equipped with this device is used, such requirements or regulations have a priority than this warn-
ing.

PRECAUTIONS FOR USING KOMTRAX
•
Even when the key in the starting switch of the KOMTRAX system is at OFF position, a small amount of
electric power is consumed.
•
When using the battery disconnect switch, turn the starting switch to OFF position and turn the battery dis-
connect switch key to OFF position. Then, remove the key.
When the battery disconnect switch is turned to OFF position, it is possible to prevent power consumption
of the battery, but the functions of KOMTRAX stop at the same time.
•
Contact your Komatsu distributor before installing a top guard or other attachment that covers the cab roof.
