SAFETY
PROTECTION AGAINST FALLING, FLYING OR INTRUDING OBJECTS
On jobsites where there is a hazard that falling objects, flying
objects, or intruding objects may hit or enter the operator's cab,
consider the operating conditions and install the necessary
guards to protect the operator.
•
When working in mines or quarries where there is a haz-
ard of falling rock, install FOPS and a front guard, and use
a laminated coating sheet on the front glass (internal side).
When carrying out the above operations, always close the
front window. Always check that there is no one except the
operator in the surrounding area. They may be hit by fall-
ing objects or flying objects.
•
When carrying out breaker operations, use a fully transpar-
ent laminated coating sheet on the front glass (internal
side). Keep all the windows closed when operating and al-
ways check that there is no one except the operator in the
surrounding area. They may be hit by flying objects.
The above recommendations assume that the conditions are
for standard operations, but it may be necessary to add addi-
tional guards according to the operating conditions on the job-
site. Always contact your Komatsu distributor for advice.
In such a case, do not operate the machine without an addi-
tional guard. Be sure to consult with your Komatsu distributor about necessary guards.
