BEFORE CARRYING OUT MAINTENANCE
WARNING TAG
•
If others start the engine or operate the controls while you are performing service or lubrication, you could suffer
serious injury or death.
•
ALWAYS attach the WARNING TAG to the control lever in the operator's cab to alert others that you are working
on the machine. Attach additional warning tags around the machine, if necessary.
•
These tags are available from your Komatsu distributor. (Part No. 09963-03000)
PROPER TOOLS
•
Use only tools suited to the task. Using damaged, low quality, faulty, or makeshift tools
could cause personal injury.
PERIODIC REPLACEMENT OF CRITICAL PARTS
•
Periodically replace parts used to insure safety or prevent accident. (See ''PERIODIC REPLACEMENT OF
COMPONENT PARTS FOR SAFETY DEVICES'', Section 4.)
•
Replace these components periodically with new ones, regardless of whether or not they appear to be defective.
These components deteriorate over time.
•
Replace or repair any such components if any defect is found, even though they have not reached the time
specified.
STOPPING THE ENGINE BEFORE SERVICE
•
When carrying out inspection or maintenance, always stop the machine on firm flat ground, lower the dump body,
then stop the engine.
•
If the engine must be run during service, such as when cleaning the radiator, always set the transmission lever
to the neutral position and the parking brake lever to the PARKING position. Always carry out the work with two
people. One person should sit on the operator's seat so that he can stop the engine if necessary. NEVER move
any controls you do not need to operate.
•
When servicing the machine, be careful not to touch any moving part or get your clothes caught.
•
Put blocks under the wheels.
•
When carrying out service with the dump body raised, always place the dump lever at the HOLD position, apply
the lock, and insert the safety pins securely.
