2.3 PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN BEFORE STARTING THE
ENGINE
2.3.1 SAFETY ON THE WORK SITE
q
Before starting the engine, thoroughly check the area for any
unusual condition of the ground due to which work may be
dangerous.
q
Check the conditions of the ground at the work site and before
starting the engine define the work plan and the best and safest
operating procedure.
q
Level the ground surface as much as possible before carrying
out any operation.
q
In case of work on the road, protect pedestrians and cars by
designating a person for work site traffic duty and install fences
around the work site.
q
If water lines, gas lines, and telephone or high-voltage electrical
lines are located under the work site, contact the relevant utility
company in order to find out their exact position or to disconnect
them until the end of the operations. Be careful not to sever or
damage any of these lines.
q
Check the water depth and the force and flow direction of the
current before operating in water or on river banks.
2.3.2 FIRE PREVENTION
q
Completely remove all wood chips, rubbish, paper and other
flammable materials that may have accumulated inside the
engine compartment, since they can cause fires.
q
Check the fuel and hydraulic system pipes for leaks and if
necessary repair them. Wipe up any excess oil, fuel or other
flammable fluids.
q
Make sure that fire extinguishers are available in the work area.
2.3.3 PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN FOR THE OPERATOR'S CAB
q
Do not leave objects or tools lying around in the operator's cab. They may prevent the use of the brakes and
cause serious accidents.
q
Keep the cab floor and the controls (steering wheel and levers) clean, by removing any trace of oil and grease
and, as far as the floor is concerned, remove any excess dirt (earth, stones, etc.).
q
Check the safety belt and change it if it is broken or damaged.
Replace any component only with homologated parts available at Komatsu or its Dealers.
q
Make always sure that the lock of the right door, which is considered the emergency door, is open.
