    TRUCK COMPONENTS AND SPECIFICATIONS

    Truck And EngineThe 830E-AC dump truck is an off-highway, reardump truck with AC electric drive. The gross vehicleweight is 385 852 kg (850,650 lbs.). The engine is aKomatsu SDA16V160 rated @ 1865 kW (2500 hp).

    Alternator (G.E. GTA-41)The diesel engine drives an in-line alternator atengine speed. The alternator produces AC currentwhich is rectified to DC within the main control cabi-net. The rectified DC power is converted back to ACby groups of devices called "inverters", also withinthe main control cabinet. Each inverter consists of six"phase modules" under the control of a "gate driveunit" (GDU). The GDU controls the operation of eachphase module.

    Cooling air for the control / power group and wheelmotors, as well as the alternator itself, is provided bydual fans mounted on the alternator shaft.

    AC Induction Traction Motorized WheelsThe alternator output supplies electrical energy to thetwo wheel motors attached to the rear axle housing.The motorized wheels use three-phase AC inductionmotors with full-wave AC power.

    The two wheel motors convert electrical energy backto mechanical energy through built-in gear trainswithin the wheel motor assembly. The direction of thewheel motors is controlled by the directional controllever located on the center console.

    SuspensionHydrairII suspension cylinders located at eachwheel provide a smooth and comfortable ride for theoperator and dampens shock loads to the chassisduring loading and operation.

    Operator's CabThe operator cab has been engineered for operatorcomfort and to allow for efficient and safe operationof the truck. The cab provides wide visibility, with anintegral 4-post ROPS/FOPS structure, and anadvanced analog operator environment. It includes atinted safety-glass windshield and power-operatedside windows, a deluxe interior with a fully adjustableseat with lumbar support, a fully adjustable tilt/tele-scope steering wheel, controls mounted within easyreach of the operator, and an analog instrumentpanel which provides the operator with all instru-ments and gauges which are necessary to controland/or monitor the truck's operating systems.

    Power SteeringThe truck is equipped with a full time power steeringsystem which provides positive steering control withminimum operator effort. The system includes nitro-gen-charged accumulators which automatically pro-vide emergency power if the steering hydraulicpressure is reduced below an established minimum.

    Dynamic RetardingThe dynamic retarding is used to slow the truck dur-ing normal operation or control speed coming down agrade. The dynamic retarding ability of the electricsystem is controlled by the operator through the acti-vation of the retarder pedal in the operators cab andby setting the RSC (Retarder Speed Control).Dynamic retarding is automatically activated, if thetruck speed goes to a preset overspeed setting.

    Brake SystemThe braking system consists of an all hydraulic actu-ation system. Depressing the brake pedal actuateswheel-speed single disc front brakes and armature-speed dual disc rear brakes. The brakes can also beactivated by operating a switch on the instrumentpanel. The brakes will be applied automatically if sys-tem pressure decreases below a preset minimum.

    The parking brake is integral with the service brakecaliper, and is spring-applied and hydraulically-released. The park brake is applied by moving thedirectional control lever to the PARK position.

    FIELD WELDING FOR ASSEMBLY OR REPAIRWhen welding on Komatsu equipment, whether atinitial field assembly or during normal maintenancerepairs, special procedures must be followed.

    Due to the continuous program of research anddevelopment, periodic revisions may be made to thispublication. It is recommended that customers con-tact their distributors for information on the latest revi-sion.

    The welding information contained in this chapter isgeneral information that must be followed unless oth-erwise specified in a detailed repair procedure pro-vided on an engineering drawing or a detailedspecific repair procedure. Additional specific informa-tion, or detailed instructions can be obtained throughyour local Komatsu customer support manager.

    WELDER QUALIFICATION AND TRAININGThe welding technique must be of the highest stan-dard to produce the soundest weld possible. Onlywelders who have been trained and qualified forstructural steel welding in all positions, in conform-ance with the American Welding Society (AWS) D1.1or (AWS) D14.3 only, are allowed to perform thewelding. The welding instructions for field assemblyof Komatsu components are normally provided byengineering drawings. Additional detailed weldinginstructions for field repairs are provided in the fieldrepair manual SEB14001. A full understanding of theAWS standard welding symbols is necessary to per-form and inspect such field welds. Weld sizes speci-fied on the drawings are intended to reflect minimumrequirements.

    WELD PROCEDURESElectric arc welding, either the semi-automatic MIG(GMAW), Flux Core (FCAW), or Stick electrodewelding (SMAW), are approved processes for fieldinstallation and maintenance welding. Welding ofhighly stressed structural members such as castings,torque tubes, top and bottom plates on the framerails, and the curved intersection points of framesshould be done with the specific detailed instructionsfrom Komatsu Product Service. See Annex A forrepair procedures. These repair procedures aredetailed instructions for most high stressed structuralmembers.

    APPROVED CONSUMABLESGMAW - LW102-15 or ER80S-D2

    FCAW - E70T-5, E71T-8, or E71T8-NI1

    SMAW - E7018-1, E8018-C1, or E8018-C3

    WELD QUALITY REQUIREMENTS1. Each weld must be homogeneous with low

    porosity, free from cracks, and slag inclusions.2. Each weld must have complete fusion between

    the base metal and weld metal added by theelectrode.

    3. All welds must be reasonably smooth, withoutexcessive deformity, and all craters filled. Nocracks are permitted.

    4. The toe of a weld to a stressed member musthave a smooth transition. Excessive convexityin multi-pass fillet welds is not permitted. Exces-sive convexity produces high residual stress inthe throat of the weld, and is not permitted.

    5. Undercut in excess of 0.8 mm (0.03 in.) on criti-cal welds must be reworked by the applicationof welding an additional cover pass. It is impor-tant that this pass is blended with the existingweld.

  • Page 4-2 Field Welding For Assembly Or Repair FAM0403

    6. When welding in the vertical position, alwaysweld using the vertical up technique. Largewash weld weaves should not be used whenwelding on truck frames. Properly applied multi-ple pass welding is the required procedure ontruck frames.

    7. Slag is to be removed from all weld beads, andmust be completely removed before each passin a multiple pass procedure. It is also requiredthat all slag is removed and tie in all areas.Grind all welds where a weld crosses or inter-sects with another weld.

    MATERIALS, CONTROLS, AND PRECAUTIONSThe steel used in the fabrication of all Komatsuequipment is of high strength low alloy (HSLA) mate-rial of different grades. The standard dump bodymain plates are made from abrasion resistant materi-als. These materials offer themselves very well towelding during fabrication, and repair.

    The welding consumables are often supplied byKomatsu America Corp. with the new equipment aspart of the field welding / assembly package. For fieldwelding and repairs, the approved consumables asdetailed, should be procured from a local, reliablesupplier. Other highly specialized welding consum-ables are available but have limited use on Komatsustructural components. Approval is required fromyour Komatsu customer support manager.

    Control of the welding area environment is essentialfor producing proper and sound welds. Essentially,five areas require attention and control.

    1. Air Movement - Avoid areas where air move-ment from wind, drafts, or blowers is prevalent.This is particularly important when a shieldinggas is being used as part of the welding pro-cess.

    2. Low Ambient Temperature - DO NOT weld intemperatures below 50F (10C). At low tem-perature conditions, preheating of all weldingjoint work areas is required. See preheat andpost heating requirements as detailed in AnnexA.

    3. Weld Cooling - Protect the weld area from arapid cooling rate. Heat retardation may beaccomplished through the use of heat lamps,torches, insulating blankets, etc.

    4. Moisture - Any moisture on the steel surfaces tobe welded must be removed before welding.Electrodes must be stored in sealed containersuntil needed. Electrodes must be kept in awarming oven at the work location until used toprevent any moisture absorption which mightaffect weld quality.

    5. Foreign Materials - Any foreign substances(dirt, paint, rust, scale, and carbon depositsfrom cuttings) must be removed prior to weld-ing. Clean all weld areas and surfaces with agrinder to ensure that all foreign materials havebeen removed.

    WELD INSPECTIONAll welding repairs are subject to inspection by aKomatsu appointed inspector or laboratory to insurequality. After the weld has been made it can beinspected by a number of non-destructive evaluationtechniques. The inspections can include any of themethods listed below. All assembly welds and weldrepairs that are deemed unacceptable by the inspec-tor must be corrected at no additional cost to Kom-atsu. All weld repairs are also subject to additionalinspection.

    1. Visual Inspection - This is the process of look-ing for potential defects such as undersizedwelds that can be checked with weld gaugesfor, surface cracks, surface porosity, craters,and undercuts.

  • FAM0403 Field Welding For Assembly Or Repair Page 4-3

    2. Dye Penetrant Inspection - This is an easilyapplied process which indicates cracks or sur-face conditions. The process is relatively inex-pensive, but does not produce a permanentrecord except by normal photography.

    3. Fluorescent Penetrant Inspection - Similar todye penetrant inspection. This process uses ablack (ultraviolet) light for increased efficiencyand accuracy.

    4. Magnetic Particle Inspection - This processrequires special equipment that is usually morecostly than the dye penetrant inspections. Thisprocess does not provide a permanent recordexcept by normal photography.

    5. Ultrasonic Inspection - This is a popular methodof examining weld discontinuities. Specializedequipment and operator certification is required.With some equipment printed data is availableof the test providing a permanent record. Also,operator records with equipment settings andtest results are normally recorded.

    6. X-Ray Inspection - This process provides aview of the weld and base materials but it ishighly specialized. This procedure provides apermanent visual record, but is more expensivethan most other inspection techniques.

    RECORDSKomatsu requires record keeping of all welding work.This information is valuable when personnel or jobconditions change. The service and warranty depart-ments of Komatsu must be provided with inspectionreports and photographs of the weld area before,during, and after the repair. The photographs mustbe clear and close enough to show the weld jointpreparation complete, with backer bars installed, etc.just prior to welding. These photos easily identify ifthe required preheating and post heating have beendone with a three inch circumference around theweld repair area. Without this documentation, Kom-atsu will not cover any weld repair claim made underwarranty. No exceptions will be made.

    ANNEX AThe following are general repair procedures, whichmust be followed for all repair and rework of majorload carrying members on Komatsu equipment.

    1. The repair or rework area must be protectedfrom wind and moisture during the entire proce-dure. If the repair work is to done outside addi-tional precautions must be taken to protect theweld repair process from outside elements. Allwelding should be done at an ambient tempera-ture of 10C (50F) or above.

    2. Clean and grind the entire repair area toremove all rust, grease, oils, paint, and anyother foreign materials likely to contaminate theweld.

  • Page 4-4 Field Welding For Assembly Or Repair FAM0403

    3. Air arc the entire crack leaving a V-shape joint.The depth of the V (or U shaped) joint will bedetermined by the depth of the crack. The widthto depth ratio should be approximately 1.25:1and never less than 1:1. All cracks through theparent material will require a slightly wider rootopening than the original, usually 6 mm (0.25in.) to allow the installation of a backup strip.Backup strips are required for all cracks thathave gone through the parent material and can-not be welded from both sides. If a weld repairallows access to both sides of the plate, nobackup strip is required as long as completeweld penetration is achieved. If backup stripsare not used, the surface profile on both sidesmust be ground smooth with no undercut. Doc-umentation must support this repair. Photo-graphs of surface condition are required by theservice and warranty departments of Komatsu.

    4. Use dye penetrant to ensure the cracks arecompletely removed.

    5. After air arcing and inspections (Steps 3 & 4) allareas cut by the air arc should be cleaned thor-oughly with a grinder to remove all possible car-bon deposits and dye penetrant.

    6. Fill gouges with weld and grind all surfacessmooth to avoid defects in the new weld.

    7. Grind all surfaces to be welded so they are freeof slag, rust, and any other foreign materials.

    8. Preheat the entire weld joint area until the sur-rounding surface area reaches 150C (300F)at a distance of 76 mm (3 in.) from all areas tobe welded.

    9. All welds are to be made with approved con-sumables only. The SMAW (Stick) welding rodmust be used within four hours after beingremoved from a new sealed container or from a52C (125F) minimum drying oven. Any rodthat exceeds this exposure time must be driedfor one hour at 427C (800F) before beingused. Keep all weld starts and stops to a mini-mum.

    10. When the weld is complete, immediately (beforethe weldment cools) post heat the entire weldarea to 150C (300F). Even if the area is over150C (300F) heat must be applied to maintainthis temperature for 15 minutes, and then allowit to cool slowly. In some cases this mightrequire wrapping with insulation blankets.

    11. Grind all butt-welded repairs smooth using 36 orfiner grit grinding material. All grinding marksshould be parallel to the direction of primarystress if possible (and if known).

    12. Hammer peen the toes of repair fillet welds asdetailed in Annex B, see attached.

    13. Inspect repaired areas (for surface defects)using magnetic particle or dye penetrant inspec-tion procedures.

    14. If surface defects are found, remove all defectsby grinding to a maximum depth of 1.5 mm(0.06 in.). Larger defects must be removed asper the above mentioned procedures. All spotwelding also requires preheating and post heat-ing.

    SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS WHEN SERVICING AN AC DRIVE SYSTEM TRUCK

    Consult a qualified technician, specifically trained forservicing the AC drive system, before welding on thetruck.

    The following procedures must be followed to ensurethe safety of maintenance personnel and to help pre-vent damage to the equipment.

    Anytime the engine is on: Do not open any of the cabinet doors or

    remove any covers. Do not use power cables for hand holds or

    foot steps. Do not touch retarder grid elements.

    Before opening any cabinets or touching a gridelement or a power cable, the engine and allwarning lights must be off.

    Engine Stop Procedure Prior To Maintenance

    Perform the following procedure prior to maintenanceto ensure that no hazardous voltages are present inthe AC drive system.

    1. Before turning off the engine, verify the statusof all the drive system warning lights on theoverhead display panel. Use the lamp testswitch to verify that all lamps are functioningproperly.

    2. If all red drive system warning lights are off,turn the engine off.

    3. After the engine has been off for at least fiveminutes, inspect the link voltage lights. Thelights are located on the exterior of the maincontrol cabinet and back wall of the operator'scab (DID panel). If all lights are off, the retard-ing grids, wheel motors, alternator, and powercables connecting these devices are safe towork on.

  • FAM0403 Field Welding For Assembly Or Repair Page 4-9

    Locate the GF cut-out switch in the accesspanel on the left side of the main control cabi-net. Place the switch in the CUTOUT position.This will prevent the alternator from re-energiz-ing and creating system voltage until the switchis returned to its former position.

    After repairs, replace all covers and doors andplace the GF cutout switch and battery discon-nect switches in their original positions. Recon-nect all harnesses prior to starting the truck.

    Leave the drive system in the rest mode untilthe truck is to be moved.

    4. If the red lights on the exterior of the controlcabinet and/or the back wall of the operator'scab continue to be illuminated, a fault hasoccurred.

    Leave all cabinet doors in place. DO NOT touchthe retard grid elements. DO NOT disconnectany power cables or use them as hand or footholds.

    Notify your Komatsu customer service managerimmediately. Only qualified personnel, specifi-cally trained for servicing the AC drive system,may perform this service.

    General Welding Guidelines1. Open the battery disconnect switches and dis-

    connect the battery charging alternator leadwire.

    2. Disconnect all electrical harnesses from theEngine Control System (ECS). The ECS islocated inside the electrical cabinet behind theoperator's cab. Disconnect the ground strapfrom the ECS.

    3. Fasten the welding machine ground (-) lead tothe piece being welded. The grounding clampmust be attached as near as possible to theweld area.

    4. DO NOT weld on the rear of the control cabinet!The metal panels on the back of the cabinet arepart of the capacitors and cannot be heated.

    5. DO NOT weld on the retard grid exhaust lou-vers.

    6. Some power cable panels throughout the truckare made of aluminum or stainless steel. Theymust be repaired with the same material or thepower cables may be damaged.

    7. Power cables must be cleated in wood or othernon-ferrous materials. DO NOT repair cablecleats by encircling the power cables with metalclamps or hardware. Inspect power cable insu-lation prior to servicing the cables and prior toreturning the truck to service. Discard cableswith broken insulation.

    8. Protect power cables and wiring harnessesfrom weld spatter and heat.

    9. DO NOT lay welding cables over or near thevehicle electrical harnesses. Welding voltagemay be induced into the electrical harnessesand cause damage to components.

    10. DO NOT allow welding current to pass throughball bearings, roller bearings, suspensions, orhydraulic cylinders.

    damages. Note any damage found and report toshipping agent.

    2. Spread out all parts and organize per unit num-ber. Check for missing parts. List the unit num-ber of all major components. Verify the cab anddecks are with the correct chassis.

    3. Install support blocks under the chassis. Thesupport blocks must be approximately 84 cm(33 in.) high.

    4. Install support blocks under the rear axle hous-ing. The support blocks must be approximately30 cm (12 in.) high and spread out along theaxle. The support blocks must be a minimum of51 mm (2 in.) away from the wheel motormounting face.

    5. Clean all mounting surfaces on the chassis andon the individual components.

    6. Check all electrical connectors and verify theyare free of paint and/or corrosion. Clean anyconnector with questionable electrical continu-ity.

    7. Check all factory installed components for theproper tightening torque.

    8. Arrange the work site as shown on the followingpage.

    Color Coded BoxesA parts check list will be included in each shippingcrate that is shipped with the truck. The list consistsof several color coded tables that represent a portionof the assembly process. The parts listed in eachtable will be packed in waterproof corrugated PVCboxes that match the color of the header row of thattable.

    The colored boxes, shown in Figure 5-1, will bepacked into shipping crates and shipped with thetruck. Assembly technicians can then locate the col-ored boxes that match the color of the operation(table) being performed. The boxes will be packedinto the crate in chronological order. Parts neededearly in the assembly process will be located nearthe top of the crates.

    To allow for maximum flexibility, the color code maydiffer from unit to unit. However, colors shown on thecheck sheet will still match the color of the packingboxes used.

    Due to the limited amount of different colored boxesavailable, some colors may be repeated.

    Tables in the checklist that have no color code con-tain parts that are not boxed. Similarly, tables that arecolor coded may also contain parts that are notboxed. These parts are highlighted in yellow.
