About KOManual

Komatsu Manual, referred commonly as KOManual, is an app designed and developed by Komatsu Pakistan Soft (KPS) that digitalizes service manuals, user guides and shop manuals to assist operatives in dealing with Komatsu heavy equipment. It features all essential information required to optimize operational and maintenance capabilities of Komatsu equipment by using PDF & DjVu formats for service manuals, user guides and shop manuals. With support for iPads and tablets (Windows & Android), KOManual adds new meaning to the concept of mobility viewing in heavy equipment industry.

KOManual reflects upon the innovation and creativity that Komatsu has introduced in working with heavy equipment over the years and caters aptly to the need of convenient access to user manuals and guides.
