Fire Prevention For Fuel And Oil
• Fuel, oil, and antifreeze can be ignited by a
flame. These fluids are extremely flammable and
hazardous.
• Keep flames away from flammable fluids.
• Stop the engine while refueling.
• Never smoke while refueling
• Tighten all fuel and oil tank caps securely.
• Refuel and maintain oil in well ventilated areas.
• Keep oil and fuel in a designated location. DO
NOT allow unauthorized persons to enter.
ROPS Precautions
• The Rollover Protection Structure (ROPS) must
be properly installed for machine operation.
• The ROPS is intended to protect the operator if
the machine should roll over. It is designed not
only to support the load of the machine, but also
to absorb the energy of the impact.
• ROPS structures installed
manufactured and designed by Komatsu fulfills
all of the regulations and standards for all
countries. If it is modified or repaired without
authorization from Komatsu, or is damaged
when the machine rolls over, the strength of the
structure will be compromised and will not be
able to fulfill its intended purpose. Optimum
strength of the structure can only be achieved if it
is repaired or modified as specified by Komatsu.
