q
tion on the machine and the safety regulations related to it, together with the use and maintenance instructions
that enable the operator to exploit the capacity of the machine with optimal results and to keep the machine effi-
cient over time.
The operation manual, together with the spare parts catalogue, is an integral part of the machine and must ac-
q
company it, even when it is resold, until its final disposal.
The manual must be handled with the greatest care and always kept on board the machine, so that it can be
q
consulted at any moment; it must be placed in the appropriate compartment, where also the ownership docu-
ments and the logbook are usually kept.
This manual must be given to the persons who have to use the machine and carry out the routine maintenance
q
operations; they must read the contents carefully more than once, in such a way as to clearly understand what
are the correct operating conditions and the dangerous conditions that must be avoided.
In case of loss or damage, request a new copy to Komatsu or to your Komatsu Dealer.
The illustrations contained in this manual may represent machine configurations that are available on request.
q
Komatsu machines are constantly improved in order to increase their efficiency and reliability; this manual sums
up all the information regarding the most recent techniques applied at the moment in which the machine is
marketed.
For any updated information, contact your Komatsu Dealer.
Punctual periodic annotations regarding the maintenance operations that have been carried out are important to
q

next maintenance interval. Therefore, it is advisable to consult either the hour meter and the maintenance plan
frequently.
Over the years Komatsu Dealers have gathered considerable experience in customer service.

form the machine to the safety standards and traffic rules.
Furthermore, Komatsu Dealers also ensure their assistance for the supply of Komatsu genuine spare parts, whi-
ch alone guarantee safety and interchangeability.
The table included in this manual must be filled in with the machine data, which are the data that must always be
q
