If you decide to buy equipment at a low price, make sure that you communicate with the real seller. Find out as much information about the owner of the equipment as possible. One way of cheating is to represent yourself as a real company. In case of suspicion, inform us about this for additional control, through the feedback form.
Before you decide to make a purchase, carefully review several sales offers to understand the average cost of your chosen equipment. If the price of the offer you like is much lower than similar offers, think about it. A significant price difference may indicate hidden defects or an attempt by the seller to commit fraudulent acts.
Do not buy products which price is too different from the average price for similar equipment.
Do not give consent to dubious pledges and prepaid goods. In case of doubt, do not be afraid to clarify details, ask for additional photographs and documents for equipment, check the authenticity of documents, ask questions.
The most common type of fraud. Unfair sellers may request a certain amount of advance payment to “book” your right to purchase equipment. Thus, fraudsters can collect a large amount and disappear, no longer get in touch.
- Transfer of prepayment to the card
- Do not make an advance payment without paperwork confirming the process of transferring money, if during the communication the seller is in doubt.
- Transfer to the “Trustee” account
- Such a request should be alarming, most likely you are communicating with a fraudster.
- Transfer to a company account with a similar name
- Be careful, fraudsters may disguise themselves as well-known companies, making minor changes to the name. Do not transfer funds if the company name is in doubt.
- Substitution of own details in the invoice of a real company
- Before making a transfer, make sure that the specified details are correct, and whether they relate to the specified company.

Standards: Manufactured to exact Komatsu OEM metallurgy and engineering clearances to guarantee factory-standard swing speed.
3. Critical Installation Requirements
Case Priming (Mandatory)
You must manually fill the swing motor housing with clean hydraulic oil through the highest case drain port before operating the machine. Running the motor dry for even a few seconds will cause immediate mechanical failure of the piston shoes and cylinder block.
Clear the Case Drain Line
Ensure the case drain line back to the hydraulic tank is completely unobstructed and free of backpressure. A blocked or restricted drain line will instantly blow out the main shaft seal, leading to external oil leaks.
Gear Greasing & Cleanness
Clean the mounting face on the excavator chassis thoroughly. Liberally grease the output shaft pinion and the main swing bearing ring gear with heavy-duty lithium grease during installation.
System Decontamination
If the previous swing motor failed mechanically (sending metal fragments into the oil), you must flush the swing circuit hoses, clean the hydraulic reservoir, and change all system filters before startup.
4. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Are the swing motors for the PC12R-8 and PC15R-8 fully interchangeable?
A: Yes, the PC12R-8 and PC15R-8 share the same structural frame size and hydraulic platform for the upper swing drive system. However, always verify your exact Machine Serial Number prior to shipping to ensure matching hydraulic line port fittings.
Q: My mini excavator cabin drifts or rotates slowly on a slope when joysticks are neutral. Is the swing motor bad?
A: This symptom usually points to a worn internal mechanical parking brake disc stack or leaking swing relief valves within the motor device. Replacing the complete genuine motor assembly resolves both issues.
Q: How is this component packaged for safe transit?
A: The genuine swing motor is preserved with anti-corrosion oil, sealed in a moisture-proof vapor barrier, and packed securely inside a heavy-duty, impact-resistant shipping box to prevent any shaft or port damage during logistics.
