buttons to adjust the screen.
OPERATORS MODE
Depending on whether the
service attachment is activated
the working mode display
can show either the mode only
or the attachment symbol
with the mode.
This is displayed in the top left
hand corner of the screen.
OPERATORS MODE
The top three symbols are displayed
next to the gauge displays
These can be either white if the level is
low or red if the level is too high
The other symbols are shown initially as a
large symbol in the centre of the screen
for a few seconds and then they are displayed
in their normal display location whilst the
function is activated.

Green is normal
condition
 OPERATORS MODE
Caution Symbols are displayed initially
at start up and the system carries out
a check , then as long as there is
no fault the symbols disappear.
If a fault occurs during operation then
the symbol is displayed in the centre
of the screen and it replaces the centre
gauge.

When the maintenance symbol appears the

operator should contact his Komatsu dealer.
OPERATORS MODE
If the maintenance warning symbol
displays or if the status requires
checking then the keypad button 6
is pressed and the maintenance
function is displayed .

OPERATORS MODE
When a failure occurs
on the machine the
User code E02,E03,E05
can be displayed
This is followed by the
telephone number and
the 6 digits failure code
 OPERATORS MODE
The electrical failure codes can be deleted
from the monitor history but the
mechanical failure code are on for
the life of the machine.
See Service mode for further information
on the failure codes.
 OPERATORS MODE
Attachment control
When an attachment is installed and the function is enabled
on the monitor panel, the flow and pressure going to the attachment
can be altered by the operator.
When in A and E Mode the flow is adjustable between
30~430 L/min.
The safety valve on the service segment is also kept at the
high setting in this mode.

In Breaker mode the flow can be set to 3 levels and

then adjusted within each level giving a flow adjustment between
70~210 L/min.
When B mode is selected the flow is adjusted automatically and
the pressure is reduced to the lower setting on the service safety
valve.
 OPERATORS MODE

2. Abnormality Record (electrical)
The machine monitor stores two types of failure information
1. Electrical failures.
2. Mechanical failure.
To access the information select, “ 02 Abnormality record” from
within the Service mode and you will see the screen displaying
the choice of failure codes. A max of 20 codes can be stored then
the oldest code is erased.

7. Adjustment. Governor motor adjustment
The ability to ensure the governor motor is kept at maximum
RPM setting is required to ensure the linkage between
the Governor motor and the fuel injection pump is correct.
To activate this function carry out the following :-
1. Ensure fuel dial is at maximum
2. Set the monitor panel the the adjustment selection
3. Adjust the length of the linkage to ensure lever touches the stop.
See the shop manual for detailed instructions

7. Adjustment. Pump absorption torque
Due to machine tolerances the pump absorption torque can
be adjusted to suit the machine.
Using the Up/Down button selection can be made to the torque
absorbed by the pump.

The low idle setting on the governor can also be adjusted
suit the operator to the values shown below.
 SERVICE MODE
7. Adjustment. Service current adjustment
During compound operation between the boom raise spool and
the service spool the distribution of the flow from the
hydraulic pump would choose to go to the service spool ,
therefore the ability to alter the flow distribution is given in
the monitor panel . By selecting the different values below we alter
the balance of flow between the spools.
