CHECK OIL LEVEL IN POWER TRAIN CASE, ADD OIL
WARNING
The parts and oil are at high temperature after the engine
is stopped, and may cause serious burns. Wait for the tem-
perature to go down before starting the operation.
1. Open cover on the right side of the machine.
2. Remove dipstick (G), and wipe the oil off with a cloth.
3. Fully insert dipstick (G) into filler pipe (F), then remove it.
4. The oil level should be between the (H) and (L) marks on
dipstick (G).
If the oil level is below the (L) mark, add oil through oil filler
(F).
5. If the oil level is above the H mark, remove cover (1) on the
bottom of the machine.
Loosen drain plug (P), drain the excess oil, then check the
oil level again.
6. If the oil level is correct, insert dipstick (G) fully into the dip-
stick guide again.
REMARK
If the machine is at an angle, reposition it to level before check-
ing.
When checking the oil level after the engine has been oper-
ated, allow the engine to cool for 15 minutes before checking.
CHECK ELECTRIC WIRING
CAUTION
If the circuit breakers are activated and the fuses are blown frequently or there is a trace of short-circuit-
ing in the wirings, check the cause immediately and either correct it by yourself or call your Komatsu dis-
tributor for the repair.
Keep the top surface of the battery clean and check the breather hole in the battery cap. If it is clogged
with dirt or dust, wash the battery cap to clear the breather hole.
Check that the circuit breakers are in normal condition (with the red button pushed in), that the fuses have no dam-
age and fuses of the specified capacity are in use and that there is no trace of disconnection or short-circuiting in
the wirings and no damage in the covers. Moreover check the terminals for loosening and retighten loosened one,
if any.
Be particularly careful to check the wiring for the battery, starting motor, and alternator.
In addition, if any flammable material is accumulated around the battery, remove it.
For repairs or investigation of the cause, please contact your Komatsu distributor.
