Adjustment; Body Guide; Body-Up Retention Cable - Komatsu 830E Shop Manual

Adjustment

1. Vehicle must be parked on a flat, level surface for
inspection.
2. All pads, except the rear pad on each side, should
contact the frame with approximately equal com-
pression of the rubber.
3. A gap of approximately 0.06 in. (1.5 mm) is re-
quired at each rear pad. This can be accom-
plished by using one less shim at each rear pad.
4. If pad contact appears to be unequal, repeat the
above procedure.
Proper body pad to frame contact is required to
assure maximum pad life.

BODY GUIDE
1. Body guide wear points should be inspected each
time a body pad inspection is performed. (Refer
to Figure 3-5.) The body guide should be centered
between the wear plates (3), with a maximum gap
of 0.19 in. (4.8 mm) at each side when new.
2. If gap becomes excessive, replacement parts
should be installed. (Refer to the Parts Catalog.)

BODY-UP RETENTION CABLE

Any time personnel are required to perform main-
tenance on the vehicle with the dump body in the

body to its maximum height. (Refer to Figure 3-6.)

the body and install between the Rear Body Ear
