PRODUCTIVITY FEATURES

The PC300LC-7 utilizes a newly developed Komatsu
SAA6D114E engine with air-cooled aftercooler.
This engine has high output, low fuel consumption and
low emission.

(1) Large output

* The output in the catalog is 184 kW {247 HP}/2,000 rpm in the
H/P mode, but only 177 kW {237 HP} is used normally. The
output is increased to 184 kW {247 HP} only when a large load
is applied in the H/P mode.

(2) Low fuel consumption

Air cooled with the air-cooled aftercooler is supplied to the
combustion chamber for higher combustion efciency.

(3) Fuel consumption is improved by reducing
hydraulic loss
The quick return circuit

is added to the arm cylinder
bottom circuit. Since a part of the return oil is sent to the
tank directly when the arm is moved IN, the hydraulic loss
is reduced about 30% to reduce the fuel consumption and
increased speed.

PRODUCTIVITY FEATURES

The high output engine combined with Komatsus
proven HydrauMind system provides high production
and easy operation

What is HydrauMind?

The HydrauMind system symbolizes the new technology
featured on the

Avance

series where the load sensing
valves and pressure compensation valves handle all
adjustments for individual work applications based on the
proportional pressure and lever stoke sensed. The load
sensing valves are the brains of the avance excavators
allowing full automatic oil ow control without the need for
computer control in all operations.

Benets of HydrauMind system

You can operate all work equipment easily and as
desired.

For example, when the ground condition changes in
digging, the required oil amount automatically ows to
the actuators.

You do not have to worry about lever stroke or the
computer program.

When moving the boom, arm and bucket at the same
time, all equipment works, just like a human hand, at
the optimum combination of speed and power without
using any electronic device.

The nest controllability you have ever experienced.

Changing or adding valves and work equipment is
easy.

1. Work equipment speed is determined only by
lever stroke

Whatever the position of the work equipment control
lever, all the oil ow from the pump goes to the
actuator.
Even if the load on the actuator changes, actuator
speed remains the same.

2. Compound operations not affected by load

When two or more actuators are operated at the
same time, the oil is divided and sent to each actuator
corresponding to the lever stroke, regardless of the
size of the load.
There is no problem of excess oil owing to the circuit
at light load, and operations can be carried out simply
in accordance with the operating feel.

Effective work using HydrauMind system

Fine control with lifting operations is easy.
(for reason 1)

The amount the work
equipment control lever is
moved is constant, so it is
easy to start movement
without being affected by the
size of the load being lifted.

Reverse scraping
operations are easy.
(for reason 1)

The arm can be moved slowly under full power, ensuring
easy operation.

PRODUCTIVITY FEATURES

Work with additional attachments is easy
(for reason 1)

Even when attachments such as breakers or crushers
(which require a different amount of oil) are used, the
ow of oil can be adjusted simply by adjusting the
movement of the control pedal for the attachment
(= spool operating area).

It is easier to fully load the bucket. (for reason 2)

During simultaneous operation, the work equipment
moves slowly at maximum power, without being
inuenced by the other actuators, so it is easy to fully
load the bucket.

It is easy to carry out digging work along the faces
of walls. (for reason 2)

Lateral pushing is powerful allowing digging operations
to be carried out efciently.

The machine can carry out operations easily without
any undue chassis vibration. (for reason 2)

During simultaneous operations, there is no change in
the work equipment speed caused by change in load,
thus, there is minimal chassis vibration.

It is easy transport fresh concrete. (for reason 1 & 2)

Fine control of compound operations can be carried
out easily.

It is easy to scrape down. (for reason 2)

Even without operating the lever to the maximum
position, maximum digging power can be obtained,
making it possible to carry out slow control.

It is easy to operate the crusher and work equipment
simultaneously. (for reason 2)

The oil ow is divided according to the movement of the
lever, regardless of whether the load is heavy or light.

It is easy to dig soft rock or dig up boulders.
(for reason 2)

It is easy to control the boom RAISE, so the cutting
edge does not deviate from the boulders.

PRODUCTIVITY FEATURES

The tail swing radius is lengthened by 150 mm (5.9") and
the counterweight is increased by 50 kg (110 lb.) to
improve the balance and stability of the machine.

1. Smooth mode

While gathering blasted rocks with the arm, lifting of
machine front portion is prevented and shock due to
machine falling is reduced. As a result, gathering
material with arm is executed smoothly. (This is
especially effective for gathering work from 1m (3'3")
under-ground to the surface.) In addition, this is
effective for scraping down facings loosened by
blasting (dealing with oating stones).

2. Power mode

Boom pushing force is increased, ditch digging and
box digging operation on hard ground are improved.

PRODUCTIVITY FEATURES

Drawbar pull increased

Drawbar pull is increased 34.3 kN (3500 kgf/7700 lb) by
changing of nal drive reduction ratio.
PC300LC-7s maneuverability on rough ground or slope is
improved by improvement of travel performance.
Although the maximum drawbar pull is 431 kgf (950 lb.)
less than CAT 330B, the drawbar pull per operating
weight which is a reference index of the steering
performance is larger.

Travel performance is improved by utilizing travel junction valve,
increasing engine horsepower and drawbar pull.
* 3-speed auto-shift is available as a part of optional multi-
function color monitor (Deluxe spec)

Automatic gear shifting function

The automatic gear shifting function selects Hi or Lo
gears at the ideal points according to the load.

Comparison of steering performance:

PC300LC-7 can turn smoothly with the high steering
performance.
Remark: Steering index: An index to show how the
machine can be steered easily. The larger the steering
index is, the more easily the machine can be steered.

PRODUCTIVITY FEATURES

Improvement of travel performance

When machine travels straight

Oil of the same quantity ows through the travel junction
valve to both travel motors so the machine will travel
straight.

When machine is steered

The travel junction valve is closed and oil ows separately
to each travel motor, thus the machine can turn smoothly
according to the operation of the travel lever.

When machine travels uphill (Operation of work
equipment + Travel)

The travel junction valve is opened and oil of the same
quantity ows constantly from 1 pump to both travel
motors, thus the machine can travel and work
simultaneously.
The travel junction valve is installed in the control valve to improve the straight travel performance, steering
performance, and gradeability.

OPERATOR COMFORT

Automatic air conditioner

A 27,379 BTU (6,900 kcal) (SAE) air conditioner is
utilized. The bi-level control function keeps the operators
head and feet cool and warm respectively. This improved
air ow function keeps the inside of the cab comfortable
throughout the year.

Pressurized cab

The airtight cab is utilized to prevent entry of dust even in
dusty environment. Since the airtightness of the cab is
improved, the internal pressure is increased to 6.0 mmAq
(0.2 inAq) when the air conditioner is operated (in the
fresh-air-in mode).
The internal pressure of the cab of PC300LC-7 is
increased to 9 mmAq (0.35 inAq) by employing the xed
one-piece glass for the front window. This internal
pressure prevents dust from entering the cab.
The anged oor mat is employed so that the inside of the
cab can be washed with water. Since the oor inclines
gently toward the door of the cab, water is drained easily.
Additional water can be drained off through the draining
holes at the front part of the oor under the mat.

The inside (bottom) of the fuel tank is made of a ZINC
plated steel sheet to prevent rust.

The fuel ller and strainer are improved so that a
large-sized fuel gun can be used and fuel will not
spout out while fuel is supplied. Fuel can be supplied
automatically (The operator may release the fuel gun
while supplying fuel).

The shape of the track frame housing is changed so
that dirt and sand will ow outward easily and will not
