DigMaster DM200 Excv.

I emailed digmaster and asked about a DM200 operators manual, and they sent me one!

I looked thru all 120+ pages.

They DO talk about the various filters in the DM200, with photos. An inline filter for the pilot controls is shown, but does not tell where it is. I suspect inside one of the covers near one of the joysticks.

The procedure to adjust the main system RV is bizarre, and without any pressure spec I can find. No mention of the pilot RV location and setting. No hydraulic circuit schematic diagram. No electrical diagram either.

Actually it is just below the rear engine compartment door on the right side. You can see the Hydraulic oil cooler on the extreme left in front of the radiator and the return line exiting out the bottom and running next to the rear bulkhead to the filter canister on the right and then up to the top of the Hydraulic oil tank.
Oh you are talking about the "Pilot Filter". I don't know where that is.
The manual is short on specs, not a very comprehensive manual. Seems very generic.

I did find this website that seems to have stuff for this mini digger, fuel, oil and hydraulic oil filters.

Here is a manual for the Kubota Z482E Motor.

If any one locates the hydraulic filters, let me know where they are located at. I went down to my building and was trying to locate them. The way I am reading the book there should be 3 of them. The picture on page 125 of the manual is different than mine. I know there is a screen filter in the tank which I didn't see mentioned.. I see where ones appears to be on the right side that goes on the return line to the tank, looks like some kind of valve . Looks like they are showing a cartage, filter a canister and pilot filter. I removed the floor board where the control sticks are and did not see a pilot filter. Also does any one know where you can get touch up paint?

I just became the proud owner of a DM200. Won at RB auction this AM. Would love some pointers on preventative maintenance/fixes I should do to help it last.

I just picked mine up from FastBid in Pismo. Great machine. I'll let you know what I get figured out.

Creston! I'm right down the road from you across from Cass Winery.

I just got a message from a fellow in Mexico who owns one and he said there are no hyd. filters on it, that you have to add one. Can any one confirm if they do or not have a filter on it.

Take this with a grain of salt.......in my opinion, this unit resembles the one in the pic.
