Komatsu — PERIODIC REPLACEMENT OF COMPONENT PARTS FOR SAFETY DEVICES

Maintenance - Section 4 08/07 OM4016 Page 4-20 Lubrication and Service PERIODIC REPLACEMENT OF COMPONENT PARTS FOR SAFETY DEVICES To ensure safety in operation, the user is requested to perform the periodic maintenance recommended in the previous schedules. In addition, special care should be paid to the periodic replacement of certain other parts which may affect safety in operation. The following parts should be considered for repair or replacement every 4000 hours , or every two years, whichever comes first: 1. Fuel Pump Screen Filter - Check and clean or replace screen filter. Fabrication of safety devices and other component parts have been designed to high standards.

How- ever, all parts are subject to wear and gradual fatigue during continuous use. Since it is difficult to deter- mine accurately the process of change in quality, wear, or fatigue, judgments must be made whether or not some parts should be replaced even if they do not show any faulty symptom at the time. Of course, any part found to have an abnormality should be repaired or replaced, regardless of the time it has been used. NOTE: This recommendation for the replacement of parts is to ensure safety in operation. The war- ranty guarantee to be free from manufacturing defects does not apply to the replacement of functioning parts for precautionary reasons. 2.

Periodic Replacement Safety Parts Kit - Use the periodic replacement safety parts service kit when replacing the parts. 3. High pressure hoses in steering circuit (to/from pump, demand valve, steering valve, steering cylinder).* 4.
