PC600/1250-8 G A L E O Ecot3

TESTING & ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE

Use the following procedure as a supplement to the Shop Manual when testing & adjusting the
Komatsu PC600 - 8 & PC1250 - 8 ( “E-OLSS” Ecot3 G A L E O Machines! ) (TVC Style!)

You will find the newer iQ-OLSS style PC800-8 or 2000-8 published separately.

Always ensure that all Service Codes and Controller Input and Output signals are normal (224) before
continuing with this procedure. Follow this procedure in order from 1-9 because skipping one step will
affect the measurements in the following steps.

1) Warm the machine up to 50C operating (HYD OIL) temperature, and record all of the following Engine
Speeds using the machine monitor panel. “Touch” means PPC only open enough to close pressure switches,
but NOT move the machine. Compare these with the specified values.

** “Drop” test is pump efficiency check!
WHEN SETTING THE RELIEF PRESSURE: Relieve and measure the pressure (P mode, Full Throttle, Swing
Lock “OFF.”) Heavy Lift ON will give you the HIGH RELIEF for each valve and pump group. Then, set the
LOW RELIEF with Heavy LIFT turned OFF. Always do HIGH first. Balance all relief’s +/- 1.0 kg/cm2.

5) Measure the TVC Out (“Pe”) pressures. Compare with the standard value, and adjust TVC if necessary.
Configure machine at “P” Mode; Hi Idle, Swing Lock “OFF”.
