Precautions When Getting On Or Off Machine; Use Handrails And Steps When Getting On Or Off Machine - Komatsu D475A-5E0 Operation & Maintenance Manual

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS COMMON TO OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
Fire coming from piping
Check that all the hose and tube clamps, guards, and cushions are securely fixed in position.
If they are loose, they may vibrate during operation and rub against other parts. There is danger that this may lead
to damage to the hoses and cause high-pressure oil to spurt out, leading to fire, serious personal injury or death.
Explosion caused by lighting equipment
When checking fuel, oil, battery electrolyte, or coolant, always use lighting with anti-explosion specifications.
When taking the electrical power for the lighting from the machine itself, follow the instructions in this manual.

PRECAUTIONS WHEN GETTING ON OR OFF MACHINE

USE HANDRAILS AND STEPS WHEN GETTING ON OR OFF MACHINE

To prevent personal injury or death caused by slipping or falling off the machine, always observe the following.
Use the parts marked by arrow A in the diagrams when getting
on or off the machine.
Never use the parts marked by arrow B when getting on or off
the machine. Use them only when moving along the top of the
track or when checking or performing maintenance inside the
side cover, or when filling the tank with oil.
Always face the machine and maintain at least 3 point contact
(both feet and one hand, or both hands and one foot) with the
handrail and steps to ensure that you support yourself.
Before getting on and off the machine, check the handrails and steps if there is any oil, grease, or mud on them.
Wipe it off immediately not to slip if any. In addition, tighten any loose bolt of the handrails and steps.
If the handrails and steps are damaged or deformed, they need to be repaired immediately. Ask your Komatsu
distributor to perform this work.
Do not grip the control levers, or work equipment lock lever when getting on or off the machine.
Never climb on the engine hood or covers where there are no non-slip pads.
Do not get on or off the machine while holding tools in your hand.
