CHECKS AND ADJUSTMENT BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
METHOD FOR WALK-AROUND CHECK
Walk around the machine and look at the underside of chassis for anything unusual like loose bolts and nuts,
leakage of fuel, oil and coolant before starting the engine. Also check the condition of the work equipment and
the hydraulic system.
Check also for loose wiring, play of wiring, and accumulation of dust in places that get very hot and are exposed
to extremely high temperatures.

WARNING
• Put the warning tag on the gear shift lever.
• Clean any flammable materials that accumulate around the machine in areas such as exhaust sys-
tem, battery, cooling system.
• Repair and clean any fuel and oil leaks. If there are any defects, consult your Komatsu distributor.
• Allow lamps to cool to touch before you perform maintenance.
If the machine is inclining, make it level before checking.
Always perform the following inspections and cleaning every day before starting the engine for the day's work.
1.
Check the dump body, frame, tires, cylinders, linkage, and hoses for cracks or excessive wear or play.
Check the dump body, frame, tires, cylinders, linkage, and hoses for cracks or excessive wear or play, and
perform the repairs if any problem is found.
2.
Remove dirt and debris from around the engine, battery, radiator, and aftercooler.
Check that there is no dirt or dust accumulated around the engine, radiator or aftercooler. Check also that
there is no combustible material (dry leaves, twigs, etc.) accumulated around the battery, or muffler, turbo-
charger, or other high-temperature parts of the engine. Remove any dirt or combustible materials that are
found.
3.
Check around the engine for coolant and oil leakage.
Check for oil leakage from the engine and coolant leakage from the cooling system. If any problem is found,
repair it.
4.
Check the fuel line for leakage.
Check for leakage of fuel or damage to the hoses and tubes. If any problem is found, repair it.
5.
Check DEF line for leakage.
Check DEF tank, pump, injector, and hoses and their connections for leakage. If any problem is found, ask
your Komatsu distributor for repair.
6.
Remove dirt from around the aftertreatment devices.
Check for dirt and combustible materials (dry leaves, twigs, etc.) accumulated around the aftertreatment de-
vices. If any dirt or combustible materials are found, remove them.
7.
Check around the aftertreatment devices for exhaust gas leakage.
Check the pipe connecting the turbocharger to the aftertreatment devices and also KDPF connections for
leakage of exhaust gas (and deposition of soot).
If any problem is found, ask your Komatsu distributor for repair.
8.
Check the hose to KCCV and the oil drain hose.
Check the hose to the KCCV and the oil drain hose for breakage and leakage.
If there is breakage or leakage, the emission standards are not satisfied. Ask your Komatsu distributor for
repair.
9.
Check around SCR for exhaust gas leakage.
