01 GENERAL

The General chapter opens with specification dimension drawings for both the PC228US-3 and PC228USLC-3, including standard and blade specification variants. It provides the full machine specifications: bucket capacity, operating weight, working ranges (max digging depth, reach, height, dumping height), swing and travel speeds, gradeability, ground pressure, and transport dimensions. A weight table lists component weights for the engine assembly, hydraulic pump, radiator/oil cooler, hydraulic tank, fuel tank, revolving frame, cab, counterweight, swing machinery, travel motors, track frame assembly, boom, arm, bucket, and cylinders. This section also introduces the fuel, coolant, and lubricants requirements.

10 STRUCTURE, FUNCTION AND MAINTENANCE STANDARD

This is the technical core of the manual. It explains how each major system and component works, with cross-sectional illustrations, exploded views, and maintenance standard tables containing wear limits and clearances. Coverage includes engine related parts, radiator, oil cooler and aftercooler, power train, final drive, swing circle, swing machinery, track frame and recoil spring, idler, carrier roller, track roller, and track shoe. The hydraulic section covers the hydraulic tank, HPV95+95 hydraulic pump, LS-EPC valve, PC valve, CLSS (Closed center Load Sensing System), control valve, main relief valve, variable pressure compensation valve, and self pressure reducing valve. Motor and valve coverage includes the swing motor, reverse prevention valve, center swivel joint, travel motor, travel junction valve, travel PPC shuttle valve, valve control, work equipment and swing PPC valve, travel PPC valve, service PPC valve, solenoid valve, accumulator, and return oil filter. Additional systems covered include the boom hydraulic drift prevention valve, lift check valve, attachment circuit selector valve, holding valve, hydraulic cylinder, work equipment, and air conditioner. The electronic control section covers engine control, the electronic control system, monitor system, and sensors.

20 TESTING AND ADJUSTING

The Testing and Adjusting chapter provides the standard value tables for engine and chassis, then walks through every major inspection, measurement, and adjustment procedure. You get step-by-step instructions for engine RPM inspection and adjustment, exhaust gas color measurement, valve clearance adjustment, compression pressure and blow-by pressure measurement, fuel injection timing inspection and adjustment, engine oil pressure measurement, engine speed sensor adjustment, air compressor belt tension inspection and adjustment, and emergency escape from engine control system failure. Chassis procedures include swing circle bearing clearance measurement, track shoe tension inspection and adjustment, hydraulic oil pressure measurement for work equipment, swing, and travel circuits, control circuit oil pressure measurement, pump PC and LS control circuit oil pressure inspection and adjustment, solenoid valve output pressure measurement, PPC valve output pressure measurement and adjustment, hydraulic drift location inspection, residual pressure release, oil leakage measurement, and air bleeding. The chapter also covers boom angle potentiometer replacement and the special functions of the monitor panel. Troubleshooting sections are divided into E-mode (electrical), H-mode (hydraulic and mechanical), and S-mode (engine), with diagnostic charts, connector location charts, and circuit diagrams by system. Standard value tables give you the exact figures for judging wear and performance.

90 OTHERS

The Others chapter contains the hydraulic circuit diagram and the complete electrical circuit diagram in four parts. These diagrams are essential for tracing circuits, understanding system interactions, and diagnosing electrical or hydraulic faults.

What This Manual Enables You to Do

With this Komatsu PC228US-3 shop manual in hand, you can perform the full range of service and repair tasks on both the standard and long-crawler variants. Diagnose faults accurately using the manufacturer’s troubleshooting charts for electrical, hydraulic, mechanical, and engine systems. Test and adjust critical systems — hydraulic pressures, LS differential pressure, PC valve output, PPC pressures, engine RPM, valve clearances, and more. Understand how every system works before you touch it, thanks to the structure and function explanations and cross-sectional diagrams. Check wear and set clearances against the maintenance standard tables, so you know when a component needs rebuilding or replacement. Trace circuits with the hydraulic and electrical diagrams, essential for intermittent faults and complex diagnostics. Perform routine and preventive maintenance with the correct fluid specifications, capacities, and service intervals.

Why the Correct Procedures and Specs Matter

The PC228US-3 and PC228USLC-3 are 21.5-ton class excavators running sophisticated hydraulic and electronic systems — CLSS (Closed center Load Sensing System), PC and LS valve control, electronic engine/pump composite control, and a monitor system that communicates fault codes. Guessing at pressures, torque values, or diagnostic codes can lead to expensive component damage, poor performance, and unsafe machine operation. This manual eliminates the guesswork by giving you the factory standard values, step-by-step procedures, and system explanations that Komatsu service technicians rely on.
