dirt get into it.
Always use clean oil and grease:
Use clean oil and grease. Also, keep containers of the oil and
grease clean. Keep foreign materials away from oil and grease.
Keeping the machine clean:
Always keep the machine clean. This makes is easier to find parts
causing problems. Keep in particular grease fittings, breathers
and oil level gauges clean and avoid foreign matters from getting
in them.
Be careful of hot water and oil:
Draining hot oils and coolants and removing their filters immedi-
ately after the engine stops are hazardous. Allow the engine to
cool.
If the oil has to be drained when it is cold, warm up the oil to a
suitable temperature (approx. 20 - 40°C) before draining it.
Checking foreign materials in drained oil and on filter:
After oil is changed or filters are replaced, check the oil and filters
for metallic particles and foreign materials. If large quantities of
metallic particles or foreign materials are found, consult your
Komatsu distributor.

If your machine is equipped with a fuel strainer, do not remove it
while fueling.
