MAINTENANCE 20.3 TRANSMISSION, TORQUE CONVERTER, TRANSFER CASE AND OIL COOLER, SERVICE BRAKES AND HYDRAULIC SYSTEM OIL SPECIFICATIONS Komatsu Engine Oil or engine oil meeting American Petroleum Institute (API) performance classification CF-4, CG-4, CF-4/SG or CG-4/SH or MIL-L-2104D or E is recommended. NOTICE: Classification CD, CE, CD/SF or CE/SF oils may be used in areas where CF-4, CG-4, CF-4/SG or CG-4/SH oil is not yet available. 20.4 DRIVE AXLE OIL SPECIFICATIONS For drive axle oil, use only the recommended oil as follows: SHELL: DONAX TT or TD CALTEX: RPM TRACTOR HYDRAULIC FLUID CHEVRON: TRACTOR HYDRAULIC FLUID TEXACO: TDH OIL MOBIL:
MOBIL 424 It is possible to substitute engine oil SAE 30W API classification CD or CE for axle oil. Although increased brake noise may result, durability should not be affected. 20.5 DIESEL FUEL SPECIFICATIONS WARNING Possible fire hazard - never mix gasoline, gasohol and/or alcohol with diesel fuel. This practice creates an extreme fire hazard and under certain conditions an explosion which could result in personal injury or death. WARNING Never remove the fuel tank filler cap or refill the fuel tank while the engine is running or when hot or when the machine is indoors. Fumes are dangerous, a spark or flame could result in a fire or explosion. NOTICE:
Due to the precise tolerances of diesel fuel injection systems, it is extremely important that the fuel be kept clean and free of contaminates or water. Contaminates or water in the system can cause severe damage to both the injection pump and nozzles. REMARK Below -12 uel will change to wax particles and clog the fuel filters. For best results use Grade No. 1-D diesel fuel in cold weather. For normal service above -10 Grade No. 2-D diesel fuel with a minimum Cetane number of 40 is recommended. The use of No. 2-D diesel fuel will result in optimum engine performance under most operating conditions.
Fuels with Cetane numbers higher than 40 may be needed in high altitudes or extremely low ambient temperatures to prevent misfires and excessive smoke. At operating temperatures below -10 +14 use of lighter fuels can reduce fuel economy. Where a winterized blend of Grade No. 2-D and No. 1-D fuels is available, it may be substituted for Grade No. 1-D fuel. However, it is the supplier's responsibility to provide the fuel for the anticipated ambient temperature. Use a low sulfur content fuel having a cloud point that is at least 10 degrees below the lowest expected fuel temperature. Cloud point is the temperature at which crystals begin to form in the fuel.
