6. GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING ROPS (Roll Over Protective Structure)
Install ROPS when working in places where there is danger of
falling rocks, such as in mines and quarries, or in places where
there is danger of rolling over.
If ROPS is installed, do not remove it when operating the
machine.
ROPS is installed to protect the operator when machine
rolls over. When machine rolls over, ROPS supports its
weight and absorbs its impact energy.
If ROPS is modified, its strength may lower. When modify-
ing it, consult your Komatsu distributor.
If ROPS is deformed by falling objects or by rolling over, its
strength lowers and its design functions cannot be main-
tained. In this case, be sure to ask your Komatsu distribu-
tor about repair method.
Even when the ROPS is installed, if you do not fasten your
seat belt securely, it cannot protect you properly. Always
fasten your seat belt when operating the machine.
PRECAUTIONS FOR ATTACHMENTS
When installing optional parts or attachments, there may be problems with safety or legal restrictions, There-
fore contact your Komatsu distributor for advice.
Any injuries, accidents, or product failures resulting from the use of unauthorized attachments or parts will not
be the responsibility of Komatsu.
When installing and using optional attachments, read the instruction manual for the attachment, and the gen-
eral information related to attachments in this manual.
CAB WINDOW GLASSES
If the cab glass on the work equipment side is broken, there is a hazard that the work equipment may contact the
operator's body directly.
Stop operation immediately and replace the glass.
UNAUTHORIZED MODIFICATION
Any modification mode without authorization from Komatsu can create hazards. Before making a modification,
consult your Komatsu distributor.
Komatsu will not be responsible for any injuries, accidents, or product failures resulting from modifications
made without authorization from Komatsu.
