01 GENERAL

The General chapter establishes the foundation for all work on the HD325-6 and HD405-6. It opens with complete dimensional specifications for both models, including overall length, width, height, wheelbase, tread, and ground clearance. The weight table provides empty, hauling capacity, maximum load, rated load, and gross weight figures, along with front and rear weight distribution for both empty and loaded conditions. The table of oil and coolant quantities covers every reservoir on the machine — engine oil pan, transmission case (including torque converter and brake cooling oil), hydraulic tank, differential, final drive, and fuel tank — with specified and refill capacities. The proper selection of fuel, coolant, and lubricants section gives ambient temperature ranges and API classifications for engine oil, along with guidance on fuel sulphur content and oil change intervals. This chapter also contains the standard tightening torques for metric bolts and nuts, hose nuts, split flange bolts, O-ring boss connectors, flare nuts, and 102 Series engine fasteners, plus the electric wire code tables and conversion tables for millimeters to inches, kilograms to pounds, liters to U.S. and U.K. gallons, kgm to ft. lb, kg/cm² to lb/in², and Celsius to Fahrenheit.

10 STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION

This chapter explains the structure and function of every major component on the HD325-6 and HD405-6, serving both as a learning resource and as reference material for troubleshooting. It begins with the cooling system — radiator, torque converter and brake oil cooler, aftercooler, and the cooling system circuit diagram. The power train skeleton is presented in a clear illustration showing the engine, output shaft, front drive shaft, brake cooling pump, torque converter transmission charge pump, PTO, torque converter, transmission, rear drive shaft, differential, drive shaft, brakes, tires, final drive, parking brake, and steering/hoist pump. Each component is then covered in detail: the output shaft and its function absorbing torsional vibration, the drive shafts, the torque converter with its lockup clutch and valve, the transmission with its seven clutch packs and five planetary gear sets, the ECMV (Electronic Control Modulation Valve) with proportional solenoid and fill switch, the front and rear axles, differential, final drive, and brakes. The steering system section covers the self-metering power steering, steering wheel, steering linkage, and steering valve. The suspension system is explained in detail, including the hydropneumatic cylinders, the automatic suspension system with variable damping force, and the suspension controller. Air piping and air circuit diagrams cover the brake valve, relay valves, parking brake valve, emergency brake valve, and safety valves. The hydraulic circuits for steering, hoist, and front drive are documented with full circuit diagrams. The electrical section covers the automatic shift control system, electronic monitor system, payload meter, and all associated sensors and switches.

20 TESTING AND ADJUSTING

The Testing and Adjusting chapter is the diagnostic core of this shop manual. It explains the checks to be performed before and after repairs, along with the adjustments needed at the completion of those checks and repairs. Troubleshooting charts correlate problems with their causes, giving you a systematic approach to fault-finding in the transmission, torque converter, brakes, steering, suspension, and electrical systems. The chapter covers the measurement of hydraulic pressures throughout the machine, including main relief valve pressure, torque converter relief valve pressure, lockup clutch pressure, and clutch pressures for each gear range. It includes procedures for testing the ECMV and proportional solenoids, verifying fill switch operation, adjusting the automatic shift control system, and checking the automatic emergency steering and automatic suspension systems. The electronic monitor system and payload meter are also covered, with procedures for reading self-diagnostic codes and interpreting sensor signals. Whether you are diagnosing a shift quality complaint, a brake performance issue, a steering problem, or an electrical fault, the testing and adjusting procedures in this chapter give you the data and logic needed to isolate the root cause.

30 DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY

This is the largest chapter in the manual, providing the complete teardown and rebuild procedures for every major component. It gives the exact order to follow when removing, installing, disassembling, or assembling each component, along with the precautions to be taken during these operations. The chapter covers the output shaft, front and rear drive shafts, torque converter, transmission, differential, final drive, front and rear brakes, parking brake, steering system, suspension cylinders, hoist cylinders, steering cylinders, hydraulic pumps, and hydraulic motors. Each procedure includes the tools required, the tightening torques to observe, and the coating materials to apply. The transmission section is particularly detailed, covering the seven clutch packs and five planetary gear sets, with instructions for disassembling and reassembling the front group (No. 1 and No. 2 clutches with the No. 1 planetary gear) and the rear group (No. 3 through No. 7 clutches with the No. 4, 5, 6, and 7 planetary gears). The differential lock type and final drive reduction ratio are also covered. This chapter is essential for anyone performing a major overhaul or replacing internal components.

40 MAINTENANCE STANDARD

The Maintenance Standard chapter provides the judgment criteria for inspecting disassembled parts. It tells you what to measure, what the wear limits are, and when a part must be replaced. This section is critical during an overhaul — it removes the guesswork from assessing whether a component is still within specification or has exceeded its service limit. The standards cover the transmission, torque converter, differential, final drive, brakes, steering system, suspension, and hydraulic components. By following these standards, you can make informed decisions about which parts to reuse, which to repair, and which to replace.

Why This Manual Matters

The Komatsu HD325-6 and HD405-6 are heavy-duty articulated dump trucks designed for demanding off-road applications. Working on these machines without the correct procedures and specifications can lead to costly mistakes — incorrect clutch pressures causing shift problems, improper bearing preloads leading to premature failure, or missed wear limits resulting in catastrophic component damage. This shop manual gives you the exact information you need: the tightening torques for every fastener, the hydraulic pressure values for every circuit, the wear limits for every component, and the troubleshooting logic to isolate faults quickly. Whether you are a professional technician in a workshop, a fleet maintenance manager, or an owner-operator who maintains your own equipment, having the complete service information at your fingertips saves time, reduces downtime, and helps prevent damage caused by incorrect repair procedures.
