Precautions When Getting On Or Off Machine; Use Handrails And Steps When Getting On Or Off Machine - Komatsu D155A-6 Operation & Maintenance Manual

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS COMMON TO OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
Fire coming from piping
Check that all the hose and tube clamps, guards, and cushions are securely fixed in position.
If they are loose, they may vibrate during operation and rub against other parts. There is danger that this may lead
to damage to the hoses and cause high-pressure oil to spurt out, leading to fire, serious personal injury or death.
Explosion caused by lighting equipment
When checking fuel, oil, battery electrolyte, or coolant, always use lighting with anti-explosion specifications.
When taking the electrical power for the lighting from the machine itself, follow the instructions in this manual.

PRECAUTIONS WHEN GETTING ON OR OFF MACHINE

USE HANDRAILS AND STEPS WHEN GETTING ON OR OFF MACHINE

To prevent personal injury caused by slipping or falling off the machine, always do as follows.
Use the parts marked by arrow A in the diagrams when getting
on or off the machine.
Never use the parts marked by arrow B when getting on or off
the machine. Use them only when moving along the top of the
track or when checking or carrying out maintenance inside the
side cover, or when filling the tank with oil.
Always face the machine and maintain at least three-point
contact (both feet and one hand, or both hands and one foot)
with the handrail and steps to ensure that you support yourself.
Before getting on or off the machine, check the handrails and steps, and if there is any oil, grease, or mud on
them, wipe it off immediately. In addition, repair any damage and tighten any loose bolts.
Do not grip the control levers, or work equipment lock lever when getting on or off the machine.
Never climb on the engine hood or covers where there are no non-slip pads.
Do not get on or off the machine while holding tools in your hand.
