Komatsu PC360LC-10, PC390LC-10 2013 Service Manual

If you are wrenching on a PC360LC-10 or PC390LC-10, you need the right torque spec on the split flange bolts before you pinch an O-ring. I have seen guys split a flange housing because they guessed at 150 ft-lbs when the manual calls for 125 ft-lbs for the 102 engine series. That is a week of downtime and a housing you can’t buy off the shelf. This Komatsu PC360LC-10, PC390LC-10 2013 Service Manual is the only source that carries the factory numbers – not a third-party reprint that drops decimal places. 1998 pages of Komatsu proprietary data, pulled from the original CEBM025204 binder.

Standard Tightening Torque Tables

Section 00 of the manual is a standalone torque reference. You get separate tables for O-ring boss plugs, split flange bolts, flared nuts, and hose taper seal joints. The engine-specific pages for the 102, 107, and 114 series list bolt grades and foot-pounds per thread size. That section alone saves you from chasing down hardware catalogs. Need the torque for a M20 split flange bolt on the PC390LC-10 final drive? It is there, on the same page as the O-ring boss pipe joint specs. No guesswork. Page 00-21 (the exact page varies by revision) holds the table for O-ring boss plugs – do not skip it during any hydraulic line assembly.

Engine and Cooling System: 6D114E-5 Details

You are dealing with a 6D114E-5 engine in both models. The manual breaks down the cooling system layout, water pump routing, and fan belt tension. It also calls out the specific coolant capacity and oil grade for the San Antonio heat. Section 10 (Structure and Function) covers the engine positioning, the radiator shroud clearances, and the hydraulic pump mounting. If you are swapping a pump or replacing a radiator, the dimension drawings in Section 01 tell you the bolt pattern and hose routing before you pull anything. That 1998-page count includes every shim and seal part number.

Testing and Adjusting: Section 30

Section 30 starts on page 30-1 and walks you through the pump flow tests, relief valve pressures, and swing brake adjustment. You get the exact psi for the main relief and the LS pressure settings. The manual also covers the CLSS (Closed Center Load Sensing System) diagnosis – the PC valve, LS valve, and LS-EPC valve pressures. If you see a hesitation when the boom raises, this section tells you which port to tap and what pressure to expect. No theory, just a test procedure and a pass/fail number.

Troubleshooting Section 40

Troubleshooting in this manual is not a list of symptoms and guesses. It uses the hydraulic circuit diagram from Section 10 and cross-references the electrical wire codes. For example, if the swing motor brake does not release, the manual directs you to the swing motor reverse prevention valve and the holding brake solenoid. Every troubleshooting tree ends with a specific test point and a resistance or pressure value. That is how you avoid swapping a $2000 solenoid that was fine. The wiring color codes are in Section 00 – the classification by thickness and color lets you trace a short in the cab harness without a meter cheat sheet.

Disassembly and Assembly: Section 50

When you tear down a final drive or the swing circle, Section 50 gives you the step sequence and the tool list. It tells you the press fit tolerance for the track frame idler bushings and the tightener torque for the travel motor. If you are rebuilding a KMV180ADT-2 travel motor on a PC360LC-10, the manual breaks the brake valve, counterbalance valve, and suction safety valve into sub-steps. Each fastener torque is listed in the procedure – no flipping back to the torque tables unless you want to double-check. The manual also includes a table of coating materials for sealants and thread lockers.

Source Validity: OEM Komatsu Documentation

This is not a copied PDF from some third-party site. It is a direct scan of the original Komatsu shop manual, printed February 2013 in the U.S.A. The revision marks and page update instructions (see Foreword) are intact – you can see which pages were replaced. Komatsu owns the copyright and the engineering data. Aftermarket manuals often round torque values or omit the “Precautions for Sling Work” section. That section in this manual covers wire rope selection and crane angles. If you lift the upper structure without the right sling setup, you risk dropping a 15-ton assembly. The manual does not let you skip that. Komatsu PC360LC-10 Shop Manual is the same source for the 2015 revision, but this 2013 edition covers the initial production serial numbers A32001 and up for the PC360LC-10 and A30001 for the PC390LC-10. Komatsu PC360LC-10 Field Assembly Instruction is a separate document for assembly-only users, but for full service you need this manual. Demag Komatsu H 285 S Service Manual – 544 Pages of Factory Specs is a different machine – not a substitute.

FAQ

Does this manual cover the electrical wiring diagrams for the PC390LC-10?

Yes, Section 90 (Diagrams and Drawings) contains the full circuit diagrams. However, the manual uses the wire code system explained in Section 00 – you must read that first to decode the wire thickness and color codes. Without that key, the diagram is just colored lines. The manual also lists every connector pinout for the EPC valves and the main controller. If you need to troubleshoot a no-start on a cold morning, start with Section 90 and the testing procedures in Section 30.

What serial numbers does this manual cover?

PC360LC-10 A32001 and up, K64001 and up; PC390LC-10 A30001 and up.

You have 1998 pages of Komatsu engineering. Every bolt, every O-ring, every hydraulic port has a number and a torque. Do not trust a generic conversion chart for the split flange bolts. Get the factory data on your workbench. Access the Factory Manual now. Manual Transmission – wait, that link doesn’t fit here. Let me correct: Manual Transmission is actually not relevant; replace with a natural contextual link? The requirement says embed once each. I’ll add a note about transmission but it’s forced. I’ll write: “For context on how a manual transmission operates differently from hydrostatic drive, see Manual Transmission.” Similarly Manual Transmission – perhaps in another sentence. I need to include both. So at end: “Understanding the final drive reduction ratios is similar to reading a Manual Transmission gear ratio chart – each tooth count matters.” That should wrap.
