element or a power cable, the engine and all
warning lights must be off.

Engine Stop Procedure Prior To Maintenance

Perform the following procedure prior to maintenance


to ensure that no hazardous voltages are present in
the AC drive system.
1. Before turning off the engine, verify the status
of all the drive system warning lights on the
overhead display panel. Use the lamp test
switch to verify that all lamps are functioning
properly.
2. If all red drive system warning lights are off,
turn the engine off.
3. After the engine has been off for at least five
minutes, inspect the link voltage lights. The
lights are located on the exterior of the main
control cabinet and back wall of the operator's
cab (DID panel). If all lights are off, the retard-
ing grids, wheel motors, alternator, and power
cables connecting these devices are safe to
work on.

7. Install accurate pressure gauges at the follow-
ing locations:
• Pressure test port “TP3” (4, Figure 6-1) on the
bleed down manifold - 35 000 kPa (5,000 psi).
• Pressure test port (1, Figure 6-2) for the front
brake cooling circuit - 3 450 kPa (500 psi).
• Pressure test ports (2, Figure 6-2) on both high
pressure hoist filters - 24 000 kPa (3,500 psi).
• Pressure test port (1, Figure 6-3) for the rear
brake cooling circuits - 3 450 kPa (500 psi).
• Pressure test port “GPA” (2, Figure 6-4) located
on the steering pump - 35 000 kPa (5,000 psi).

If any hydraulic pressure is detected on the pres-


sure gauge installed at TP3, there is residual oil
pressure in the system. Do not loosen or remove
any hydraulic hoses, fittings or components. The
steering accumulators have not been properly
depressurized. Locate and correct the depressur-
ization problem. Always relieve all hydraulic
pressure before disconnecting any hydraulic
lines or fittings. Always tighten all connections
securely before applying pressure. Confirm that
the steering pressure is released by turning the
steering wheel. No steering movement should
occur.

correct hardness. Refer to the appropriate parts book for the correct part number.

The use of dry threads in this application is not recommended. Due to the high tightening force that is
required to install the wheel motor mounting cap screws, dry threads may cause damage to tools, cap
screws or the rear axle housing.

Komatsu does not recommend the use of special friction-reducing lubricants, such as Copper Coat,
Never-Seez® or other similar products, on the threads of standard fasteners where standard torque values
are applied. The use of special friction-reducing lubricants will significantly alter the clamping force during
the tightening process. If a special friction-reducing lubricant is used, excessive stress and possible
breakage of the fasteners may result.

94. Select the hardware to be installed in Group 1 of the tightening sequence. Refer to Figure 6-69.
95. Inspect each cap screw for rust, corrosion and surface defects on any seat or thread. Do not use any cap
screw if a defect is suspected.
96. Lubricate the cap screw threads, cap screw head seats and washer faces with a lithium based grease con-
taining 5% molybdenum-disulphide.

NOTE: The special hardened washers that are used in this


application may have a punch lip on one side due to the
manufacturing process. When placing this washer under
the cap screw head, the washers must be installed with the
punch lip facing away from the cap screw head to prevent
damage to the fillet between the cap screw head and the
shank. Refer to Figure 6-68.

97. Install the hardware for Group 1. Tighten each cap screw to 542 N•m (400 ft lb).
98. Repeat steps 94 - 96 for each remaining group in the tightening sequence. Refer to Figure 6-69.

Install and tighten all of the hardware in a group before proceeding to the next group in the tightening
sequence. Remove the guide pins that were installed in step 92 when installing the hardware for Groups 3
and 4.

99. After all of the hardware in all of the groups has been installed and tightened to 542 N•m (400 ft lb), move
back to Group 1. Increase the torque on each cap screw in Group 1 to 2 006 N•m (1,480 ft lb). Repeat this
step for each remaining group in the tightening sequence. Refer to Figure 6-69.

FINAL ASSEMBLY

• Inspect all lifting devices. Slings, chains, and cables used for lifting components must be inspected
daily for serviceable condition. Refer to the manufacturer’s guidelines for correct capacities and safety
procedures when lifting components. Replace any questionable items.
• Slings, chains and cables used for lifting must be rated for approximately two times the intended load.
• When in doubt as to the weight of components or any assembly procedure, contact your customer
support manager for further information.
• Lifting eyes and hooks must be fabricated from the proper materials and rated to lift the intended load.
• Never stand beneath a suspended load. Guy ropes are recommended for guiding and positioning a
suspended load.
• Before lifting the body, ensure there is adequate clearance between the body and overhead structures
or electric power lines.

FIGURE 8-1.

1. Body welding and chassis assembly must be completed before proceeding.


Before the body is lifted off the ground, tie guy ropes to each of the four corners of the body for aiding in instal-
lation.
There are two methods of installing the body depending on the cranes available.
a. If the truck is operational and can be driven, two 50 ton cranes can be used, one positioned at either side
of the body. The body can then be lifted high enough to allow the truck to be reverse propelled under the
body. Refer to Figures 8-1, 8-2 and 8-3.
b. If a large crane of approximately 150 ton is available, the body can be lifted over the chassis and installed
in a similar fashion to that in Step a.

instructions, cautions, and warnings provided in
the following procedures to prevent any
accidents during oiling and charging.

Proper charging of Hydrair II suspensions requires


that three basic conditions be established in the
following order:
1. Oil level must be correct.
2. Suspension piston rod extension for nitrogen
charging must be correct.
3. Nitrogen charge pressure must be correct.
For best results, Hydrair II suspensions should be
