METHOD FOR OPERATIONS AND CHECKS AFTER STARTING ENGINE
WARNING
• If there has been any emergency stop, abnormal actuation or trouble, turn the starting switch key to
OFF position.
• If the work equipment is operated without sufficient warming-up operation of the machine, response
of the work equipment to movement of the control lever will be slow, and the work equipment may
not respond as the operator desires, so always perform the warming-up operation. Particularly in a
cold weather, be sure the warm-up operation is completed.
• If the machine is operated without sufficient warming-up operation, sensors may break because of
frozen AdBlue/DEF tank.
METHOD FOR CHECKING STARTING CONDITION AND UNUSUAL NOISE OF
ENGINE
• When starting the engine, check that the engine causes no abnormal noise and that it starts up easily and
smoothly.
• Check that there is no abnormal noise when the engine is idling or when the engine speed rises slightly.
When there is an abnormal noise at the engine startup and if that condition continues, the engine may be dam-
aged. In that case, ask your Komatsu distributor to check the engine as soon as possible.
METHOD FOR CHECKING LOW-SPEED RUN AND ACCELERATION OF ENGINE
CAUTION
• Perform these checks in a safe place, watching out for danger in the surroundings.
•
When the engine performs very badly at low idle and in the acceleration and if that condition contin-
ues, it may damage the engine or confuse the operator's sense of driving or lower the braking effi-
ciency, and as a result lead to an unexpected accident. In that case, ask your Komatsu distributor to
check the engine as soon as possible.
• When stopping the machine during the normal traveling operation, check that the engine does not hunt or
stop suddenly.
• Check that the engine speed rises smoothly when the fuel control dial is turned to High idle (MAX) position.
REMARK
• The smell of the exhaust gas is different from that of the conventional diesel engine because of the exhaust
gas filtering function.
• White smoke may be discharged for a short time immediately after the engine is started or during the KDPF
regeneration in the cold season, but this is not a failure.
