Automatic Idling Setting System (AISS)
This system facilitates quick engine warm-up and cab cool-
ing/warming. When setting the system ON, engine idle
speed is kept at 945 rpm when coolant temper-
ature is
50°C
122°F or lower. Speed automati-
cally returns to 750 rpm when coolant tempera-
ture reaches
50°C
122°F.
Hydraulically controlled wet multiple-disc brakes
and retarder
Wet multiple-disc brakes ensures highly reliable and stable
brake performance. The large-capacity, continuously
cooled, wet multiple-disc brakes also function as a highly
responsive retarder which gives the operator greater
confidence at higher
speeds when travel-
ling downhill.
Auto Retard Speed Control (ARSC)
(Option)
ARSC allows the operator to simply set the downhill travel
speed and go down slopes at a constant speed. As a
result, the operator can concentrate on steering. The speed
can be set at increments of
1 km/h
0.6 MPH per click (
±5
km/h
3.1 MPH of setting speed adjustment) to match the
optimum speed for the slope. Also, since the retarder
cooling oil temperature is always monitored, the speed is
automatically lowered.

(Option)
PLM II allows the production volume and the working
conditions on the dump truck to be analyzed and controlled
directly via a personal computer. The system can store up
to 2900 working cycles.
Small turning radius
The MacPherson strut type front suspension has a special
A-frame between each wheel
and the main frame. The
wider space created
between the front wheels
and the main frame
increases the turning
angle of the wheels. The
larger this turning angle,
the smaller the turning
radius of the truck.

7-speed, fully automatic K-ATOMiCS transmission
The K-ATOMiCS (Komatsu Advanced Transmission with
Optimum Modulation Control
System) automatically
selects the optimum gear
according to vehicle speed,
engine speed and the shift
position you’ve chosen. The
result: the best gear for any
driving situation.

High performance Komatsu SAA6D140E-5 engine
This engine delivers faster acceleration and higher
travel speeds with high horsepower per ton. Advanced
technology, such as Common Rail Injection system (CRI),
air to air aftercooler, efficient turbo-charger, and heavy duty
cooled EGR enables the engine to be North American EPA
Tier 3 and EU Stage 3A emission certified. High torque at
low speed, impressive acceleration, and low fuel consump-
tion ensure maximum productivity.
Komatsu develops and produces all major components,
such as engines, electronics and hydraulic components,
in house.
With this “Komatsu Technology,” and adding customer
feedback, Komatsu is achieving greate advancements
in technology.
To achieve both high levels of productivity and economical
performance, Komatsu has developed the main compo-
nents with a total control system.
The result is a new generation of high performance and
environment friendly machines.
Mode selection system
The system allows selection of the appropriate mode
between two modes <Power mode > or <Economy mode>
according to each working condition. The mode is easily
selected with a switch in the operator’s cab.
Power mode
Great productivity can be attained by taking full advantage
of high output power. It is appropriate for job sites where
larger production uphill-hauling is required.
Economy mode (Variable horsepower control)
The engine power automatically changes depending on
loaded or unloaded conditions always to use an optimum
speed gear. It is appropriate for light work on flat ground.
Long wheelbase and wide tread
With an extra-long wheelbase, a wide tread and an excep-
tionally low center of gravity, the HD325-7 hauls the load at
higher speed for greater productivity, and delivers superior
driving comfort over rough terrain.
Large body
A wide target area makes for easy loading with minimal soil
spillage and more efficient hauling. The V-shape design
also increases structural strength, and provides excellent
load stability.
