Komatsu — Operating the Air Conditioning

ADJUSTMENTS PRIOR TO MACHINE START OPERATING THE AIR CONDITIONING Only operate the air-conditioning with the engine running. Run the air-conditioning for at least 10 minutes every month irrespective of season. This prevents the compres- sor shaft seal from drying out. The windows and doors of the operator’s cab must be closed when operating the air conditioning. The circulating air jets (arrow) must be open. We recommend ventilating the operator’s cab thoroughly first when starting the machine and switching on the air conditioning if the machine has been standing in bright sunshine for any length of time. SWITCHING ON THE AIR-CONDITIONING 1.

Turn the rotary switch (1) of the fan to position '4'. 2. Set the temperature control lever (2) to 'cold'. 1 2 65-9 3. Press the switch for the air conditioning. The air conditioning system is now switched on and the control lamp in the switch shines blue. The greatest cooling effect is achieved with this setting, particularly if the engine is running at high revs. As soon as the required temperature has been reached, turn the blowers down by one stage and carry out any further adjustment of the temperature using the temper- ature control. The lowest blower setting can be used if only a low cooling effect is required. Klima_2 5-10
