1.1 FOREWORD
This manual has been produced by Komatsu Utility S.p.A. in order to supply their customers with all the neces-
q
sary information on the machine and the safety regulations related to it, together with the use and maintenance
instructions that enable the operator to exploit the capacity of the machine with optimal results and to keep the
machine efficient over time.
The operation manual, together with the spare parts catalogue, is an integral part of the machine and must ac-
q
company it, even when it is resold, until its final disposal.
The manual must be handled with the greatest care and always kept on board the machine, so that it can be
q
consulted at any moment; it must be placed in the appropriate compartment behind the seat, where also the
ownership documents and the logbook are usually kept (see "3.5.9 TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION").
This manual must be given to the persons who have to use the machine and carry out the routine maintenance
q
operations; they must read the contents carefully more than once, in such a way as to clearly understand what
are the correct operating conditions and the dangerous conditions that must be avoided.
In case of loss or damage, request a new copy to Komatsu or your Komatsu Dealer.
The illustrations contained in this manual may represent machine configurations available on request.
q
The machines are constantly upgraded in order to increase their efficiency and reliability; this manual sums up
all the information regarding the state of the art at the moment when the machine is launched on the market.
Contact your Komatsu Dealer for updated information.
Punctual periodic annotations regarding the maintenance operations that have been carried out are important to
q
have a clear prospect of the situation and to know exactly what has been done and what has to be done after the
next maintenance interval. Therefore, it is advisable to consult both the hour meter and the maintenance plan
frequently.
Komatsu Dealers have gathered a considerable amount of experience over years of work in close contact with
q
the users.
If more information is needed, do not hesitate to contact your Komatsu Dealer: he always knows how to get the
best performance from the machine, he can recommend the equipment that is most suitable for specific needs
and can provide the technical assistance necessary for any change that may be required to conform the ma-
chine to the safety standards and traffic rules.
Komatsu Dealers also provide assistance for the supply of original Komatsu spare parts, which alone guarantee
safety and interchangeability.
The table included in this manual must be filled in with the machine data, which are the data that must always be
q
indicated to the Dealer when requiring assistance and ordering spare parts.
The incorrect use of the machine and inappropriate maintenance operations may cause serious injury
q
and even death.
Operators and maintenance personnel must carefully read this manual before using the machine or per-
q
forming maintenance operations.
Some actions involved in the operation and maintenance of the machine may cause serious injury or
q
even death, if they are not performed in compliance with the instructions given herein.
The procedures and precautions described in this manual are valid for application to the machine only
q
when it is used correctly.
If the machine is used for any purpose or in any way other than those described herein, the operator
shall be responsible for his own safety and for the safety of any other person involved.
