Komatsu D61EX-24, D61PX-24 Bulldozer Operation and Maintenance Manual (EENAM03457)

On these D61EX-24 and D61PX-24 dozers, you’re usually pushing grade all day in rough, dusty conditions, often on slopes or soft ground. This Operation and Maintenance Manual is what I keep handy to set a solid service rhythm and train operators to treat the machine right. It walks you through how to run the dozer without abusing the drivetrain, and how to schedule checks so you catch things like early undercarriage wear before it turns into downtime.

Applications & Use Cases

Set up a daily/weekly inspection routine so operators know exactly what to inspect before and after shifts.
Trace early signs of trouble in steering, blade response, or track behavior to decide if it’s safe to keep running or needs shop time.
Plan preventive maintenance around your actual workload so the dozer is serviced during lulls, not when it fails mid-cut.
Verify correct startup and shutdown habits to protect the engine, hydraulics, and emissions components.
Train new operators on proper control use and machine limits to keep production steady and avoid abuse.

FAQ

Q: Can I keep this manual on a tablet in the cab?

A: Yes, it’s practical to use digitally; just make sure the file is downloadable and saved offline for jobsites with poor signal.

Q: Is it worth printing parts of this manual?

A: I’d print the inspection checklists and key maintenance pages, laminate them, and keep them in the service truck or site office.

Safety Note

Always follow the manual’s safety instructions before inspecting, adjusting, or servicing any part of the machine.
