SAFETY

PRECAUTIONS WHEN CLEANING CAB GLASS AND CAB-MOUNTED WORKING LAMP (IF EQUIPPED)

Working on the frame, tire, or hood is very dangerous.
Be sure to carry out the cleaning operation from the ground by
using a handled mop, etc.
Clean the cab glass to ensure good visibility during operations.

DO NOT GET CAUGHT IN WORK EQUIPMENT

The clearance in the area around the work equipment changes
according to the movement of the link. If you get caught, you may
suffer serious personal injury or death. Do not allow anyone to
come close to any rotating or extending/retracting portion.

PRECAUTIONS RELATED TO PROTECTIVE STRUCTURES

The operator's compartment is equipped with a structure (such as
ROPS, FOPS) to protect the operator by absorbing the impact
energy. As for the machine equipped with ROPS, if the machine
weight (mass) exceeds the certified value (shown on the
ROLL-OVER PROTECTIVE
CERTIFICATION plate), ROPS will not be able to fulfill its function.
Do not increase machine weight beyond the certified value by
modifying the machine or by installing attachments to the machine.
Also, if the function of the protective equipment is impeded, the
protective equipment will not be able to protect the operator, and
the operator may suffer injury or death. Always observe the
following.
If the machine is equipped with a protective structure, do not
remove the protective structure and carry out operations without
it.
If the protective structure is welded, or holes are drilled in it, or
it is modified in any other way, its strength may drop. Consult
your Komatsu distributor before carrying out any modifications.
If the protective structure is damaged or deformed by falling objects or by rolling over, its strength will be reduced
and it will not be able to fulfill its function properly. In such cases, always contact your Komatsu distributor for
advice on the method of repair.
Even if the protective structure is installed, always fasten your seat belt properly when operating the machine.
If you do not fasten your seat belt properly, it cannot display its effect.
