GENERAL PRECAUTIONS COMMON TO OPERATION AND MAINTE- SAFETY NANCE GENERAL PRECAUTIONS COMMON TO OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE Mistakes in operation, inspection, or maintenance may result in serious personal injury or death. Before per- forming operation, inspection, or maintenance, always read “Safety”, Operation and Maintenance Manual of standard machines and this manual carefully and obey the warnings.
Page 12: Precautions For Blade Automatic Control
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS COMMON TO OPERATION AND MAINTE- NANCE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR BLADE AUTOMATIC CONTROL • While the automatic control of blade is in operation, the blade moves even if the operator does not operate the blade control lever. Before turning the automatic control of blade ON, check thoroughly that there are no persons or obstacles in the area around the machine.
Page 13: Precautions For Operation
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR OPERATION PRECAUTIONS FOR OPERATION START ENGINE IN COLD WEATHER • If the work equipment is operated without sufficient warming-up operation of the machine, response of the work equipment to movement of the control lever will be slow, and the work equipment may not respond as the operator intends, so always perform the warming-up operation.
Page 14: Precautions For Maintenance
• If the GNSS antenna contacts with obstacles during operation or traveling, and it has to be checked and replaced, ask your Komatsu distributor. • There is a danger of falling or tipping over that can lead to serious personal injury or death. Do not get on the cab to check the GNSS antenna.
