SAFETY GENERAL PRECAUTIONS COMMON TO OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
2–23
PROTECTION AGAINST FALLING, FLYING, OR INTRUDING OBJECTS
Protection against falling, flying, or intruding objects:PC-K200-171K00A
On jobsites where there is a hazard that falling objects, flying
objects, or intruding objects may hit or enter the operator's cab,
consider the operating conditions and install the necessary
guards to protect the operator.
q
When operating on jobsites, such as mines or quarries,
where there is a hazard of falling rocks, install FOPS and a
front guard, and always keep all the windows and doors
closed when operating. Additionally use a fully transparent
laminated coating sheet on the front glass. In addition,
always check that there is no one except the operator in the
surrounding area. They may be hit by falling objects or fly-
ing objects.
q
When carrying out demolition or breaker operations, install
a front guard and always keep all the windows closed when
operating. In addition, always check that there is no one
except the operator in the surrounding area. They may be
hit by falling objects or flying objects.
Above precautions are developed for the standard worksite.
Depending on the conditions of the given worksite, installation
of additional guards will become necessary.
In such a case, do not operate the machine without an addi-
tional guard. Be sure to consult with your Komatsu distributor
about necessary guards.
