GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
PRECAUTIONS WHEN INSTALLING ATTACHMENTS
Long work equipment reduces the stability of the
machine, so if the swing is operated on a slope, or when
going down a steep hill, the machine may lose its balance
and overturn.
The following operations are particularly dangerous, so
never operate the machine in these ways.
Traveling downhill with the work equipment raised
Traveling across slopes
Swing operations on slopes
If heavy work equipment is installed, the overrun of
the swing becomes greater (the distance from the
point where the operator operates the control levers
to stop the swing to the point where the upper struc-
ture stops completely), so there is danger of mistak-
ing the distance and hitting something.
Always operate so that there is an ample margin to the
stopping point.
Furthermore, the hydraulic drift also becomes larger
(when the work equipment is stopped in mid-air, it will
gradually move down under its own weight).
Always follow the correct procedure when installing
the boom and arm.
If the correct procedure is not followed, this may lead
to serious damage or injury, so consult your Komatsu
distributor before carrying out installation.
If long work equipment is installed, the working range will
suddenly become larger, so there is danger of mistaking
the distance and hitting something.
Always operate the work equipment so that there is ample
space from any obstacles in the area.
