OPERATION MACHINE OPERATIONS AND CONTROLS WORKS OF CUTTING INTO HARD OR FROZEN GROUND OR DITCH For digging and ditch excavation of hard or frozen ground, tilt the blade. Even hard ground can be dug effectively by a tilted or angled blade. If the ground is harder, use a ripper attachment for better effi- ciency.
MACHINE OPERATIONS AND CONTROLS OPERATION EFFECTIVE USE OF RIPPER • The optimum digging angle for the shank is when the shank is tilted back for approximately 5 ° to the ground (rip- ping angle: 45 to 50 °). • The ripper can dig rocks even if the shank is tilted out (rip- per point tip angle is large), if they are relatively soft (elas- tic wave 1500 m/s or less).

MACHINE OPERATIONS AND CONTROLS OPERATION Operate the pin puller switch and insert the installation pin. If the shank hole position does not match to the pin, turn the pin puller switch to PUSH position (2) and move the ripper up and down slowly. REMARK When raising the pin position and digging deep, use the long protector to prevent wear of the shank.

OPERATION MACHINE OPERATIONS AND CONTROLS Operate the ripper control lever to tilt the ripper, and break and dig up the boulder. If you cannot break and dig up the boulder by tilting opera- tion, tilt back the shank while traveling forward a little, and then dig up by tilting operation.
MACHINE OPERATIONS AND CONTROLS OPERATION • If the machine is steered during ripping, the shank may be broken. Before steering, pull the shank out of the ground. • Never travel the machine in reverse while ripper point (1) is in the rock-bed. The pin mounting point (1) will break and point (1) will fall off.

Perform sampling at regular fixed intervals. • Do not perform sampling on rainy or windy days when water or dust can get into the oil. For further details of KOWA, contact your Komatsu distributor. STORE OIL AND FUEL • Keep oil and fuel indoors to prevent any water, dirt, or other impurities from getting in.
Komatsu recommends installing electric components specified by Komatsu. • External electro-magnetic interference may cause malfunction of the control system controller. Accordingly, consult your Komatsu distributor before installing a radio receiver or other wireless equipment to the ma- chine. • When working at the seashore, keep the electrical component clean to prevent corrosion.

• Do not hit or roll it, or subject it to any impact. • When disposing of it, the gas must be released. Ask your Komatsu distributor to have this work per- formed. NOTICE If the nitrogen gas charge pressure in the accumulator is low and operations are continued, it becomes impossible to release the remaining pressure inside the hydraulic circuit if a failure occurs on the ma- chine.
Page 383
MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE Set the parking brake lever to LOCK position (L). Raise the work equipment (blade) to the upper limit. Perform the procedure 4 to 6 within 15 seconds. Since the accumulator pressure decreases gradually after the engine stops, you can release only just after the engine stops.
If the work equipment does not go down or stops in midway, the charged pressure of the gas in the accumulator for the hydraulic circuit has probably dropped. Ask your Komatsu distributor for inspection. After completion of the inspection, set the work equipment lock lever to LOCK position and turn the starting switch to OFF position.
