Fiat-hitachi EX220-5, EX220LC-5, EX230LC-5, EX230 LCH-5, EX230H-5 Parts Catalog

You have an EX220-5 sitting in the yard with a blown fuel line. Or maybe the swing motor on your EX230LC-5 is leaking. You need the part number, not a guess. Aftermarket part suppliers love to sell you something that “might fit.” That costs billable hours and your reputation. What you need is the factory Fiat-hitachi EX220-5, EX220LC-5, EX230LC-5, EX230 LCH-5, EX230H-5 Parts Catalog – 604 pages of exploded diagrams, OEM part numbers, and service codes that tell you exactly which piece goes where. This is the same book the dealer’s parts counter uses. No third-party editing, no “equivalent” numbers. Just the real thing.

I’ve been turning wrenches for 28 years. I’ve seen mechanics order the wrong seal because they used an aftermarket catalog that lumped all EX230 models together. That doesn’t happen with this manual. Each model has its own code: <220, LC> for the EX220-5 and EX220LC-5, <230LC> for the EX230LC-5 (which is the same as the EX220LC-5 for North America – see page 4), and <230H, LCH> for the EX230H-5 and EX230 LCH-5. The table on page 4 spells it out. You match the code, you get the right part. Period.

Engine and Fuel System Parts: What the Catalog Covers

Engine parts are listed under the ENGINE section, but note – the catalog points you to a separate Hino diesel engine parts catalog for internal engine parts. What this catalog gives you are the mounting brackets, supports, and components unique to the excavator: ENGINE SUPPORT, RADIATOR, RADIATOR SUPPORT, RESERVE TANK, AIR CLEANER, MUFFLER. The FUEL system is broken into FUEL TANK, FUEL TANK SUPPORT, FUEL PIPING, FUEL FEED PUMP (select), and FUEL DOUBLE FILTER (select). If you need a fuel line or a tank gasket, the diagram shows the exact routing and the part number you hand to the dealer. You’ll also find the PUMP DEVICE section, SWING DEVICE, and the maze of MAIN PIPING (1) through (4). Every hose clamp and O-ring is called out with a quantity per machine.

3 Reasons to Choose OEM Documentation

First, the service codes. This catalog uses a letter system – W, H, D, K, R, S, Z, OP, OS, US – explained on page 5. For example, “D” means you can’t order that part separately; you buy the assembly. “H” means that component is precision-handled and should be exchanged as a unit. Aftermarket catalogs strip those codes out, and you end up with a drawer full of parts you can’t use. Second, the application serial numbers. This catalog covers machines from serial 001001 onward, with machine-specific cutoff numbers for air conditioner units, heater units, and other options. Third, the regional variants: STD (standard), USA (North America), AUS (Australia). The USA spec machines have different pilot piping, different seat belts, and different track guards. This catalog separates them. You don’t waste time sorting through parts that don’t apply.

Audience Fit: Who Should Buy This Manual

If you own an EX220-5, EX220LC-5, EX230LC-5, EX230 LCH-5, or EX230H-5 excavator, and you do your own parts ordering – this is for you. Also for shop owners who have a fleet of these machines and want to stop paying dealer markup on part numbers. A junior mechanic in the field can look up a broken oil line, find the correct part number, and call it in without pulling the engine. The catalog is organized logically: UPPERSTRUCTURE (frame, engine, fuel, hydraulics, cab, electrical) and UNDERCARRIAGE (track frames, guards, rollers, sprockets). You don’t need to be a HITACHI specialist. If you can read a part number, you can use this book.

What About Torque Specs and Wiring?

This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. You won’t find torque values, wiring diagrams, or step-by-step repair procedures here. What you get is the blueprint for ordering the correct component. For example, the ELECTRIC PARTS sections (A through F) list every switch, sensor, lamp, and harness connector with its part number. If you need to replace a BOOM LIGHT (select), the part number is right there. Same for the ENGINE CONTROL UNIT, MONITOR, CONTROLLER, and the various radio options. Pair this catalog with a factory service manual for the repair specs, and you have the complete tool set. Related manuals you might need: HITACHI EX220-5 EX230-5 Parts Catalog is the same data but check for updates. For older models, see Fiat-hitachi 850-3, 850LC-3, 870H-3, 870LCH-3 Parts Catalog. And for smaller machines, Fiat-hitachi ZX50U-2 Parts Catalog – 120 Pages of OEM Specs.

FAQ

Can I use this catalog to order parts for my EX230LC-5?

Yes. The catalog lists parts for EX230LC-5 under the code <230LC>. Note that the catalog indicates the EX230LC-5 is identical to the EX220LC-5 for North America. Check the machine serial number against the application range in the catalog.

Does this catalog include torque specifications?

No.

How do I read the service codes in the catalog?

Page 5 shows a table. For example, ‘D’ means you must replace the entire assembly, not an individual piece. ‘H’ means the part is precision and should not be disassembled in the field. The codes are critical for avoiding returns.

Is this the same as a service manual?

No. This is a parts catalog. It contains exploded diagrams and part numbers only. It does not have repair procedures, torque values, or diagnostic steps. Use it alongside a factory service manual.

Bottom line: if you need the right part number for your Fiat-hitachi excavator, this 604-page factory catalog is the only source I trust. Aftermarket reprints leave out the regional and model-specific codes. You end up with a box of wrong parts. Access the Factory Manual now and stop the guesswork.
