PRECAUTIONS RELATED TO PROTECTIVE STRUCTURES
Precautions related to protective structures:ALL-K200-170K00A
The operator's compartment is equipped with a structure (such
as ROPS, OPG) to protect the operator by absorbing the
impact energy.
As for the machine equipped with ROPS, if the machine weight
(mass) exceeds the certified value (shown on the ROLL-OVER
PROTECTIVE STRUCTURE (ROPS) CERTIFICATION plate),
ROPS will not be able to fulfil its function. Do not increase
machine weight beyond the certified value by modifying the
machine or by installing attachments to the machine.
Also, if the function of the protective equipment is impeded, the
protective equipment will not be able to protect the operator,
and the operator may suffer injury or death. Always observe
the following.
q
If the machine is equipped with a protective structure, do
not remove the protective structure and carry out operations
without it.
q
If the protective structure is welded, or holes are drilled in it,
or it is modified in any other way, its strength may drop.
Consult your Komatsu distributor before carrying out any
modifications.
q
If the protective structure is damaged or deformed by falling
objects or by rolling over, its strength will be reduced and it
will not be able to fulfil its function properly. In such cases,
always contact your Komatsu distributor for advice on the
method of repair.
q
Even if the protective structure is installed, always fasten
your seat belt properly when operating the machine. If you
do not fasten your seat belt properly, it cannot display its
effect.
