Grease
z
Grease is used to prevent twisting and noise at the joints.
z
This construction equipment is used under heavy-duty con-
ditions. Always use the recommended grease and follow the
change intervals and recommended ambient temperatures
given in this Operation and Maintenance Manual.
z
The nipples not included in the maintenance section are nip-
ples for overhaul, so they do not need grease.
When using the machine after it has been in storage for a
long time, carry out greasing if there is any stiffness or
screeching.
z
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.
Carrying out KOWA (KOMATSU Oil Wear Analysis)
KOWA is a maintenance service that makes it possible to pre-
vent machine failures and downtime. With KOWA, the oil is peri-
odically sampled and analyzed. This enables early detection of
wear of the machine drive parts and other abnormalities.
We strongly recommend you to use this service. The oil analysis
is carried out at actual cost, so the cost is low, and the results of
the analysis are reported together with recommendations which
will reduce repair costs and machine downtime.
Periodic use of KOWA makes the following possible:
z
It enables abnormalities to be detected early, leading to
reduction of repair costs and machine downtime.
z
It enables repair schedules to be planned, leading to
improved machine availability.

Analysis of metal wear particles
This uses an ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma) analyzer to
measure the density of metal wear particles in the oil.
