GENERAL PRECAUTIONS COMMON TO OPERATION AND MAINTE-
NANCE
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, set the system to the regener-
ation disable to prevent fire hazards due to highly heated exhaust gas during the aftertreatment devices regen-
eration. For the setting procedure, see "HANDLE Komatsu Diesel Particulate Filter (KDPF) (3-118)".
Explosion caused by lighting equipment
•
When checking fuel, oil, battery electrolyte, or coolant, always use lighting with anti-explosion specifica-
tions.
•
When taking the electrical power for the lighting equipment from the machine, see "POWER SUPPLY OUT-
LET (3-110)".
PRECAUTIONS WHEN GETTING ON OR OFF MACHINE
USE HANDRAILS AND STEPS WHEN GETTING ON OR OFF MACHINE
To prevent personal injury caused by slipping or falling off the machine, always observe the following.
•
Use the handrails and steps marked by arrows in the fig-
ure when getting on and off the machine.
•
Always face the machine and maintain at least three-point
contact (both feet and one hand, or both hands and one
foot) with the handrails and steps to ensure that you sup-
port yourself.
•
Before getting on and off the machine, check the handrails
and steps if there is any oil, grease, or mud on them. Wipe
it off immediately not to slip if any. In addition, tighten any
loose bolt of the handrails and steps.
If the handrails and steps are damaged or deformed, they
need to be repaired immediately. Ask your Komatsu dis-
tributor to perform this work.
•
Do not grip the control levers or lock lever when getting on or off the machine.
•
Never climb on the engine hood or covers where there are no non-slip pads.
•
Do not get on or off the machine with tools in your hand.
•
Do not grab a foldable mirror as a handrail since it turns.
