OPERATIONS AND CHECKS AFTER STARTING ENGINE

Emergency stop
If the operation is abnormal or any other trouble occurs, turn the key in the starting switch to the OFF position.
If the work equipment is operated without warming up the machine sufficiently, the response of the work equipment to the
movement of the control lever will be slow. The work equipment may not move as the operator desires. Follow all warm-up
procedures. Particularly in cold areas, make sure to warm up the machine properly.
BREAKING-IN THE MACHINE
Your Komatsu machine has been thoroughly adjusted and tested before shipment. However, operating the machine under severe
conditions at the beginning can adversely affect the performance and shorten the machine life.
Be sure to break-in the machine for the initial 100 hours (as indicated by the service meter).
During break-in operations, follow the precautions described in this manual.
Idle the engine for 5 minutes after starting it up.
Avoid operation with heavy loads or at high speeds.
Immediately after starting the engine, avoid sudden starts, sudden acceleration, unnecessary sudden stops, and
sudden changes in direction.
