PERIODIC REPLACEMENT OF SAFETY CRITICAL PARTS

To ensure safety at all times when operating the machine, the
user of the machine must always carry out periodic maintenance.
In addition, to further improve safety, the user should also carry
out periodic replacement of the parts given in the table. These
parts are particularly closely connected to safety and fire preven-
tion.
With these parts, the material changes as time passes, or they
easily wear or deteriorate. However, it is difficult to judge the con-
dition of the parts simply by periodic maintenance, so they should
always be replaced after a fixed time has passed, regardless of
their condition. This is necessary to ensure that they always main-
tain their function completely.
However, if these parts show any abnormality before the replace-
ment interval has passed, they should be repaired or replaced
immediately.
If the hose clamps show any deterioration, such as deformation or
cracking, replace the clamps at the same time as the hoses.
When replacing the hoses, always replace the O-rings, gaskets,
and other such parts at the same time.
Ask your Komatsu distributor to replace safety critical parts.
