Daewoo Solar S220LC-V 1998 Operators Manual

If you’re running a Daewoo Solar S220LC-V 1998 Operators Manual without the factory document, you’re guessing. I’ve seen guys skip the safety decal locations and stick a hand where it doesn’t belong. This 180-page manual is the real deal – original Daewoo publication from 1998, part number 2022-7145SP, covering serial number 0001 and up. It’s not a third-party summary or a photocopy. You get the exact instructions the factory wrote for your machine.

Safety Section: More Than Decals (Chapter 1)

Chapter 1 runs from page 1-1 to 1-26. It opens with an operator warning – Daewoo tells you straight up that continuous improvement means no obligation to retrofit older machines. Then you get essential safety measures, locations of every safety decal, and precautions for lifting the excavator mechanism. Page 1-10 covers the summary of precautions during excavation lifting. If you’ve ever seen a machine tip because someone ignored the work area precautions on page 1-11, you’ll appreciate this section. Lift capacity tables are on page 1-26 – you need those for any rigging job.

What Controls Are Covered in Chapter 2?

Chapter 2 (pages 2-1 to 2-34) maps out every control location. Operator cab layout, console controls, instrument panel, mode selection switches, A/C and heater panel, radio, seat adjustment, safety belt, roof hatch, front windows, door latch, access covers, storage compartments – it’s all there. The section on the safety lever (page 3-13 in Chapter 3) ties into this. You won’t be wondering which switch does what.

7 Systems in the Troubleshooting Chapter (Chapter 6)

Chapter 6 breaks troubleshooting into seven systems: engine, hydraulic system, swing system, electrical system, and travel system. Each section lists symptoms, probable causes, and corrective actions. If your track won’t drive or the bucket drifts, you start here. The manual doesn’t assume you know the hydraulic schematic – it gives you the procedure. Pair this with a Internal Combustion Engine reference if you need basic theory on the engine side.

Follow the Maintenance Schedule in Chapter 4

Chapter 4 (page 4-1 to 4-49) is where you live. It covers machine preparation for maintenance, recommended lubricants table (page 4-4), and intervals from 10 hours up to 4000 hours. Page 4-6 starts the interval chart – daily checks, weekly, 150-hour, 250-hour, 500-hour, 750, 1000, 2000, 4000. The 10-hour daily checklist on page 4-8 includes fluid level checks, filter inspections, and track tension. The hydraulic system bleeding procedure is on page 4-35 – that’s critical after any line work. Accumulator handling (page 4-37) and electrical system checks (page 4-38) are covered too. For track tension, see page 4-44. This manual even tells you how to store the machine for long periods (page 4-49).

OEM Documentation vs. Aftermarket Copies

I’ve seen aftermarket manuals that miss the cable harness routing or get the lift capacity wrong. This is the original Daewoo publication – no guesswork. The format matches what the dealer uses. When you access the factory manual, you get the same diagrams and torque specs that the factory printed. For other Daewoo models, check the Daewoo Solar 400LC-V Operation and Maintenance Manual or the Daewoo Solar 420LC-V Operation and Maintenance Manual – Section: Electri if you need electrical specifics on a similar platform. The Daewoo DH50 Operation and Maintenance Manual covers a smaller machine but shares some hydraulic system logic.

Specifications: Standard and Working Range (Chapter 7)

Chapter 7 (page 7-1) gives you standard specs – engine model, hydraulic pump flow, operating weight, swing speed, track dimensions. The working range diagram on page 7-3 shows maximum reach, digging depth, and dump height. If you’re planning a job, you need those numbers to avoid asking too much of the machine.

Transport and Lifting (Chapter 5)

Chapter 5 (page 5-1) covers loading/unloading and sling lifting. The sling lift procedure on page 5-3 includes lifting point locations and weight distribution. Ignore that and you could drop the machine off the trailer.

One last thing: if you need a Manual Transmission reference for the travel drive, this manual doesn’t cover transmission overhaul – it’s an operators manual, not a service manual. But it does tell you how to operate the travel pedals and check the drive oil.

Is this manual in English?

No, it is the original Spanish-language edition.

What page has the lift capacity tables?

Page 1-26 in the Safety chapter.

Does it cover the hydraulic hammer attachment?

Yes, section 3-32 (page 32 of Chapter 3) covers hydraulic hammer operation in detail. It includes setup procedures, operation guidelines, safety precautions specific to hammer use – such as avoiding blank firing and proper attachment pin inspection. The manual also references the hydraulic system bleeding procedure (section 4-35) required after installing or removing the hammer. If you run a hammer on your Solar S220LC-V, this is the section you need to read before you start breaking concrete.

How often should I replace the hydraulic oil according to this manual?

The maintenance schedule in Chapter 4 specifies hydraulic oil change at 1000 hours (section 4-27). But you must also check for contamination at 500 hours. The manual lists recommended oils in the lubricant table on page 4-4.

You need this manual if you take your Daewoo Solar S220LC-V seriously. It’s 180 pages of factory procedure, not someone’s guess. Access the Factory Manual now and keep it in the cab.
