OPERATOR’SCOMPARTMENT

OPERATOR’SCOMPARTMENT

Ask the person who runs one — they will tell you the operator’s cab sets the

Komatsu wheel loader apart from the others. That’s a productivity feature you can’t ignore. No

matter how a machine specs out or how much is promised for productivity, unless the oper-

ator can work a full shift without becoming fatigued, you will never get the full measure of

promised productivity.

The cab improvements on the WA600-3

Avance Plus go beyond providing

a large cab with a comfortable air-ride

seat. Improvements include these

production-enhancing standard

and optional features noted below:

A large flat glass windshield

provides the operator an

unobstructed view of the working

area and attachment.

Electric power windows allow the

operator to open windows without

reaching or leaving the comfortable

air-ride seat.

Two-door, walk-through cab.

Good for ventilation as well as easy entry

and exit from either side of the cab.

Silicone-filled rubber mounts dampen

noise and vibration, reducing fatigue

caused by noise. Helps keep the operator

productive, all day.

Low-effort brake pedals actuate fully

hydraulic brakes. Both the service and

parking brakes are wet-disc type.

Steer with ease. Komatsu’s fully hydraulic

steering provides fast response with low

effort, even at low engine rpm.

Optional joystick/steering wheel control.

The optional joystick and steering wheel

control system provides precise steering

operation. The joystick steering is ideal in

V-type cycle loading, and the steering wheel

is ideal in load and carry operations. The

combination of these two systems provides a

convenient, comfortable, and versatile option

to fit all operators and operating conditions.

See the monitor through the steering

wheel, not around it. A specially designed

two-spoke steering wheel allows the operator

to easily see the instrument panel.

Kick-down switch is conveniently

located on the boom lever. A simple

motion of the thumb actuates this

valuable productivity feature.

Automatic transmission. Automatic shift

control gives the operator maximum control

with minimum effort. The transmission hold

switch allows the operator to select either

automatic or manual shifting. The unique

combination of the transmission hold and

kick-down switches, located on the hydraulic

boom lever, offers the operator optimum

control in all conditions.

At-a-glance instrument monitor. Monitor is

mounted in front of the operator and is tilted

for easy view, allowing the operator to easily

check gauges and warning lights.

The EDIMOS II instrument gauge cluster

display monitors all machine functions and

systems, which are only a glance away on

the side panel.

Optional ECSS ride control. This option

is ideal in load and carry operations by

providing a smooth ride in rough ground

surfaces. Productivity is optimized by

improving material retention in the

bucket and increasing operator

comfort and control.

Comfortable high-backbucket seat features:

● Air suspension ridefabric seat

● Six-way adjustable seatwith armrests, headrest,and lumbar support to fit any size operator

● Retractable seat belt

EngineThe Komatsu SAA6D170E-3 delivers the power and efficiency to get the job done quickly

and cost-effectively while meeting EPA Tier 2 emission regulations.

With a piston displace-ment of 23.15 ltr 1410 in3,the Komatsu SAA6D170E-3has a net flywheel horse-power of 336 kW 450 HPat 2000 rpm.

Komatsu SAA6D170E-3 is a water-

cooled, four-stroke cycle, six-cylinder

in-line, turbocharged, air-to-air aftercooled,

direct injection engine that produces high

performance and excellent fuel economy.

The gear pump-driven forced lubrication

system has full flow filtration while all fuel and

oil filters are spin-on for easy maintenance.

Komatsu SAA6D170E-3 features include:

● Environmentally friendly, meets EPA

and EU emission standards for NOX,

CO, and HC.

● Engine oil and filter change intervals

have been increased from 250 hours

to 500 hours.

● HPI (High Pressure Injection) system

provides excellent low-speed torque and

optimum fuel efficiency by high injection

pressure and precise timing control.

● Large capacity muffler mounted under

the hood reduces noise and increases

operator visibility.

● Wet-type cylinder liners dissipate heat

better and are replaceable for easier

engine rebuild.

● Dry, two-stage cyclonic air cleaner with

a centrifugal type pre-cleaner.

Large hinged doors allow easy access to

the engine for routine maintenance and

cleaning.

Spin-on filters and easily accessible

lubrication points reduce maintenance

time and the chance of missing

maintenance items.

APS—Automatic Power Speed Hydraulic System is a dual-hydraulic speed system from Komatsu, which increasesoperational efficiency by matchingthe hydraulic demands to workconditions.

Oil from the switch pump is completely returned to the tankwhen digging and breaking out;therefore hydraulic flow to theloader is reduced and pressure isincreased. This reduces horse-power demand from the engineand makes the operation moreefficient. The result of this newAvance Dash-3 technology isgreater productivity at the lowest operating cost.

Four-Speed Automatic TransmissionProvides maximum speed of 30.3 km/h 18.8 mph in forward and

32.7 km/h 20.3 mph in reverse. The transmission is a full power shift, automatic

planetary gear transmission.

Other features include:

Consider this valuable feature for added productivity. With the touch of a

finger, the kick-down switch automatically downshifts from second to first when

beginning the digging cycle. It automatically upshifts from first to second when

the direction control lever is placed in reverse. This results in increased rim pull

for better bucket penetration and reduced cycle times for higher productivity.

Komatsu designed axles and final drives provide rugged reliability with low

maintenance. Axle shafts are full-floating. The front axle is fixed, while the rear axle is

a center-pin support design that provides a total oscillation of up to 26 degrees.

The differential reduction gear is a heavy-duty spiral bevel gear for strength and

reliable performance. Rugged, outboard planetary final drives carry the total gear

reduction of the drive train to the wheel which is mounted to the axle hub.

Wet multi-disc brakes (front and rear) are fully sealed. Contaminants are

kept out, reducing wear and maintenance. Brakes require no adjustments for

wear, further reducing maintenance costs. There is no air system to bleed, which

eliminates the condensation of water in the system that can lead to contamination

and corrosion. Braking system

reliability is increased with

the use of two independent

hydraulic circuits, providing

hydraulic backup should

one circuit fail.

The parking brake is a dry-disc,

hydraulically-released, spring-

applied brake, mounted on the

front axle input shaft.

● Gear indicator conveniently

located on the monitor panel allows

the operator to easily check gear-

shifts during operations.

● Solid state electronic fingertip

shifting provides easy directional

changes from forward to reverse or

from one gear to another.

● Automatic gear selection with

a hold switch on the boom control

lever provides control with low effort.

● Four forward and four reverse

gears help match cycle conditions,

providing increased efficiency and

fuel economy.

Service With a SmileIt would be better if most of us approached routine maintenance and service as something that made us smile. That’s

why Komatsu designed the WA600-3 Avance Plus wheel loader to make servicing as easy as possible. We know by doing this,

routine maintenance and servicing are less likely to be skipped, which can mean a reduction in costly downtime later on. Here

are some of the many service features found on the WA600-3 Avance Plus:
