Features

The Komatsu SAA6D125E-7 engine is EPA Tier 4 Final emissions certified and provides exceptional performance while reducing fuel consumption. Based on Komatsu proprietary technologies developed over many years, this new diesel engine reduces nitrogen oxides (NOx) by more than 80% when compared to Tier 4 interim 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.vvvv

This new system combines a Komatsu Diesel Particulate Filter (KDPF) and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR). The SCR NOx reduction system injects the correct amount of Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) at the proper rate, thereby decomposing NOx into non-toxic water vapor (H2O) and nitrogen gas (N2).

Komatsu auto idle shutdown automatically shuts the engine down after idling for a set period of time to reduce unnecessary fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. The amount of time before the engine is shutdown can be easily programmed from 5 to 60 minutes.

The PC490LC-11's enhanced P Mode provides more hydraulic flow and

increases productivity up to 13%

(compared to the PC490LC-10 in standard P Mode)

The electronic control system sets the rotation speed of the cooling fan according to the coolant, hydraulic oil, and ambient temperatures; effectively uses the engine output to reduce wasteful fuel consumption; and reduces noise during low-speed fan operation.

Lateral stability is significantly increased when operating with the gauge extended (compared to fixed gauge). With track frames retracted, overall width complies with many local transportation regulations.

Large displacement hydraulic implement pumps provide high flow output at lower engine RPM as well as operation at the most efficient engine speed.

Booms and arms are constructed with thick plates of high tensile strength steel. In addition, these structures are designed with large cross sectional areas and large one piece castings in the boom foot, the boom tip, and the arm tip. The result is work equipment that exhibits long term durability and high resistance to bending and torsional stress. A standard HD boom design provides increased strength and reliability.

Locations of the engine oil check and filters are integrated into one side to allow easy maintenance and service.

An updated large high resolution LCD color monitor enables accurate and smooth work. The interface has been redesigned to display key machine information in a new user friendly interface. A rear view camera and an DEF level gauge display have been added to the default main screen. The interface has a function that enables the main screen mode to be switched, thus enabling the optimum screen information for the particular work situation to be displayed.

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

High performance filters are used in the hydraulic circuit and engine. By increasing the oil and filter replacement intervals, maintenance costs can be significantly reduced.

Large capacity air cleaner is comparable to that of larger machines. The larger air cleaner can extend air cleaner life during long-term operation and helps prevent early clogging, and resulting power loss. A reliable seal design is used for reliability.

A large tank volume extends operating time before refilling and is installed on the right front stairway for ease of access.

The PC490LC-11 is equipped with a ROPS cab that conforms to ISO 12117-2 for excavators as standard equipment. It also satisfies the requirements for Level 1 Operator Protective Guard (OPG) and top guard (ISO 10262).
