B03025 Dump Body B3-3
DUMP BODY
Removal
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. Connect cables and lifting device to
the dump body and take up the slack as shown
in Figure 3-1.
2. Remove mud flaps and rock ejectors from both
sides of the body. Remove electrical cables,
lubrication hoses etc. attached to the body.
3. Attach chains around upper end of hoist cylin-
ders to support them after the mounting pins
are removed.
4. Remove pin retainer cap screw and locknut (4,
Figure 3-2) from each of the upper hoist cylin-
der mounting eyes. With adequate means of
supporting the hoist cylinders in place, remove
both pins (2).
