SAFETY INFORMATION
FALLING OBJECTS, FLYING OBJECTS AND INTRUDING OBJECTS PREVENTION
On job sites where there is a hazard that falling objects, flying
objects, or intruding objects may hit or enter the operator's cab,
consider the operating conditions and install the necessary
guards to protect the operator.
q
When carrying out demolition or breaker operations, install a
front guard and use a laminated coating sheet on the front
glass.
q
When working in mines or quarries where there is a hazard
of falling rock, install FOPS (Falling Objects Protective Struc-
ture) and a front guard, and use a laminated coating sheet
on the front glass.
q
When carrying out the above operations, always close the
front window. In addition, always ensure that bystanders are
a safe distance away and are not in hazard from falling or
flying objects.
q
The above recommendations assume that the conditions are
for standard operations, but it may be necessary to add
additional guards according to the operating conditions on
the job site. Always contact your Komatsu distributor for
advice.
ATTACHMENT INSTALLATION
q
When installing optional parts or attachments, there may be problems with safety or legal restrictions. Therefore
contact your Komatsu distributor for advice.
q
Any injuries, accidents, or product failures resulting from the use of unauthorized attachments or parts will not
be the responsibility of Komatsu.
q
When installing and using optional attachments, read the instruction manual for the attachment, and the general
information related to attachments in this manual.
ATTACHMENT COMBINATIONS
Depending on the type or combination of work equipment, there is a hazard that the work equipment may hit the
cab or other parts of the machine. Before using unfamiliar work equipment, check if there is any hazard of interfer-
ence, and operate with caution.
CAB WINDOW GLASSES
q
If a pane of the cab window on the work equipment side is broken, the work equipment may directly hit the oper-
ator. In that case, stop the machine immediately and replace the broken pane with new one.
q
The ceiling window is made of organic glass (poly carbonate), and as such it is apt to break easily when receiv-
ing damage on the surface, thereby deteriorating its protective characteristic. If there is a crack or damage
caused by a fallen rock, or when any sign of them is noticed, replace it with a new window.
