So I know I shouldn’t have... but the price was great so I picked up a really clean Airman AX40ur-5.
Now I’m searching around for a service manual (it’s not broken, just want to prepare and do maintenance) and am totally striking out... which is to be expected I guess.
I was hoping someone here had some info or a direction for me to look in to find info on this thing?

What fluids to use? Capacities? Any info at all would be great...

That’s what I’m kinda thinking but not sure... do I just go with a service manual for the hitachi? It has a yanmar engine.

"1991 Began to sell new mini-excavator AX series which was jointly developed with Hitachi Construction Machinery. Created a new sensation with original color of purple into construction industry which orange color is popular."

So I guess they are basically one and the same?

It looks very similar to the Deere and hitachi... however, mine is the dash 5 model with a swing boom and there is no info that I’ve been able to find. Seems like it doesn’t exist( online at least) but there is info up to dash 4 models.
That’s the risk in gray market

Also, looks like I have a warning light on... red “sys” light.
I’ll make a separate post for that.
