METHOD FOR CHECKING FUNCTION OF BRAKE ACCUMULATOR
For handling of the accumulator, see “HANDLE ACCUMULATOR AND GAS SPRING (2-40)”.
If the engine stops during travel, the brake can be operated with the oil pressure in the accumulator temporarily.
1.
Park the machine on a level ground and lower the work equipment to the ground.
2.
Apply the parking brake.
3.
Start the engine and run it at medium speed for 1 minute and then stop it.
4.
Turn the starting switch to ON position and repeat depressing the brake pedal.
• If the brake oil pressure caution lamp does not light up when the brake pedal is depressed 6 times, the
gas pressure in the accumulator is normal.
• If the brake oil pressure caution lamp lights up when the brake pedal is depressed 5 times or less, the
gas pressure in the accumulator may be low. Ask your Komatsu distributor for inspection.
REMARK
The inspection must be done within 5 minutes after the engine stops. If the engine is kept stopped, the gas
pressure in the accumulator lowers and the inspection cannot be made.
EVERY 500 HOURS MAINTENANCE
Maintenance for every 50, 100 and 250 hours should be performed at the same time.
