SAFETY
PROTECTION AGAINST FALLING, FLYING OR INTRUDING OBJECTS
On jobsite where there is a danger of falling objects, scattering
fragments, and things which may intrude into operator's cab, in-
stall the necessary equipment to protect the operator depend-
ing on the working conditions.
•
When operating on jobsite, such as mines or quarries
where there is a hazard of falling rocks, install falling object
protective structure (FOPS) and a front guard, and use a
fully transparent laminated coating sheet on the front
glass. Keep all the windows and doors closed when oper-
ating. In addition, always check that there is no one except
the operator in the surrounding area where there is a dan-
ger of falling objects, scattering fragments.
•
When performing breaker operations, install a front guard
and use a fully transparent laminated coating sheet on the
front glass. Keep all the windows closed when operating .
In addition, always check that there is no one except the
operator in the surrounding area where there is a danger
of scattering fragments.
Above precautions are developed for the standard jobsite. De-
pending on the conditions of the jobsite, installation of addition-
al guards is necessary.
Do not operate the machine without the necessary guards. Be sure to consult with your Komatsu distributor
about necessary guards.
