SAFETY
WINDOW WASHER LIQUID
Use an ethyl alcohol base washer liquid.
Methyl alcohol base washer liquid may irritate your eyes, so do not use it.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING ROPS (Roll Over Protective Structure)
The operator's cab has a ROPS structure. In addition to supporting
of the load if the machine tips over, it also absorbs the impact
energy and protects the operator. If the function of ROPS is
reduced, it cannot protect the operator and he may be injured.
Always do the following.
Do not weld, drill holes, or make any other modification to the
operator's cab structure.
Repair or replace the operator's cab if it is deformed by falling
objects or when the machine tips over. For details of repair,
please consult your Komatsu distributor.
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, OPTIONS
When installing optional parts or attachments, there may be problems with safety or legal restrictions. Therefore
contact your Komatsu distributor for advice.
Any injuries, accidents, product failures or other property damages resulting from the use of unauthorized
attachments or parts will not be the responsibility of Komatsu.
Always read the instruction manual for the attachment.
UNAUTHORIZED MODIFICATION
If this machine is modified without permission from Komatsu, there is danger that problems may occur with safety
and that this may lead to serious personal injury. Modifications may have an adverse effect on items such as
machine strength and visibility. Before making any modifications, please consult your Komatsu distributor.
Komatsu cannot take any responsibility for accidents, failures, or damage caused by modifications not authorized
by Komatsu.
SAFETY AT WORKSITE
Before starting operations, thoroughly check the area for any unusual conditions that could be dangerous.
Check the terrain and condition of the ground at the worksite, and determine the safest method of operation. Do
not operate where there is a hazard of landslides or falling rocks.
Take necessary measures to prevent any unauthorized person from entering the operating area.
When traveling or operating in shallow water or on soft ground, check the shape and condition of the bedrock, and
the depth and speed of flow of the water before starting operations.
Always design and maintain the roads on the jobsite so that the machines can travel safely.
