SAFETY
ACTION IF FIRE OCCURS
If a fire occurs, escape from the machine as follows.
Turn the start switch OFF to stop the engine.
Use the handrails and steps to get off the machine.
WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID
Use an ethyl alcohol base washer liquid.
Methyl alcohol base washer liquid may irritate your eyes, so do not use it.
FALLING OBJECTS, FLYING OBJECTS AND INTRUDING OBJECTS PREVENTION
On jobsites where there is a hazard that falling objects, flying
objects, or intruding objects may hit or enter the operator's cab,
consider the operating conditions and install the necessary guards
to protect the operator.
When carrying out demolition or breaker operations, install a
front guard and use a laminated coating sheet on the front glass.
When working in mines or quarries where there is a hazard of
falling rock, install FOPS (Falling Objects Protective Structure)
and a front guard, and use a laminated coating sheet on the front
glass.
When carrying out the above operations, always close the front
window. In addition, always ensure that by standers are a safe
distance away and are not in hazard from falling or flying
objects.
The above recommendations assume that the conditions are for
standard operations, but it may be necessary to add additional
guards according to the operating conditions on the jobsite.
Always contact your Komatsu distributor for advice.
ATTACHMENT INSTALLATION
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.
When installing and using optional attachments, read the instruction manual for the attachment, and the general
information related to attachments in this manual.
ATTACHMENT COMBINATIONS
Depending on the type or combination of work equipment, there is a hazard that the work equipment may hit the cab
or other parts of the machine. Before using unfamiliar work equipment, check if there is any hazard of interference,
and operate with caution.
CAB WINDOW GLASSES
If a pane of the cab window on the work equipment side is broken, the work equipment may directly hit the
operator. In that case, stop the machine immediately and replace the broken pane with new one.
The ceiling window is made of organic glass (polycarbonate), and as such it is apt to break easily when receiving
damage on the surface, thereby deteriorating its protective characteristic. If there is a crack or damage caused
by a fallen rock, or when any sign of them is noticed, replace it with a new window.
