Komatsu D85EXi-18E0, D85PXi-18E0 Bulldozer Operation and Maintenance Manual (EENAM04161)
These D85EXi / D85PXi dozers live in tough places—mass excavation, landfill work, heavy push on roadbuilding fills—and they’re expected to run hard all day. This Operation and Maintenance Manual is what I keep nearby to set a sane service rhythm, so the machine doesn’t quit in the middle of a slope or a cut. When, for example, the machine starts losing pushing power after a long shift, I use this book to walk through basic checks and routine service steps before calling in bigger guns.
Applications & Use Cases
- Plan preventive maintenance so filters, fluids, and wear items are handled on time, not after a breakdown.
- Set a daily/weekly inspection routine to trace early signs of track, blade, or undercarriage wear before it turns into downtime.
- Verify correct operating practices for grading and pushing so the intelligent control and drivetrain aren’t abused.
- Isolate simple operator-level faults—warning lights, odd noises, heat issues—before assuming major failure.
- Coordinate parts and shop work by knowing what needs to be inspected or replaced at upcoming service windows.
FAQ
Q: Can I keep this manual on a tablet in the cab?
A: Yes, it’s practical to use digitally; you can zoom diagrams and search terms, then print key pages you want at the workbench.
Q: Is this still useful if a dealer does most of my servicing?
A: Definitely; it helps you schedule visits, describe symptoms clearly, and avoid running the dozer past safe service points.
Safety Note
Always follow the manual’s lockout, support, and shutdown instructions before inspecting or working around the machine.
