INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
WEAM009500 83
3.2.4 CAB (if provided)
WARNING
q
The cab is a ROPS/FOPS safety element (Operator protec-
tion in case of machine overturn or falling objects) accord-
ing to current standards (ROPS/FOPS level 1). If there is a
collision against the machine, or in case it turns over, have
a Komatsu Dealer check that the cab complies with the
stiffness and active safety standards the operator needs.
The cab has a sliding door and the front upper windscreen opens
so it can be fixed under the cab roof. A partial opening can be ob-
tained by sliding the glasses to the right.
These features are particularly useful during the hot season since
they allow constant air ventilation, which protects the Operator
against psychophysical strain.
3.2.4.1 WINDSCREEN (machines with cab)
WARNING
q
When the upper windscreen or the cab door is opened or
closed, always take the safety device lever (1) to the lock-
ing position (L). If the control levers are not locked and are
inadvertently operated, there is the risk of serious acci-
dents.
q
Before opening or closing the windshield, stop the ma-
chine on a level surface, lower the work equipment com-
pletely to the ground and stop the engine.
q
When opening the windshield, hold it firmly with both
hands, pull upward and do not leave hold until the automat-
ic retainer is locked.
q
When closing the windshield, hold the handle with both
hands and close securely.
The upper windshield can be positioned under the cab roof.
Opening
1. Stop the machine on a level surface, lower the work equip-
ment completely to the ground, then stop the engine.
2. Shift the safety lever (1) to the “locked” position (L).
3. Make sure that the windshield wiper is positioned correctly.
