OPERATION
Check Electric Wiring
If fuses are frequently blown or if there are traces of short-circuiting on the electrical wiring, promptly ask
your Komatsu distributor to locate the cause and make the repair.
Keep the top surface of the battery clean and check the breather hole in the battery cap. If it is clogged
with dirt or dust, wash the battery cap to clear the breather hole.
Check that there is no damage to the fuses; that fuses of the specified capacity are used; that there is no discon-
nection or trace of short-circuiting in the electric wiring and no damage to the covering. Check also that there is no
loosened terminals. If any, tighten them.
Moreover, pay particular attention to the electric wiring when checking the battery, engine starting motor and alter-
nator.
Be sure to check that there is no inflammable material accumulated around the battery. If any is found, remove
immediately.
Check Fuel Level, Add Fuel
When adding fuel, never spill the fuel or let it overflow. It will cause fire.
If any fuel has spilled, wipe it up completely. If fuel has spilled over soil or sand, remove that soil or sand.
Fuel is highly flammable and dangerous. Never bring flames near fuel.
1. Turn the engine starting switch to the ON position and
check the fuel level gauge (1) on the monitor panel for fuel
level.
After checking, turn the switch back to the OFF position.
