10. PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
A proper lubrication and maintenance serves to preserve trouble-free operation and prolong machine
life. The time and money spent for scheduling a periodic maintenance will be fully rewarded by
savings on smooth operation and operating cost.
All service hour figures given in this manual are based on the readings of Running Hour Meter.
However, in practice, it is recommended to rearrange all of these figures into unit of days, weeks and
months to make the maintenance schedule more easy to follow.
Under rough job site or operating condition, it is necessary to shorten the maintenance interval as
stated in this manual.
Even a simple maintenance procedure can cause injury if not carried out carefully. Observe the
following safety rules closely and develop a safe working habit.

catch fire easily.
Beware of harmful exhaust gas !
To operate engine indoor, a proper ventilation is required.
Beware of flammable materials !
A burning cigarette or match is prohibited.
Be prepared for emergency !
Know in advance whom to inform and what to do in case of fire and other accidents. Know
location and usage of fire extinguishers and first-aid kits.
When working with a partner, keep him informed of what you are doing !
When working on a generator, always follow your supervisor's instructions.
When servicing a generator with the engine running, work in pair !
If the generator must be serviced while the engine is running, one person should watch the
meters and gauges of the generator while the other person carries out the maintenance.
Stop the engine while refueling !
Before cleaning or refueling the generator, always stop the engine. When adding oil or fuel,
do not let the oil or fuel overflow.
Keep the alternator free from water and oil !
If water, steam or oil sticks to the alternator, it can cause an electrical leakage or poor
generation of power. If the alternator is wet, ask a specialist to measure insulation resistance
value.
Never use an open flame for lighting !
Never try to check the level of oil, coolant, fuel or battery electrolyte by using an open flame
for illumination.
Beware of rotating parts !
Never check the fan belt tension while the engine is running. Ensure that the engine is
stopped completely before checking any moving or rotating parts.
Clean the lubricating oil filters, grease the nipples and oil the moving parts to prevent any
foreign particles from entering engine.
Use genuine KOMATSU parts specified in the parts book when replacing parts.
Use genuine KOMATSU lubricants. Select the required viscosity for the specific ambient
temperature.
Always use a clean oil and grease in cleaning container to prevent entrance of foreign
particles.
When adding fuel, prevent water from the drum head or bottom from mixing with the fuel.
Check and replace oil at a dustless location to prevent entrance of dust.
★ Generally the oil and cooling water in the generator is hot after the engine stops. Do not
discharge the oil or water, or replace the filter until the temperature has dropped. On the
other hand, if the oil is cold, do not discharge the oil until it has been warmed up to 20°C
to 40°C.
After cleaning or replacing the oil, filter element and strainer, bleed air from the circuit.
If a strainer is provided at the oil filter, do not remove the strainer when adding the oil.
Make sure the lubricating oil is neither excessive nor insufficient. Check if the oil level is
- 33 -
proper at the time of inspection and replenish if necessary.
When changing the oil or replacing the filters, inspect the discharged oil and oil filter to see
whether there is a large amount of metal powders or foreign particles.
When any parts that use an O-ring or gasket seal is removed, clean the seal mounting
surface before replacing a new seal.
When oil or cooling water is drained, attach a caution tag to the Engine Control Panel to
prevent any accidental starting by other operators.
Wash parts in a non-combustible detergent or light oil. If light oil is used, keep fire away from
the operating area.
When washing the machine, prevent water from splashing onto any electrical parts.
★ Use ordinary automobile washing fluid. Be careful not to let dirt or dust get in.
While inspecting with the machine cover opened and your head down, things may
accidentally drop into the machine. Ensure the pocket is empty. Do not drop any wrench or
nut into the machine.
During welding, be careful of the following :
1) Turn off the power supply (MCB).
2) Do not continuously apply more than 200V.
3) Connect the ground cable at 1m from the location to be welded.
4) Take care not to install any seals between the grounded point and the location to be
welded.

★ Ensure that the generator is on a level ground when cleaning or changing the coolant.
★ Use a permanent type of antifreeze. Due to some reason, if it is impossible to use a
permanent type of antifreeze, then use an Ethylene Glycol antifreeze.
★ Make sure the Inhibitor is replaced.
★ Use city water as the cooling water. If the use of river water, well water or other type of
water supply are needed, contact KOMATSU distributor for advice.
When deciding the ratio between antifreeze and water, one has to check the lowest
temperature in the past. Then, decide the mixing ratio as according to the given table.
Actually, it is better to assume a temperature of about 10 °C lower for the mixing ratio.

Do not open the Radiator Cap when the radiator water is hot. Boiling water may spout
out. After the water cool down, raise the gap of the cap to release the pressure. Then,
remove the cap.
3) Open Drain Valve ③ at the bottom of the Radiator and Plug ④ on the side of
Cylinder Block to drain off the cooling water.
4) Drain off all the water and close up Drain Valve ③ and Plug ④. Then, top up with soft
water (ex.: city water) up to the marking on the Water Filler.
5) When the water reaches the marking on the Water Filler, run the engine at low idling,
and open Drain Valve ③ and Plug ④. Then pass water through the cooling system
for 10 minutes.
★ When doing this, adjust the inflow and outflow of water so that the radiator is always full.
6) After flushing with water, stop the engine. Close Drain Valve ③ and Plug ④ after
water has been drained.
7) After draining water, use a flushing agent to clean.
★ We recommend to use genuine KOMATSU flushing agent. Follow the instructions on the
label of the flushing agent to clean the cooling system.
8) After washing the cooling system, drain off all the water. Then close Drain Valve ③
and Plug ④. Top up with soft water (ex.: city water) up to the marking on the Water
Filler.
9) When the water reaches the marking on the Water Filler, run the engine at low idling,
and open Drain Valve ③ and Plug ④. Then pass water through the cooling system
until clean water comes out from Drain Valve ③ and Plug ④.
★ When doing this, adjust the inflow and outflow of water so that the radiator is always full.
10) When the water becomes completely clean, stop the engine, and close Drain Valve ③
and Plug ④.
11) Replace the Corrosion Resistor Cartridge and open the Corrosion Resistor Valve ①.
★ Refer to the Every 1000 Hours Service for details of replacement of the corrosion
resistor.

this operation.)
14) Stop the engine for 3 minutes, refill water again up to the marking on Water Filler and
tighten the Water Filler Cap ②.
Whenever the Dust Indicator ① shows red region, clean the Air Cleaner Element.
Stop the engine before cleaning the element.
1) Loosen Bolt ② and Clamp ③. Then remove Cover ④. Loose Wing Nut ⑤. Then
remove the Element.
2) Clean the interior body of the Air Cleaner and its Cover.
3) Clean and inspect the Element. (Refer to the below "Cleaning Outer Element" for
details)
4) Reinstall the Element after cleaning.
5) Reset the Dust Indicator to return the indication back to the green region.
★ The Outer Element needs to be replaced if it has been cleaned for 6 times repeatedly or
used for a year. When this occurs, replace the Inner Element too.
★ Both Outer Element and Inner Element need to be replaced when the Dust Indicator
shows red region soon after the installation of the cleaned Outer Element, even though it
has been cleaned less than 6 times.
★ Check and tighten the Inner Element Mounting Nut if necessary.
★ Replace Seal Washer ⑥ or Wing Nut ⑤ if they are broken.
★ When inspecting or cleaning the Air Cleaner, remove Evacuator Valve ⑦ and clean
with compressed air.
★ Remove a Seal from the Outer Element after clean. This is to monitor number of times
the Element has been cleaned by counting the number of removed Seals.

Replacing Inner Element
1) Remove the Outer Element.
2) Remove the nut and take out the Inner Element.
3) Use a clean cloth or tape to cover the air connector end.
4) Clean the interior body, then remove the cloth from the connector.
5) Install a new Element.
6) After replacing the Element, reset the Dust Indicator to its original position.
Direct a dry compressed air (less than 7 kg/cm2) to Element from inside along its folds. Then,
direct it from outside along its folds. Again from inside and check the element.
When working with compressed air, wear safety glasses and other protection to
maintain safety.
★ After cleaning and drying, use a lighting bulb to check for small holes or thinner parts in
Element. If found, replace the Element.
★ Do not use the Element which has been folded, and either gasket or seal that is
damaged.
★ When cleaning element, do not knock it or hit it against something.
Alternator Body
1) Cleaning the alternator by using water spray or a high-pressure washer is strictly
prohibited.
2) Use a brush and detergent (suitable for paint work) for degreasing.
3) Use air gun for dusting.
Bearings of Alternator
Periodic checks for overheating or noise during the life of the bearings are recommended.
If excessive vibration develops after a period of time, this may be due to bearings wear –
the bearing should then be examined for damage or lost of grease and replaced if
- 46 -
necessary. The bearings are permanently greased: approximate life of the grease
(depending on use) = 20,000 hours or 3 years.
Monitor the temperature rise in the bearings, which should not exceed 60 °C above the
ambient temperature. Should this value be exceeded, the alternator must be stopped and
checks need to be carried out.
Alternator Winding
Cleaning of the Stator, Rotor, Exciter and Diode Bridge must be carried out periodically
depending on site condition. The insulating components and the impregnation system are
not at risk of damage from solvents. See the below list of authorized products. Certain
strictly defined pure volatile degreasing products can be used, such as:
1) Normal Petrol (without additives).
2) Toluene (slightly toxic) ; inflammable.
3) Benzene (or benzine, toxic) ; inflammable.
4) Ciclohexare (non toxic) ; inflammable.
During cleaning, avoid letting the cleaning product run into the slots. Apply the product with
a brush, sponging frequently to avoid accumulation in the housing. Dry the winding with a
dry cloth.
Let any traces evaporate before reassembling the alternator.
After cleaning the alternator, it is essential to check the winding insulation. The condition of
the windings can be assessed by measurement of insulation resistance to earth.
The AVR should be disconnected during this test and the Resistance Temperature
Detector (RTD) leads grounded. A 500V "Megger" or similar instrument should be used.
The insulation resistance to earth of all windings should be in excess of 1 megaohm.
There are three possible methods for restoring these minimum values.
1) Dry out the alternator for 24 hours in a drying oven at a temperature of approximately
110 °C (without AVR).
2) Blow hot air into the air intake, making sure the alternator is rotating with the exciter
field disconnected.
3) Run in short circuit mode (disconnect the AVR):
Short out the three output power terminals by using connections capable of supporting
the rated current (try not to exceed 6 A/mm2).
Insert a clamp ammeter to monitor the current passing through the short circuit
connections.
- 47 -
Run the alternator at its rated speed, and adjust the exciter field current using rheostat
to obtain the rated output current in the short circuit connections.
See the maker's Installation and Maintenance manual for more details.
a) General
Maintenance work may only be performed in a careful manner by trained personnel familiar
with characteristics of the synchronizing process and installation in accordance with all
relevant safety regulations to IEC and those of other technical authorities, as well as other
overriding instructions. It is recommended that KOMATSU distributor be called in to perform
servicing and repair work.
The inspection and servicing intervals of some components are determined by fixed criteria
such as switching frequency, length of service and number of short circuit breaking operation.
For other parts, on the other hand, the length of intervals depend, for example, on the different
modes of operation in individual cases, the degree of loading, and also environment
influences.
Inspection and servicing of Synchronizing Panels should be carried out approximately every
one to two years, depending on the operating conditions and local environment.
