Kobelco SK350LC-9E specifications
Identify the front and its auxiliary circuits
The SK350LC-9E's short-arm digging envelope is not its standard-arm envelope. Kobelco publishes separate reach columns and a bucket-selection chart that restricts combinations by arm length, bucket duty and material density. The weight table changes with shoe width.
Its headline operating weight describes one equipped arrangement, so it cannot establish transport weight for an excavator carrying a different arm, coupler or bucket.
The original brochure also distinguishes the hydraulic tank's oil level from the complete system capacity. Those are separate refill quantities. Its Tier IV Final engine uses both particulate filtration and urea SCR; a regeneration switch and DEF gauge serve different functions.
Check the installed emissions equipment before treating a no-power complaint as a hydraulic-controller fault.
Kobelco SK350LC-9E-NA-101, engine, capacity, front and track schedulesKobelco's January 2015 ordering schedule explains why apparently similar auxiliary plumbing may do different work. It lists an additional rotation pump and valve, a rotation-plus-two-way proportional arrangement, and separate hand- or foot-operated nibbler/breaker packages. The latter packages distinguish single- and double-pump supply.
A pair of hoses at the arm does not identify the ordered package.
That schedule lists a control-pattern changer, single-pedal travel and a mass front as additional choices. Ask which are actually fitted. Its historical list prices are not present-day used-machine values, and the factory expressly warned that equipment outside the standard arrangement could change availability and delivery.
Match any replacement attachment to the machine's circuit specification before deciding that the cheapest advertised base excavator is the cheapest working package.
Kobelco January 2015 ordering schedule, SK350LC-9E equipment and auxiliary optionsThe linked mechatronic discussion has an identification problem worth recognizing. Its title names the SK350LC-9E, but the first poster writes SK340LC-9E. The reported symptoms were a running engine with no throttle response and no hydraulics; the dash registered throttle movement that the engine controller did not.
Participants suggested several checks, but the public discussion ends with a later request for a solution. It does not document a confirmed repair or establish that SK350LC-9E controllers commonly fail.
