5. Setup and Installation
Installation of the monitor requires careful attention to electrical connections and mounting. It is recommended that installation be performed by a certified technician.
- Preparation: Ensure the excavator is turned off and the battery is disconnected. Access the existing monitor location in the excavator's cabin.
- Removal of Old Monitor: Carefully disconnect all wiring harnesses and remove any mounting screws securing the old monitor. Gently extract the old unit.
- Mounting the New Monitor: Position the MAKO AIRTEK 21M8-50011 Monitor into the designated slot. Secure it using appropriate mounting hardware (not included, typically reused from the original unit or purchased separately). Ensure it is firmly seated and does not vibrate.
- Wiring Connections: Connect the excavator's wiring harnesses to the corresponding ports on the rear of the new monitor. Refer to the excavator's service manual for specific wiring diagrams if necessary. Ensure all connections are snug and correctly oriented.
- Final Checks: Once all connections are made, reconnect the excavator's battery. Turn the ignition to the 'ON' position (without starting the engine) to verify the monitor powers on and displays correctly. Check for any error codes or unusual behavior.
- Engine Start: If initial checks are satisfactory, start the excavator engine and observe the monitor's readings (RPM, temperature, fuel, hours) to ensure they are accurate and responsive.
Tip: Please provide your nameplate information to ensure you have the correct product for your specific excavator model.
