Environment-Friendly Engine

Advanced Electronic Control System

The Komatsu SAA6D114E-5 engine is EPA Tier 4

Interim and EU Stage 3B emissions certified and
provides exceptional performance while reducing
fuel consumption. Based on Komatsu proprietary
technologies developed over many years, this new diesel
engine reduces exhaust gas particulate matter (PM) by
more than 90% and nitrogen oxide (NOx) by more than
45%, compared to Tier 3 levels. Through the in-house
development and production of engines, electronics,
and hydraulic components, Komatsu has achieved great
advancements in technology providing high levels of
performance and efficiency in virtually all applications.

The engine control system has been upgraded to

effectively manage a variety of parameters such as
the air flow rate, EGR gas flow rate, fuel injection
parameters, and aftertreatment functions. The new
control system also provides enhanced diagnostic
capabilities.

Komatsu Variable Geometry Turbocharger

(KVGT)
Using Komatsu proprietary technology, a newly designed
variable geometry turbocharger with a hydraulic actuator
is used to manage and deliver optimum air flow to
the combustion chamber under all speed and load
conditions. The robust hydraulic actuator provides power
and precision,
resulting in cleaner
exhaust gas
and improved
fuel economy
while maintaining
performance.

Cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR)

Cooled EGR, a technology that has been well proven
in Komatsu Tier 3 engines, reduces NOx emission to
meet Tier 4 levels. The hydraulically-actuated EGR
system has increased
capacity and uses
larger and more
robust components
to ensure reliability
for demanding work
conditions.

Redesigned combustion chamber

The combustion chamber has a new shape designed to
improve combustion and further reduce NOx, PM, fuel
consumption, and noise levels.

Closed Crankcase Ventilation (CCV)

Crankcase emissions (blow-by
gas) are passed through a CCV
filter. The CCV filter traps oil
mist which is returned back to
the crankcase while the filtered
gas is returned to the air intake.

High efficiency fuel filter

A new high efficiency fuel filter
improves fuel system reliability.
The dual-type filter offers twice
the filtration capacity.

Working Environment

Komatsu Diesel Particulate Filter (KDPF )

Komatsu has developed a high efficiency diesel
particulate filter that captures more than 90% of
particulate matter. Both passive and active regeneration
are automatically initiated by the engine controller
depending on the soot level of the KDPF. A special
oxidation catalyst with a fuel injection system is used
to oxidize and remove particulate matter while the
machine is running so the regeneration process will
not interfere with daily
operation. The operator
can also initiate
regeneration manually
or disable regeneration
depending on the
work environment.

KDPF Regeneration Notification

Selectable Working Mode

The LCD color monitor panel provides the operator

with the status of the KDPF regeneration without
interfering with daily
operation. When the
machine initiates active
regeneration, an icon
will notify the operator.

Working mode E is for general dozing applications

with adequate speed and power while reducing fuel
consumption and
CO2. Working mode
P is aimed at powerful
operation and
maximum production.
The working mode
is easily switched on
the monitor panel,
depending on the
work at hand.

Manual Stationary Regeneration

Under most conditions, active regeneration will occur
automatically with no effect on machine operation.
In case the operator
needs to disable active
regeneration or initiate
a manual stationary
regeneration, such as
in high-combustible
applications, this can
be easily accomplished
through the monitor panel. The soot level indicator
identifies how much soot is trapped in the KDPF.

E mode (Economy mode)

With E mode, the engine outputs enough power for
most general dozing applications without delivering
unnecessary power. This mode allows for energysaving operation and is suitable for work on ground
where the machine may experience shoe slip or
applications not requiring large power such as
downhill dozing, leveling and light-load work.
P mode (Power mode)

With P mode, the engine outputs its full power,

allowing the machine to perform large production,
heavy-load, or uphill work.

Outstanding Productivity
SIGMADOZER The Next Generation Blade

D65-17

Based on a completely new digging theory,

SIGMADOZER dramatically improves dozing
performance and increases productivity. A new frontal
design concept adopted for digging and rolling material
up at the center of the blade increases soil holding
capacity while simultaneously reducing side spillage. It
also reduces digging resistance, producing a smoother
flow of earth, enabling the dozing of larger quantities of
soil with less power.

Automatic Transmission with Lockup Torque Converter

The lockup mechanism of the torque converter is

automatically actuated to transfer engine power directly
to the transmission in travelling and usual dozing speed
ranges. Locking up the torque converter results in 10%
improved drive train efficiency. Because the electronically
controlled Tier 4 Interim engine is extremely efficient, an
additional 5% decrease in fuel consumption is realized
while also maintaining machine power.

When the shift pattern is set to either <F1-R2>,

<F2-R1>, <F2-R2>, <F2-R3L> or <F3L-R3L> in the
automatic mode, the transmission automatically shifts to
the preset gear when the travel control joystick is set to
Forward or Reverse position, reducing work cycle time
and operator effort. Shift patterns <F2-R3L> and <F3LR3L> are newly added for high-speed leveling operation.

Automatic shift mode

Select for all general dozing. When a load is applied,
the transmission automatically shifts down, and
when the load is off, it automatically shifts up to a set
maximum gear speed. This mode economizes both
fuel and production further when the torque converter
lockup mechanism is actuated according to load,
providing a one-to-one drive.

Newly Integrated ROPS Cab

A newly designed cab; wider, deeper and taller, is
integrated with the ROPS. High rigidity and superb
sealing performance greatly reduce noise and vibration
for the operator and minimize dust entering the cab.
The standard air-ride seat positions the operator
3" higher and 4" closer to the blade. The taller and
narrower battery box and tanks plus larger glass area
also improve visibility of the blade, sides, and rear of the
machine. Cab meets OSHA/MSHA ROPS and FOPS
Level 2 standards.

Comfortable Ride with Cab Damper Mounting

The D65s cab mount uses a cab damper which
provides excellent shock and vibration absorption
capacity. The long stroke cab damper mounts soften
shocks and vibration while traveling over adverse
conditions, which conventional rubber mounting systems
are unable to match. The cab damper spring isolates the
cab from the machine body, suppressing vibration and
providing a quiet, comfortable operating environment.
Interior noise level is 75 dB(A).

Various meters, gauges and warning functions are

centrally arranged
on the multi-monitor.
The monitor simplifies
start-up inspection
and promptly warns
the operator with a

abnormalities should
occur. In addition, countermeasures are indicated in 4
levels to help prevent major problems. Replacement
times for oil and filters are also indicated.

Gull-wing Engine Side Covers

The engine side covers are gull-wing type with a gas
spring, and the opening angle of the cover is further
increased to facilitate engine maintenance
and filter replacement.

Oil Pressure Check Ports

Pressure check ports for power train components are
centralized to promote quick and simple diagnosis.

Wide Core Cooling System

In addition to improved engine compartment sealing,
a new wide core cooling system is standard. Radiator,
oil cooler and charge air cooler use large square-wave
fins spaced at 6 fins
per inch. This allows
more material to pass
through, which helps
self-cleaning and
reduces maintenance.

Battery Disconnect Switch

A standard battery disconnect switch allows a technician
to disconnect the power supply before servicing the
machine.

addition, wear limits of the link and carrier roller are
increased to balance with the extended service life
of the bushing.

Self-adjusting Idler Support

Self-adjusting idler

Komatsu Oil and Wear Analysis (KOWA)

The KOWA program uses independent laboratories across
the United States to determine how your machine is
performing based on a small sample of oil or other fluid. Just

health, KOWA allows you to check how your equipment is
performing. Used with PM Clinic and PM Tune Up, KOWA
is one of your best tools for proactively maintaining your
Komatsu equipment and maximizing its availability and
