INDUCEMENT STRATEGY
• The purpose of inducement is to prompt the operator to perform maintenance or repair on the emissions
control system.
• Inducement strategy is a control action to ensure prompt correction of various failures in the engine emis-
sions control system. It requires actions to limit engine performance and defines required indication such as
warning lamps and messages, as well as alarms while the control actions are imposed. The warning steps
of Inducement are different between for North America and for European Union.
• The categories of abnormalities that have triggered Inducement are displayed on the “SCR Information”
screen of the machine monitor.

SYSTEM OPERATING LAMP SYSTEM 10 STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION
REMARK
• The system operating lamp may look slightly luminous in the dark after it is turned off. It is due to the minute
leakage of current and not an abnormal phenomenon.
• KOMTRAX terminal performs communication periodically even if the starting switch is kept in “OFF” position,
thus it starts and stops repeatedly.
The start and stop cycle (sleep cycle) of KOMTRAX terminal varies depending on the factors including the
communication state and machine stop time. So the lamp can be lit as long as approximately 1 hour.
• The system operating lamp goes out in max. 6 minutes after the starting switch is turned to “OFF” position.
• After the engine is stopped, AdBlue/DEF in AdBlue/DEF injector or AdBlue/DEF pump is automatically
sucked into AdBlue/DEF tank to prevent malfunction caused by freezing of AdBlue/DEF or deposition of
urea. Accordingly, the system operating lamp keeps lit for a while after the starting switch is turned to “OFF”
position, and this is normal.

It lights up when KOMTRAX is performing communication, even if the starting switch is set to OFF position.
• If battery disconnect switch (1) is turned OFF for a long period, the machine monitor and the clock of the
radio may be initialized. In this case, re-setting is required.

10 STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM
• The engine controller receives the fuel control dial signals of the 1st throttle, decelerator pedal signals of
the 2nd throttle, and 3rd throttle signals which are the control signals from the power train controller, and
then controls the fuel supply pump corresponding to the command signals of the lowest engine speed.
• The 3rd throttle control signals are deceleration in reverse travel, deceleration in neutral, etc.
• The power train controller calculates a proper engine speed from information of deceleration in reverse
travel, deceleration in neutral, etc., and sends it as the 3rd throttle signal to the engine controller.
• The information of the engine controller is shared with the other controllers through the network and used
for the optimum control of the engine and machine.
• Deceleration in reverse travel is the function that restricts the idle engine speed to adjust reverse speed to
the set speed when reverse slow mode is selected.
• Deceleration in neutral is a function to limit the high idle speed while the transmission is in neutral.

FUNCTION OF DAMPER
• The damper, decreases the torsional vibration caused by the change in engine torque and the impact tor-
que generated when accelerating suddenly or when performing heavy-duty digging. In this way, it acts to
protect the torque converter, transmission, and other parts of the power train.
• The damper uses a rubber coupling, so the vibration is absorbed by the damping effect of the rubber mate-
rial. Also, the damper has few component parts.
OPERATION OF DAMPER
1. The power from the engine is transmitted to outer body (2) through flywheel (1).
2. The power transmitted to outer body (2) is transmitted to inner body (4) through rubber coupling (3) which
absorbs the torsional vibration of the engine.
3. The power transmitted to inner body (4) is transmitted through universal joint (5) to the torque converter and
transmission.

3: KDPF, AdBlue/DEF mixing tube, SCR assembly
4: EGR cooler
5: EGR valve
• The exhaust gas regulations are applied to the exhaust gas from the engine running at low speed, as well
as at high speed. To meet this, the EGR ratio is improved. (EGR ratio = Ratio of amount of EGR to amount
of fresh suction air)
• To attain high EGR ratio, turbine inlet pressure (P3) must be set higher than boost pressure (P2) (P3 > P2).
For this reason, the variable turbocharger (KVGT) is employed, in which the exhaust gas pressure acting
on turbine impeller (T) is adjustable.
Also, since the boost pressure increases more quickly, generation of particulate caused by lack of oxygen
during low-speed operation (rotation) is reduced.
• The shaft joined to turbine impeller (T) drives blower impeller (C) and sends much air to the cylinder for
combustion.
If KVGT (2) sends more air, the fuel injection rate can be increased, thus the engine output is increased.
In addition, the air cooled by aftercooler becomes dense, that is, more oxygen is supplied, thus the fuel in-
jection rate can be increased and the engine output is increased.
NOTICE
Adequate amount of clean high quality oil is required to maintain KVGT performance. Be sure to use
Komatsu genuine high quality oil. Follow the procedures in the Operation and Maintenance Manual
when replacing oil or oil filter.
10-46 D155AXI-8
10 STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION COMPONENT PARTS OF ENGINE SYSTEM
OPERATION OF KVGT
1. The exhaust gas enters (C) of turbine housing (4) and flows out through portion (P) and (D). Portion (P) is
surrounded by plate (5) fixed to turbine housing, nozzle ring (7), and vanes (6).
The area of its passage is changed by sliding push rod (8) to the right or left.
2. Hydraulic actuator (3) moves piston (12) in the actuator up and down with the hydraulic pressure controlled
by EPC valve installed to the front cover, and slides push rod (8) to the right and left.
3. The exhaust gas flowing through vanes (6) rotates blower impeller (10) through shaft (9) joined to turbine
impeller (11). As the result, the blower impeller works as a compressor, and the intake air entering through
(A) is compressed and discharge through (B).
4. When the exhaust gas pressure at inlet (C) of turbine housing (4) is low (engine speed is in low range),
push rod (8) slides to the right and narrows portion (P).
5. The exhaust gas acting on turbine impeller (11) increases, the turbocharger speed increases, and more air
(oxygen) is taken in.
KVGT speed sensor (2) detects the rotation of the turbocharger.
When nozzle ring is "closed"
1. During low speed operation (rotation), exhaust gas inlet
passage (P) is narrow (L1). (It is not fully closed, however.)
2. If the turbine inlet pressure increases while the nozzle ring
is closed, the turbine inflow speed increases, and accord-
ingly the turbocharger speed increases.

• Relief valve (3) inside case (1) operates to bypass the blowby gas and protect both KCCV ventilator and
the engine when filter (5) is blocked.
1. Blowby gas enters at valve (A). Large drops of oil mist (atomized engine oil) are removed from the blowby
gas when it flows through impactor (4) holes in filter (5).
2. Small oil mist is separated in filter (5).
3. Separated oil flows down in the filter to go through oil drain port (C) to the oil pan.
4. CDR valve operates by KVGT intake negative pressure to prevent generation of excessive crankcase neg-
ative pressure.
5. Blowby gas pressure (crankcase pressure) is detected by crankcase pressure sensor (2).
6. If the engine controller judges through detected value of crankcase pressure sensor (2) that the filter is

FUNCTION OF KDPF
A: Flow of exhaust gas
1: KDOC (oxidation catalyst)
2: KCSF
3: Seal (ceramic made)
4: Cell
5: Ceramics honeycomb
• KDPF purifies the exhaust gas by catching large amount of
chainlike soot or PM (Particulate Matter such as soot)
which is contained in the engine exhaust gas.
• KDOC (oxidation catalyst) (1) oxidizes NO (nitrogen mon-
oxide) contained in the exhaust gas into NO 2 (nitrogen di-
oxide), and regenerates (*1) KCSF(2).
• KCSF (2) captures soot.
• Accumulated soot in KCSF (2) in operation range where
the temperature of exhaust gas is relatively high state is
naturally oxidized and burnt away by the effect of KDOC
(oxidation catalyst) (1). (This is called “passive regenera-
tion”)
REMARK
“Passive regeneration” cannot be performed if the light
load operation and low temperature state of the exhaust
gas continue. Accumulated soot is gradually increased.
10-60 D155AXI-8
10 STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION COMPONENT PARTS OF ENGINE SYSTEM
• Engine controller always monitors 2 soot accumulation values and compares them. One is presumed soot
accumulation based on the engine operating conditions, and the other is the calculated soot accumulation
based on the signal from the differential pressure sensor which is attached to KCSF (2).
• If the amount of accumulated soot and the temperature of engine exhaust gas exceed the specified level,
engine controller performs “automatic regeneration” to burn (oxydize) the soot.
While performing automatic regeneration, the engine controller calculates the exhaust gas temperature at
KDOC inlet and exhaust gas volume, and controls the engine to raise the temperature of engine exhaust
gas. (This is called “exhaust gas temperature raise control”)
The temperature of engine exhaust gas at KDOC inlet is controlled by the fuel amount injected from the fuel
doser installed at the turbocharger outlet part,and exhaust gas volume is controlled by KVGT.
The engine controller enhances the oxidation power in KDOC (1) by raising the temperature of engine ex-
haust gas automatically, and improves combustion efficiency of soot captured in KCSF (2).
REMARK
When regeneration function on the machine monitor is disabled, or outside air temperature is extremely
low, or continuous light load operation is carried out, relatively low exhaust temperature continues. In such
case, “automatic regeneration” is not performed and the amount of soot accumulation is increased.
• If “automatic regeneration” is not performed due to the excess amount of accumulated soot in KCSF (2),
perform “manual stationary regeneration” to burn (oxydize) the soot and reduce the amount of soot inside
KCSF (2).
REMARK
Excessive amount of the soot interferes the flow of exhaust gas to worsen fuel consumption and engine
combustion state. It may lead to other failures.
If the amount of soot increases further, “manual stationary regeneration” cannot be performed safely. This
will result in a KDPF failure and replacement is unavoidable. Make sure to follow the procedures in the Op-
eration and Maintenance Manual when performing “manual stationary regeneration”

D155AXI-8 10-61
COMPONENT PARTS OF ENGINE SYSTEM 10 STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION
NOTICE
• For the procedure to start and stop the regeneration of KDPF, see the Operation and Maintenance
Manual for each machine.
• Always use ultra low-sulfur diesel fuel. If any fuel other than the specified one is used, it can cause a
failure in KDPF.
• Always use specified Komatsu genuine engine oil applicable to KDPF. If any oil other than the speci-
fied one is used, it can clog KDPF quickly, and that can increase fuel consumption and cause a fail-
ure in KDPF.
• Do not modify KDPF body and exhaust pipe. If modification is made, KDPF cannot operate normally
and may have trouble.
• Do not give strong impacts to KDPF by standing on it, dropping it, or hitting it, etc. KDPF has ceram-
ic parts in it, and they may be broken by a strong impact.
• Even when soot is not accumulated much, the engine controller may start “automatic regeneration”.
This is automatic regeneration to maintain the function of KDPF or urea SCR system normal, and is
not an abnormal operation. Automatic regeneration to maintain the function of urea SCR system nor-
mal or manual stationary regeneration takes approximately 1 hour.
• During the “automatic regeneration” and the “manual stationary regeneration”, KVGT operates auto-
matically and the engine sound changes. Also, the exhaust gas flow rate in KDPF changes, and ac-
cordingly the exhaust sound changes. These phenomena are not abnormal.
• During the “automatic regeneration” and the “manual stationary regeneration”, especially at low
temperature, white smoke may be discharged through the exhaust pipe outlet for a short time. This
phenomenon is not abnormal. Be sure to perform regeneration in a well-ventilated area, since car-
bon monoxide may be generated.
• During the “automatic regeneration” and the “manual stationary regeneration”, the exhaust pipe
may smell different from usual. This is not abnormal phenomenon.
• During the “automatic regeneration” and the “manual stationary regeneration”, the temperature of
the exhaust gas discharged from the exhaust pipe may increase above 650 °C. To prevent a fire,
check that there is no combustible around the exhaust pipe. Also, check that there is no person in
the blow-out direction of the exhaust gas and confirm the safety around the machine.
• KDPF has “KDPF dry operation” function to prevent excessive accumulation of unburnt fuel in KDPF
when operation is continued at relatively low temperature for long hours.
• This is a function that the engine controller increases the engine exhaust temperature automatically
and performs dry operation of KCSF when the set condition is satisfied. When the automatic dry op-
eration is insufficient for the treatment, manual stationary regeneration may be required.
• The standard temperature of KDPF is shown below.

1. The output pressure of EPC valve enters piston chamber (C) and pushes piston (3).
2. Piston (3) pushes spool (2) and moves to a position where it is balanced with the spring.
3. Land (PE) of the servo piston pressure passage is connected to pump discharged pressure passage (PH)
through the notch of spool (2), so the pump discharged pressure is transmitted to servo piston (6).
4. When rocker cam (5) is pushed up by servo piston (6), positional feedback is provided, and lever (1) moves
in the direction to compress spring (4).
5. When spool (2) is pushed back, the pump discharge circuit and servo piston circuit are disconnected.

10 STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION COMPONENT PARTS OF COOLING SYSTEM
6. The pressure in the servo piston chamber decreases, and rocker cam (5) returns in the direction of the
maximum swash plate angle.
7. These processes are repeated, and the swash plate is fixed to a position where EPC output pressure is
balanced with the force of spring (4).
8. When EPC output pressure increases, the swash plate angle decreases. When EPC output pressure de-
creases, the swash plate angle increases.

• One of the features of liquid crystal display is that there may be black spots (spots that do not light up) or
white spots (spots that stay lit) on the screen. When there are fewer than 10 black or white spots, this is not
a failure or a defect.
• The battery voltage may drop sharply when the engine is started, depending on the ambient temperature
and battery condition. In this case, the display may disappear for a while. This phenomenon is not abnormal.
• When the machine monitor is used continuously, blue bright spots may appear on the black background.
This phenomenon is not abnormal.
Since the background of the standard screen of the display is blue or white, blue bright spots do not become
a problem. (Since red, green, or blue lamps light up when the LCD displays white)

FEATURES OF CLSS
• Fine controllability not influenced by load
• Control performance that allows digging even under fine control operation condition
• Easy combined operation ensured by the flow dividing performance that is determined by the opening
areas of spools during combined operations
• Energy saving by variable discharge pump control
Composition of CLSS
• CLSS consists of variable displacement piston pump, control valves, and respective actuators.
• The pump consists of the main pump, fixed throttle valve, PC valve, and LS valve.
10-122 D155AXI-8
10 STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION CLSS
FUNCTION OF CLSS
Control of pump swash plate angle
The pump swash plate angle (pump discharged volume) is so
controlled that LS differential pressure (ΔPLS), which is the dif-
ferential pressure between pump discharge pressure (PP) and
control valve outlet LS pressure (PLS) (actuator load pressure),
is constant.
[LS differential pressure ( PLS) = Pump discharge pressure
(PP) - LS pressure (PLS)]
The pump swash plate angle shifts toward the maximum posi-
tion if LS differential pressure (ΔPLS) is lower than the set
pressure of the LS valve (when the actuator load pressure is
high). The pump swash plate angle shifts toward the mini-
mum position if LS differential pressure is higher than the set
pressure (when the actuator load pressure is low).
D155AXI-8 10-123
CLSS 10 STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION
• A pressure compensation valve is installed to the outlet port side of the control valve to balance the load.
• When actuators are operated in combined operations, the pressure difference (ΔP) between the upstream
(inlet port) and downstream (outlet port) of the spool of each valve are kept the same by the pressure com-
pensation valve, regardless the size of the load (pressure).
• The flow of oil from the pump is divided (compensated) in proportion to the areas of openings (S1) and (S2)
of each valve.

FUNCTION OF LS VALVE
• The LS (load sensing) valve detects the load of the actua-
tor and controls the pump discharged volume.
• This valve controls main pump discharged volume (Q) ac-
cording to differential pressure (ΔPLS) [= PP – PLS],
called the LS differential pressure (the difference between
main pump discharge pressure (PP) and control valve out-
let port pressure (PLS)).
• This valve receives pump discharge pressure (PP), pres-
sure (PLS) (called the LS pressure) coming from the con-
trol valve output.
• The relationship between LS differential pressure (ΔPLS)
[= (PP) - (PLS)], which is a differential pressure between
main pump discharge pressure (PP) and LS pressure (PLS) , and discharged volume (Q) is as shown in the
diagram.

OPERATE LS VALVE
When control valve is in NEUTRAL position
1. The LS valve is a 3-way selector valve, and LS pressure (PLS) on the inlet of the control valve is transmit-
ted to spring chamber (B), and pump discharged pressure (PP) is transmitted to port (H) of sleeve (8).
2. Magnitude of the force resulting from this LS pressure (PLS), force of spring (4) and the pump discharged
pressure (self pressure) (PP) determine the position of spool (6).
3. Before the engine is started, servo piston (10) is pushed to the right. (See the figure below.)
4. When the engine is started, if the control lever is in NEUTRAL position, LS (PLS) is 0 MPa {0 kg/cm2} . (It is
connected to the drain circuit through the control valve spool.)
5. Spool (6) is pushed to the right and port (C) and port (D) are connected.
6. Pump discharged pressure (PP) enters the large diameter piston side from port (K).
7. The same pump discharged pressure (PP) also enters port (J) on small diameter piston side.
D155AXI-8 10-133
COMPONENT PARTS OF HYDRAULIC SYSTEM 10 STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION
1. When the difference between pump discharge pressure (PP) and LS pressure (PLS), or LS differential
pressure ( PLS), decreases (for example, when the open area of the control valve increases and pump dis-
charge pressure (PP) decreases), the combined force of LS pressure (PLS) and force of spring (4) pushes
spool (6) to the left.
2. As spool (6) moves, port (D) is connected to port (E) and connected to PC valve.
3. PC valve is connected to the drain port, and the line between ports (D) and (K) is set to drain pressure (PT).
(The operation of PC valve is explained later.)
4. The pressure at the large piston diameter end of servo piston (10) becomes drain pressure (PT), and pump
discharged pressure (PP) is constantly transmitted to port (J) at the small piston diameter end. Accordingly,
10-134 D155AXI-8
10 STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION COMPONENT PARTS OF HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
servo piston (10) is pushed to the left, and moves the swash plate in the direction to make the discharged
volume larger.
Operation in direction to increase pump discharged volume
1. When servo piston (10) moves to the right (in the direction to reduce the discharged volume) and LS differ-
ential pressure ( PLS) increases (for example, when the open area of the control valve decreases and
pump discharge pressure (PP) increases), the force caused by pump discharge pressure (PP) pushes
spool (6) to the right.
2. As spool (6) moves, pump discharge pressure (PP) flows through port (C) to port (D), and then through port
(K) to the large diameter piston side.
3. Although pump discharge pressure (PP) is applied to port (J) on the small diameter piston side, servo pis-
ton (10) is pushed to the right by the area difference between the large diameter piston side and small di-
ameter piston side of servo piston (10). As the result, the swash plate angle becomes smaller.
D155AXI-8 10-135
COMPONENT PARTS OF HYDRAULIC SYSTEM 10 STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION
1. The pressure receiving area on the large diameter piston side is set as (A1), that on the small diameter
piston side as (A0), and the pressure entering the large diameter piston side as (PEN).
2. When the force exerted by pump discharged pressure (PP) of the LS valve is balanced with the combined
force exerted by LS pressure (PLS) and spring (4), and the relation becomes (A0) x (PP) = (A1) x (PEN),
servo piston (10) stops in that position.
3. The swash plate of the pump is held at the intermediate position. [The swash plate stops at a position
where the openings from port (D) to port (E) and from port (C) to port (D) of spool (6) are approximately
equal.]
4. At this point, the relationship between the both pressure receiving areas of servo piston (10) is (A0):
(A1)=3:5, so the pressure applied to the both piston ends when it is balanced becomes (PP):(PEN)≒5:3.
5. The force of spring (4) is adjusted so that spool (6) can be balanced at the specified center when (PP) -
(PLS) = 1.96 MPa {20 kg/cm2} .

2. Spool (5) is pushed to the left by spring (4).
3. Port (P) is closed, and the pressurized oil from the self-
pressure reducing valve does not flow to PC valve.
4. The pressurized oil from PC valve is drained to the tank

When main spool (1) is at “HOLD” position, it drains the excess oil discharged by the pump, and prevents the
pressure from being formed in the circuit from rising.
D155AXI-8 10-157
COMPONENT PARTS OF HYDRAULIC SYSTEM 10 STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION
1. When main spool (1) is at “HOLD” position, the pump discharge pressure passes from chamber (A) through
orifice (4) to chamber (D). Chambers (C) and (C') are connected to the drain circuit.
2. When pressurized oil is supplied from the pump, the pressure in chamber (D) increases, and main spool (1)
is pushed to the right by the received pressure which is determined by the cross-sectional area of piston (3)
receiving the pressure.
3. When this received pressure becomes larger than the set force of spring (2), main spool (1) moves to the
right and connects chambers (A) and (B), so the oil from the pump is drained.
4. Therefore, main spool (1) is balanced at a position that matches the supply of oil from the pump.
5. Actually, the amount of oil supplied from the pump is small, so the pressure in the circuit is almost the same
as the set force of spring (2).
10-158 D155AXI-8
10 STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION COMPONENT PARTS OF HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
1. When steering spool (1) is at “HOLD” position, the pump discharged pressure is transmitted from chamber
(A) of the steering priority valve through the notch in spool (3) of the steering priority valve, and passes
through chamber (B) to chamber (C) of steering spool.
2. Oil in chamber (G) of the steering priority valve is drained through chamber (H) to chamber (F) of the steer-
ing spool.
3. Since the pump discharged pressure is acting on the left end of spool (3) of the steering priority valve, it
compresses spring (4) and moves to the right to the maximum stroke position.

1. When blade lift spool (1) is at “HOLD” position, the pump discharged pressure (unload pressure) is trans-
mitted to chambers (D) and (D').
2. The pressure is not formed in chambers (H) and (H'), so pressure compensation valve spool (3) and steer-
ing priority valve spool (4) are pressed to the right.
10-162 D155AXI-8
10 STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION COMPONENT PARTS OF HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
3. The pump discharged pressure is transmitted to chamber (C) of the pressure compensation valve through
chambers (A) and (B) of steering priority valve spool (4), and is further transmitted through chambers (D)
and (E) to chamber (F) of the blade lift spool.
4. In the same way as described in “Steering valve”, the position of pressure compensation valve spool (3) is
determined to match the opening of blade lift spool (1), and the oil flow is determined so that pressure loss
(ΔPLS) of the control valve becomes equal to the control differential pressure (ΔPLS') of the pump LS
valve.

Meter-out control when blade moves down under its own weight (work equip-
ment lever in “LOWER”)
1. When the blade moves down under its own weight, the oil flow of return oil from blade lift cylinder is control-
led by the area of the opening of blade lift spool (1).
10-164 D155AXI-8
10 STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION COMPONENT PARTS OF HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
2. When the port of blade lift spool (1) is opened by pilot pressure (PI), because of the weight of the blade, the
pressurized oil from the cylinder head side passes through ports (A), (B), (C) and (D), and is drained to the
tank.
3. The flow of return oil from the blade lift cylinder is throttled by the area of opening between ports (A) and (B)
of the blade lift spool, so the lowering speed is controlled.
4. The pressurized oil flowing from the blade lift cylinder head end passes from the drain circuit through suc-
tion valve (2) and is supplied to the bottom end of the blade lift cylinder.
5. The oil discharged from the pump passes through ports (A'), (B'), (C'), (D') and (E'), and is supplied to the
blade lift cylinder bottom.

Meter-out control when blade moves down under its own weight (work equip-

When the blade lift valve is at “FLOAT”, the cylinder port and drain port are interconnected to put the circuit in a
no-load condition.
10-166 D155AXI-8
10 STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION COMPONENT PARTS OF HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
1. When the blade lift valve is in “FLOAT” condition, the pump circuit and cylinder ports (A3) and (B3) are dis-
connected so that the other control valves can be operated.
2. When the work equipment control lever is set at “LOWER” position and “FLOAT” button is pressed, output
pressure (PA3) of the EPC valve becomes 3.4 MPa {35 kg/cm2} or more and blade lift spool (1) is moved to
the maximum stroke position.
3. Ports (A3) and (B3) and LS circuit (O) are all interconnected to the drain circuit, so there is no load on the
blade lift cylinder.
4. If the blade lift cylinder is driven by the weight of the blade, the pressurized oil entering from port (A3) flows
to ports (A), (B), (B') and (A'), while the rest of the pressurized oil flows through ports (C) and (D), and is
drained.
5. The oil flow is throttled by the area of opening of blade lift spool (1) between ports (A) and (B) to control the
cylinder speed.
6. The pump circuit chamber (E) and ports (A3) and (B3) are disconnected but pump discharged pressure (P)
is formed at chamber (E), so it is possible to carry out combined operations with other control valves.

• ΔLS = ΔP1 + ΔP2 = Differential pressure between ports (M) and (N) = 2.0 MPa {20 kg/cm2}
This valve sets the maximum pressure when HSS motor (7) is operated.
1. If steering spool (1) is moved and the pressure of HSS motor (7) becomes higher, the poppet of steering LS
relief valve (5) will start to open and oil is drained from LS circuit (O). [Ports (E), (F), (G), (J), (K), and (L)]
2. As a result, there will be a drop in pressure in LS passage (O) starting from LS sensing hole (F), and ΔP2
will become larger.
3. For the same reason, if the pressure in chambers (H) and (I) drops, steering priority valve spool (2) will
push against spring (3) and move to the right, and will make the opening between chambers (B) and (C)
smaller, so the flow to chambers (B) and (C) will be throttled and ΔP4 will become larger.
4. Because of the pump swash plate control, the system circuit is balanced at a circuit pressure which makes
the pressure loss generated by the flow at steering LS relief valve (5), ΔP1 + ΔP2, equal to LS differential
pressure (ΔLS).
5. The pump LS valve detects the differential pressure generated by steering LS relief valve (5), and moves
the pump swash plate angle from the maximum to the minimum position. The pump swash plate is bal-
anced at a position where the LS differential pressure is 2.0 MPa {20 kg/cm2} .
6. When the pump is at the minimum swash plate angle (minimum oil flow), if the minimum oil flow is greater
than the [LS relief oil flow + leakage at any part], the pressure is confined in the pump circuit [between the
pump and chambers (A) and (B)], so the LS differential pressure rises.
7. If this differential pressure goes above the set pressure for unload valve (4), the unload valve is actuated to
relieve the excess oil flow and balance the circuit.

equipment LS relief valve (5) will start to open and pressurized oil will be drained from LS circuit (O). [Ports
(E), (F), (G), (J), (K) and (L)]
2. As a result, there will be a drop in pressure in LS passage (O) starting from LS sensing hole (F), and ΔP2
will become larger.
3. For the same reason, if the pressure in chambers (H) and (I) drops, pressure compensation valve spool (2)
will push against spring (3) and move to the right, and will make the opening between chambers (B) and (C)
smaller, so the flow to chambers (B) and (C) will be throttled and ΔP4 will become larger.
4. Because of the pump swash plate control, the system circuit is balanced at a circuit pressure which makes
the pressure loss generated by the flow at work equipment LS relief valve (5), ΔP1 + ΔP2, equal to LS dif-
ferential pressure (ΔLS).
5. The pump LS valve detects the differential pressure generated by work equipment LS relief valve (5), and
moves the pump swash plate angle from the maximum to the minimum position. The pump swash plate is
balanced at a position where the LS differential pressure is 2.0 MPa {20 kg/cm2} .
6. When the pump is at the minimum swash plate angle (minimum oil flow), if the minimum oil flow is greater
than the (LS relief oil flow + leakage at any part), the pressure is confined in the pump circuit [between the
pump and chambers (A) and (B)], so the LS differential pressure rises.
7. If this differential pressure goes above the set pressure for unload valve (4), the unload valve is actuated to
relieve the excess oil flow and balance the circuit.

• When steering spool (1) and blade tilt spool (2) are relieved at the same time, the pump discharged pres-
sure is separated by pressure compensation valve spool (3) in the blade tilt valve, and the port pressure is
maintained at a constant value.
1. If HSS motor (6) stalls, the load pressure increases and steering valve LS relief valve (4) operates to cut off
the system. (For details, see “At relief, Steering valve”.)
2. The pump discharged pressure (P) is maintained at 38.2 MPa {390 kg/cm2} at this time, and this is trans-
mitted to chamber (G) of the blade tilt valve.
3. When blade tilt spool (2) is operated and the load on the blade tilt valve is greater, LS relief valve (5) for
blade tilt valve is actuated, and drain oil flow (Q1) flows to LS circuit (O).
4. A differential pressure is generated on the right and left sides of pressure compensation valve spool (3) by
LS throttle (M) of blade tilt spool (2), and it moves the full stroke to the right.
5. The opening between chambers (D) and (E) is throttled to the minimum size (pump pressure separated).
6. Oil flow (Q1) is determined by pump discharged pressure (P) and the total pressure loss Δ (P - LSO) of
ports (C), (D), (E), (F), (G), (I), (J) and (K).
7. Furthermore, pressure (P2) [the pressure in chamber (H)] becomes the total (LSO + ΔPO) of the set pres-
sure of work equipment LS relief valve (5) and the circuit pressure loss of ports (H), (I), (J) and (K).

It consists of a parallel circuit, so when combined operations are carried out, the oil flow is divided correspond-
ing to the opening area of each spool.
1. When blade tilt spool (1) and blade lift spool (2) are at the “HOLD” position or are at “OPERATE”, steering
priority valve (3) is pressed to the right, and the area of the opening to the downstream section is at its max-
imum.
10-180 D155AXI-8

2. Blade tilt spool (1) and blade lift spool (2) are actuated by EPC valve output pressures (PA2) and (PB3),
and each of them is balanced at a position that matches its own EPC valve output pressure.
When pressure (P2) pressure (P3)
Blade lift valve load pressure (P3) is transmitted to the pump LS valve through LS circuit (O).
When pump swash plate does not reach maximum angle
• When the maximum flow of oil from the pump is greater than the sum of the oil flow demanded by the blade
tilt valve and blade lift valve, an oil flow that matches the opening of the spool flows to both of the blade tilt
valve and blade lift valve.
When pump swash plate is at maximum angle
• When the maximum flow of oil from the pump is smaller than the sum of the oil flow demanded by the blade
tilt valve and blade lift valve, the flow of oil to the blade tilt valve and blade lift valve is divided corresponding
to differential pressure (PO) - (P2) and differential pressure (PO) - (P3).
• In other words, more oil flows to (P2) where the load is small.
REMARK
When the blade is raised and the blade tilt valve and blade lift valve are moved to “RAISE” position at the same
time, the blade tilt valve load pressure is smaller than the blade lift valve load pressure, so the flow of oil to the
blade tilt valve is given priority. In addition, the oil flow demanded by the blade tilt valve is smaller, so the condi-
tion is just as if priority was given to the oil flow for the blade tilt valve.
When pressure (P2) = pressure (P3)
(P) – (P2) ≒ (P) – (P3), so an oil flow proportional to the size of the spool opening of each spool is distributed.

1. This improves the response of the system including the pressure compensation valve and pump swash
plate by sending the pilot pressure (EPC valve source pressure) to the LS circuit, and compensating the
rise of the LS circuit pressure.
10-182 D155AXI-8
10 STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION COMPONENT PARTS OF HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
2. When blade lift valve spool (1) is at “HOLD” position, pilot pressure (P1) (source pressure of PPC valve) is
sent through preset check valve (3) to chamber (F) of the pressure compensation valve. This pressure is
called preset pressure (P2).
3. Unload pressure (P) is transmitted to chamber (B), but (P1) + (F0) > (P) [F0: load of spring (4)], so pressure
compensation spool (2) moves to the left and the size of the opening between chambers (A) and (B) be-
comes the maximum.
4. When blade lift spool (1) is switched, unload pressure (P) flows immediately through chambers (A), (B), (C),
(D) and (E) to the blade lift cylinder, so the pressure at the port starts to rise and the time lag becomes
smaller.
5. At the same time, preset pressure (P2) is transmitted to LS circuit (O), and the pressure in the LS circuit
rises.
6. Unload valve (7) closes, and oil flows further to the pump LS valve to improve the response of the pump
swash plate angle. This makes it possible to reduce the response time for giving the necessary oil flow.

10 STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OPERATE POWER TRAIN SYSTEM
• The power generated by the engine is transmitted from universal joint (1) to torque converter (2) after its
torsional vibrations have been reduced with damper.
• The power from the engine is transmitted through the oil by torque converter (2) to the transmission input
shaft (turbine shaft) corresponding with the change in load.
• Transmission (3) uses a combination of planetary gear mechanisms and hydraulic clutches to reduce the
speed and shift the gears (3 forward speeds and 3 reverse speeds). corresponding to the change in load, 2
clutches are selected and engaged to transmit the power from the bevel pinion at the rear end of the trans-
mission to bevel gear fixed to the bevel gear shaft.
• The power transmitted to the bevel gear shaft is then further transmitted to HSS (Hydrostatic Steering Sys-
tem) unit (4).
Work equipment and HSS pump (6) is driven by PTO (5), and the oil discharged from it drives HSS motor
(7).
The rotation of the pair of the HSS gears on the right and left is controlled by HSS motor (7). The turning
direction is controlled by generating a difference in speed on the right and left.
It is also possible to use the HSS mechanism to reverse the rotation to the right and left to perform the
counter-rotation turn.
• Brake (8)of HSS is used for braking the machine. Brake (8) is a wet, multiple disc clutch and spring boosted
type.
The power output from brake (8) is transmitted to final drive (9).

10 STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION TRANSMISSION, STEERING, AND BRAKE CONTROL
• The transmission and steering are controlled with joystick (steering, directional, and gear shift lever) (PCCS
lever) (5).
• The machine has a safety mechanism for starting engine. If parking brake lever (1) is not in LOCK position,
parking lock switch (9) does not operate and engine cannot be started.
• While parking brake lever (1) is in LOCK position, power train controller (4) does not send the signal of turn-
ing to the EPC valve of the control valve.
• Joystick (steering, directional and gear shift lever) (PCCS lever) (3) sends electric signals to power train
controller (4). Upon receiving these electric signals, power train controller (4) sends signals to EPC valve of
the control valve to change the discharge of the pump and control the HSS motor.
• When the operator depresses brake pedal (14), rod (12) operates potentiometer (15) to send the electric
signal to power train controller (4). Upon receiving this signal, power train controller (4) sends the signal to
the brake control valve to apply the brake.
• When brake pedal (14) moves near the stroke end, limit switch (13) turns ON and operates the brake.

• When the torque converter is locked up, the oil is still supplied to the torque converter.
Accordingly, the oil flowing from pump (15) through turbine (11) to stator (14) is obstructed by the stator
blades and cannot flow in any determined direction. As a result, this oil resists the rotation of the pump and
turbine (it is stirred).
• To reduce the rotating resistance of pump (15) and turbine (11), the stator clutch is disengaged simultane-
ously with lockup of the torque converter so that stator (14) can rotate freely.
• As stator (14) is dragged and turned by pump (15) and turbine (11), the oil returns from the turbine to the
pump smoothly to reduce resistance.
• Conditions for lockup mode and torque converter mode

• The transmission is a “forward 3-speed and reverse 3-speed” transmission which consists of the planetary
gear mechanism and the disc clutches.
• The transmission selects a single rotating direction and a single speed range by fixing the planetary gear
mechanism and 2 clutches out of 5 pairs of disc clutches hydraulically by using ECMV.
• The transmission transfers the power received by transmission input shaft (5) to output shaft (18) by chang-
ing the gear speed (forward 1st-3rd or reverse 1st-3rd) with any combination of the forward or reverse
clutch, and one of 3 speed clutches.

• The brake employs the forced lubrication system, in which oil from the steering lubrication pump and scav-
enging pump flows to case (7) and brake drum (13) through the passage in the steering case, and further
flows to brake discs (12) and brake plates (11).
• When the engine is stopped, the steering brake is "applied" since the back pressure acting on the brake
piston (10) lowers, even the brake pedal is not depressed. However, the brake is "released" as the oil pres-
sure in the circuit goes up when the engine restarts, so the parking brake lever must be set to the LOCK
position.
• The brake consists of brake hub (14) coupled with carrier (24), brake discs (12) meshed with the brake hub,
brake drum (13), brake plates (11) whose periphery is coupled with brake drum (13), brake piston (10) and
brake spring (9) which presses brake discs and brake plates together, and cylinder (8), case (7), and output
shaft (6) which support those parts.
Brake drum (13) and case (7) are fixed to the steering case.
Output shaft (6) is connected to brake hub (14) by spline and held by spacer (31) in the axial direction.

1. When the joystick (steering, directional and gear shift lever (PCCS lever)) is in “NEUTRAL” position and the
brake pedal is “released”, proportional solenoid (1) of the brake ECMV is energized and pushes ball (2) to
the left and closes the sealing part.
2. The oil in port (P) of the brake ECMV flows in port (B) and pushes valve (3) to the left to connect port (P) to
port (A) and disconnect port (B) from port (DR). At this time, the oil flows in the port behind the brake piston.
As the oil pressure increases, the brake piston is pushed to the left to compress the brake spring, then the
brake is “released”.
3. When the parking brake lever is set in the “FREE” position, the parking brake solenoid valve is de-ener-
gized. Accordingly, the pilot pressure of brake ECMV port (S) remains.
Operation when PCCS lever is in “NEUTRAL” position, brake pedal is “de-
pressed”, and parking brake lever is in “FREE” position
(Machine “stopped”, R.H. and L.H. brakes “applied”, parking brake “released”)
1. When the brake pedal is depressed, proportional solenoids (1) of L.H. and R.H. brake ECMV are de-ener-
gized to open the sealing part of ball (2).
2. The controller outputs the command current to proportional solenoids (1) corresponding to the brake pedal
stroke.
3. Proportional solenoid (1) generates the propulsion force in proportion to the command current. This propul-
sion force is balanced with the sum of the propulsion force generated by the oil pressure in the back pres-
sure port of the brake piston and the tension of spring (4), then the brake pressure is set up to adjust the
brake force.

3. The oil flown into the brake piston back pressure port is drained through the brake ECMV.
4. The oil pressure in the port behind the brake piston continues to decrease, then the brake is fully “applied”
and kept applied.
5. When the engine is restarted, as ports (P) and (T) are still opened, the brake is kept “applied”.
6. When the parking brake lever is in “FREE” position, the parking brake lever switch is turned “OFF” and coil
(1) of the parking brake solenoid valve is de-energized.
7. Spool (3) is moved to the left, and closes ports (P) and (T) to maintain the pilot pressure of the L.H. and

• The work equipment control employs an EPC method which uses an EPC valve to move each control valve
spool.
• Work equipment lock lever (1) is interconnected with work equipment lock switch (2). When it is at the
“FREE” position, the work equipment lock valve operates to open the work equipment control circuit.

1. Spring (6) pushes poppet (5) to the seat, and the circuit between ports (PR) and (T) is closed.
2. Spring (7) pushes spool (8) to the left side, and the ports (P1) and (PR) are connected to each other.
3. Spring (3) pushes valve (2) up, and ports (P1) and (P2) are disconnected from each other.
D155AXI-8 10-289
COMPONENT PARTS OF WORK EQUIPMENT SYSTEM 10 STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION
When load pressure (P2) is lower than output pressure (PR) of self-pressure re-
ducing valve
1. Spring (3) and the pressure (PR) [0 MPa {0 kg/cm2} when the engine is stopped] push valve (2) in the di-
rection to disconnect ports (P1) and (P2) from each other. When the hydraulic oil enters port (P1), the ex-
pression [pressure (P1) ≒ force of spring (3) + (area d x pressure (PR))] holds, and the self pressure reduc-
ing valve adjusts the opening between ports (P1) and (P2) so that pressure (P1) is maintained higher than
pressure (PR).
2. When pressure (PR) rises above the set pressure, poppet (5) opens and hydraulic oil flows from port (PR),
through hole (a) in spool (8) and the opening of poppet (5) to the tank port (T).
3. Therefore, differential pressure is developed across hole (a) in spool (8), and it moves spool (8) to discon-
nect ports (P1) and(PR) from each other. Thus, this valve uses the area of the opening to regulate pressure
(P1) to a certain level [set pressure] and supplies it as pressure (PR).
10-290 D155AXI-8
10 STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION COMPONENT PARTS OF WORK EQUIPMENT SYSTEM
1. When load pressure (P2) rises due to digging or other operations, pump discharged volume increases and
pressure (P1) rises. When the expression [Force exerted by pressure (P1) > Force of spring (3) + Force
(area (d) x pressure (PR))] holds, and valve (2) moves downward to its stroke end. As a result, the opening
between the ports (P1) and (P2) increases, the passage resistance becomes smaller to reduce engine
horsepower loss.
2. When pressure (PR) rises above the set pressure, poppet (5) opens and hydraulic oil flows from port (PR),
through hole (a) in spool (8) and the opening of poppet (5) to the tank port (T).
3. Therefore, differential pressure is developed across hole (a) in spool (8), and it moves spool (8) to discon-
nect ports (P1) and(PR) from each other. Thus, this valve uses the area of the opening to regulate pressure
(P1) to a certain level [set pressure] and supplies it as pressure (PR).
D155AXI-8 10-291
COMPONENT PARTS OF WORK EQUIPMENT SYSTEM 10 STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION
When pressure (PR) of the self-pressure reducing valve rises abnormally high, ball (10) separates from the seat
against the spring (9) to allow the oil to flow from port (PR) to port (T) so as to reduce the pressure (PR). As a
result, the equipment (EPC valve, etc.), to which the oil pressure is supplied, is protected from the abnormal
high pressure.

10 STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION COMPONENT PARTS OF WORK EQUIPMENT SYSTEM
• When the blade control lever is set in “LOWER” position, the QDV prevents a vacuum on the cylinder bot-
tom side and shortens time lag before starting digging.
• The blade lowering speed is mostly decided by the pump discharged volume. However, it can be increased
by installing the quick drop valve.
• Since the QDV electronically controls the operation of the PCCS lever, the controller and EPC valve (QDV
is built-in), it is possible to select ON or OFF.
1. Since command current (X) from the controller to EPC valve is 0 A, main spool (1) is not switched.
2. The circuits between port (VH) and port (PH), between port (VB) and port (PB), are shut off.
3. The pressure oil of the lift cylinder head flows from port (VH) to tank (T) through the control valve.
D155AXI-8 10-297
COMPONENT PARTS OF WORK EQUIPMENT SYSTEM 10 STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION
QDV mode: ON
1. 1,000 mA of command current (X) flows from the controller to EPC valve and the pilot pressure from the
EPC valve is transmitted to chamber (a) at the main spool.
2. Main spool (1) moves to the right and the circuits between port (VH) and port (PH)/port (VB) and port (PB),
get into circulating condition.
3. Most of the pressurized oil which has been flowing from port (PH) to port (VH), circulates and flows to port
(PB).
4. The pressurized oil which has been flowing to port (PB) merges with the pressure oil from port (VB) and
flows into the lift cylinder bottom.
5. The blade lowering speed is increased by the quantity of oil flowing into the lift cylinder bottom.
6. Thus, vacuum on the lift cylinder bottom is prevented.
10-298 D155AXI-8
10 STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION COMPONENT PARTS OF WORK EQUIPMENT SYSTEM
• QDV mode: ON
1. If the blade is thrust against the ground under the circulating condition of blade lowering, the lift cylinder
bottom pressure rises.
2. When the lift cylinder bottom pressure becomes 3.43 MPa {35 kg/cm2} or more, selector valve spool (2)
moves to the left.
3. The pilot pressure from the EPC valve is blocked and pressure chamber (a) of main spool (1) is connected
to drain circuit (TS).
4. Main spool (1) moves to the left by the force of spring (3).
5. The lift cylinder bottom is connected to the circuit between port (PB) and port (VB), thus circuit becomes no
circulating condition (oil cannot flow from head to bottom) and blade can thrust against ground.
PISTON VALVE
FUNCTION OF PISTON VALVE FOR BLADE LIFT CYLINDER
The piston valve is installed on the piston in the blade lift cylinder. When the piston reaches its stroke end, the
valve releases the oil from the hydraulic pump to reduce the oil pressure being exerted on the piston.
D155AXI-8 10-299
COMPONENT PARTS OF WORK EQUIPMENT SYSTEM 10 STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION
In addition the piston valve relieves the shock which occurs when the piston comes into contact with the cylinder
head or the bottom and serves to reduce the subsequent surge pressure in the cylinder by letting the oil escape
from the cylinder before the piston reaches its stroke end.

COMPONENT PARTS OF ICT SYSTEM 10 STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION
• If the slope angle of the ground before performing the calibration is (θ), and the difference of the angle be-
tween the machine and IMU sensor (1) is (θi), the value of “Blade slope” before calibration is the combined
value of roll angle measured by IMU sensor (1) and blade tilt angle. If the blade tilt angle is (θt), “Blade
slope” display is the following formula at posture (Fig. A).
Measured value of roll angle (a) = θ + θt + θi
• The value of “Blade slope” will be the following formula at posture (Fig. B) in which the machine is placed at
the same posture as (A) but the machine direction is turned 180 °.
Measured value of roll angle (c) = θ + θt + θi
• By adjusting blade tilt angle to 0.0 ° at step 5 of TESTING AND ADJUSTING, "CALIBRATION OF IMU
SENSOR", "Calibration of roll angle and pitch angle", the formula becomes θt = 0.0. So, actual machine
angle (= adjustment value of roll angle) at posture (Fig. B) can be obtained with the following formula.
Adjustment value of roll angle = {Measured value of roll angle (c) - Measured value of roll angle (a)} / 2 =
{(θ + θi) - (-θ + θi)} / 2 = θ
• The inclination of the IMU sensor in rightward and leftward directions can be corrected by inputting the ad-
justment value of roll angle to the control box.
10-324 D155AXI-8
10 STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION COMPONENT PARTS OF ICT SYSTEM
• If slope angle of the ground for calibration is (θ), and angle difference of the machine and IMU sensor (1) is
(θi), the value of “Mainfall slope” before calibration is equal to the measured value of pitch angle of IMU
sensor (1). So, value of “Mainfall slope” at posture (Fig. A) is the following formula.
Measured value of pitch angle (b) = -θ + θi
• The value of “Mainfall slope” will be the following formula at posture (Fig. B) in which the machine is placed
at the same posture as (A) but the machine direction is turned 180 °.
Measured value of pitch angle (d) = θ + θi
• As mentioned above, actual machine angle (= pitch angle adjustment value) at posture (Fig. B) can be ob-
tained with the following formula.
Adjustment value of pitch angle = {Measured value of pitch angle (d) - measured value of pitch angle (b)} /2
= {(θ + θi) - (-θ + θi)} / 2 = θ
• The inclination of the IMU sensor in forward and backward directions can be corrected by inputting the ad-
justment value of pitch angle to the control box.
