• 40 Troubleshooting – troubleshooting procedures section
• 50 Disassembly and Assembly – introduction, safety, superstructure, undercarriage, attachment, service information, tools catalogue, Parts & Service News, supplier documentation

Within the Structure, Function section, the Komatsu PC5500E-6 shop manual walks through the main assembly groups, the drive system including coupling, pump-spline lubrication and PTO lubrication and cooling, the hydraulic oil reservoir with its switches and sensors, the hydraulic oil cooling circuit and fan drive, the control and filter panel, remote control valves, electro-hydraulic proportional control, potentiometer controls, proportional amplifier modules, ramp time modules and their adjustments. The main hydraulic pumps and the electronic pump regulation system are covered in detail, including the electronic power module, electronic signal rectifier, microcontroller MC7, and checks and adjustments using 24V supply, the BB-3 service tool, or a laptop with BODEM software.

The operating hydraulic section of the PC5500E-6 shop manual describes the floating function of boom and stick cylinders, the hydraulic circuits for the attachment cylinders on both Front Shovel Attachment (FSA) and Backhoe Attachment (BHA), the swing circuit with its swing motor, swing gear box, swing parking brake, swing brake valve and swing monitoring system, and the travel circuit with rotary distributor, travel gear, parking brake and travel brake valve block. The hydraulic track tensioning system, the hydraulically operated access ladder, and the cable drum are each treated in their own dedicated sections.

The Components section covers main control blocks and high pressure filters for both FSA and BHA, distributor manifolds and restrictor blocks, anti-cavitation valve blocks, remote control valves, directional solenoid valves, proportional solenoid valves, high pressure filters, load holding valves, travel brake valves, pressure reducing valves, and pressure increasing valves.

The Disassembly and Assembly portion of the Komatsu PC5500E-6 shop manual provides removal and replacement procedures for the superstructure, undercarriage, and attachment. Superstructure procedures include the service crane, electric motors with final alignment, capacitor assemblies, batteries, the Vulkan flexible coupling, PTO and main pumps, auxiliary pumps, the pump distributor gearbox, hydraulic cooler fan drive pump, hydraulic cooler fan assembly, hydraulic oil coolers and cooler frame, main relief valves, pilot oil pump, main gate valve, hydraulic oil reservoir, main control valve blocks, service line relief valves, anti-cavitation valves, throttle check valves, manifold, slew gear, swing motor, slew parking brake, dynamic slew brake, swing circle, lubrication system components, operator’s cab, cab mounts, front window, operator’s seat, ECS text display, cab base (medium voltage switch cabinet), pump controller, access ladder, counterweight, superstructure lifting, high voltage switch cabinet, and slip ring unit.

Undercarriage procedures in the PC5500E-6 shop manual cover the track group, sprocket and segmented sprocket, guide wheels, track tensioning accumulators, track tensioning valve block, hydraulic hoses of the track tensioning system, track tensioning cylinders, travel brake valve block, travel motors, travel parking brake, travel gearbox, carrier roller, track roller, car body and crawler carriers for both pinned and bolted undercarriage types, rotary joint, cable drum assembly, and cable supply.

Attachment procedures cover both the Backhoe Attachment (BHA) and Face Shovel Attachment (FSA), including removal and replacement of the boom, boom cylinders, stick, stick cylinders, bucket, bucket cylinders, bucket link rod and steering rods, ground engaging tools, hydraulic hoses, metering valves (grease injectors), and a cylinder bypass test.

Specifications and Technical Data in the PC5500E-6 Shop Manual

The Specification section provides the working data a technician needs for the PC5500E-6. Engine data covers the Komatsu SSA12V159 diesel engine and the optional Komatsu SDA12V159E-2 Tier 2 certified engine, each rated at 940 kW (1260 HP) at 1800 rpm. Electric drive data covers the 2x squirrel-cage induction motors rated at 2x 900 kW, 6600 V, with optional 60 Hz at 1800 rpm. Hydraulic data includes main pump flow rate of 4200 ltr/min, relief valve setting of 310 bar, swing flow rate of 700 ltr/min, filtration details, and drive and brake specifications. Service capacities are listed for hydraulic oil tank (3800 ltr), hydraulic system (6000 ltr), fuel (10,800 ltr), engine coolant (2x 360 ltr), and engine oil (2x 190 ltr). Operating weights are given for the PC5500 backhoe with 1350 mm and 1800 mm shoe widths.

Safety, Tools and Service Information

The safety section of the Komatsu PC5500E-6 shop manual covers general precautions common to operation, precautions for maintenance, high pressure fluid hazards, high voltage precautions, air conditioning maintenance, compressed air safety, waste material handling, and special safety equipment including the safety harness in conformity with EN 361. The tools catalogue lists the standard tool case and the special tools used in the disassembly and assembly procedures, with part numbers and quantities.
