When disposing of it, the gas must be released. Ask your Komatsu distributor to perform this work.
The gas springs are installed inside the left console (1 place)
and at the cab ceiling window (2 places).
In the following cases, ask your Komatsu distributor for inspec-
tion, repair, and replacement.
The lock lever cannot be pulled up lightly or the cab ceiling
window cannot be opened lightly.
