PRECAUTIONS RELATED TO SAFETY

If attachments or options other than those authorized by Komatsu
are installed, this will not only affect the life of the machine, but
will also cause problems with safety.
When installing attachments not listed in this Operation and Main-
tenance Manual, please contact your Komatsu distributor first.
If you do not contact Komatsu, we cannot accept any responsibil-
ity for any accident or failure.
Precautions for removal and installation operations
When removing or installing attachments, obey the following
precautions and take care to ensure safety during the opera-
tion.
Carry out the removal and installation operations on a
●
flat, firm ground surface.
When the operation is carried out by two or more work-
●
ers, determine signals and follow these during the opera-
tion.
When carrying heavy objects (more than 25 kg), use a
●
crane.
When removing heavy parts, always support the part
●
before removing it.
When lifting such heavy parts with a crane, always pay
careful attention to the position of the centre of gravity.
It is dangerous to carry out operations with the load kept
●
suspended. Always set the load on a stand, and check
that it is safe.
When removing or installing attachments, make sure that
●
they are in a stable condition and will not fall over.
Never go under a load suspended from a crane.
●
Always stand in a position that is safe even if the load
should fall.
NOTICE
Qualifications are required to operate a crane. Never
allow the crane to be operated by unqualified person.
For details of the removal and installation operations, please
contact your Komatsu distributor.
