26. GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

26.1 PRECAUTIONS RELATED TO SAFETY
If attachments or options other than those authorised 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 Maintenance Manual, please contact your
Komatsu distributor first.
If you do not contact Komatsu, we cannot accept any responsibility 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 operation.
• Carry out the removal and installation operations on a flat, firm ground surface.
• When the operation is carried out by two or more workers, determine signals and follow these dur-
ing the operation.
• When carrying heavy objects (more than 25 kg (55 Ib)), 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.
