Komatsu D65EX-15, D65PX-15, D65WX-15 Bulldozer Operation and Maintenance Manual (TEN00013-00)
These D65-15 dozers usually live on construction pads, landfills, and quarry faces, pushing hard all day in dust and mud. This Operation and Maintenance Manual is what I’d keep in the truck to set a solid service rhythm and keep the machine ready to work. When a customer says the dozer feels “sluggish on a slope” or “blade response is off,” I use this book to walk through basic checks, confirm the right inspection sequence, and rule out simple maintenance issues before calling in heavier diagnostics.
Applications & Use Cases
- Plan routine services so you can schedule greasing, filter changes, and basic adjustments around production instead of during it.
- Trace early wear in undercarriage, blade linkages, and steering response using the recommended inspection logic.
- Verify operating practices for new operators, reducing abuse from bad habits like riding the brakes or over-revving.
- Stabilize performance under continuous load by following the manual’s guidance on warm-up, shutdown, and daily checks.
- Minimize downtime by using the manual to quickly isolate whether a complaint is operator-related, maintenance-related, or needs a technician.
FAQ
Q: Can I use this manual on a tablet in the field?
A: Yes, it’s practical to keep a digital copy on a tablet or laptop so you can zoom diagrams and search procedures right at the machine.
Q: Is it worth printing parts of this manual?
A: Many techs print the daily/periodic check pages and keep them in a binder or in the cab for quick reference and checkoffs.
Safety Note
Always follow the manual’s safety instructions before inspecting, adjusting, or working under any raised component.
