MAINTENANCE

MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE

CHECK, CLEAN AND LUBRICATE CAB SLIDE DOOR RAIL AND ROLLER

Checking

When opening or closing the slide door, it may sometimes not slide
smoothly due to mud stuck to the rail. In that case clean and
lubricate slide door rail (1) and roller (2) at three points.

Cleaning

1. Open and close the door, and use a brush to remove any dirt from rail (1).
2. Use a cloth to wipe off any dirt from rail (1).

Greasing

NOTICE
Do not use high-viscosity oil for the lubricant. Use grease only.

1. Spray rail (1) and roller (2) thoroughly with lubricant.
2. After spraying with lubricant, slide the door and check that the door opens and closes smoothly.

If the movement is not smooth, contact your Komatsu distributor for repair.
