PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN DURING MAINTENANCE

54

2.8.6 KEEPING THE MACHINE CLEAN 

q

Spilled oil or grease, scattered tools or broken pieces are
dangerous, because they may cause someone to slip or trip.
Always keep the machine and the worksite clean and tidy.

q

To clean the machine, use a pressurized jet of warm water or
steam and the specific detergents available on the market.
Do not use diesel oil, oil or solvents, since the former leave
an oily coat that favours the sticking of dust, while the latter
(even if weak) damage the painted surfaces and therefore
facilitate rusting.

q

While cleaning the machine, keep the pressurized jet at a
minimum distance of approx. 60 cm, in order to avoid dam-
aging the warning plates and the pictograms.
If the plates are damaged, request Komatsu or your Komat-
su Dealer to send you spare plates and change them.

q

Water into the electric system provokes the oxidation of the
contacts and may hinder the start of the machine or even
make it start suddenly and abruptly. For this reason, avoid
using water or steam jets to clean sensors, connectors or
the inside of the operator's cab.

2.8.7 USE OF THE ENGINE DURING MAINTENANCE

q

During maintenance operations, run the engine only when indispensable. If the engine must be running (for ex-
ample, when checking the functionality of the alternator), it is advisable that someone remains seated in the driv-
ing position, so that the engine can be stopped whenever necessary.

q

During maintenance operations with running engine, neither move the control locking devices from the “lock” po-
sition, nor change the position of the gearshift lever.
Service personnel must not move any control lever.

q

When carrying out maintenance operations, do not touch the moving parts of the machine and avoid wearing
large and loose clothes.

2.8.8 PERIODICAL CHANGE OF THE SAFETY RELATED PARTS

q

Periodically change the following components, which are important for safety and fire prevention:
Fuel system: fuel delivery and return pipes.
Hydraulic system: main delivery pipes of the hydraulic pump.
Hydraulic system: work circuit pipes from the distributor to the hydraulic cylinders.
Safety belt.

q

Even if they seem to be in good conditions, these components must be periodically changed with new ones.
In fact, these components tend to deteriorate over time.

q

If one of these parts is defective, change or repair it even if the prescribed change interval has not elapsed yet.
(See "4.6 PERIODICAL CHANGE OF THE SAFETY RELATED COMPONENTS").
