GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
SAFETY
2-16
q
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.
q
Explosion caused by lighting equipment
q
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.
q
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.
q
Turn the start switch OFF to stop the engine.
q
Use the handrails and steps to get off the machine.
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)
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.
q
If ROPS is installed, do not remove it when operating the
machine.
q
ROPS is installed to protect the operator when machine
rolls over. When machine rolls over, ROPS supports its
weight and absorbs its impact energy.
q
If ROPS is modified, its strength may be reduced. When
modifying, consult your Komatsu distributor.
q
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.
