SAFETY INFORMATION
Fire coming from hydraulic line
Check that all the hose and tube clamps, guards, and cushions are securely fixed in position.
If they are loose, they may vibrate during operation and rub against other parts. This may lead to damage to the
hoses, and cause high-pressure oil to spurt out, leading to fire damage or serious injury.
Explosion caused by lighting equipment
When checking fuel, oil, battery electrolyte, window washer fluid, or coolant, always use lighting with anti-
explosion specifications. If such lighting equipment is not used, there is danger of explosion that may cause
serious injury.
When taking the electrical power for the lighting from the machine itself, follow the instructions in this man-
ual.
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 bystanders 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. 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.
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 interfer-
ence, and operate with caution.
