 PERFORMANCE FEATURES
KOMATSU NEW ENGINE TECHNOLOGIES

New Tier 4 Final Engine SCR

The Komatsu SAA6D107E-3 engine is EPA Tier 4 Final KCCV
emissions certified and provides exceptional performance KVGT
while reducing fuel consumption. Based on Komatsu
proprietary technologies developed over many years, this new
diesel engine reduces nitrogen oxides (NOx) compared to the
previous model.

Technologies Applied to New Engine

Heavy-duty aftertreatment system KDPF
This new system combines a Komatsu Diesel Particulate
Filter (KDPF) and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR).
The SCR NOx reduction system injects the correct amount
of Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) at the proper rate, thereby
decomposing NOx into non-toxic water vapor (H2O) and
EGR
nitrogen gas (N2).

Additionally, managing the information via KOMTRAX helps
customers keep up with required maintenance.

(EGR) system
The system recirculates a portion of exhaust gas into the
air intake and lowers combustion temperatures, thereby
reducing NOx emissions.

Selectable Working Modes

The operator can choose between two working modes,
Economy Mode or Power Mode, depending on their work

Higher Productivity & Lower Fuel Consumption

A new variable displacement piston pump, improvements in
the transmission and driveline components, and a
sophisticated electronic control system for the engine and Power mode

ADVANCED CONTROL FEATURES

Closed-center Load Sensing System (CLSS) Implement Control Valves

The variable displacement pump idles at low output. When it Designed and built by Komatsu specifically for motor
senses a load requirement, the pump supplies flow and graders, the valves are direct acting and provide outstanding
pressure quickly to match the demand. The result is less operator "feel" and predictable system response for precise
hydraulic system heat, quick response and lower fuel implement control. To help maintain exact blade settings, lock

Closed-center Load Sensing System (CLSS). also incorporated into selected circuits to protect the
cylinders from over-pressurization.

Low Operating Effort

Implement controls are designed to reduce operator fatigue.
They feature short lever throws and low effort in both
directions. Properly spaced control levers and short lever
throws allow the operator to use multiple controls with one
hand.

Balanced Flow
When the operator uses several controls at the same time,
flow is proportional to ensure several implements can
operate simultaneously.

Constant Implement Speed

Implement speed is constant regardless of engine speed
because of the large pump output and proportional flow
control function.

Versatile Moldboard Geometry

Komatsu graders feature a versatile moldboard geometry. Save time and money when pulling ditches by throwing the windrow

Protection System
Blade Lift Accumulators absorb shocks when the
