hi ,
i own a fai 212 from 1989 and the final drive was broken ( dents )
in England the machine was also branded as hy-mac
it was a komatsu licence machine
can someone tell me the exact type number of the final drive
on mine there are no marks anymore just a type plate with a ( capital ) I as last letter from the brand
maybe Nachi ???

thanks in advance

Hi

I also own a FAI 212 mini excavator. It is a 1990 edition with 3 cilinder Perkins engine.
As the previous owners have not kept the instructions and those are really difficult to find online, I would have some questions to any of you who handled such mchine.
I have the control panel . On the top left side there are 3 switches, letfmost one is the light on the arm, the right one is the heater and the middle one I don't know.
Same question for the lights above the time-meter. here are 4 of them, the right most one is the glow plug.
When starting up, the 1,2 and 4 are lit, and after the engine starts they are off. Is this normal?
What is the meaning of 1,2 and 3?

Now about fluids.
I have exchanged coolant and engine oil & oil filter.
I'm looking now to replace air and fuel filters. I have not found the hydraulic filter. Is there any and if yes, where is it?
Can I use 10W40 motor oil for hydraulics? How many liters do I need and where can I bleed the entire system?

It is obvious that I'm a beginner, but I like this a lot (mechanics) and willing to learn.

I'll appreciate your answers
Thanks in advance,
D.

hey, sorry for late reply
the hydraulics filter is under the electrical board where the ignition key is
by mine was the hydraulics fluid atf ( automatic transmission fluid )
approx 15 liters
