HANDLING MACHINES EQUIPPED WITH KOMTRAX 6
q
KOMTRAX is a machine management system that uses wireless communications.
q
A contract with your Komatsu distributor is necessary before the KOMTRAX system can be used. Any cus-
tomers desiring to use the KOMTRAX system should consult their Komatsu distributor.
q
The KOMTRAX equipment is a wireless device using radio waves, so it is necessary to obtain authorization
and conform to the laws of the country or territory where the machine equipped with KOMTRAX is being used.
Always contact your Komatsu distributor before selling or exporting any machine equipped with KOMTRAX.
q
When selling or exporting the machine or at other times when your Komatsu distributor considers it necessary,
it may be necessary for your Komatsu distributor to remove the KOMTRAX equipment or to carry out action to
stop communications.
q
If you do not obey the above precautions, neither Komatsu nor your Komatsu distributor can take any respon-
sibility for any problem that is caused or for any loss that results.
BASIC PRECAUTIONS 6
WARNING
q
Never disassemble, repair, modify, or move the communications terminal, antenna, or cables. This
may cause failure or fire on the KOMTRAX equipment or the machine itself. (Your Komatsu distributor
will carry out removal and installation of KOMTRAX.)
q
Do not allow cables or cords to become caught; do not damage or pull cables or cords by force. Short
circuits or disconnected wires may cause failure or fire on the KOMTRAX equipment or the machine
itself.
q
For anyone wearing a pacemaker, make sure that the communications antenna is at least 22 cm (8.7
in) from the pacemaker. The radio waves may have an adverse effect on the operation of the pace-
maker.
NOTICE
q
Even when the key in the starting switch of the KOMTRAX system is at the OFF position, a small
amount of electric power is consumed. When putting the machine into long-term storage, take the
action given in “LONG TERM STORAGE (3-141)“.
q
Please contact your Komatsu distributor before installing a top guard or other attachment that covers
the cab roof.
q
Be careful not to get water on the communications terminal or wiring.
REMARK
The KOMTRAX system uses wireless communications, so it cannot be used inside tunnels, underground, inside
buildings, or in mountain areas where radio waves cannot be received. Even when the machine is outside, it can-
not be used in areas where the radio signal is weak or in areas outside the wireless communication service area.
There is absolutely no need to inspect or operate the KOMTRAX communications terminal, but if any abnormality
is found, please consult your Komatsu distributor.
