After Daily Work Completion - Komatsu PC15MRX-1 Operation And Maintenance Manual

OPERATION

AFTER DAILY WORK COMPLETION

Performing idle-running of the tracks is dangerous, so stay well away from the tracks.
After completion of operations, fill the fuel tank to prevent the formation of water caused by conden-
sation of moisture in the empty space in the tank when the temperature goes down.
To prevent mud, water, or the undercarriage from freezing and making it impossible for the machine to move on
the following morning, always observe the following precautions.
Mud and water on the machine body should be completely removed. This is to prevent damage to the seal
caused by mud or dirt getting inside the seal with frozen drops of water.
Park the machine on hard, dry ground.
If this is impossible, park the machine on wooden boards.
The boards help protect the tracks from being frozen in soil and the machine can start next morning.
Open the drain valve and drain any water collected in the fuel system to prevent it from freezing.
After operation in water or mud, remove water from undercarriage as described below to extend undercarriage
service life.
