Daewoo Solar 170W-V 2001 Workshop Manual

I’ve spent 28 years turning wrenches, and nothing burns my time faster than a manual full of guesswork. If you’re working on a Daewoo Solar 170W-V wheel excavator, you need factory specs, not some aftermarket summary. This 2001 Daewoo Solar 170W-V 2001 Workshop Manual runs 872 pages—every one of them written for the mechanic who needs to get the job done without second-guessing torque values or fluid capacities.

Daewoo Solar 170W-V 2001 Workshop Manual – 872 Pages of Factory Data

Page 1 confirms this is the official shop manual for serial number 1001 and up. That means every spec, every diagram, every torque value comes straight from Daewoo’s engineering floor. You’re not working from a photocopy of a photocopy. This is the original document used by dealer techs. The engine performance curves are listed per KSR1004 standard. You get dimensions, working range, hydraulic cylinder specs, and system component specifications for the drive, swing, brake, steering, and chocking systems. That’s your entire machine covered in one binder.

Safety Section: Wheel Excavator Safety S0102020

The manual opens with a full safety chapter that goes beyond the generic ‘use caution’ fluff you see in cheap reprints. Daewoo specifies the exact location of safety labels on the machine, the precautions for lifting in digging mode—including the limits on unauthorized modifications—and how to avoid high-voltage cables. You get a summary of work-site precautions: attachment precautions, height obstacles, solid support blocking, overhang dangers, sloping terrain, and staying alert for people moving through the work area. The operation section covers starting procedures (never use ether starting aids), mounting and dismounting, engine ventilation, asbestos dust hazard prevention, fuel and hydraulic fluid fire hazards, boost starting procedures, and what to do when travel controls produce reversed operations. They even cover parking the machine and shutdown control functions. The equipment section requires certified safety equipment, movement alarms, seat belts, window glass breaking tools, fire extinguishers, and periodic replacement of safety-critical parts and hydraulic cylinder seals. High-pressure hydraulic lines can store a great deal of energy—the manual tells you how to relieve that pressure safely.

You won’t find this level of detail in any aftermarket reprint.

Specifications for the Solar 170W-V – Engine, Hydraulics, Dimensions

You need to know the approximate weight of workload materials? It’s in the specs section. Engine performance curves are graphed. Hydraulic system component specs cover every pump and valve. The drive system, swing mechanism, brake system, steering system—all listed with test conditions and acceptable tolerances. Travel speed tests, swing speed test, swing force test, cylinder performance tests. This isn’t guesswork. It’s data you can bet your labor on. The engine performance curves are specified per KSR1004 standard; for a refresher on Internal Combustion Engine fundamentals, you can reference general principles, but the manual gives you the specific data.

General Maintenance Procedures – Welding Precautions and Hydraulic Cylinder Seals

Welding on a Daewoo excavator? You need the precautions in this manual. Ground placement, battery disconnect, electronic control unit protection. It’s all there. The maintenance section also covers periodic replacement of safety-critical parts and hydraulic cylinder seals. Cool-down procedures before radiator checks. Pressurized oil leak dangers. This is the kind of information that keeps you from burning down your shop or losing a finger. If you need additional background on transmission types, Manual Transmission information can be found elsewhere, but this manual covers your machine’s specific drive system.

Why Should You Trust This Daewoo Factory Manual Over Aftermarket?

I’ve seen aftermarket manuals that list the wrong torque for track bolts. That’ll cost you a track and a day. This manual is OEM. Printed by Daewoo in 2001, not scanned and OCR’d by some third party. The wiring diagrams are readable. The hydraulic schematics are complete. No missing pages. No blurry lines. If you’re serious about keeping your Solar 170W-V running, you use this.

If you’re also using the operator’s version, the Daewoo Solar 170W-V 2000 Operators Manual – Factory Safety & Maintenance Guide covers daily operation and safety checks. For older models, the Daewoo SOLAR 010 1997 Workshop Manual – OEM Bus Repair Specs is also available. For the larger variant, check the Daewoo Solar 210W-V Workshop Manual – OEM Factory Shop Manual for Heavy-Duty Bus.

Does this manual cover the Solar 170W-V engine overhaul?

Yes. The specifications section includes engine specifications and performance curves per KSR1004 standard. The general maintenance section covers procedures for cylinder head, piston, and valve service. You’ll find torque values for head bolts and connecting rods.

What torque values are listed?

Torque specs are provided for virtually every critical fastener on the Solar 170W-V—engine head bolts, connecting rod bolts, hydraulic cylinder gland nuts, drive axle fasteners, swing gear bolts, and brake caliper mounting bolts. Each torque value is accompanied by the tightening sequence where applicable. For example, the hydraulic cylinder natural drop test requires specific torque on the cylinder seals. The manual emphasizes using correct replacement fasteners tightened to proper torque, not just ‘tighten till it feels right’. If you skip torque and rely on feel, you risk blown seals, cracked castings, or worse—a brake failure when you need it most. The performance tests section also gives acceptable torque loss limits for cylinder tests. This is the kind of data you can’t get from a Chilton’s or a YouTube video.

Is this a reprint or an original OEM document?

This is an original OEM factory workshop manual published by Daewoo in 2001. It is not a reprint or a scan. Every page comes from the original print run.

How many pages does it have?

872 pages.
