Safety Notice
= Important Safety Notice
Proper service and repair is extremely important for safe machine operation. Some of the described service
and repair techniques require the use of tools specially designed by Komatsu for the specific purpose.
To prevent injury to workers, the symbol = is used to mark safety precautions in this manual. The cautions
accompanying these symbols must always be followed carefully. If any dangerous situation arises or may
possibly arise, first consider safety, and take the necessary actions to deal with the situation.
= General Precautions
Mistakes in operation are extremely dangerous. Read the OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL ca-
refully before operating the machine! Always follow the safety rules valid in your country carefully!
1. Before carrying out any greasing or repairs, read all the precautions given on the decals which are fixed to
the machine.
2. When carrying out any operation, always wear safety shoes and helmet. Do not wear loose work clothes,
or clothes with buttons missing.
l Always wear safety glasses when hitting parts with a hammer.
l Always wear safety glasses when grinding parts with a grinder, etc.
3. If welding repairs are needed, always have a trained, experienced welder carry out the work. When carrying
out welding work, always wear welding gloves, apron, glasses, cap and other clothes suited for welding
work.
4. When carrying out any operation with two or more workers, always agree on the operating procedure before
starting. Always inform your fellow workers before starting any step of the operation. Before starting work,
hang UNDER REPAIR signs on the controls in the operator's compartment.
5. Keep all tools in good condition and learn the correct way to use them.
6. Decide a place in the repair workshop to keep tools and removed parts. Always keep the tools and parts in
their correct places. Always keep the work area clean and make sure that there is no dirt or oil on the floor.
Never smoke while working. Smoke only in the areas provided for smoking.
Preparations for Work

7. Before adding oil or making any repairs, park the machine on hard, level ground, and block the wheels or
tracks to prevent the machine from moving.
8. Before starting work, lower blade, ripper, bucket or any other work equipment to the ground and install the
safety bar on the frame. If this is not possible, insert the safety pin or use blocks to prevent the work equip-
ment from falling. In addition, be sure to lock all the control levers and hang warning signs on them.
9. When disassembling or assembling, support the machine with blocks, jacks or stands before starting work..
10. Remove all mud and oil from the steps or other places used to get on and off the machine. Always use the
handrails, ladders or steps when getting on or off the machine. Never jump on or off the machine. If it is
impossible to use the handrails, ladders or steps, use a stand to provide safe footing.

Safety Notice SAFETY
Precautions during Work

11. When measuring hydraulic pressure, check that the measuring tool is correctly assembled before taking any
measurements.
12. When removing the oil filler cap, drain plug or hydraulic pressure measuring plugs, loosen them slowly to
prevent the oil from spurting out.
Before disconnecting or removing components of the oil, water or air circuits, first remove the pressure com-
pletely from the circuit.
13. The water and oil in the circuits are hot when the engine is stopped, so be careful not to get burned.
Wait for the oil and water to cool before carrying out any work on the oil or water circuits.
14. Before starting work, remove the leads from the battery. Always remove the lead from the negative (-) ter-
minal first.
15. When raising heavy components, use a hoist or crane.
Check that the wire rope, chains and hooks are free from damage.
Always use lifting equipment which has ample capacity.
Install the lifting equipment at the correct places. Use a hoist or crane and operate slowly to prevent the
component from hitting any other part.
Do not work with any part still raised by the hoist or crane.
16. When removing covers which are under internal pressure or under pressure from a spring, always leave
two bolts in position on opposite sides. Slowly release the pressure, then slowly loosen the bolts to remove.
17. When removing components, be careful not to break or damage the wiring. Damaged wiring may cause
electrical fires.
18. When removing piping, stop the fuel or oil from spilling out. If any fuel or oil drips onto the floor, wipe it up
immediately. Fuel or oil on the floor can cause you to slip, or can even start fires.
19. As a general rule, do not use gasoline to wash parts. In particular, use only the minimum of gasoline when
washing electrical parts. Do not smoke!
20. Be sure to assemble all parts again in their original places.
Replace any damaged parts with new parts.
l When installing hoses and wires, be sure that they will not be damaged by contact with other parts when
the machine is being operated.
21. When installing high pressure hoses, make sure that they are not twisted.
Damaged tubes are dangerous, so be extremely careful when installing tubes for high pressure circuits. Al-
so, check that connecting parts are correctly installed.
22. When aligning two holes, never insert your fingers or hand. Be careful not to get your fingers caught in a
hole.
23. When assembling or installing parts, always use the specified tightening torques. When installing protective
parts such as guards, or parts which vibrate violently or rotate at high speed, be particularly careful to check
that they are installed correctly.

SAFETY Hoisting Instructions
Hoisting Instructions
= Heavy parts (25kg or more) must be lifted with a hoist, etc. In the DISASSEMBLY AND
ASSEMBLY section, every part weigthing 25 kg or more is indicated clearly with the 4
symbol:
If a part cannot be smoothly removed from the machine by hoisting, the following checks should be made:
1. Check for removal of all bolts fastening the part to the relative parts.
2. Check for existence of another part causing interference with the part to be removed.
Wire Ropes
1. Use adequate ropes depending on the weight of parts to be hoisted, refering to the table below:
« The allowable load in tons, is given by vertical tensible force.
« The allowable load value is estimated to be one-sixth or one-seventh of the breaking strength of the rope
used.
Wire ropes:
(Standard "Z" or "S" twist ropes without galvanizing)
Rope diameter (mm) Allowable load (tons)
10 1.0
11.2 1.4
12.5 1.6
14 2.2
16 2.8
18 3.6
20 4.4
22.4 5.6
30 10.0
40 18.0
50 28.0
60 40.0
2. Sling wire ropes from the middle portion of the hook.

Slinging near the edge of the hook may cause the rope to slip off the hook during hoisting, and a serious
accident can result. Hooks have maximum strength at the middle portion.
100% 88% 79% 71% 41%
00-7
Hoisting Instructions SAFETY
3. Do not sling a heavy load with one rope alone, but sling with two or more ropes symmetrically wound onto
the load.
= Slinging with one rope may cause turning of the load during hoisting, untwisting of the rope, or slipping of
the rope from its original winding position on the load, which can result in a dangerous accident.
4. Do not sling a heavy load with ropes forming a wide hanging angle from the hook.
When hoisting a load with two or more ropes, the force subjected to each rope will increase with the hanging
angles.
The table below shows the variation of allowable load (kg) when hoisting is made with two ropes, each of
which is allowed to sling up to 1000 kg vertically, at various hanging angles.
When two ropes sling a load vertically, up to 2000 kg of total weight can be suspended. This weight beco-
mes 1000 kg when two ropes make a 120° hanging angle. On the other hand, two ropes are subjected to
an excessive force as large as 4000 kg if they sling a 2000 kg load at a lifting angle of 150°.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE GUIDLINE
OUTLINES OF SERVICE
OIL:
• The oil in the engine and the hydraulic system is subject to extre-
me conditions (high temperatures, high pressure). The quality
decreases, therefore, as operation increases.
Always use oil types complying with the operation and temperature
specifications in the operation and maintenance manual. Always
observe prescribed oil change intervals.
• Special attention must be paid when storing, handling and, in
particular, topping up oil and grease to prevent these from becoming
soiled. The majority of functional faults are caused by unclean oil.
• Never mix different types or brands of oil.
• Always top up the prescribed oil quantities.
Functional disturbances can be caused by too much or too little
oil.
• If the oil in the work hydraulic system is not clear (milky), oil or air
is probably penetrating the circuit. In this case, contact you local
Komatsu dealer.
• If changing oil, change corresponding oil filter as well.
• We recommend having a regular oil analysis carried out by your
local Komatsu dealer in order to establish the condition of the
machine.
GREASE:
• Grease is used to prevent wear and build-up of noise.
• Grease nipples not mentioned in the service section are for
overhaul purposes; for this reason, they do not need to be greased.
• If a part becomes sluggish after long use, lubricate with grease.
• Wipe off any old grease which is pressed out when lubricating.
Any sand or dirt in the grease causes considerable wear.
01-12
FUEL:
• The fuel injection pump is a precision instrument. Fuel containing
water or dirt causes damage to the fuel injection pump.
• Take maximum care when storing fuel or refuelling to avoid any
soiling.
• Always use the fuel prescribed in the operation and maintenance
manual.
• Paraffin can precipitate from fuel at temperatures below -15 °C
and block filters and lines. Always use suitable fuel if working in
this temperature range.
• Always top up fuel at the end of each working day to prevent air
humidity precipitating and water forming in the fuel tank.
• If you want to drain dirt and water from the fuel tank, wait at least
ten minutes after filling so that the swirling foreign bodies can settle
again.
• Fuel system will have to be bled if it has been run dry or the filter
has been changed.
• Engine oil change periods will have to be reduced by half if fuel is
being used with a sulphur content of 0.5 to 1.0 % and reduced to
one quarter if fuel with a sulphur content of more than 1.0 % is
being used.
BIOLOGICALLY DEGRADABLE HYDRAULIC OILS AND GREASE:

• Biologically degradable hydraulic oils and grease - on a diester oil
basis - can be used in Komatsu machines. Please contact our
works dealers for the products approved by us and most suitable
for your requirements.
STORAGE OF OIL AND FUEL:

• Store oil and fuel indoors to prevent it being contaminated by water,
dirt or other foreign bodies.
• If storing for longer periods, lay the drum on its side so that the
filler opening is located at the side. This prevents moisture from
forming inside the drum.
• Drums being stored in the open must be covered with watertight
foil or other appropriate measures taken to protect them.
• Always use the principle "first in, first out" to prevent any loss in
quality if storing for longer periods of time, i.e. always use the
oldest oil or fuel first.
01-13
COOLANT:
• Always mix coolant according to specifications of machine-related
section of the maintenance manual.
• River water contains large quantities of calcium and other foreign
bodies. If using this type of water, scale collects in the engine and
the radiator and restricts heat exchange which can result in
overheating.
• Do not use water which is also not suitable as drinking water.
• When using anti-freeze, always observe the instructions in the
operating and maintenance manual.
• Our machines are supplied with original antifreeze from Komatsu.
This antifreeze prevents corrosion in the cooling system, among
other things, lubricates moving parts, raises the boiling point of
the coolant and must therefore also be used at hot working sites.
• Anti-freeze is inflammable and particular attention must therefore
be paid that it does not come into contact with naked flames.
• If the anti-freeze level is too low, it can cause overheating and
corrosion to the cooling system because of the air in the coolant.
• If the engine overheats and it is necessary to top up with coolant,
wait until the engine has cooled down before topping up.
FILTERS:
Filters are extremely important safety components. They prevent
foreign bodies from entering individual circuits and sections of
equipment and causing damage there.
• Change all filters regularly. Further details in this respect can be
found in the operating and maintenance manual. The filters will
have to be changed more frequently if working under extreme
conditions depending on the type of oil and fuel being used, e.g.
with a high sulphur content.
• Never attempt to clean cartridge filters and use them again. Always
replace these filters with new ones. If changing oil filters, check
whether there are any metal particles inside the old filter. If this is
the case, contact your local Komatsu dealer.
• Do not open the package with the replacement filters until
immediately before installing.
• Always use original filters from Komatsu.
01-14
DETAILS OF ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:

• Never remove or alter electrical components installed in the
machine.
• Never install any other electrical components other than those
approved by Komatsu.
• Pay attention that no water enters the electrical system if washing
the machine or working in the rain.
• Wet wiring or damaged insulation can result in insulation faults in
the electrical system and, consequently, functional faults in the
machine.
• If working close to the coast, clean the machinery carefully to
prevent any corrosion.
• A foreign source of power must never be connected to the fuses,
the starter switch or the battery relay.
• Maintenance of the electrical system consists of:
1. checking the tension of the belt for the three-phase generator
2. checking the belt of the three-phase generator for damage and
wear
3. checking the acid level in the battery.
WEARING PARTS:
• Wearing parts such as filter cartridge, air filter element, exhauster,
must be changed when carrying out regular maintenance work or
when the respective wear or dirt level limit has been reached.
• This work must be carried out regularly and correctly at the
prescribed intervals in order to ensure economical use of the
machine.
• Only use original KOMATSU spare parts
• Always quote the part number as listed in the spare parts catalogue
when ordering spare parts.

Power flow:
The torque converter is mounted between the en-

gine and the gear box. The power from the engine
flows through the flywheel and the torque converter
drive plate (3) into the torque converter housing
which contains the impeller (5). The rotating power
of the torque converter impeller is transmitted
through oil, to the turbine (4), the output shaft (8),
and the drive gear (7) and so to the gear box. The
hydraulic pumps are driven by the hydraulic pump
drive shaft (9).
Oil flow:
Oil from the transmission pump flows through a

filter to the inlet port (A). Further through an oil
channel between the stator and impeller into the
impeller (5).
The impeller imparts the oil with centrifugal force,
the oil flows into the turbine (4) and transfers this
centrifugal force into rotating energy in the turbine.
The turbine rotates the output shaft (8) and, in turn,
the gearbox.
When leaving the turbine (4) the oil enters the stator
(6) and is diverted back into the torque converter
impeller. Some of the oil is allowed to flow through
a channel and out of the torque converter (B) to
the oil cooler.

allows the torque converter to operate effectively
and multiply the engine torque. Heat generated
during this process is removed by the oil. The oil is
thrown out of the impeller and passes into the tur-
bine. The turbine is driven by the force of the oil
entering it, the oil changes its direction of flow on
entering the turbine. Depending on the degree of
direction change, the turbine transfers more or less
torque to the gear-box input shaft. After leaving the
turbine the oil enters the stator. This causes the oil
to again change direction so that it can re enter the
impeller.
