Fire caused by accumulation of combustible material
• Remove any dry leaves, chips, pieces of paper, coal dust, or any other combustible materials accumulated
or affixed around the engine exhaust manifold, muffler, or battery, or inside the undercovers.
• To prevent fires from spreading sparks or burning particles from other fires, remove any combustible materi-
als such as dry leaves, chips, pieces of paper, coal dust, or any other combustible materials accumulated
around the cooling system (radiator, oil cooler) or inside the undercover.
Fire coming from electric wiring
Short circuits in the electrical system can cause fire. Always observe the following.
• Keep all the electric wiring connections clean and securely tightened.
• Check the wiring every day for looseness or damage. Reconnect any loose connectors or refasten wiring
clamps. Repair or replace any damaged wiring.
Fire caused from piping
Check that all the hose and tube clamps, guards, and cushions are securely fixed in position.
If they are loose, they may vibrate during operation and rub against other parts. There is danger that this may
lead to damage to the hoses and cause high-pressure oil to spurt out, leading to fire and serious personal injury.
Fire around the machine due to highly heated exhaust gas
This machine is equipped with Komatsu Diesel Particulate Filter (hereafter KDPF).
2-12
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS COMMON TO OPERATION AND MAINTE-
SAFETY NANCE
KDPF is a device to purify the soot in the exhaust gas. Exhaust gas temperature may increase during the purifi-
cation process (regeneration). Do not bring any combustible material close to the outlet of the exhaust pipe.
When there are thatched houses, dry leaves or pieces of paper near the job site, set the system to the regener-
ation disable to prevent fire hazards due to highly heated exhaust gas during the aftertreatment devices regen-
eration. For setting, see “HANDLE Komatsu Diesel Particulate Filter (KDPF) (3-104)”.

system operating lamp is off. Then set the battery disconnect switch to OFF position and remove the switch key.
Danger of battery exploding
When the battery is being charged, flammable hydrogen gas is generated and may explode. In addition, the bat-
tery electrolyte includes dilute sulphuric acid. Any mistake in handling may cause serious personal injury, explo-
sion, or fire, so always observe the following.
• Do not use or charge the battery if the battery electrolyte is below LOWER LEVEL mark. This may cause
an explosion. Always perform periodic inspection of the battery electrolyte level, and add purified water
(such as a commercial battery fluid) to UPPER LEVEL mark.
• Do not use a dry wipe to clean the battery. A wet wipe will prevent fire or explosion from static electricity.
• Do not smoke or bring any open flame close to the battery.
• Hydrogen gas is generated when the battery is being
charged, so remove the battery from the machine, take it
to a well-ventilated place, remove the battery caps, then
perform the charging.
• After charging, tighten the battery caps securely.
2-30
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR MAINTENANCE
• If battery electrolyte gets on your clothes or skin, wash it off immediately with large amounts of water.
Danger of sparks
Sparks may be generated and they can cause a fire. Always observe the following.
• Do not let tools or other metal objects make any contact between the battery cables. Do not leave tools
lying around near the battery.
• When removing the battery cables, turn the starting switch to OFF position and, after checking that the sys-
tem operating lamp goes out, set the battery disconnect switch key to OFF position and pull it out.
When removing the battery cables, remove the ground cable (negative (-) cable) first. When installing, con-
nect the positive (+) cable first, then connect the ground.
• Tighten the battery cable terminals securely.
• Secure the battery firmly in the specified position.

PRECAUTIONS FOR MAINTENANCE SAFETY
HANDLE ACCUMULATOR
This machine is equipped with an accumulator. Even after the engine stops, if the work equipment control lever
is operated after stop of the engine in the direction to lower the work equipment, the work equipment goes down
with its own weight.
After stopping the engine, set the parking brake lever and work equipment lock lever to LOCK positions.
The accumulator is charged with high-pressure nitrogen gas, so mistaken operation may cause an explosion,
which will lead to serious injury or death. Always observe the following.
• Do not disassemble it.
• Do not bring it near flame or dispose of it in fire.
• Do not make holes in it, weld it, nor use a cutting torch.
• Do not hit or roll it, or subject it to any impact.
• When disposing of the accumulator, the gas must be re-
leased. Ask your Komatsu distributor to perform this work.
CHEMICAL HAZARD
During maintenance or dismantling operations, where there is the risk of contact with hazardous chemical sub-
stances, relevant safety precautions should be taken.
If any doubt exists, contact your Komatsu distributor.
See also “PRECAUTIONS FOR DISPOSING OF WASTE MATERIALS (2-34)” and “MAINTENANCE OF AIR
CONDITIONER (2-34)”
2-34
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR MAINTENANCE
Avoid exposure to burning rubber or plastics which produce a toxic gas that is harmful to people.
• When disposing of parts made of rubber or plastics (hoses, cables, and harnesses), always comply with the
local regulations for disposing industrial waste products.
2-35
PRECAUTIONS FOR DEF SAFETY
OTHER PRECAUTIONS
When disposing of DEF, treat it as an industrial waste. The container for DEF is an industrial waste as well. It
should be treated in the same way.
Never use an iron or aluminum container when disposing DEF, because toxic gas may develop and a chemical
reaction may corrode the container. Use a container made of resin (PP, PE) or stainless steel when handling the
fluid waste of DEF.
Do not touch any fluid discharged from urea SCR. This fluid becomes acid by the influence of sulphur in the fuel
or built-in oxidation catalyzer. If it gets on your skin, thoroughly wash it off with water.
White powder (crystallized urea) may cover the exhaust pipe outlet of aftertreatment devices. When you wipe off
the covered materials, discard the crystallized urea and the used cloth as industrial waste.
Never relocate or modify the exhaust gas aftertreatment devices. The harmful gas may be exhausted and it can
cause serious damage to the environment as well as violation of laws.

• Soot accumulation level (4) can be checked with the “Af-
tertreatment Devices Regeneration” screen.
Press switch F6 on the standard screen to display “After-
treatment Devices Regeneration” screen of the user menu.
• Since the soot in the filter of KDPF can be burnt by the
high-performance catalyst and high-temperature exhaust
heat, the soot accumulation quantity may decrease even if
the regeneration is not performed, depending on the oper-
ating condition.
• Even when the soot accumulation level is low, the auto-
matic regeneration may be performed and the manual sta-
tionary regeneration may be requested to protect the sys-
tem. In particular, if engine is kept running with no load, the
regeneration frequency may increase, but this is not a fail-
ure.
• Even just after the regeneration is completed, the soot ac-
cumulation level may not be “0”. This is caused by the ac-
cumulated noncombustible material in the exhaust gas and
is not a failure.
• Since noncombustible matter which cannot be burnt by the
regeneration is accumulated in the filter of KDPF, the filter
needs to be cleaned or replaced at regular intervals. See
“METHOD FOR CLEANING KDPF (4-79)”.
• The engine speed or engine sound may change during or
after the regeneration. This is caused by the control for
better regeneration and this is not a failure.
• The smell of the exhaust gas is different from that of the
conventional diesel engine because of the exhaust gas fil-
tering function.
• White smoke may be discharged for a short time just after
the engine is started or during the regeneration in the cold
season, but this is not a failure.
• Komatsu recommends using Komatsu genuine engine oil
for KDPF. If engine oil other than Komatsu genuine oil for
KDPF is used, it may shorten cleaning interval of KDPF fil-
ters, adversely affect the engine such as deteriorated oil
may reduce lubricating function, and it may cause failure.
In addition, the regeneration interval may be shortened
and the fuel consumption may increase. For details of the
genuine oil, see “RECOMMENDED FUEL, COOLANT,
AND LUBRICANT (7-6)”.
• If the mixing ratio of the bio-fuel in the diesel fuel is high,
the regeneration of KDPF may become more frequent.

• The progress of the manual stationary regeneration
performed when soot is accumulated can be checked
by the number of lighting lamps of soot accumulation
level (4). The manual stationary regeneration starts at
soot accumulation level “4” or higher and finishes
when all the level lamps go out.
• The time required for the manual stationary regenera-
tion depends on the soot deposition level or the ambi-
ent temperature when it is started. If the regeneration
starts at soot accumulation level “6” or higher, it may
take approximately 2 hours to finish.
• The manual stationary regeneration for protection of
the system may start even when the soot accumula-
tion level is “0” to “3”. In this case, the soot accumula-
tion level may not decrease, but this is not trouble.
The progress is not displayed on the machine monitor
during this regeneration. It is completed in approxi-
mately 10 minutes.
• If the parking brake lever and work equipment lock
lever or the fuel control dial is operated during the
manual stationary regeneration, the regeneration is
stopped automatically. Return the parking brake lever
and work equipment lock lever to LOCK position (L)
and return the fuel control dial to Low idle (MIN) posi-
tion, then repeat the procedure from step 6.
• If the machine needs to be moved during the manual
stationary regeneration, stop the regeneration tempo-
rarily and move the machine, referring to the after-
treatment devices regeneration disable and cancel
procedures described below.
When restarting the manual stationary regeneration,
secure the safety of the machine and around it, then
cancel the regeneration disable.

EXPLANATION OF COMPONENTS OPERATION
Urea SCR system is equipped with a heating system to thaw frozen DEF once it is frozen, for example, during
parking and to prevent DEF from freezing during operation.
In case DEF freezes during parking, once the engine starts running the heating system automatically starts pro-
viding heat to thaw frozen DEF. The pump and the injector start working only after a proper amount of DEF is
thawed. This may be noticed as a delay in the start of functioning of the pump and the injector.
The heating system is also activated automatically during operation to prevent DEF from freezing whenever the
ambient temperature drops below a certain threshold where DEF in the system may freeze. In the event that the
ambient temperature drops further than a temperature where the heating system is capable of maintaining fluidi-
ty of DEF, the DEF system automatically starts purging the remaining DEF back to the tank and stops pumping
and injection while heating continues. Once the ambient temperature rises above a temperature where DEF
system becomes functional, it resumes operation automatically.
Short duration of white plume given off from the tail pipe may be visible at and shortly after engine start-up in
cold weather, but this is not malfunction.

Temporary Restoration from Inducement
Temporary Restoration from Inducement is the one of the Inducement strategies allowed to be included in Urea
SCR systems.
In case the Urea SCR system advances to “Severe Inducement”, engine power is derated heavily. This may
cause difficulties of moving the machine to a safe place for adding DEF or troubleshooting and correcting abnor-
malities of the Urea SCR system. For temporary remedies from these difficulties the operator can restore engine
power for a short time to the deration of “Low level Inducement” through the machine monitor. Note that “Tempo-
rary Restoration from Inducement” does not regain full engine power.
“Temporary Restoration from Inducement” can be activated only when the Urea SCR system is in “Severe In-
ducement”. The maximum duration is limited to 30 minutes in each restoration operation, and only 3 operations
are allowed unless all the abnormalities of the Urea SCR system are corrected.
If the system advances to “Severe Inducement”, utilize “Temporary Restoration from Inducement” immediately.
Procedure to activate “Temporary Restoration from Inducement”.

• Urea SCR system has the function of heating and keeping itself warm to prevent freezing of DEF.
If DEF is frozen, the DEF system is heated to thaw the DEF automatically after the engine starts. The devi-
ces do not operate until DEF is thawed and supplied, but this does not indicate any abnormality.
When the ambient temperature decreases to a level where the DEF may freeze while the machine is in op-
eration, the DEF system is warmed automatically to prevent freezing. When the ambient temperature de-
creases to a level where freezing of DEF is not preventable, the devices stop automatically, but this does
not indicate any abnormality.
• If DEF freezes, thawing operation is performed automatically. Never heat DEF.
Harmful ammonia gas may be generated.
Turbo protect function
The turbo protect function protects the turbocharger by keeping the engine speed at approximately 1000 rpm or
less immediately after the engine is started.
When the turbo protect function and automatic warm-up function operate at the same time, the turbo protect
function is given priority.
• When the turbo protect function is actuated, the engine speed is held at 1000 rpm, even if the fuel control
dial is turned to a position of 1000 rpm or higher.

DOZING WORK
Cut soil and sand and move them forward. When cutting a
slope surface, it is more efficient to always cut from top toward
bottom.
When dozing toward one side only, operate with angled blade.
(Angle dozer, Power angle power tilt dozer)
LEVELING WORK
NOTICE
Avoid leveling work on rocky or stony ground. It can damage the blade.
To finish the ground to a flat surface after digging or piling soil,
put a full load of soil on the front face of the blade and operate
the blade up and down in small movements while traveling for-
ward.
Finally, float the blade travel at low speed in reverse while pull-
ing the blade over the ground surface.
At this time, hold the lever by hand in FLOAT position for at
least 1 second to make sure that it stays in position.
Avoid running over stones or rocks to protect the blade.

• When the ambient temperature is low, the capacity of the battery considerably drops. Cover it, or remove it
from the machine to place it in the warm place. Restore it again before the operation.
• If the electrolyte level is low, add distilled water in the morning before beginning the work. Do not add water
after the day's work to prevent diluted electrolyte in the battery from freezing during the night.
To prevent mud, water, or the undercarriage from freezing and making it impossible for the machine to move on
the following morning, observe the following precautions.
• Remove all the mud and water from the machine body. In particular, wipe the hydraulic cylinder rods clean
to prevent damage to the seal caused by mud, dirt, or drops of water on the rod from getting inside the seal.
• Place the machine on a firm, dry ground.
If this is impossible, park the machine on boards.
The boards prevent the tracks from freezing to the ground, and allow the machine to move the next morn-
ing.
• Open the drain valve and drain any water collected in the fuel system to prevent it from freezing.
• Fill up the fuel tank. This minimizes moisture condensation in the tank when the temperature drops.
• In cold weather condition, add DEF to the defined level strictly. If adding more than the defined level, it may
expand to break the devices in the tank when it freezes.
If DEF tank level is lower than the defined level for the cold weather, DEF may freeze easily to damage the
parts in DEF system. If the filler cap freezes, defreeze and open.
• After operation in water or mud, remove water from undercarriage as described below to extend undercar-
riage service life.
• Do not leave the machine running idle for a long time. The inside of KCCV and blowby piping may freeze
solid and block the piping.
To prevent freeze, stop the engine or, if it is necessary to run the engine at idle, apply the load from time to
time.
• Do not continue low-load operation . If continuous low-load operation is performed, operate the machine
with load (warm-up operation) before stop the engine.

OPERATION COLD WEATHER OPERATION
If the machine is parked for long time in the cold weather condition, quality of DEF may be affected by repeated
freeze, ask your Komatsu distributor to inspect.
3-231
PRECAUTIONS FOR LONG-TERM STORAGE OPERATION
• During storage, operate and move the machine for a short distance once a month so that a new film of oil
will coat moving parts. At the same time, charge the battery as well.
• When operating the work equipment, wipe off all the grease from the hydraulic cylinder rods.
• If the machine is equipped with an air conditioner, operate the air conditioner for 3 to 5 minutes once a
month to lubricate all parts of the air conditioner compressor. Always run the engine at low idle when doing
this. In addition, check the refrigerant level twice a year.
3-232
OPERATION PRECAUTIONS FOR LONG-TERM STORAGE
If the machine has been stored for more than 2 months, perform the following procedure.
• Before starting the engine, replace DEF filter and fill up DEF tank according to the procedure in “METHOD
FOR REPLACING DEF FILTER (4-73)”.
• Start the engine and check correctly.
If SCR system has any abnormality, warning is displayed on the monitor screen and the audible alert
sounds. If SCR system has any abnormality, stop the engine, and then start it again.
If SCR system still has abnormality after the engine is restarted, contact your Komatsu distributor.
• If DEF is kept in DEF tank for more than 1 year, ask your Komatsu distributor for replacement.
Dispose of drained DEF according to the local regulations and rules.
Aged DEF may have smell of ammonia. Replace DEF in a well-ventilated place and take care not to inhale
its vapor.

MAINTENANCE OUTLINE OF MAINTENANCE
OUTLINE OF MAINTENANCE
• Komatsu recommends using Komatsu genuine parts for replacement parts, grease or oil.
• When changing the oil or adding oil, do not mix different types of oil. When changing the type of oil, drain all
the old oil and fill completely with the new oil. Always replace the filter at the same time. (There is no prob-
lem if the small amount of oil remaining in the piping mixes with the new oil.)
• Unless otherwise specified, when the machine is shipped from the plant, it is filled with the oil and coolant
listed in the table below.

FUEL
• To prevent the moisture in the air from condensing and forming water inside the fuel tank, always fill the fuel
tank with fuel after completing the day's work.
4-5
OUTLINE OF MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE
• The fuel pump is a precision equipment, and if fuel containing water or dirt is used, it cannot work properly.
• Be extremely careful not to let impurities get in when storing or adding fuel.
• Always use the fuel specified for the temperature that is described in Operation and Maintenance Manual.
• If the fuel is used at the temperatures lower than the specified temperature (particularly at tempera-
tures below -15 °C), the fuel will solidify.
• If the fuel is used at temperatures higher than the specified temperature, the viscosity will drop, and it
may result in troubles such as a drop of output.
• Before starting the engine, or after 10 minutes of adding fuel, drain the sediment and water from the fuel
tank.
• If the engine runs out of fuel, or if the filters are replaced, it is necessary to bleed the air from the circuit.
• If there is any foreign material in the fuel tank, wash the tank and fuel system.
NOTICE
The fuel used must be ultra low-sulfur diesel fuel. (≤10 ppm)
To ensure good fuel consumption characteristics and exhaust gas characteristics, the engine mounted
on this machine uses an electronically controlled high-pressure fuel injection device and emission gas
control system (KDPF). Since the high-pressure fuel injection device requires high precision parts and
lubrication, if low viscosity fuel with low lubricating ability is used, its durability may drop considerably.
And using fuel with high sulfur content can deteriorate the engine parts and KDPF catalyzer, inducing
failures, decrease of the life and degradation in performance.
DEF
• If DEF gets on your skin, it may cause inflammation. Immediately take the contaminated clothes or shoes
off and wash it off with water. In addition, use a soap to wash it off thoroughly. If your skin becomes irritated
or begins to hurt, immediately consult a doctor for treatment.
• Do not induce vomiting if swallowed. If swallowed, thoroughly rinse mouth with water and consult a doctor
for treatment.
• Avoid contact with the eyes. If there is contact, flush with clean water for several minutes and consult a doc-
tor for treatment.
• Wear protective eyeglasses when exposed to DEF to protect from solution splashing in your eyes. Wear
rubber gloves when you perform work handling DEF to avoid skin contact.

MAINTENANCE OUTLINE OF MAINTENANCE
• When opening the cap of DEF tank of the machine, the ammonia vapour may escape. Keep your face
away from the filler port.
• Do not put fluid other than DEF into DEF tank. If diesel fuel or gasoline is added into the tank, it can cause
a fire. Some fluids or agents added can create and emit a toxic gas.
• DEF is non-flammable; however, in the case of a fire it may generate an ammonia gas.
• If DEF is spilled, immediately wash and clean the area with water. If spilled DEF is left unattended and the
area is not washed and cleaned, it can cause corrosion to the contaminated area and emit toxic gas.
• When disposing of DEF, treat it as an industrial waste. The container for DEF is an industrial waste as well.
It should be treated in the same way.
• Never use an iron or aluminum container when disposing DEF, because toxic gas may develop and a
chemical reaction may corrode the container. Use a container made of resin (PP, PE) or stainless steel
when handling the fluid waste of DEF.
NOTICE
If you add any additional additive agents or water to DEF, the devices in the Urea SCR system may be
defective, and conformance to the exhaust gas regulations will be lost.
GREASE
• Grease is used to prevent seizure and noises at the joints.
• This construction equipment is used under heavy-duty conditions. Komatsu recommends using the recom-
mended grease and follow the replacement intervals and recommended ambient temperatures given in this
Operation and Maintenance Manual.
• Grease fittings not included in the periodic maintenance section are the grease fittings for overhaul, so they
do not need grease.
If any part becomes stiff after being used for long time, add grease.
• Always wipe off all of the old grease that is pushed out when greasing.
Be particularly careful to wipe off the old grease in places where sand or dirt sticking in the grease would
cause wear of the rotating parts.

Others
Measurements are made of items such as the ratio of water, coolant, and fuel in the oil, and dynamic viscosity, if
necessary, to enable a highly precise diagnosis of the machine and the components' condition.
Oil sampling interval
500 hours
Precautions when sampling
• Make sure that the oil is well mixed before sampling.
• Perform sampling at regular fixed intervals.
• Do not perform sampling on rainy or windy days when water or dust can get into the oil.
For further details of KOWA, contact your Komatsu distributor.
STORE DEF
• Completely seal up its container for storage. Only open containers in a well-ventilated area.
• When storing DEF, avoid direct sunlight. Always use the original container. Make sure that transfer equip-
ment and tank must meet DEF compatible material specification. If DEF is stored in an iron or aluminum
container, toxic gas may develop and a chemical reaction may corrode the container.
• The relationship between the upper limit of storage temperature and the storage period of DEF is shown in
the table.
Temperature of storage area Storage period
Max.10 °C Up to 36 months
Max.25 °C Up to 18 months
Max.30 °C Up to 12 months
Max.35 °C Up to 6 months
FILTER
• Filters are extremely important safety parts. They prevent impurities in the oil, fuel, and air circuits from en-
tering important equipment and causing problems. Replace all filters periodically. For details, see Operation
and Maintenance Manual.
4-8
MAINTENANCE OUTLINE OF MAINTENANCE
However, when working in severe conditions, replace the filters at shorter intervals according to the oil and
fuel (sulphur content) being used.
• Never try to clean and use again the filters (cartridge type). Always replace them with new filters.
• When replacing oil filters, check if any metal particles are attached to the old filters.
If any metal particles are found, consult your Komatsu distributor.
• Do not open packages of spare filters until just before they are to be used.
• Komatsu recommends using Komatsu genuine filters.
• When removing the connectors of electrical components after washing the machine or in the rain, wipe off
the water drop stuck around connectors before removing the connectors and keep the water drop away
from inside of the connectors.
• Checking and maintenance items are checking fan belt tension, checking damage of the fan belt and
checking battery fluid level.
• Komatsu recommends installing electric components specified by Komatsu.
• External electro-magnetic interference may cause malfunction of the control system controller. Accordingly,
consult your Komatsu distributor before installing a radio receiver or other wireless equipment to the ma-
chine.
• When working at the seashore, keep the electrical component clean to prevent corrosion.
• When installing electrical component, connect it to the special power supply connector.
Do not connect the optional power supply to the fuse or starting switch or battery relay, etc.

OUTLINE OF MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE
• When the hydraulic oil filter element or strainer is replaced or cleaned, or when a hydraulic component is
repaired, replaced, or its piping is removed, air in the circuit must be bled.
• The accumulator is charged with high-pressure nitrogen gas, and it is extremely dangerous if it is handled
incorrectly.

Coolant
placement of coolant
Non-Amine Engine Coolant Every 2 years or 4000 hours, whichever
(AF-NAC) comes sooner
The coolant has the important function of preventing corrosion as well as preventing freezing.
Even in the areas where freezing is not an issue, the use of coolant is essential.
Komatsu machines are supplied with Non-Amine Engine Coolant (AF-NAC). Non-Amine Engine Coolant (AF-
NAC) has excellent anti-corrosion, antifreeze and cooling properties and can be used continuously for 2 years
or 4000 hours.
Komatsu recommends the use of Non-Amine Engine Coolant (AF-NAC). If you use another coolant, it may
cause serious problems, such as corrosion of the engine and aluminum parts of the cooling system.
To maintain the anti-corrosion properties of Non-Amine Engine Coolant (AF-NAC), always keep the density of
Non-Amine Engine Coolant between 30 % and 64 %.
Non-Amine Engine Coolant (AF-NAC) is already diluted with distilled water. When using coolant, investigate the
lowest temperature in the past and decide the density for the coolant from the following coolant density table.
When deciding the density for the coolant, set it for a temperature 10 °C below the actual lowest temperature in
the working area.
The coolant density varies according to the ambient temperature, but it must be over 30 % at least.

MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE MAINTENANCE
Density (%) 30 36 41 46 50 54 58 61 64
k WARNING
• Coolant is toxic. When opening the drain valve, be careful not to get coolant on you. If it gets in
your eyes, flush your eyes with large amount of fresh water and see a doctor immediately.
• When handling the cooling water containing coolant that has been drained during changing the
coolant or repair of radiator, contact your Komatsu distributor or request a qualified company to
perform the operation. Coolant is toxic, so never pour it into drainage ditches or drain it onto the
ground surface.
Non-Amine Engine Coolant (AF-NAC) is already diluted with distilled water, so it is not flammable. (For dilution
water, see “COOLANT AND WATER FOR DILUTION (4-6)”.)
Check the density with a coolant tester.
Prepare a hose to use when filling with coolant and water.
Prepare a container whose capacity is larger than the specified coolant volume to catch drained coolant.
1. Place the machine on a level place.
2. Stop the engine.
3. Turn radiator cap (1) slowly until it hits the stopper and re-
lease the pressure.
4. While pushing radiator cap (1), turn it until it touches to the
stopper, then remove it.
5. Put containers to catch the coolant under drain valve (2) at
the bottom of the radiator and under drain valve (3) at the
side of the cylinder block.
6. Open drain valves (2) and (3) to drain the coolant.
7. After draining the coolant, close drain valve (2) and drain
valve(3) and fill with city water.
8. After the radiator is filled with water, start the engine.
9. Run the engine at low idle for approximately 10 minutes.
10. Stop the engine.
11. Open drain valves (2) and (3) to drain the water.
12. Close drain valves (2) and (3).

FUNCTION OF ACCUMULATOR
The accumulator (1) stores the pressure in the control circuit.
Even after the engine is stopped, the control circuit can be op-
erated, so the following actions are possible.
• If the control lever is operated in the direction to lower the
work equipment, it is possible for the work equipment to go
down under its own weight.
• The pressure in the hydraulic circuit can be released.
NOTICE
If the nitrogen gas charge pressure in the accumulator is low and operations are continued, it becomes
impossible to release the remaining pressure inside the hydraulic circuit if a failure occurs on the ma-
chine.
Replace the accumulator every 2 years or every 4000 hours, whichever comes sooner.

NOTICE
• Komatsu recommends using Komatsu genuine parts for replacement parts.
• If the engine is operated without the filter element, the turbocharger and aftercooler become dirty
and their performance will lower and that can cause engine problems such as overrun caused by
suction of oil. Therefore, do not start the engine without the filter element.
• The filter element cannot be flushed. Flushing or regenerating of the filter element will degrade per-
formance of the filter. As a result, the turbocharger and aftercooler become dirty and the perform-
ance lowers or the crankcase pressure increases. Never reuse the filter element since it can cause
an engine failure.
• After the filter element is replaced, if KCCV is not assembled correctly, oil or blowby gas may leak.
Replace the filter element in the correct procedure.
• Always stop the engine and clean around the KCCV before replacing the element.
Prepare the special wrench for KCCV and a container to catch the oil.

NOTICE
• Komatsu recommends using Komatsu genuine parts for replacement parts.
• If the machine is operated without DEF filter attached, or with the filter other than Komatsu genuine
parts, foreign materials may enter into DEF pump and DEF injector which will cause failure of the
machine. Never operate the machine without DEF filter attached, nor use the filter other than Komat-
su genuine parts.
• DEF filter cannot be flushed. Flushing or regenerating of it will degrade the performance of filter,
and will cause the breakage of DEF tank. Never reuse the filter.
• Improper assembly of DEF filter may cause leakage of DEF. Replace the DEF filter in the correct pro-
cedure.
• DEF freezes at –11 °C. If it is frozen, replacement of the filter becomes difficult. Replace the filter
when the temperature around DEF pump is higher than -11 °C, and in the condition that DEF is not
frozen.
After the engine is stopped, DEF system devices automatically purge DEF in DEF injector and DEF pump and
return it to DEF tank to prevent malfunction of the devices caused by freezing of DEF or deposition of urea.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS ATTACHMENTS AND OPTIONS
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFETY
If attachments or options other than those authorized by Komatsu are installed, this will not only affect the life of
the machine, but will also cause problems with safety.
When installing attachments not listed in this Operation and Maintenance Manual, contact your Komatsu distrib-
utor first. If you do not contact Komatsu, we cannot accept any responsibility for any accidents or failures.
k WARNING
General precautions
• Read the instruction manual for the attachment carefully, and you must understand the operation
method completely before using the machine..
If you lose the instruction manual, be sure to order another copy from your Komatsu distributor.
• To prevent serious personal injury or death caused by misoperation, you must not place your foot
on the pedal except when operating the pedal.
Precautions for removal and installation
When removing or installing an attachment, observe the following items and work safely.
• Select a firm, level surface when installing or removing an attachment.
• When working in cooperation with one or more other workers, decide signs and observe them when
performing the operation.
• Use a crane when carrying heavy objects (more than 25 kg).
• When removing a heavy part, always place a support in position before removing it.
When lifting a load with a crane, be particularly careful of the center of gravity.
• It is dangerous to perform works when the load has been raised by a crane. Always lower the load
onto a stand and check that it is safe.
• When leaving an attachment removed or installing it, place it in a stable position to prevent it from
falling over.
• Never go under a load raised by a crane.
Always stand in a place which is safe even if the load should fall.
NOTICE
Qualifications are required to operate a crane. Never allow the crane to be operated by an unqualified
person.
For details of removal and installation operations, contact your Komatsu distributor.

NOTICE
If the wear of the center blade boss is left as it is, it becomes difficult to work stably and the machine
may be damaged.
If shims (1) and (2) in bosses (3) of the center blade are worn, folding or unfolding of the blade becomes diffi-
cult. Replace and adjust shims (1) and (2) in the bosses at both ends according to the following procedure.
1. Stop the machine on a level ground.
2. Raise the blade and set it in parallel with the machine.
3. If shims (1) and (2) at the bosses (4 places) of the center
blade are worn, remove them.
4. Measure clearances (A) and (B) in the bosses of the fold-
ing blade.
5. Insert new shims (1) and (2) so that clearances (A) and (B)
are 0 to 0.5 mm, then install pins (4).

REMARK
Specified capacity means the total amount of oil including the oil in the tank and the piping. Refill capacity
means the amount of oil needed to refill the system during inspection and maintenance.
Note 1: KDPF engine oil for cold district is deteriorated easily than that for normal area (replace every 500
hours), so replace oil and filter cartridge every 250 hours. For changing maintenance time of machine monitor,
ask your Komatsu distributor to perform the work.
Note 2: Power train oil has different properties from engine oil. Be sure to use the recommended oils.
Note 3: Hyper white grease (G2-T, G2-TE) has a high performance.
When it is necessary to improve the lubricating ability of the grease in order to prevent squeaking of pins and
bushings, the use of G2-T or G2-TE is recommended.
Note 4: Non-Amine Engine Coolant (AF-NAC)
1. The coolant has the important function of preventing corrosion as well as preventing freezing.
Even in the areas where freezing is not an issue, the use of coolant is essential.
Komatsu recommends the use of Non-Amine Engine Coolant (AF-NAC). If you use another coolant, it may
cause serious problems in the cooling system, including the engine.
Komatsu machines are supplied with Non-Amine Engine Coolant (AF-NAC). Non-Amine Engine Coolant
(AF-NAC) has excellent anti-corrosion, antifreeze and cooling properties and can be used continuously for
2 years or 4000 hours.
Non-Amine Engine Coolant (AF-NAC) is strongly recommended wherever available.
2. For details of the density of Non-Amine Engine Coolant (AF-NAC), see “METHOD FOR CLEANING INSIDE
OF COOLING SYSTEM (4-19)”.
Non-Amine Engine Coolant (AF-NAC) is supplied already diluted. In this case, fill up the tank with pre-dilut-
ed fluid. (Never dilute the Non-Amine Engine Coolant with ordinary water.)
Note 5: DEF freezes at -11 °C. If thawing is necessary, DEF system is automatically heated and thawed after
the engine is started.
