If the canopy is inadvertently hit or the machine overturns during work, the ROPS structure may be damaged,
which consequently reduces its stiffness and the operator’s safety.

ance checked
q
Do not remove the ROPS canopy for any reason whatsoever and avoid using the machine without canopy.

If it is absolutely necessary to remove the ROPS canopy, always contact your Komatsu Distributor before carry-
ing out this operation.
2.2.22 PRECAUTIONS CONCERNING THE CAB STRUCTURE
q
If the cab is inadvertently hit or the machine overturns during work, the cab may be damaged with consequent

Contact Komatsu or an Authorized Komatsu Distributor to have the cab structure and resistance checked in
case of impact or damage.
