OPERATION MACHINE OPERATIONS AND CONTROLS AUTO-DIGGING The auto-digging system controls the tilting operation of the bucket automatically to facilitate bucket operation and reduce the fatigue of the operator. When operating, see “DIGGING WORK (3-223)”. METHOD FOR AUTO-DIGGING While driving the machine forward, lower the bucket edge to height (a) of 30 cm or less above the ground.
If the machine is not stopped by depressing the brake pedal, use the parking brake to stop the machine. NOTICE If the parking brake was used as a secondary brake, ask your Komatsu distributor to inspect the park- ing brake system for any trouble.
• The most suitable tire pressure and travel speed differ according to the tire type and condition of the travel surface. Consult your Komatsu distributor or tire dealer. • The following shows the appropriate tire pressure and travel speed when the machine is equipped with standard tires and runs on the paved surface.
Page 292
MACHINE OPERATIONS AND CONTROLS OPERATION • Level the job site constantly and remove any fallen rocks. • 1st or 2nd gear speed is recommended for scooping stock piles and 1st gear speed for blasted rocks. When lowering the bucket while driving the machine for- ward, stop the bucket once at height (a), a position approx- imately 30 cm from the ground, then lower it further slowly.
Page 293
OPERATION MACHINE OPERATIONS AND CONTROLS Check that enough material is loaded into the bucket, then operate the bucket control lever to repeat tilting back the bucket and load the bucket fully. If the bucket edge is moved up and down while digging with the bucket by using rim pull, the front tires will come off the ground and this will cause the tire slippage.
Page 294
MACHINE OPERATIONS AND CONTROLS OPERATION While driving the machine forward, tilt the boom control lever slightly forward to dig bit by bit as earth and sand are peeled off. Keep on driving the machine forward while adjusting the digging depth by using the boom control lever. When you perform digging by use of the bucket, avoid ap- plying the digging force only to one side of the bucket.
Page 295
OPERATION MACHINE OPERATIONS AND CONTROLS LOAD-AND-CARRY OPERATION WARNING • When carrying a load, lower the bucket to lower the center of gravity of the machine and drive. • If the ECSS switch is turned to ON position during travel or with the work equipment raised, the machine starts moving instantly.

MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE METHOD FOR CHECKING AIR CLEANER NOTICE The electric air cleaner clogging sensor and dust indicator are used to indicate clogging on the air cleaner. The electric air cleaner clogging sensor indicates the cleaning timing of the air cleaner element and the dust indicator indicates the level of clogging.
Page 382
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE MAINTENANCE Open inspection cover (1) of air cleaner on the right side of machine, and lock it. Remove clips (2) (6 places) and remove cover (3). Hold the outer element (4), rock it lightly up and down and to the right and left, and pull the outer element (4) out while turning it to the right or left.
Page 383
MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE 10. Blow dry compressed air (Max. 0.2 MPa {2.1 kg/cm }) from the inside of the outer element along the pleats. 11. Blow along the pleats from the outside, then blow again from the inside. 12. After cleaning the outer element, illuminate the inside of the element with an electric bulb to check.
Page 384
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE MAINTENANCE 19. Press the button of the dust indicator and return the yellow piston. If the air cleaner clogging caution lamp lights up or the yel- low piston reaches the red line (7.5 kPa {0.076 kg/cm immediately after the cleaning of the outer element, re- place the inner and outer elements with new ones.
Page 385
MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE If any dust is attached to vacuator valve (7) installed to cover (3), remove it. Check that the lip of vacuator valve (7) has no crack. If there is any crack, replace it with a new one. Remove inner element (5), and then quickly install the new inner element.
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.
Page 387
When handling the cooling water containing coolant that has been drained during changing the coolant or repairing the 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.
Page 388
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE MAINTENANCE Check that the coolant temperature is low enough to make it possible to touch the radiator cap surface by bare hand, turn radiator cap (2) slowly until it hits the stopper, and re- lease the pressure. Then, while pushing radiator cap (2), turn it until it touches the stopper, and remove it.
MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE 16. Drain the coolant in reservoir tank (6). 17. Clean the inside of reservoir tank. 18. Add Non-Amine Engine Coolant (AF-NAC) to the middle between FULL and LOW. 19. Stop the engine. 20. Approximately 3 minutes later, add Non-Amine Engine Coolant (AF-NAC) up to the mouth of the coolant filler port.
