Do Not Get Caught - Komatsu WA480-8 Operation & Maintenance Manual

SAFETY
• Before leaving the machine, set the machine to the straight
travel condition, then be sure to lower the work equipment
to the ground. Press the work equipment lock switch (1) to
lock the work equipment (the pilot lamp lights up). Move
the parking brake switch (2) to ON (actuate) position (A)
with brake pedal depressed, check that the machine is
stopped completely, and stop the engine.
• If the operator's seat is positioned forward, your body or
clothes will easily touch the levers. Shift it backward to
keep enough space, and then get off the machine.
• Lock all the places and always take the key with you and
keep it in the specified place.
EMERGENCY EXIT FROM OPERATOR'S CAB
Machines equipped with a cab have a door on the left side and a door for an alternate exit on the right side. If
the door on the left side does not open, use the right side alternate exit door.
PRECAUTIONS FOR CLEANING CAB GLASS
Clean the cab glass to ensure visibility during operation.
Make sure to clean the glass with a mop from the ground.
For the cleaning procedure, see "METHOD FOR WALK-AROUND CHECK (3-156)".

DO NOT GET CAUGHT

• If the clearance at the articulating portion changes and you
get caught in it, you will suffer serious personal injury or
death. Do not allow anyone to come inside the articulation
range.
• The clearance in the area around the work equipment
changes according to the movement of the link. If you are
caught, this may lead to serious personal injury or death.
Do not allow anyone near any of the rotating or telescopic
parts.
