Sidewalls~ HANDLING THE TIRES PRECAUTIONS WHEN DRIVING MACHINE When the machine travels at high speed for a long distance, the tires become extremely hot. This ‘causes early wear of the tires, so it should be avoided as far as possible. If the machine must be driven for a long distance, take the following precautions. ‘© Follow the regulations related to this machine, and drive carefully © The most suitable tire pressure, travel speed, or tire type differ ac- cording to the condition of the travel surface. Contact your Komatsu distributor or tire dealer for information, saps The following is a guide to suita- ble tire pressures and speeds when traveling on a paved sur- face with standard tires. Tire pressure: 2.8 kg/em* Speed: 25 1030 km/h (16 to 18 MPH) Check the tire pressure before starting, when the tire is cool. After traveling for 1 hour, stop for 30 minutes. Check the tires and other parts for damage; also check the oil and coolant levels. Always travel with the bucket empty, Never put calcium chloride or dry bollast in the tires when traveling TIRE PRESSURE Measure the tire pressure before starting operations, when the tires are cool. If the inflation pressure is too low, it causes overload on the tires; if the inflation pressure is too high, the tire may be cut or may burst under shock. Therefore adjust the inflation pressure to the values in ‘the following table.

Check also for abnor- mal wear. % Operating costs can be reduced ‘and tire life increased by keeping the operating area in good condi- tion and free from fallen rocks. = 40 - TOWING THE MACHINE This machine must not be towed except in emergencies. When towing the machine, take the follow- ing precautions. Ait there is a faiture in the brake line, the brakes cannot be used, s0 be extremely careful when towing. TOWING When engine can be used. © Always keep the engine running when towing the machine, so that the steering and braking can be used, are TOWING When engine cannot be used. @ No lubrication oil flows in the transmission, so disconnect the front and rear drive shafts before ‘moving the machine. ‘© The steering cannot be used, so disconnect the steering cylinder and steering linkage. ‘* The machine should be towed only to the nearest place for in- spection and maintenance.

Where no permanent antifreeze is available, an ethylene glycol an- tifreeze without corrosion inhibi- tor may be used only for the cold season. In this case, coolant must be changed two times a year (at the beginning and at the fend of the cold season) Do not mix an antifreeze with one of different brand. Absolutely avoid using any water leak preventing agent irrespective of whether it is used indepen- dently or mixed with an antifreeze, Battery ‘As ambient temperature drops, battery capacity will drop, and electrolyte may sometimes freeze if battery charge is low.

Time and money spent for scheduled periodic mainte- ‘nance will be amply compensated by prolonged machine operation and re- duced operating cost. All hourly figures given in the following descriptions are based on service meter readings. In practice, however, itis recommended to rearrange all of them into units of days, weeks and months to make the maintenance schedule more convenient. Under rough job site or operating conditions, itis necessary to somewhat shorten the maintenance intervals stated in this manual. -4a7— PERIODIC MAINTENANCE BLEEDING AIR FROM CIRCUIT BLEEDING AIR FROM CIRCUIT LEEDING AIR FROM HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT « After replacing oil iter element or strainer, bleed the air from the circuit. ‘© To bleed the air from the hydrau- lic cylinders or hydraulic piping, dos follows 1) Run the engine at low idling ‘and operate each hydraulic cylinder (steering, dump, lift) 4 to 5 times, stopping 100 mm from stroke end. 2) Next, operate each cylinder 3 to 4 times to the end of its stroke, then stop the engine and loosen the air bleed plug of the hydraulic tank to blood the ar. 3) Next, start the engine at high idling and repeat Step 2) to bleed the air.

Those parts, as listed on the right, which are closely connected with safety, must be re- placed periodically so that the highest safety standard can be maintained. ‘These parts with the passage of time have a great tendency to deteriorate in quality, and to wear ratter soar. Furthermore, their defective condition is difficult to detect during periodical maintenance. These parts must, therefore, be replaced with new ones after a pre- determined service period even though there is no ap- parent abnormality Wt goes without saying that if any abnormality should be found, these parts must be replaced or repaired even before the predetermined period expires. ‘The periodical replacement is completely different from the replacement due to the claim against the guarantee by the manufacturer, so they must be treat- ed separately, PERIODICAL REPLACEMENT OF SAFETY PARTS PERIODICAL REPLACEMENT OF SAFETY PARTS Safety pars for Replacement interval | Remarks Brake hose Every year Piston and packing oF svery year PRICE wi 2 | master evinder Every yoor repair kt Packing seals, O-rings of lever, 2 yeara 3 | steorng yinder Fro 4. | Runbor hose for stering cylinder very 2 years © | Fuetnose every 2 years =49- MAINTENANCE TABLE MAINTENANCE TABLE Ne. rem SERVICE No. Trem SERVICE [PAGE CHECK BEFORE STARTING © | Beckup buzzer Crwck fonction | 26 | Welk-sround check - 23 e | Electrical wiring Check 26 | Coolant Checkandsuppy | 22g | Water separator Cheek [2s | Engine oil pon Cheek andsuppiy | 24 | | 4 | Fost sonk Check andsuppiy | 24 EVERY 50 HOURS SERVICE : © | Dust indicator check 25a | Fuct tank ‘[ bginneerer | sa 7 [eeteorane coccenaupsy [2 0 | Te Cie TT | oy 3 | Parking broke | creck tuneton | 28 | Foor brake creck finetion | 26 EVERY 100 HOURS SERVICE 7 | Hom Creek function | 28 | Luoreting _ 5 1 [tomes (Cheek function 26 Bucketpin Lubricate 2p0ints | 55 + | Rearview miror Cneck 2 2 | Buekerlink in Lubriate2 pein | 65 {| exmavst eas and cofor Che 26 3 | Assraxle pivot pin brea 2 pointe | 66 mm | nstument here 2b | Hvarauictank =| Gheckandsuppiy | 66 1 | steering west [ eneek tay 26 | ~50- wos MAINTENANCE TABLE No. rem SERVICE Pace No, rem seavice [race INITIAL 250 HOURS SERVICE EVERY 500 HOURS SERVICE a | Fuel iter Repioce carridse | 87 _@ | Lubricating By | Trenton o ter Replace cement | 87 4 | Centerdrveshattapine | Lubricate pone | 63 € | Enineoltpan anainer | Seaneesland | 57-2 | Canterningo pin Lubricate points | 63 “a | naive vate clewonce Check arcade | 67 | Fuel fier | Replace cartiage | 63 T ¢ | Transmission oil filter Replace element 64 EVERY 250 HOURS SERVICE [ | 2 | Lubricating | 7 | 4 | Titov pin Lubricate 1 point | 58 EVERY 1000 HOURS SERVICE 2 | Dump cylinder pin Lubricate 2 points 7 s | Lubricating 65 Lit eytinge pn Lbriate@ pone | 88 Front driveshaft Lubricate 2 pointe | 65 To fue iter When float (2) is at or above red line (1), drain the water according to the following procedure: 1.
