Fire caused by piping
q
Check that all the clamps for the hoses and
tubes, guards, and cushions are securely fixed
in position.
If they are loose, they may vibrate during oper-
ation and rub against other parts.There is dan-
ger that this may lead to damage to the hoses
and cause high-pressure oil to spurt out, lead-
ing to fire and serious personal injury or death.
q Fire around the machine due to highly
heated exhaust gas

(Komatsu Diesel Particulate Filter).
KDPF is a system for purifying soot in exhaust
gas. The exhaust gas discharged during the
purification process (regeneration) can be
higher temperature than that of existing mod-
els. Do not bring any flammable material close
to the outlet of the exhaust pipe.
If there are thatched houses, dry leaves or
q
pieces of paper around the job site, set the
system to the "Regeneration Disable"
before starting operation to prevent fire
hazard of highly heated exhaust gas
caused by KDPF regeneration.
See the operation and maintenance man-
ual for the setting procedure.
q Explosion caused by lighting equipment
When checking fuel, oil, battery electro-
q
lyte, or coolant, always use lighting equip-
ment with anti-explosion specifications.
q When taking the electrical power for the
lighting equipment from the machine itself,
follow the instructions in the operation and
maintenance manual.

Foreword, safety and general information
Dispose of waste materials
To prevent pollution, pay full attention to the way to
dispose of waste materials.
q Always put the oil and coolant drained from the
machine in containers. Never drain the oil and
coolant directly onto the ground or dump into
the sewage system, rivers, the sea, or lakes.
q Observe the related laws and regulations when
disposing of harmful objects such as oil, fuel,
coolant, solvent, filters, and batteries.
Some kinds of rubber and plastics may produce
poisonous gas harmful to human body when they
are burned.
q As for rubber, plastics, or parts (hoses, cables,
and wiring harnesses, etc.) which contain
those materials, ask the industrial waste treat-
ment firms for their disposals in accordance
with the local regulations.
