Safety notice 1 (Rev. 2006/09)

Important safety notice
Proper service and repair are extremely important for safe machine operation. The service and repair
techniques recommended by Komatsu and described in this manual are both effective and safe.
Some of these techniques require the use of tools specially designed by Komatsu for the specific
purpose.
To prevent injury to workers, the symbol k is used to mark safety precautions in this manual. The
cautions accompanying these symbols should always be followed carefully. If any dangerous situa-
tion arises or may possibly arise, first consider safety, and take the necessary actions to deal with
the situation.

4. Precautions for sling work and making

signs
1) Only one appointed worker must make
signs and co-workers must communicate
with each other frequently. The appointed
sign maker must make specified signs
clearly at a place where he is seen well
from the operator's seat and where he can
see the working condition easily. The sign
maker must always stand in front of the
load and guide the operator safely.

8. Precautions for disconnecting and con-

necting hoses and tubes in air conditioner
circuit
1) Disconnection
k Collect the air conditioner refrigerant
gas (R134a).
k If the refrigerant gas (R134a) gets in
your eyes, you may lose your sight.
Accordingly, when collecting or adding
it, you must be qualified for handling
the refrigerant and put on protective
goggles.
2) Connection
1] When installing the air conditioner cir-
cuit hoses and tubes, take care that
dirt, dust, water, etc. will not enter
them.
2] When connecting the air conditioner
hoses and tubes, check that O-rings
(1) are fitted to their joints.
3] Check that each O-ring is not dam-
aged or deteriorated.
4] When connecting the refrigerant pip-
ing, apply compressor oil for refriger-
ant (R134a) (DENSO: ND-OIL8,

Explanation of terms for maintenance standard 1

The maintenance standard values necessary for judgment of products and parts are described by the follow-
ing terms.
1. Standard size and tolerance

q To be accurate, the finishing size of parts
is a little different from one to another.
q To specify a finishing size of a part, a tem-
porary standard size is set and an allow-
able difference from that size is indicated.
q The above size set temporarily is called
the “standard size” and the range of differ-
ence from the standard size is called the
“tolerance”.
q The tolerance with the symbols of + or – is
indicated on the right side of the standard
size.
Example:
Standard size Tolerance
–0.022
120
–0.126
a The tolerance may be indicated in the text

and a table as [standard size (upper limit
of tolerance/lower limit of tolerance)].
Example) 120 (–0.022/–0.126)
q Usually, the size of a hole and the size of

the shaft to be fitted to that hole are indi-
cated by the same standard size and dif-
ferent tolerances of the hole and shaft.
The tightness of fit is decided by the toler-
ance.

difference (B) between the maximum size
of the shaft and the minimum size of the
hole is the “standard interference”.
q After repairing or replacing some parts,
measure the size of their hole and shaft
and check that the interference is in the
standard range.
4. Repair limit and allowable value

q The size of a part changes because of
wear and deformation while it is used. The
limit of changed size is called the “repair
limit”.
q If a part is worn to the repair limit must be
replaced or repaired.
q The performance and function of a prod-
uct lowers while it is used. A value below
which the product can be used without
causing a problem is called the “allowable
value”.
q If a product is worn to the allowable value,
it must be checked or repaired. Since the
permissible value is estimated from vari-
ous tests or experiences in most cases,
however, it must be judged after consider-
ing the operating condition and customer's
requirement.

Handling electric equipment and hydraulic component 1

To maintain the performance of the machine over a long period, and to prevent failures or other troubles
before they occur, correct “operation“, “maintenance and inspection“, “troubleshooting“, and “repairs” must
be carried out. This section deals particularly with correct repair procedures for mechatronics and is aimed at
improving the quality of repairs. For this purpose, it gives sections on “Handling electric equipment” and
“Handling hydraulic equipment” (particularly gear oil and hydraulic oil).
Points to remember when handling electric

equipment
1. Handling wiring harnesses and connectors
Wiring harnesses consist of wiring connecting
one component to another component, con-
nectors used for connecting and disconnecting
one wire from another wire, and protectors or
tubes used for protecting the wiring.
Compared with other electrical components fit-
ted in boxes or cases, wiring harnesses are
more likely to be affected by the direct effects
of rain, water, heat, or vibration. Furthermore,
during inspection and repair operations, they
are frequently removed and installed again, so
they are likely to suffer deformation or damage.
For this reason, it is necessary to be extremely
careful when handling wiring harnesses.
2. Main failures occurring in wiring harness

1) Defective contact of connectors (defec-
tive contact between male and female)
Problems with defective contact are likely
to occur because the male connector is
not properly inserted into the female con-
nector, or because one or both of the con-
nectors is deformed or the position is not
correctly aligned, or because there is cor-
rosion or oxidization of the contact sur-
faces. The corroded or oxidized contact
surfaces may become shiny again (and
contact may become normal) by connect-
ing and disconnecting the connector about
10 times.
2) Defective crimping or soldering of connec-

tors
The pins of the male and female connec-
tors are in contact at the crimped terminal
or soldered portion, but if there is exces-
sive force brought to bear on the wiring,
the plating at the joint will peel and cause
improper connection or breakage.
PC1250-8R 11
3) Disconnections in wiring
If the wiring is held and the connectors are
pulled apart, or components are lifted with
a crane with the wiring still connected, or a
heavy object hits the wiring, the crimping
of the connector may separate, or the sol-
dering may be damaged, or the wiring
may be broken.
4) High-pressure water entering connector

The connector is designed to make it diffi-
cult for water to enter (drip-proof struc-
ture), but if high-pressure water is sprayed
directly on the connector, water may enter
the connector, depending on the direction
of the water jet. Accordingly, take care not
to splash water over the connector. The
connector is designed to prevent water
from entering, but at the same time, if
water does enter, it is difficult for it to be
drained. Therefore, if water should get into
the connector, the pins will be short-cir-
cuited by the water, so if any water gets in,
immediately dry the connector or take
other appropriate action before passing
electricity through it.
5) Oil or dirt stuck to connector

If oil or grease are stuck to the connector
and an oil film is formed on the mating sur-
face between the male and female pins,
the oil will not let the electricity pass, so
there will be defective contact. If there is
oil or grease stuck to the connector, wipe it
off with a dry cloth or blow it dry with com-
pressed air and spray it with a contact
restorer.
a When wiping the mating portion of the
connector, be careful not to use
excessive force or deform the pins.
a If there is oil or water in the com-
pressed air, the contacts will become
even dirtier, so remove the oil and
water from the compressed air com-
pletely before cleaning with com-
pressed air.
12 PC1250-8R
3. Removing, installing, and drying connec-

tors and wiring harnesses
1) Disconnecting connectors
1] Hold the connectors when discon-
necting.
When disconnecting the connectors,
hold the connectors. For connectors
held by a screw, loosen the screw
fully, then hold the male and female
connectors in each hand and pull
apart. For connectors which have a
lock stopper, press down the stopper
with your thumb and pull the connec-
tors apart.
a Never pull with one hand.
2] When removing from clips

q Both of the connector and clip have
stoppers, which are engaged with
each other when the connector is
installed.
q When removing a connector from a

clip, pull the connector in a parallel
direction to the clip for removing stop-
pers.
a If the connector is twisted up and
down or to the left or right, the
housing may break.
3] Action to take after removing connec-

tors
After removing any connector, cover it
with a vinyl bag to prevent any dust,
dirt, oil, or water from getting in the
connector portion.
a If the machine is left disassem-
bled for a long time, it is particu-
larly easy for improper contact to
occur, so always cover the con-
nector.
PC1250-8R 13
2) Connecting connectors
1] Check the connector visually.
Check that there is no oil, dirt, or
water stuck to the connector pins
(mating portion).
Check that there is no deformation,
defective contact, corrosion, or dam-
age to the connector pins.
Check that there is no damage or
breakage to the outside of the con-
nector.
a If there is any oil, water, or dirt
stuck to the connector, wipe it off
with a dry cloth. If any water has
got inside the connector, warm
the inside of the wiring with a
dryer, but be careful not to make
it too hot as this will cause short
circuits.
a If there is any damage or break-
age, replace the connector.
2] Fix the connector securely.
Align the position of the connector
correctly, and then insert it securely.
For connectors with the lock stopper,
push in the connector until the stop-
per clicks into position.
3] Correct any protrusion of the boot and
any misalignment of the wiring har-
ness.
For connectors fitted with boots, cor-
rect any protrusion of the boot. In
addition, if the wiring harness is mis-
aligned, or the clamp is out of posi-
tion, adjust it to its correct position.
a If the connector cannot be cor-
rected easily, remove the clamp
and adjust the position.
q If the connector clamp has been
removed, be sure to return it to
its original position. Check also
that there are no loose clamps.

4) Drying wiring harness

If there is any oil or dirt on the wiring har-
ness, wipe it off with a dry cloth. Avoid
washing it in water or using steam. If the
connector must be washed in water, do
not use high-pressure water or steam
directly on the wiring harness. If water
gets directly on the connector, do as fol-
lows.
1] Disconnect the connector and wipe
off the water with a dry cloth.
a If the connector is blown dry with
compressed air, there is the risk
that oil in the air may cause
defective contact, so remove all
oi l a nd wa ter fr om t he c om -
pressed air before blowing with
air.
2] Dry the inside of the connector with a
dryer.
If water gets inside the connector, use
a dryer to dry the connector.
a Hot air from the dryer can be
used, but regulate the time that
the hot air is used in order not to
make the connector or related
parts too hot, as this will cause
deformation or damage to the
connector.
3] Carry out a continuity test on the con-
nector.
After drying, leave the wiring harness
disconnected and carry out a continu-
ity test to check for any short circuits
between pins caused by water.
a After completely drying the con-
n e c t o r, b l o w i t w i t h c o n ta c t
restorer and reassemble.
16 PC1250-8R
4. Handling controller
1) The controller contains a microcomputer
and electronic control circuits. These con-
trol all of the electronic circuits on the
machine, so be extremely careful when
handling the controller.
2) Do not place objects on top of the control-
ler.
3) Cover the control connectors with tape or
a vinyl bag. Never touch the connector
contacts with your hand.
4) During rainy weather, do not leave the
controller in a place where it is exposed to
rain.
5) Do not place the controller on oil, water, or
soil, or in any hot place, even for a short
time. (Place it on a suitable dry stand).
6) Precautions when carrying out arc welding
When carrying out arc welding on the
body, disconnect all wiring harness con-
nectors connected to the controller. Fit an
arc welding ground close to the welding
point.
5. Points to remember when troubleshooting

electric circuits
1) Always turn the power OFF before discon-
necting or connecting connectors.
2) Before carrying out troubleshooting, check
that all the related connectors are properly
inserted.
a Disconnect and connect the related
connectors several times to check.
3) Always connect any disconnected con-
nectors before going on to the next step.
a If the power is turned ON with the
connectors still disconnected, unnec-
essary abnormality displays will be
generated.
4) When carrying out troubleshooting of cir-
cuits (measuring the voltage, resistance,
continuity, or current), move the related
wiring and connectors several times and
check that there is no change in the read-
ing of the tester.
a If there is any change, there is proba-
bly defective contact in that circuit.
PC1250-8R 17
Points to remember when handling hydraulic equipment

With the increase in pressure and precision of hydraulic equipment, the most common cause of failure is dirt
(foreign material) in the hydraulic circuit. When adding hydraulic oil, or when disassembling or assembling
hydraulic equipment, it is necessary to be particularly careful.
1. Be careful of the operating environment.

Avoid adding hydraulic oil, replacing filters, or
repairing the machine in rain or high winds, or
places where there is a lot of dust.
2. Disassembly and maintenance work in the

field
If disassembly or maintenance work is carried
out on hydraulic equipment in the field, there is
danger of dust entering the equipment. It is
also difficult to check the performance after
repairs, so it is desirable to use unit exchange.
Disassembly and maintenance of hydraulic
equipment should be carried out in a specially
prepared dustproof workshop, and the perfor-
mance should be checked with special test
equipment.
3. Sealing openings
After any piping or equipment is removed, the
openings should be sealed with caps, tapes, or
vinyl bags to prevent any dirt or dust from
entering. If the opening is left open or is
blocked with a rag, there is danger of dirt
entering or of the surrounding area being
made dirty by leaking oil so never do this. Do
not simply drain oil out onto the ground, but
collect it and ask the customer to dispose of it,
or take it back with you for disposal.
4. Do not let any dirt or dust get in during

refilling operations
Be careful not to let any dirt or dust get in when
refilling with hydraulic oil. Always keep the oil
filler and the area around it clean, and also use
clean pumps and oil containers. If an oil clean-
ing device is used, it is possible to filter out the
dirt that has collected during storage, so this is
an even more effective method.
18 PC1250-8R
5. Change hydraulic oil when the temperature

is high
When hydraulic oil or other oil is warm, it flows
easily. In addition, the sludge can also be
drained out easily from the circuit together with
the oil, so it is best to change the oil when it is
still warm. When changing the oil, as much as
possible of the old hydraulic oil must be
drained out. (Drain the oil from the hydraulic
tank; also drain the oil from the filter and from
the drain plug in the circuit.) If any old oil is left,
the contaminants and sludge in it will mix with
the new oil and will shorten the life of the
hydraulic oil.
6. Flushing operations
After disassembling and assembling the equip-
ment, or changing the oil, use flushing oil to
remove the contaminants, sludge, and old oil
from the hydraulic circuit. Normally, flushing is
carried out twice: primary flushing is carried
out with flushing oil, and secondary flushing is
carried out with the specified hydraulic oil.
7. Cleaning operations
After repairing the hydraulic equipment (pump,
control valve, etc.) or when running the
machine, carry out oil cleaning to remove the
sludge or contaminants in the hydraulic oil cir-
cuit. The oil cleaning equipment is used to
remove the ultra fine (about 3 m) particles that
the filter built in the hydraulic equipment can-
not remove, so it is an extremely effective
device.

q When using eyebolts, check that there is no deformation or deterioration, screw them in fully, and align
the direction of the hook.
q When tightening split flanges, tighten uniformly in turn to prevent excessive tightening on one side.
a When operating the hydraulic cylinders for the first time after reassembling cylinders, pumps and other
hydraulic equipment removed for repair, always bleed the air as follows:
1) Start the engine and run at low idle.
2) Operate the work equipment control lever to operate the hydraulic cylinder 4 – 5 times, stopping the
cylinder 100 mm from the end of its stroke.
3) Next, operate the hydraulic cylinder 3 – 4 times to the end of its stroke.
4) After doing this, run the engine at normal speed.
a When using the machine for the first time after repair or long storage, follow the same procedure.
3. Precautions when completing the operation

1) Refilling with coolant, oil and grease
q If the coolant has been drained, tighten the drain valve, and add coolant to the specified level.
Run the engine to circulate the coolant through the system. Then check the coolant level
again.
q If the hydraulic equipment has been removed and installed again, add engine oil to the speci-
fied level. Run the engine to circulate the oil through the system. Then check the oil level
again.
q If the piping or hydraulic equipment have been removed, always bleed the air from the system
after reassembling the parts.
a For details, see Testing and adjusting, “Bleeding air”.
q Add the specified amount of grease (molybdenum disulphide grease) to the work equipment
parts.
2) Checking cylinder head and manifolds for looseness

Conversion table 1
Method of using the conversion table
The conversion table in this section is provided to enable simple conversion of figures. For details of the
method of using the conversion table, see the example given below.
Example: Method of using the conversion table to convert from millimeters to inches
1. Convert 55 mm into inches.

1) Locate the number 50 in the vertical column at the left side, take this as (A), and then draw a hori-
zontal line from (A).
2) Locate the number 5 in the row across the top, take this as (B), then draw a perpendicular line down
from (B).
3) Take the point where the 2 lines cross as (C). This point (C) gives the value when converting from
millimeters to inches. Therefore, 55 mm = 2.165 inches.
2. Convert 550 mm into inches.

1) The number 550 does not appear in the table, so divide it by 10 (move the decimal point one place
to the left) to convert it to 55 mm.
2) Carry out the same procedure as above to convert 55 mm to 2.165 inches.
3) The original value (550 mm) was divided by 10, so multiply 2.165 inches by 10 (move the decimal
point one place to the right) to return to the original value. This gives 550 mm = 21.65 inches.

Temperature
Fahrenheit-Centigrade conversion: A simple way to convert a Fahrenheit temperature reading into a Centi-
grade temperature reading or vice versa is to enter the accompanying table in the center (boldface column)
of figures. These figures refer to the temperature in either Fahrenheit or Centigrade degrees.
When convert from Fahrenheit to Centigrade degrees, consider the center column to be a table of Fahren-
heit temperatures and read the corresponding Centigrade temperature in the column at the left.
When convert from Centigrade to Fahrenheit degrees, consider the center column to be a table of Centi-
grade values, and read the corresponding Fahrenheit temperature on the right.

Air governor 1 Function

q Port (A) is connected to the air tank and port
(B) is connected to the unloader valve of the
air compressor. The air governor maintains the
air pressure inside the air tank within the spec-
ified range. If the pressure exceeds the speci-
fied pressure, it stops the operation of the air
compressor to prevent the air pressure from
rising any higher.

Safety valve 1 Function

q The safety valve is installed to the air tank, and
if any pressure above the set pressure is gen-
erated in the air circuit, it acts to release the
compressed air inside the air tank to the atmo-
sphere in order to maintain the safety of the air
circuit.

ton (4) or piston (6).
q As a result, the flow of oil from port (a) to port

same time, the area of the opening at port (b)

PC1250-8R 27
(2) When main pump discharge pressure becomes close to relief pressure
q If the load increases and main pump discharge

pressure (PA) comes close to the relief pres-
sure, main pump discharge pressure (PA)
pushes piston (5).
q At the same time, CO valve output pressure
(PEC) pushes piston (5), and spool (4) moves
up.
q As a result, the flow of oil from port (a) to port

q In this way, CO valve output pressure (Pec)
goes down, and the pump discharge amount
becomes the minimum.
28 PC1250-8R
(3) When cut-off function is canceled by heavy-lift solenoid valve
q When the heavy-lift solenoid valve is energized

and is switched, pilot pressure (PC) is sent to
the port, and piston (2) is pushed down fully.
q For this reason, seat (6) contacts seat (7) and
spool (4) is locked.
q As a result, main pump discharge pressure
(PA) goes up, but even when it reaches the
relief pressure, spool (4) is not actuated, so
CO valve output pressure (PEC) remains at
the maximum.

becomes the minimum, and the main pump
delivery also becomes the minimum.
30 PC1250-8R
(2) When control lever is operated
q When the control valve is moved, the jet sen-

sor differential pressure [(PT) – (PD)] goes
down in accordance with the movement of the
control valve. Spool (11) is pushed up, and the
area of the opening of port (c) and port (b)
becomes larger.
q In this way, NC valve output pressure (PECN)
becomes larger and the delivery from the main
pump increases. In other words, the pump
delivery increases according to the amount the
control lever is operated.

q As cylinder block (7) rotates and the volume of

q Servo piston (10) is used for changing swash

q Servo piston (10) carries out linear reciprocal
movement according to the signal pressure
from the PC valve.
q This linear movement is transmitted to rocker
cam (4) through slider (14).
q Being supported by cradle (2) on the cylindrical
surface, rocker cam (4) slides on the surface
while continuing revolving movement.
q Space of the pressure receiving area of servo
piston (10) are not identical on the left side and
right side. Main pump discharge pressure (self
pressure) (PP) is always brought to the pres-

side.

brought to the chamber receiving the pressure
at the large diameter piston end.
q The relationship between the size of pressure
(PP) at the small diameter piston end and
pressure (PEN) at the large diameter piston
end, and the ratio between the area receiving
the pressure of the small diameter piston and

Function
q The PC valve controls the pump delivery
according to the EPC valve output pressure.
q If the EPC valve output pressure rises, the PC
valve increases the pump delivery.
q If the EPC valve output pressure lowers, the
PC valve decreases the pump delivery.

1) Action of PC-EPC valve solenoid (1)
Operation
q PC mode selector current (IM) is being sent to
EPC valve solenoid (1) from the pump control-
ler.
q PC mode selector current (IM) acts on EPC
valve to output the signal pressure in order to
modify the force pushing piston (2).
q Spool (3) stops at a position where the force of
spring (4) is balanced with the force applied to
piston (2) according to the EPC valve signal
pressure.
q The pressure [port (C) pressure] output from
PC valve is changed depending on the above
position.
q The level of PC mode selector current (IM) is
determined by the engine oil temperature,
hydraulic oil temperature, engine speed, and
set value of the hydraulic fan.
a The spring set force of spring (4) varies as
servo piston (9) expands and compresses
spring (4).

1. Hydraulic motor
Function
q This hydraulic motor is called a swash plate-
type axial piston motor. It converts the energy
of the pressurized oil sent from the hydraulic
pump into rotary motion.
Principle of operation
q The oil sent from the hydraulic pump flows
through valve plate (7) into cylinder block (5).
This oil can flow on only one side of the (Y-Y)
line connecting the top dead center of the
stroke of piston (4).
q The oil sent to one side of cylinder block (5)
presses piston (4) and generates force (F1)[F1
= P × xD2/4].
q This force is applied to thrust plate (2). Since
thrust plate (2) is fixed to the angle of (a°) to
the output shaft (1), the force is divided into
components (F2) and (F3).
q The radial component (F3) generates torque [T
= F3 x ri] against the (Y-Y) line connecting the
top dead center and bottom dead center.
q The result of this torque [T = ∑(F3 × ri)] rotates
cylinder block (5) through the piston.
q Since this cylinder block (5) is splined to the
output shaft, the output shaft revolves to trans-
mit the torque.

1-1 Motor
q There are 9 pistons (7) assembled in cylinder

block (6). The end face of the cylinder block
has a spherical surface and is in contact with
valve plate (5), which has two half-moon
shaped ports (divider valve for high/low speed
selector).
q The fixed surface (contact surface with the

motor case) forming the non-sliding surface of
rocker cam (13) has two faces. The high/low
speed volume selection for this motor is car-
ried out by fixing each face to provide large
capacity (low speed) or small capacity (high
speed).
The angling operation of rocker cam (14) is
carried out by actuating control piston (10) with
the self-pressure through the speed selector
valve when the motor is being driven, and this
angles the rocker cam.
There are two control pistons each for the high/
low pressure divider ports of valve plate (5),
and they provide propulsion force to the rocker
cam.

1-2 Speed selector valve

Operation
1) At low speed (pilot pressure PI = 0)
q When pilot pressure (PI) from the control pump

is 0, spool (1a) of travel speed selector valve
(1) is not switched.
In this condition, the oil from the chamber of
control piston (10) passes through spool (1a)
and is drained into the motor case. There is no
angle propulsion force acting on rocker cam
(14), so the low-speed surface is kept in a
static condition.

and releases the brake.
When the machine is parked or stopped, the
counterbalance valve spool returns to neutral,
and the oil in the cylinder chamber is released
to the tank through the counterbalance valve
spool, so the brake is applied by the force of
the spring to mechanically lock the motor shaft
and hold the machine in position.
When parking brake is ON

When the travel lever is placed in neutral, the
counterbalance valve spool returns to the neu-
tral position and parking brake circuit (P) is
closed.
The pressurized oil in chamber (e) of the brake
piston passes through the counterbalance
valve spool, and is drained to the tank, and
brake piston (18) is pushed fully to the left by
force (FS) of spring (19), and the brake is
applied.

Function
In addition to the pressure control function, this
relief valve has a shockless function (2-stage pres-

q The counterbalance valve acts to prevent the 4. Check valve

q When traveling downhill, the weight of the
machine makes it try to travel at a speed faster Specification
than the rotation of the motor. Safety valve set pressure: 34 MPa {350 kg/cm2}
For this reason, if the machine is traveling with Counterbalance switching pressure:
the engine running at low speed, the motor will 1.0 ± 0.1 MPa {10 ± 1 kg/cm2}
rotate under no load or may run away, which is Check valve switching pressure:
extremely dangerous. 0.02 ± 0.01 MPa {0.2 ± 0.1 kg/cm2}
To prevent this, this valve controls the amount
of oil on the return side in order to keep the
valve pressure constant, and makes it possible
to carry out travel operations which match the
oil delivery from the motor.

port (M2) is throttled.
As a result, the pressure at the outlet port side
rises, resistance is generated to the rotation of
the motor, and this prevents the machine from
running away.
In other words, spool (3) moves to a position
where the pressure at outlet port (M2) bal-
ances the pressure at the inlet port and the
force generated by the weight of the machine.
It throttles the outlet port circuit and controls
the travel speed according to the amount of oil
discharged from the pump.
q The pressurized oil at the supply side flows

from orifice (a) in spool (3) to chamber (A).
When the pressure in chamber (A) goes above
the spool switching pressure, spool (3) is
pushed to the left.
As a result, port (M2) and port (P2) are con-
nected, the outlet port side of the motor is
opened, and the motor starts to rotate.

control pump and the PPC valve. Even if the
engine is stopped with the work equipment
raised, pilot oil pressure is sent to the main
control valve by the pressure of the nitrogen
gas compressed inside the accumulator, so it
is possible to lower the work equipment under
its own weight.
Operation
q After the engine stops, when the PPC valve is at
neutral, chamber (A) inside the bladder is com-
pressed by the oil pressure in chamber (B).
q If the PPC valve is operated, the oil pressure in
chamber (B) becomes less than 2.9 MPa {30 kg/
cm2}, so the bladder expands under the pressure
of the nitrogen gas in chamber (A). The oil enter-
ing chamber (B) is sent as the pilot pressure to
actuate the main control valve.

q When the load on the pump rises and the

pressure rises, the engine speed goes

above 28.4 MPa {290 kg/cm2}, such as when
starting to travel uphill, the self pressure shifts
to low speed travel. If the machine continues to
travel at low speed and then comes again to a
flat area, when the travel pressure drops below
28.4 MPa {290 kg/cm2}, the speed is switched
back to high speed travel.

q If the boom is raised, the pilot pressure from the PPC valve is generated in line (A). When this happens,
the pressure in line (A) passes through check valve (2) and pushes the spool of the main valve in the
direction of the arrow. The pilot oil at the left end of the spool passes through line (B) and the PPC valve,
and returns to the tank. However, when this happens, check valve (4) is being pushed open by the pres-
sure in line (A), so it also allows the oil to pass in the opposite direction. For this reason, the boom can
be raised without any delay in response.
q In this condition, if the boom RAISE operation is stopped, the spool of the main valve moves in the
opposite direction to the arrow and drains the oil from line (A). However, the action of check valve (2)
means that the oil must pass through orifice (1). As a result, the spool returns slowly to the neutral posi-
tion to prevent any shock.

Swing priority function

q There is swing priority mode switch (1) on the
monitor panel. By turning this switch ON/OFF,
it is possible to change the matching of the
boom RAISE and swing. This divides the flow
to provide a swing speed which matches the
swing angle, thereby enabling the operator to
carry out compound operations easily.

Operation
When swing priority mode is OFF:
Boom RAISE is driven by 3 control valves (R.H. 4-spool control valve, L.H. 5-spool control valve, and
swing 4-spool control valve).
When swing priority mode is ON:
Swing priority solenoid valve is driven and swing 4-spool control valve is locked. As a result, boom
RAISE is driven by 2 control valves (R.H. 4-spool control valve and L.H. 5-spool control valve).
(The swing and boom RAISE control valves become independent.)
PC1250-8R 35
Swing assurance function

q If the swing is operated at the same time as the arm or bucket, the throttle valve in the arm or bucket cir-
cuit acts to ensure the flow of oil to the swing to ensure good performance during combined operations.

Operation
q There is a throttle valve in the arm circuit of the swing 4-spool control valve, and when the swing PPC
pressure goes above 1.5 MPa {15 kg/cm2} (when the control lever is operated approx. half way), the
swing assurance selector valve is actuated and the swing drive pressure locks the pilot check valve of
the bucket throttle valve in the swing 4-spool control valve.
q When this condition occurs, the oil in the swing 4-spool control valve forms a parallel circuit, so the flow
of oil to the arm and bucket is throttled by the throttle valve and the drive pressure for the swing rises. In
this way, the drive for the swing is ensured.

Hydraulic fan control function

1. Fan speed control
q The fan speed is controlled according to the
engine speed, hydraulic oil temperature, and
coolant temperature. When the temperature is
low, the fan speed is lowered to reduce the
noise and the horsepower consumed by the
fan unnecessarily.

q The fan speed is controlled according to the
temperature (hydraulic oil temperature and
coolant temperature). When the fan speed is
low, the pump controller calculates the horse-
power consumed by the fan and controls the
fan speed to reduce unnecessary horsepower
and fuel consumption.

C: Engine output curve is controlled according to

q Upon receiving the signal from the monitor, the

pump controller outputs the fan reverse signal,
which drives the fan reverse EPC valve of the
fan motor to change the fan reverse valve and
reverse the fan rotation direction.
Note) Since the fan reverse function is for
cleaning the cooling devices, the fan
speed in reverse direction is not con-
trolled by the temperature (hydraulic oil
temperature and coolant temperature)
but controlled by only the engine speed.

vice menu's abnormality record a given failure is classified.
a The VHMS system is a special failure code for the VHMS specification, however. The failures in the
VHMS system are saved only in the VHMS controller, they are not recorded in the failure history. Each
4-digit code in ( ) after the VHMS system is an error code displayed (2-digits) on the 7-segment LED
panel of the VHMS controller.
a E of at beginning the action code indicates the following state.

a This table lists the failed sections in the order of the failure code.
a Those failure codes to which the corresponding number is not indicated in the action code space are not
displayed on the ordinary screen if a failure is found. They are just recorded in the abnormality record
(electrical system and mechanical system) of the service menu.
a The category of record is used for indicating to which of the electrical and mechanical system of the ser-
vice menu's abnormality record a given failure is classified.
a The VHMS system is a special failure code for the VHMS specification, however. The failures in the
VHMS system are saved only in the VHMS controller, they are not recorded in the failure history. Each
4-digit code in ( ) after the VHMS system is an error code displayed (2-digits) on the 7-segment LED
panel of the VHMS controller.
a E of at beginning the action code indicates the following state.
q With E: The failure still remains without being resolved.
q Without E: The failure is already resolved.

Points to remember when troubleshooting 1

k Stop the machine in a level place, and check that the safety pin, blocks, and parking brake are
securely fitted.
k When carrying out the operation with 2 or more workers, keep strictly to the agreed signals, and
do not allow any unauthorized person to come near.
k If the radiator cap is removed when the engine is hot, hot water may spurt out and cause burns,
so wait for the engine to cool down before starting troubleshooting.
k Be extremely careful not to touch any hot parts or to get caught in any rotating parts.
k When disconnecting wiring, always disconnect the negative (–) terminal of the battery first.
k When removing the plug or cap from a location which is under pressure from oil, water, or air,
always release the internal pressure first. When installing measuring equipment, be sure to con-
nect it properly.
The aim of troubleshooting is to pinpoint the basic cause of the failure, to carry out repairs swiftly, and to pre-
vent reoccurrence of the failure. When carrying out troubleshooting, and important point is of course to
understand the structure and function. However, a short cut to effective troubleshooting is to ask the operator
various questions to form some idea of possible causes of the failure that would produce the reported symp-
toms.

Troubleshooting steps
If a problem that appears to be a failure occurs on the machine, identify the relevant troubleshooting No. by
performing the following steps and proceed to the main body of troubleshooting.
1. Procedure for troubleshooting to be taken when action code is displayed on machine monitor:
When action code is displayed on machine monitor, press [3] switch at panel switch section to display
failure code.
Code for the electrical system, carry out the troubleshooting for the corresponding [Display of code]
according to the displayed failure code.
2. Troubleshooting steps when the electrical system failure code or mechanical system failure
code is recorded in the failure history:
If not calling action code in the machine monitor, check the electrical system failure code or mechanical
system failure code, using the failure history function of the monitor panel.
If a code is recorded, carry out troubleshooting for the corresponding [Display of code] according to the
recorded code.
a If an electrical system failure code is recorded, delete all the codes and reproduce them, and then
see if the trouble is still detected.
a An error code of the mechanical system cannot be deleted.
3. Procedure for troubleshooting to be taken when action code is not displayed and no failure code
is recorded in abnormality record:
If an action code is not displayed on the machine monitor and no failure code is recorded in the abnor-
mality record, a trouble that the machine cannot find out by itself may have occurred in the electrical
system or hydraulic and mechanical system.
In this case, check the phenomenon looking like a trouble again and select the same phenomenon from
the table of “Phenomena looking like troubles and troubleshooting Nos.”, and then carry out trouble-
shooting corresponding to that phenomenon in the “E-mode”, “H-mode”, or “S-mode”.

Troubleshooting of engine (S-mode) 1
Method of using troubleshooting chart 1

The troubleshooting chart consists of the “questions”, “check items”, “causes”, and “troubleshooting” blocks.
The questions and check items are used to pinpoint high probability causes by simple inspection or from
phenomena without using troubleshooting tools.
Next, troubleshooting tools or direct inspection are applied to check the narrowed causes in order from the
most probable one to make final confirmation according to the troubleshooting procedure.
Questions:
Items to be drawn from the user or operator. They
correspond to A and B in the chart on the right.
The items in A are basic ones. The items in B can
be drawn from the user or operator, depending on
their level.
Check items:
Simple check items used by the serviceman to nar-
row the causes. They correspond to C in the chart
on the right.
Causes:
Items to be narrowed from the questions and check
items.
The serviceman narrows down the probable
causes from A, B, and C.
Troubleshooting:
Items used to find out the true cause by verifying
the narrowed causes finally in order from the most
probable one by applying troubleshooting tools or
direct inspection.
Items listed in the [Questions] and [Check items]
and related to the [Causes] are marked with E, Q,
and w.
E : Causes to be referred to for questions and

check items
Q : Causes related to questions and check items
w : Causes highly probable among ones marked
with
a When narrowing the “causes”, apply the items
marked with w before those marked with Q.
When narrowing the “causes”, do not apply the
items marked with E (If no items have other
marks and the causes cannot be narrowed,
however, you may apply them.)
PC1250-8R 3
<Example of troubleshooting> Exhaust gas color is black (incomplete combustion)

Let us assume that a trouble of “Exhaust gas color is black” occurred and we checked the [Questions] and
[Check items] and found the following 3 items to be the causal symptoms; [Exhaust gas color slowly became
black], [Power slowly became weaker], and [Dust indicator is lighting red].
4 PC1250-8R
There is a causal relationship between 3 items in the [Questions] and [Check items] sections and 6 items in
the [Causes] sections.
The method of pinpointing the [cause] from the causal relationship and approaching the [troubleshooting] is
explained according to Step 1 — Step 3 shown below.
