GENERAL PRECAUTIONS COMMON TO OPERATION AND MAINTE-
SAFETY NANCE
Fire caused from piping
Check that all the hose and tube clamps, guards, and cushions are securely fixed in position.
If they are loose, they may vibrate during operation and rub against other parts. This may lead to damage the
hoses and cause the high-pressure oil to spurt out, leading to fire and personal injury.
Fire around the machine due to highly heated exhaust gas
This machine is equipped with Komatsu Diesel Particulate Filter (hereafter KDPF).
KDPF is a device to purify the soot in the exhaust gas. Exhaust gas temperature may increase during the purifi-
cation process (regeneration). Do not bring any combustible material close to the outlet of the exhaust pipe.
When there are thatched houses, dry leaves or pieces of paper near the job site, stop the aftertreatment devices
regeneration to prevent fire hazards due to highly heated exhaust gas during the aftertreatment devices regen-
eration.
Take appropriate actions to prevent fire.
Explosion caused by lighting equipment
When checking fuel, oil, battery electrolyte, or coolant, always use the lighting with anti-explosion specifications.
