SAFETY INFORMATION

SAFETY MESSAGES

Most accidents are caused by the failure to follow fundamental
safety rules for the operation and maintenance of machines.
To avoid accidents, read, understand and follow all precautions
and warnings in this manual and on the machine before perform-
ing operation and maintenance.
To identify hazards on the machine pictorial decals are used (see
POSITION FOR ATTACHING SAFETY LABELS).
RED WARNING TRIANGLE
labels where there is a high probability of serious injury or death if
the hazard is not avoided. These safety messages or labels usu-
ally describe precautions that must be taken to avoid the hazard.
Failure to avoid this hazard may also result in serious damage to
the machine.
ORANGE WARNING TRIANGLE
safety labels where there is a potentially dangerous situation
which could result in serious injury or death if the hazard is not
avoided. These safety messages or labels usually describe pre-
cautions that must be taken to avoid the hazard. Failure to avoid
this hazard may also result in serious damage of the machine
YELLOW SAFETY TRIANGLE
safety labels for hazards which could result in minor or moderate
injury if the hazard is not avoided. This word might also be used
for a hazard where the only result could be damage to the
machine.
NOTICE - This word is used for precautions that must be taken to
avoid actions which could shorten the life of the machine.
Safety precautions are described in SAFETY from page 19.
Komatsu cannot predict every circumstance that might involve a
potential hazard in operation and maintenance. Therefore the
safety message in this manual and on the machine may not
include all possible safety precautions. If any procedures or
actions not specifically recommended or allowed in this manual
are used, you must be sure that you and others can do such pro-
cedures and actions safely and without damaging the machine. If
you are unsure about the safety of some procedures, contact
Komatsu or your Komatsu distributor.
