PRECAUTIONS WHEN INSTALLING ATTACHMENTS
Swinging the upper structure on slopes
●
If heavy work equipment is installed, the overrun of the
●
swing becomes greater (the distance from the point
where the operator operates the left control lever to stop
the swing to the point where the upper structure stops
completely), so there is danger of mistaking the distance
and hitting something.
Always operate so that there is an ample margin to the
stopping point.
Furthermore, the hydraulic drift also becomes larger
when the work equipment is stopped in mid-air, it will
gradually move down under its own weight).
Always follow the correct procedure when installing the
●
boom and arm. If the correct procedure is not followed,
this may lead to serious damage or injury, so please con-
sult your Komatsu distributor before carrying out instal-
lation.
If long work equipment is installed, the working range
●
will suddenly become larger, so there is danger of mis-
taking the distance and hitting something.
Always operate the work equipment so that there is
ample space from any obstacles in the area
