RADIO WAVE REGULATIONS FOR KOMTRAX AND KOMTRAX PLUS

RADIO WAVE REGULATIONS FOR KOMTRAX AND KOMTRAX PLUS

NOTICE Mining excavators produced by Komatsu Germany use only the Komtrax Plus system for wireless communication. The directives mentioned below are written for the Komtrax system but are also valid for the Orbcomm modems used in Komtrax Plus.

The Komtrax equipment is a wireless device using radio waves, so it is necessary to obtain authorization and conform to the laws of the country or territory where the excavator equipped with Komtrax is being used. Always contact your Komatsu distributor before exporting this excavator equipped with Komtrax or using it in a foreign country. Komtrax may already have been registered and used if the excavator is purchased as second-hand. For the registration and usage records of Komtrax, consult your Komatsu distributor. If the excavator has been lent out by the customer, the borrower or another third party may have been using Komtrax. Confirm with the owner about the using conditions of Komtrax. Komatsu may suspend Komtrax communication in the following cases: –

When Komatsu judges that Komtrax is used by an unregistered customer.

When Komatsu judges that Komtrax is used in a country or region where its use is not authorized.

In other cases that Komatsu or Komatsu distributors judges that it is necessary to suspend Komtrax communication.

If you do not observe the above rules, neither Komatsu nor your Komatsu distributor shall be held liable for any resulting impacts or damages.

DESIGNATED USE OF THE EXCAVATOR

DESIGNATED USE OF THE EXCAVATOR

This excavator has been manufactured in accordance with advanced and up-to-date technology standards including recognized safety rules. Nevertheless, its use may constitute a risk to life and limb of the user or of third parties, or cause damage to the excavator and to other material property. The excavator must only be used in technically perfect condition in accordance with its designated use and the instructions set out in the operation manual. Only trained safety-conscious operators who are fully aware of the risks involved should operate the excavator. Any functional disorders, especially those affecting the safety of the excavator, should, therefore, be rectified immediately. The hydraulic excavator is designed exclusively for excavating, i.e. excavation of bulk material and natural soil structure (e.g. earth, clay, sand and stones ashore and off-shore). Observe local and national safety regulations. Special conditions at the work site require additional safe working precautions, follow your company's safety instructions. Short traveling distances for changing the working site are considered as part of the designated use of the excavator. Using the excavator for purposes other than those mentioned above (such as object handling and use as a transport vehicle) is considered contrary to its designated use. The manufacturer/supplier cannot be held liable for any damage resulting from such use. The risk of such misuse lies entirely with the user.

NOTICE Special use of the excavator beyond its designated use, e.g. object handling operations, require written agreement from the manufacturer and retrofitment of the excavator with respective safety related equipment before such special applications are permitted.

INSTRUCTIONS TO USING AND LOOKING AFTER THE SEAT BELTS

CAUTION CHECK SEAT BELT! A defective seat belt may not prevent injury when the excavator is involved in an accident or moves suddenly or unexpectedly as planned.

REMARKS: To ensure the seat belt functions properly, we recommend replacing the seat belt and securing parts 3 years after installation or 5 years after seat belt manufacture, whichever comes first. Before operating the excavator, adjust the seat comfortably and fasten the seatbelt. Adjust the seat belt to fit low around the hips to lessen the chance and severity of injury in the event of an accident. Do not adjust the seat belt around the abdomen. These instructions apply to both the main operator’s seat and the passenger’s jump seat. The condition of the seat belt, all seat belt components, the seat belt retractors and and the seat belt mounting hardware should always be checked before operating the excavator. Replace any defective parts immediately. Replace the seat belt if:–

The webbing material of the seat belt is overly worn, has a frayed appearance or has loose stitching.

The buckle and tongue fastening no longer click together closed or they show other signs of damage.

The retracting system does not pull the belt in.

The slack take-up system, if equipped, no longer operates.

Always: –

ensure that the seat belt mounting bolts are tight and are not in any way damaged.

ensure items with sharp edges are kept away from the seat belt webbing.

ensure the buckle and the tongue fastening are not lubricated.

make sure the belt is cleaned using only soapy water and a mild detergent. Never use bleach, color dye or solvents on the seat belt webbing.

ensure the seat belt is flat and not twisted when not in use.

use seat belt in accordance with the local safety regulations and laws.

CAUTION CHECK SEAT BELTS! Defective seat belts are a safety hazard. The seat belt should be completely exchanged, together with all seat belt components and the mounting hardware. The date of installation of the seat belt system should be marked and affixed where appropriate.

Fig. 3-29

Peculiarities to be observed: Higher maintenance also include lower maintenance. (Lower maintenance must also be carried out!) Exception: On performance of the 3000 h maintenance it is not necessary to also carry out the 2000 h maintenance. The maintenance cycles are rigidly linked to the running time meter. Only running time hours are taken into consideration (No minutes or seconds).

NOTICE REGULAR CHECKS AND INSPECTIONS! The routine visual checks and inspections after every 10 and 50 operating hours are not called up on the Maintenance Monitor. Carry out these checks and inspections according to the MAINTENANCE section 4 in this manual. The engine maintenance has to be carried out according to the separate Engine Operation and Maintenance Manual filed in volume 2 binder. On new excavators an INITIAL SERVICING after the first 250 and 1000 operating hours is required, in addition to the periodic maintenance intervals displayed on the monitor. Carry out all maintenance items according to the MAINTENANCE section 4 in this Manual. Missing or incomplete checks and inspections can cause damage to the excavator. Always perform all scheduled checks and inspections.

3.4.8.1

MAINTENANCE CONFIRMATION THROUGH SERVICE PERSONNEL

Maintenance indicated with yellow or red color of the icon above the maintenance key F5 should be confirmed through Service Personnel in the Service Menu subsequent to the execution of the maintenance. With the confirmation the actual value maintenance number is increased by 1. Thus, the length of the maintenance cycle is added to the display value and the gray color will appear on the maintenance icon. The message in the Service Menu for maintenance confirmation then turns white instead of yellow. For more information of maintenance confirmation refer to the Service Manual of the excavator.

STARTING PROCEDURE

WARNING STARTING THE ENGINE IS HAZARDOUS! People on or about the excavator may be unaware that it is starting, and could be injured or killed as a result. Before starting the Engine, make sure that no one will be endangered.

REMARKS: Excavators destined for areas with very low ambient temperatures are equipped with electronic preheating systems. These preheating systems have to be activated as soon as the engine has been stopped. Before starting, read the Engine Operation Manual. Observe the instructions for starting the Engine. –

After repairs on the Diesel Engine or Starter Motor, make sure that the ground cables are correctly connected before starting the Engine.

Start the engine from the operator’s seat only. Never attempt to start the engine by shorting across starter terminals. This can cause fire, serious injury or death.

Before each start, ensure that all controls are in neutral position.

Be sure to sound the signal horn before starting, in order to make your intention clear.

REMARKS: Before starting the engine and again before starting work, pay attention to the hydraulic oil temperature. Refer to the paragraph "Hydraulic Oil Warm-up" in this section. Legend for Fig. 3-60 (1)

STARTING PROCEDURE AT AMBIENT TEMPERATURE UP TO -25°

REMARKS: If the ambient temperature is below -25°C proceed according to chapter "Cold Weather Starting at ambient Temperatures below –25°C" on page 3-123. 1. Insert battery main switch keys and turn to operating position. REMARKS: Start the engine with the lock lever in the fully rear LOCKED position. When the engine is running, move the lock lever to the front in the FREE position. 2. Insert key into the switch (1), Fig. 3-61 and turn to operating position. The warning buzzer (2) must give an acoustic test signal. If the buzzer fails to function, corrective action must be taken. 3. Observe Komtrax display (3). Normally the basic display appears on screen (3). If a FAULT message or INFORMATION item is displayed, proceed according to section "MACHINE MONITOR KOMTRAX PLUS)" on page 3-46. 4. Set toggle switch (4) to low idle speed position. 5. Sound the signal horn (5). 6. Start the engine by turning starter switches (6). REMARKS: The engine is equipped with a prelubrication system which is activated by the starter switch (6). Turning and holding the switch in the start position sends current to the prelubrication starter solenoid which then prelubricates the engine. This solenoid timer prevents current from flowing to the conventional starting motor until 17 kPa (2.5 psi) oil pressure has been achieved in the cam oil rifle. After a subsequent 3 second delay, current is then directed to the starting motors for cranking the engine.

3.11.2.1

COLD WEATHER STARTING AT AMBIENT TEMPERATURES BELOW 0°C TO -25°C

To facilitate starting at low outside temperatures (below 0° C) and with the engine cold, use the cold starting aid. Take into account, that the prelubrication period will be longer at low ambient temperatures. Inject starting fluid only after the prelubrication period is finished and the engine starts to crank. Engage the starter and while cranking, apply metered amounts of starting fluid using switch until the engine idles smoothly. REMARKS: Use the cold starting aid only during starting and with the engine cold.

NOTICE CRANKING THE ENGINE! Starting the engine improperly could damage the excavator. Never operate the starter longer than 30 seconds at a time in order to avoid damage. If the engine does not start within the first 30 seconds, wait 2 minutes before cranking again. As soon as the engines are running, check display (3) for messages.

COLD WEATHER STARTING AT AMBIENT TEMPERATURES BELOW –25°C

NOTICE COLD WEATHER STARTING AT EXTREMELY LOW TEMPERATURES! If the following cold weather start-up procedure for extremely low temperatures is not properly carried out, the reliability of the excavator and equipment will be seriously impaired. The hydraulic system should be filled with one of the specified hydraulic oils listed on page 4-4, "FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS FOR MODERATE AND HOT CLIMATES".

1. Record the Outside Ambient Temperature. If it is colder than –40°C, then DO NOT start the Excavator and keep the electrical preheating systems activated. If the customer decides to start the excavator at temperatures below –40°C it will be at the customer’s own risks in terms of potential structural damages and components failures. It must be understood, that Komatsu Germany will decline any warranty claims which would result from starting or operating the excavator when the ambient temperatures are below –40°C. 2. If the Outside Ambient Temperature is between –40°C and –25°C, then check that the preheating systems are duly energized and that all the heaters are functioning properly. Also close the radiator shutters (if so equipped). 3. Let the preheating systems warm the hydraulic oil and the engine coolant up to a temperature of –25°C or warmer. These temperatures are indicated on the temperature gauges on the dashboard. (With Heaters properly functioning, these temperatures should never fall below –25°C). –

If the preheating systems were not energized during the Standstill Period, the warm-up phase may last several hours, depending on the actual ambient temperature the excavator was exposed to, and the length of time the excavator stood still, until the minimum starting temperature of –25°C for the hydraulic oil and engine coolant is reached.

If the outside ambient temperature is below –40°C, warm up the entire excavator, using any safe means of heat generation such as hot air blower in connection with air-borne parachute, and/or any other appropriate means, before start-up, especially when the excavator has been shutdown for a long period, moreover when the preheating systems were not energized during the standstill period.

4. When the hydraulic oil, for example Shell Tellus S4 VX 32, and the engine coolant have been warmed-up to the minimum starting temperature of –25°C, switch off the engine coolant preheating systems. All other heating systems remain active. REMARKS: If a different hydraulic oil with a different viscosity is in the system, the minimum starting temperature may change. Refer to chapter "Hydraulic Oil Viscosity and Temperature Chart" on page 3-127 for the permissible starting temperatures. 5. When the hydraulic oil and the engine coolant have been warmed-up to the minimum starting temperature of – 25°C, switch off the engine coolant preheating systems. All other heating systems remain active.

STARTING THE ENGINE

6. Crank the engine up to three times without activating the starting aid fluid switch. 7. If the Engine does not start, activate the Diesel starting aid fluid switch, while cranking. 8. Release immediately the starting aid fluid switch once the Engine starts. 9. If Engine fails to start, go back to step 5. 10. Once the Engine is started, keep it at low idle speed for five minutes, then shift Engine to high idle speed in order to warm-up the Engine. 11. Once the Engine is up to working temperature, switch OFF the remaining electrical preheating systems and, if an external power source is used, disconnect the power supply cable. Carefully start moving the attachment by operating controls very slowly. Follow the steps below: – Raise the attachment slightly off the ground and start by holding the clam closed function over relief. Keeping in mind not to hold over relief for long periods of time as it may damage the relief valve due to overheating. – After holding clam closed function over relief, slowly open clam and hold open function over relief. Continue working clam and holding over relief until the hydraulic oil temperature gauge begins to move and then proceed on to the bucket functions. – While holding the bucket functions over relief, continue to work the clam to keep the oil flowing through the circuit. – As the temperature of the hydraulic oil rises, move on to the stick and then to the boom functions, keeping other functions in motion as well. Once the hydraulic oil temperature is approximately +30°C, start adding slew functions into motion. – Once the hydraulic oil is close to working temperature slew over one track, raise the track off of the ground with the attachment, and slowly rotate the raised track to remove cold oil from the circuit. The running surfaces of track pads must be unobstructed with dirt, mud, or other debris. Once the track has been rotated in both directions for a few minutes, lower the track and repeat the same procedure with the opposite track. 12. Operate the excavator normally but smoothly, avoiding shocks and jerky movements, as hydraulic hoses may burst when the outside ambient temperature is extremely low. Operators must be more careful as temperature goes down to the limit of –40°C. REMARKS: Continuous operation with low coolant temperature below +60°C can damage the engine. To increase coolant temperature switch on the heater blowers in the machinery house. Load the hydraulic system.

NOTICE TEMPERATURES BELOW -40°C! Operating the excavator at temperatures below -40°C can cause damage to the excavator. If during operation, the ambient temperature drops below 40°C, stop work, move the loader attachment to the correct parking position, shut down the engine and switch on the electrical preheating system.

TRAVEL ALARM / BACK-UP ALARM

(Special equipment) The excavator can be equipped with one of the above alarm systems. The back-up alarm will sound at reverse travel. The travel alarm will sound at forward and reverse travel.

3.12.2

TRAVELING INSTRUCTIONS

– Never travel the excavator without first making certain that no one will be endangered. – Be sure to sound the signal horn before starting to drive to make your intention clear. – Before traveling long distances slew the superstructure parallel to the undercarriage and apply the slew brake. – When traveling over inclines and gradients raise the working attachment only to such a height, that the bucket has sufficient ground clearance. – Do not travel crossways to slope. – Whenever possible operate the excavator with the sprockets to the rear in the direction of travel. – On steep terrain make sure that the final drives are at the rear in relation to travel direction. – Before traveling over a bridge find out whether its bearing capacity is sufficient for the operating weight of the excavator. – Check for sufficient clearance and use a spotter. – Pay attention to high voltage lines. On rough terrain observe movement of the boom. – Travel speed must conform to local conditions so that the excavator can be stopped at any time. – Change traveling direction only after the excavator is stopped. – In order to avoid damage to track rollers and links, never turn the undercarriage over ditches and troughs. – When working attachment is removed, the reduced stability of the excavator has to be considered during traveling or slewing and when basic boom is operated. The stability can be improved, when the final drives are positioned opposite to counterweight. – Observe permissible tilt angle of the Diesel engine when traveling uphill or downhill (superstructure must be in line with the undercarriage). REMARKS: Refer to Engine Operation Manual for the respective data.

3.12.2.2 TRAVELING LONG DISTANCES The maximum permissible operating temperature of traveling gear components is 60°C. In order to prevent the overheating of traveling gear components when traveling with the excavator over extended distances above 500m, observe the following precautions. 1. After traveling 500m, stop the excavator and check the temperature of the following components (see A on Fig. 3-68) : – Bottom rollers – Guide wheels – Top rollers – Travel park brake housing. 2. If the temperature of the components is within the permissible range, continue traveling for a further 500m. 3. Stop the excavator and check the temperature again, as the temperature has a tendency to develop. If the temperature of one of the components is near maximum, cool down to a temperature of at least 20°C below the maximum permitted 60°C. If the temperature of the components is within the permissible range, continue traveling for a further 500m. 4. Repeat the 500m stops and temperature measurements. 5. If the temperature of at least one of the above listed components is higher than 60°C, park the excavator for at least 10 minutes and cool down the components with water. 6. When the final destination of the excavator is reached, shut down the excavator and check the above listed components for leakages and other irregularities. 7. Take action as necessary. It is good practice to keep the attachment near to the excavator when traveling (center of gravity) and to make stationary turns rather than traveling a continuous curve (see B on Fig. 3-68). This practice reduces strain on traveling gear components.

STABILITY OF THE EXCAVATOR

WARNING CHECK SURROUNDING AREA FOR STABILITY! Unsafe ground may cause the excavator to tip over, causing serious injury or death. Before beginning work prepare a suitable excavator base to ensure adequate stability for safe working of the excavator.

The stability of the excavator is determined according to DIN 24087 “’Determination of the stability of Excavators’. The excavator must therefore be operated in such away, that it’s stability is always ensured and the danger of tipping over is avoided.

Fig. 3-77

When slewing the superstructure, take into account that the stability of the excavator is reduced when the superstructure (bucket) is turned in a 90° direction to the undercarriage.

Fig. 3-78

OMM 06372-D-EN-6T2-1.0

Version 2021/02


OPERATION

WORKING INSTRUCTIONS

A - Avoid working with the crawler tracks across a slope, as this reduces stability and increases the tendency for the excavator to slide or to tip over. B - Operation on a slope requires special care. Plan your work so that the excavator travels uphill and downhill parallel to the gradient. Do not turn on slopes. Always travel straight up or down a slope ensuring that the sprocket and travel system faces down the hill to the operator. C - The excavator’s stability is reduced when operating on a slope. If the excavator has to work on a slope, pile the loose earth to make a platform that will keep the excavator as horizontal as possible. Fig. 3-79

The illustration shows a few examples of operating and working conditions which can reduce the stability of the excavator: A - Overloading of the shovel (bucket overfilled). B - Ground conditions such as loose sand or wet soil (possibly from a cave in). C - Jerky acceleration or deceleration of working- and travel motions.

Fig. 3-80

A - Do not work below overhanging rocks or earth masses. B - Always keep a safe distance to the edge of an excavation where bank cave-ins are possible.

Fig. 3-81 –

When working with the loader attachment, switch-off the fast speed range (if equipped).

Do not jerk the operate control levers and always keep the shovel under control.

Know the shovel’s limits - and do not exceed them.

FURTHER OPERATING PRACTICES

DO NOT use the loader attachments to "sweep" an area in front of the shovel clean as this may result in severe damage on slew gear components.

Fig. 3-82

DO NOT use the bucket clam for loosening or removing anchored rocks or other solid objects since such operations may result in severe damage to the clam pivot bearings.

Fig. 3-83

When cleaning a facing slope, ensure the material is loose (blasted). If the slope is not loose, ensure that the shovel on the attachment does not scrape over protruding rocky outcrops which will cause the attachment to jerk downwards. Do not hammer on to protruding material. These actions will cause sever damage to the attachment components.

OPERATION

WORKING INSTRUCTIONS

Do not attempt to excavate hard and rocky ground with the working attachment. It is better to excavate it after breaking up by different means.

Fig. 3-85

Do not operate the hydraulic cylinders of the working attachment to the end of their strokes. This will bring excessive force onto the inner stoppers of the cylinders and will reduce the lifetime of the cylinders. To prevent this, move the control levers to neutral position before the cylinders reach their end of stroke.

Fig. 3-86

When working with the bucket in the longitudinal direction, the final drives should be in the rear position for the following reasons: – The travel motors and travel gears are protected from falling rocks etc. – When the shovel is operated on muddy ground and the tracks are covered with mud, the sprocket runs on a clean track when backing up.

WORKING INSTRUCTIONS

OPERATION

When working with the loader in a cross direction to the track group, be sure that the track is not raised off the ground. This can cause the track to dis-attach from the rollers when it is lowered down on the ground. Also the flanges of the track rollers and the track shoes can be bent by the excessive load.

Fig. 3-88

Do not use the dropping force of the shovel attachment for digging, or use the dropping force as a hammer or breaker. This will drastically reduce the life of the shovel.

FIRE DETECTION AND SUPPRESSION SYSTEM

FIRE DETECTION AND SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS

REMARKS: Contact certified Ansul Service for maintenance. The mining excavator is equipped with the following systems: –

CHECKFIRE SC-N ELECTRIC DETECTION AND ACTUATION SYSTEM

DRY CHEMICAL FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM LT-A-101

LIQUID AGENT FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM LVS

The CHECKFIRE SC-N system provides automatic fire detection and automatic or manual actuation of the fire suppression systems. If the CHECKFIRE SC-N system detects a fire it will automatically actuate the suppression systems in two steps. First the DRY CHEMICAL FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM LT-A-101 will be actuated and after a 20 second delay the LIQUID AGENT FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM LVS will be actuated. The dry chemical portion of the twin agent system is primarily responsible for the suppression. Although the LVS wet chemical solution is primarily intended for cooling, it can also aid in suppression by two means: –

The water content of the solution cools the fuel and the surroundings surface areas. Cooling the surrounding surface areas minimizes the change for reflash.

Forming a film over the fuel, which aids in securing against reflash.

WARNING THE FIRE SYSTEM MUST BE OPERABLE AT ALL TIMES! In the event of a fire, an inoperable fire detection and suppression system may lead to serious injury or death. Before operating the excavator, make sure the systems function correctly. Carry out inspection and maintenance according to the separate manuals CHECKFIRE SC-N ELECTRIC DETECTION AND ACTUATION SYSTEM and FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS in volume 2 Binder.

REMARKS: This section covers only such information necessary for the operator to understand operation of the fire detection and actuation system. Further information can be found in the separate manual filed in Vol. 2.

GENERAL INFORMATION TO SELECTING HYDRAULIC OILS

Hydraulic oil can be viewed as an essential excavator component and therefore constitutes careful and correct selection. General Information The make up of hydraulic oil can be broken down as so:Base oil + additives = hydraulic oil API Oil Categories Base oils can be made from mineral oils or synthetic oils. Type

Category

Refinery process

Viscosity index

Mineral

I

Solvent refined

80-120

II

Hydrotreated

80-120

III

Hydrocracked

>120

Synthetic

IV

Polyalphaolephins (PAOs)

V

All other base oils not included in groups I, II, III and IV

Additives There are a variety of additives that are added to the base oil when blending hydraulic oils. These serve definitive required purposes. –

Foaming resistance and air release

Thermal, oxidation and hydrolytic stability

Anti-wear performance

Filterability

Demulsibility (water release capabilities)

Rust and corrosion inhibition

Viscosity improvement

The range and difference of one hydraulic oil to the next could therefore be great, and the mixing of them in a hydraulic system could be potentially catastrophic to the hydraulic components. Example: Hydraulic oil 1 - Made up of a group II base oil (hydrotreated mineral oil) with a foam resistance additive, water separation capabilities and a zinc containing anti-wear additive. Hydraulic oil 2 - made up of a group IV base oil with a foam resistant additive, water separation capabilities, viscosity improvers and a zinc-free (ashless) anti-wear additive There may be reasons why these two examples of hydraulic oils may be incompatible. – The incompatibility of the mineral oil (group II) with the synthetic based oil (group IV) – The incompatibility of the anti-wear additives (zinc containing with zinc free) – Different anti-foam agents when mixed may actually contribute to an increase in foaming. – Different water separating characteristics may actually cause water to separate too much, leading to increased emulsion formation.

FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS

Conclusion The minimum requirement from Komatsu Germany is that the hydraulic oil must conform to DIN 51524 Part 2 (HLP) or part 3 (HVLP) and fulfill the viscosity requirements for the prevailing ambient temperature at the site of operation. We state that: –

Mixing of zinc containing with zinc-free (ashless) hydraulic oils is not allowed, even in small amounts.

Mixing of mineral based hydraulic oils with synthetic based hydraulic oils is not allowed.

It is essential that the customer queries the hydraulic oil producer to the compatibility and miscibility of hydraulic oils before changing or employing them in the hydraulic system of the excavator. All recommendations for miscibility and compatibility are entirely the responsibility of the lubricant manufacturer and for the implementation of those recommendations, entirely the responsibility of the customer using the guidelines given above by Komatsu Germany. Komatsu Germany will not accept liability for any damage to the hydraulic components resulting from the incorrect mixing of hydraulic fluids.

LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

4.6.1

INITIAL SERVICING

NOTICE INITIAL SERVICE! The initial service described here is of vital importance for proper operation and long service life of the excavator.

4.6.1.1

INITIAL RUNNING-IN

Check the functionality of the greasing systems. For the CLS greasing system, check the injectors and greasing points on the attachment, the carbody and the inner raceway of the slew circle. For the SLS greasing system, check the injectors for the flywheel of the teething of the slew gear. Regarding the slew circle, check the torque of the bolt connections and regarding the crawler carrier, retighten the mounting bolts. See page 4-28 for further information.

4.6.1.2

AFTER THE FIRST 250 OPERATING HOURS

Change oil in Slew gear, Travel gears and PTO (pump distributor gear). Thereafter every 3000 hours, but at least once a year. An oil sample analysis should be made every 1000 operating hours. Hydraulic system: Replace return oil filter elements and leakage oil filter element. Inspect return oil strainers. Thereafter every 1000 hours. REMARKS: During the initial 250 hours of operation, an increased amount of wear materials may collect on the return oil and leakage oil filter elements. This is a normal occurrence caused during the running-in of the excavator and does not effect the quality of the hydraulic oil or the operative capabilities of the hydraulic components. The tightening torques of all critical bolt connection, except the undercarriage to car body bolts and the slew circle mounting bolts, are to be checked after the initial 250 operating hours. Flexible coupling: Inspect visually, for further information refer to separate Manual CENTA Coupling filed in volume 2 binder.

4.6.1.3

AFTER THE FIRST 1000 OPERATING HOURS OR AFTER COMPONENT REPLACEMENT

Check tightening torque of critical bolt connections. Thereafter every 1000 hours. –

The mounting bolts of the left and right crawler carrier to the undercarriage carbody have to be retightened only after the first 1000 operating hours, see page 4-37 for retightening procedure.

The slew circle connection bolts need only to be checked after the first 1000 operating hours in accordance with PARTS&SERVICE NEWS No. AH00511.

The tightening torques of all critical bolt connections are to be checked after the initial 1000 operating hours.

All critical bolt connections are to be checked immediately in cases of unexpected impacts, collisions or when loosening is suspected (peeling paint on the screws or obvious signs of unscrewing). It is strongly recommended to use new bolts when attaching replacement components.

The hydraulic oil change intervals can be extended for a further time period, when an oil sample analysis shows a positive result. When extending the oil change interval, it is necessary to carry out an oil sample analysis after every 1000 operating hours. However, it is recommended to change the hydraulic oil after 6000 operating hours at the latest. The pulsation damper of the hydraulic oil cooler circuit must be replaced after every 2000 operating hours. REMARKS: Information to the Komatsu Germany recommended used oil limits can be found in the separate manual "Oil Analysis & Condition Monitoring" filed in the Operation & Maintenance Manual Volume 2 binder.

(5)

Perform inspections according to separate Manual CENTA Coupling filed in volume 2 binder.

(6)

All bolt connections should be lubricated with multi purpose grease (MPG - as found for example, in the CLS grease barrel) except the bolt connections for the slew ring and the carbody. These should be lubricated with the greasing procedures according to AH11507 ’ Bolted Undercarriage’ and AH00511 ’Procedures for Slew Circle’. Contact surfaces must be metallically blank and free of grease.

-

Sufficient lubrication will show a small collar of grease on the bearing points, especially on the attachment. On the slew circle grease points, sufficient lubrications will show a small collar of grease between the upper and lower body part of the excavator. This should be checked from inside. Check that all lines and joints to and from the injectors and the injectors themselves are attached correctly, are undamaged, and do not leak.

REMARKS: The Lubrication oil Pump for Pump Distributor Gear Lubrication should be replaced with a new pump after every 10000 OPERATING HOURS.

SAFETY CRITICAL PARTS

4.7.1

REPLACEMENT OF HYDRAULIC HOSE LINES AND FUEL HOSE LINES

Hydraulic hoses and fuel hoses are subjected to natural aging. Hence, their usable lifetime is limited to maximum 6 years.

NOTICE HYDRAULIC HOSE STORAGE! Hose lines considered as Safety Critical Parts have to be replaced earlier, see page 4-23 for more information. The maximum permissible storage time of hydraulic hoses and fuel hoses is 2 years. This storage period is part of the usable lifetime and must be considered when a new hose line is being installed. If, for example, a hose line with a one year storage time is to be installed, the remaining service life of the hose line is 5 years. All hose lines are marked with the date of production. All hydraulic hoses lines are marked with the date of production. All hydraulic hoses of the excavator have to be replaced after every 6 years at the latest, even if there is no visible damage.

WARNING REPLACE - DO NOT REPAIR! Repaired hydraulic hoses and fuel hoses are unsafe and can lead to serious injury due to high pressure oil or fuel. Replace all defective hoses using ONLY GENUINE Komatsu Germany replacement hose lines.

4.7.2

INSPECTION OF HOSE LINES

Inspect all hoses, hose lines and fittings during the course of the daily walk-around inspection. Check for leaks and damages. Replace damaged parts without delay. Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can cause serious injuries. Fuel and oil leaks can cause fires. Some examples of faults on hydraulic hoses and fuel hoses requiring replacement of the concerned part: –

Damage to the outer layer (e.g. chafed spots, cuts or scratches).

Brittle top layers. Flaws on the hose material

Distortion of the hose line (strong deviation from the original shape) under pressurized and pressureless conditions or when kinked or crushed, e.g. disintegration of hose layers or blistering.

Leaks

Detachment of hose and fitting. Damaged hose fitting.

4.7.3

SAFETY CRITICAL PARTS

PERIODIC REPLACEMENT OF FURTHER SAFETY CRITICAL PARTS

To ensure safety at all times when operating the excavator, the user of the excavator must always carry out periodic maintenance. In addition, to further improve safety, the user should also carry out periodic replacement of the parts given in the table. These parts are particularly closely connected to safety and fire prevention. With these parts, the material changes as time passes, or they easily wear or deteriorate. However, it is difficult to judge the condition of the parts simply by periodic maintenance, so they should always be replaced after a fixed time has passed, regardless of their condition. This is necessary to ensure that they always maintain their function completely. However, if these parts show any abnormality before the replacement interval has passed, they should be repaired or replaced immediately. If the hose clamps show any deterioration, such as deformation or cracking, replace the clamps at the same time as the hoses. When replacing the hoses, always replace the O-rings, gaskets, and other such parts at the same time. Ask your Komatsu distributor to replace safety critical parts.

WORKING ATTACHMENT - INITIAL CHECKS FOR PROPER LUBRICATION

The volume of injected grease is set to maximum in the factory. The pause time is set to 10 min (minimum setting). These settings are used for the initial (40 h) running-in time of the excavator. After 20 working hours, check the settings of the lubrication system and ensure all points of lubrication have a well balanced quantity of grease. Fine Adjusting the Pause Time and Injectors The amount of grease to be injected is dictated by the working environment and conditions. To fine adjust the injectors and the pause time, proceed as follows: 1.

Find the lubrication point (bearing seal or open bearing) with the lowest quantity of grease. This is the point of reference that will determine the following pause time setting.

2.

If any of the bearing points have too much grease, adjust the injectors gradually to lower the volume. Do this by rotating the output adjusting screw (2) a maximum of 1-2 turns clockwise. Wait at least 40 hours and observe lubricated areas. Care must be taken while turning the screw (2) as turning too much will block the movement of the injector.

3.

Reduce the quantity of grease by extending the pause time gradually, in steps of about 2-5 minutes, until only a small amount of fresh grease appears on the open bearing or bearing seal that is used as the reference point. Between each step, wait at least 40 hours while observing the lubricated areas daily.

NOTICE CHECK THE GREASE! Insufficient or inappropriate lubrication causes damage. Always operate the excavator with a sufficient amount and the recommended type of grease. If there is too little grease or the wrong type, correct this immediately.

REMARKS:

There are two types of grease injectors installed “SL1” and “SL11” injectors, see Fig. 4-2.

Visually check grease injectors and grease connections. Sufficient lubrication will show a small collar of grease on the bearing points. Check that all lines and joints to and from the injectors and the injectors themselves are attached correctly, are undamaged, and do not leak. See page 4-116 for information on inspecting and maintaining the grease injectors. Legend for Fig. 4-2

SLEW CIRCLE TOOTHING LUBRICATION

See Fig. 4-16 All teeth of the gear ring (3) must be completely covered with grease. If the teeth are not completely covered with grease, they have to be lubricated immediately using special adhesive spray grease, Fig. 4-16, or spread-type adhesive grease as specified in the parts catalogue. The spread type grease can be applied, for example, with a brush. Observe the instructions on the grease container for correct use of the lubricant. REMARKS: If the excavator is equipped with gear ring guard (6), remove covers (7) for slew circle teeth inspection. If the automatic lubrication system of the slew circle toothing fails to function for more thanone shift, lubricate manually (using spray grease) and remove the lube pinion (5), to prevent serious damage. In order to ensure proper adherence of the lubricant, clean and dry the ring gear prior to lubrication. In most cases it is sufficient to rotate the superstructure several times in order to move moisture from the gear teeth. Make sure that the multi-purpose grease of the slew circle bearing does not come in contact with the teeth of the slew circle because this will diminish lubrication capability of the slew circle teeth lubricant. If necessary remove excessive multi-purpose grease from the slew circle above the dust seal ring.

AIR CONDITIONING FOR OPERATOR’S CAB - CHECK REFRIGERANT LEVEL

Fig. 4-50: –

Switch on air conditioning equipment and run at maximum capacity for approx. 5 minutes.

Observe inspection glass (6). A refrigerant flow loaded with bubbles or foam indicates a lack of refrigerant. In this case well equipped refrigeration specialists must check the circuit for tightness and must add the missing quantity or refrigerant.

If more than 200 grams per year are lost, the oil level of the refrigerant compressor must also be checked. This is a special procedure and must be carried out by refrigeration specialists only. Isolated small bubbles in the inspection glass may be neglected. Even with an absolutely tight equipment a certain amount of refrigerant is lost through the walls of the hoses. Therefore a small annual replenishment of the refrigerant quantity is normal.

The dryer cartridge (5) must be replaced after every 1000 operating hours or once a year by refrigeration specialists.

Clean the filter mat of condenser blowers (8).

Clean or replace the filter mat in the evaporator (9). To clean the evaporator filter map, remove bolts on the RH side of the intake grid and open.

REMARKS: Servicing of the air conditioning systems is restricted to workshops especially equipped for this purpose. Refer to AH06521b for more information.

CHECK ADJUSTING RANGE OF GUIDE WHEELS

(Track retensioning range) GENERAL The hydraulic track tensioning system, Fig. 4-53 maintains the correct track tension automatically. The pilot pressure oil of the travel brake release circuit is used, to pressurize the four adjusting cylinders (10) and (11). The resulting force moves the guide wheels toward the front, until the correct track tension is obtained. External forces acting upon the guide wheels are absorbed through the pressure accumulators (8A) and (8B). Legend for Fig. 4-53 (1)

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE (PM) CLINIC - PERFORM TEST

NOTICE QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY! Preventative Maintenance is to be performed by Komatsu qualified personnel only.

For cost effective help in minimizing excavator downtime, the Preventative Maintenance (PM) Clinic Test is a tool that ensures the excavator is regularly checked before a failure can occur. PM Clinics are excavator-specific, comprehensive inspections where the individual test results are noted on a multi-sided chart which is designed to monitor the performance of the excavator. By monitoring key diagnostic measurements, such as engine speeds and hydraulic pressures, it is possible to track trends and make recommendations to enhance the excavator’s performance. (1) on Fig. 4-89 shows an example of a PM-Clinic as a ’BH’ Parts & Service News as it can be obtained your Komatsu distributor. This document describes the procedure for performing a Preventative Maintenance (PM) test and also provides the PM Data Sheets that are to be filled out with the values collected during the test. See (2) on Fig. 4-89. The test form can be used in two ways. It can be printed out (4) and the values manually entered during the test or it can be electronically used directly from a laptop computer. If it is manually filled out, the values should be transfered to the electronic version after the test has been completed. The PM Test can then be saved (5) to a file and emailed (6) directly to the Komatsu Germany Service Department. These options can be found on the last page (3) of the PM Clinic document.

FIRE PREVENTION

PRECAUTIONS

See Fig. 4-112 In order to prevent risks of possible fire break out observe the following items: 1. Keep the excavator clean, especially from flammable materials. Clean the excavator after servicing the hydraulic system, engine and fuel system by means of a steam jet. 2. Clean engine compartment, hydraulic pump compartment and service platform of the superstructure. Thereafter check fuel lines, engine oil lines and hydraulic oil lines for leakage, loose fastenings and damage. If any leakage, damage or loose fastening is found, corrective action must be taken immediately. 3. Check all electrical cables, terminals and connections for loose fastenings, damage and wear. Replace or repair defective or worn parts without delay. 4. Check the turbocharger for correct mounting and tight exhaust, intake and lube oil connections. Carry out all necessary repairs without delay. 5. On excavators equipped with a fire detection, actuation and suppression system: Refer to the manufacturers service manuals in volume 2 binder for correct maintenance and inspection of the systems. When checking the filling level of the dry chemical tanks, make sure that the extinguishing powder (Ansul FORAY dry chemical agent) is not compacted. Stir up the extinguishing powder with a suitable stick until it is in a free flowing condition.

NOTICE CARE WHEN CLEANING! When cleaning the power house take care the heat detection sensors do not come in contact with hot steam or other hot agent. Otherwise the fire suppression system may be triggered.

6. Make sure fire extinguishers are charged and ready for use. REMARKS: After cleaning lubricate all lubrication points by means of central lube system or manually. Lubricate slew circle gear after drying by means of the automatic lube system or manually.
