27. HANDLING BUCKET WITH HOOK

27.1 CHECKING FOR DAMAGE TO BUCKET
WITH HOOK
Check that there is no damage to the hook, stopper, or hook mount.
If any abnormality is found, please contact your Komatsu distributor.

27.2 PROHIBITED OPERATIONS

The standard work equipment must not be used for lifting loads. If
this machine is to be used for lifting loads, it is necessary to install the
special bucket with hook.
27.3 PRECAUTIONS DURING OPERATIONS
• When carrying out lifting operations, reduce the engine speed and
use the lifting operation mode.
• Depending on the posture of the work equipment, there is danger
that the wire or load may slip off the hook. Always be careful to main-
tain the correct hook angle to prevent this from happening.
• Never steer the machine while lifting a load.
• If the bucket with hook is turned and used for operations, it will hit the
arm during dumping operations, so be careful when using it.
• The loads must never exceed those specified in the lifting capacity
chart when carrying out lifting operations.
• If you wish to install a hook in the future, please contact your
Komatsu distributor.
