The Comfotr Zone

Superior Visibility
47o/o of the total cab area is tinted
glass, giving the operator a clear and
complete view of the working
environment. This greatly increases
the operator's confidence and
productivity.

Efficient Layout of Controls

The cab of the Komatsu Wheel Loader
is designed around the operator. The
most critical controls, such as the
transmission and work equipment
controls, are conveniently located to
allow low-effort finger tip operation.
This ease of operation contributes to
increased operator efficiency and
greater machine productivitY.

Two Door Walk-Through Cab

Provides easy entrance and exit from
either side of the machine.

Adjustable Suspension Seat

Ergonomically designed and fullY
adjustable for maximum operator
comfort.

Efficient and Gomfortable
Electrically Controlled
Transmission
Allows the operator to quickly and
easily shift gears without removing
their hands from the steering wheel.
Directional and speed shift levers
utilize electrical signals and control
valves, so that gear changes are
smooth and easy.
Electronic Display and Monitoring
System
ls a highly effective and reliable
display/warning system which
continuously monitors all operating
systems. lf a malfunction should
occur the operator is immediately
warned which system is experiencing
trouble, saving downtime and repair
costs. Also, gauges constantly
monitor coolant temperature, fuel
level, service hours and speed.
Komatsu's transmission monitoring
system ensures that the engine
cannot be started unless the
transmission is in neutral.
Tilt Steering Column
Has a 4" 100mm tilt range, allowing
the operator to select the optimum
position for greater comfort.
Full Hydraulic Steering System
Ensures smooth, constant steering
regardless of engine speed, which
results in easy machine operation,
fast cycle times and increased
maneuverability.
Direct Control Work Equipment
Provides excellent fine control with
minimal operator effort greatly
increases efficiency for maximum
performance.
Kickdown Switch
Located on top of the boom control
lever.
. The Komatsu Kickdown Switch
provides faster cycle times and
reduced operator etfort.
. As the loader bucket penetrates
the pile, depressing the switch
i mmed iately sh ifts the transm ission
from F2 lo F1 .
. This enables the machine to fully
utilize its maximum loading power
for big bucket payloads while
allowing the operator to keep his
hand on the steering wheel.
o Once the bucket is loaded, a simple
flick of the directional lever to
reverse automatically puts the
transmission in R2 for faster reverse
cycle times.
The transmission modulation feature
minimizes shock generated during
gear changes, assuring a smooth and
comfortable ride and protection forthe
power train components.
KDC 61 4T Engine
KDC 614T Engine
ls a water cooled, four-stroke-cycle, 6
cylinder in line, overhead valve, turbo-
charged, direct injection engine. Which
offers outstanding power, excellent
fuel econolTly, easy servicing and high
reliability.
Cross-Flow Head Design
Single-piece cross-flow cyl inder head
design contains two valves per cylinder
with short exhaust ports for quicker
response. One-piece design also
reduces possibility of air and fuel leaks.
Dual Thermostat Control
The twin thermostat design of this
engine provides high flow capacity
and even flow control. Below operating
temperatures, the thermostats close,
bypassing the water to the pump inlet.
At higher temperatures, both
thermostats open, restricting the
bypass flow to provide optimum engine
cooling.
Dual Ni-Resist Piston lnserts
Piston design incorporates a dual Ni-
Resist insert and keystroke profile
ring grooves for better oil control and
increased piston life.
Replaceable Cylinder Liners
Wet, replaceable press-fit cylinder
liners are used for improved coolant
seal at the top of the liner. This results
in higher durability and easier
serviceability.
Frame and Loader Linkage
Box-Section Rear Frame
A strong and sturdy backbone for the
WA380-1 . The box-section design
absorbs shock and torsional loads,
provides a rigid structure for
mai ntaini ng drivel ine al ignment for long
component life.
Four Plate Loader Tower
Ensures the highest durability even
under the severest loading conditions.
The lift arms, lift cylinders, and bucket
cylinders are attached at both sides to
resist shocks and corner loading
stress.
Solid Plate Lift Arms & Single Z'
Bar
For maximum strength and visibility.
Cast-steel cross tube assures proper
pin bore alignment extending pin life.
Single Z-bar provides a clear view to
the bucket, even distribution of loads,
fewer wear and grease points.
Casting Used in High Stress Areas
Provide maximum strength in high
stress areas.
Spread Center Hinge Pin Design
Reduces stress loads on hinge Pins
and roller bearings for longer life and
excellent service access.
Sealed Loader Linkage Pins
Features internal lip seals and external
cord rings at the bucket - to keep the
grease in and contaminants out for
extended grease intervals.
Quality Welds
Majority of welds are performed
robots. Consistent welds with superior
penetration and exceptional plate
fusion yield strong, fatigue resistant
welds.

provide the most reliable and durable
power train system in the industry.

Transmission
Electronic shifting with modulation
valve provides smooth consistent
shifts with light effortfinger-tip control.
Large diameter clutches and highly
heat resistant linings coupled with high

high torque carrying capacity for
outstanding reliability and durability.
