5. Remove cap screws (4, Figure 3-3) and lock-
nuts (5) from each pivot pin.
6. Remove body pivot pins (6) far enough to allow
shims (9) to drop out. Complete removal is not
necessary unless a new pin is to be installed.
7. Lift dump body clear of the chassis and move to
storage or work area. Block the body to prevent
damage to the body guide etc.
8. Inspect bushings (8, 11, and 12) for excessive
wear or damage. Replace as required.
Installation
Inspect all lifting devices. Slings, chains, and/or
cables used for lifting components must be
inspected daily for serviceable condition. Refer
to the manufacturer's manual for correct capaci-
ties and safety procedures when lifting compo-
nents. Replace any questionable items.
Slings, chains, and/or cables used for lifting
components must be rated to supply a safety fac-
tor of approximately 2X the weight being lifted.
When in doubt as to the weight of components or
any assembly procedure, contact the Komatsu
area representative for further information.
Lifting eyes and hooks should be fabricated from
the proper materials and rated to lift the load
being placed on them.
Never stand beneath a suspended load. Use of
guy ropes are recommended for guiding and
positioning a suspended load.
Before raising or lifting the body, be sure there is
adequate clearance between the body and over-
head structures or electric power lines.
Be sure that the lifting device is rated for at least
a 45 ton capacity.
1. Park truck on a hard, level surface and block all
the wheels.
2. Attach cables and a lifting device to the dump
body and take up the slack as shown in Figure
3-1. Lower the body over the truck frame and
align the body pivots with the frame pivot holes.
3. Install shims (9, Figure 3-3) in both body pivots,
as required, to fill the outside gaps and center
the body on the frame pivot. Do not install
shims at the inside.
NOTE: A minimum of 1 shim is required at the
outside end of both frame pivots.
