Sources of chemical hazards
If there is a risk posed by contact with hazardous chemicals when
carrying out maintenance or disassembly work, corresponding
precautions must be taken.
If in doubt, please consult your Komatsu distributor for informa-
tion.
Waste material
Avoid any kind of environmental pollution when disposing of
waste.
 Always put oil drained from your machine in containers.
Never pour the oil directly onto the ground or into drains, riv-
ers, lakes or seas.
 Obey applicable laws and regulations when disposing of
harmful objects such as oil, fuel, coolant, solvent, filters, and
batteries.
Maintaining the air conditioner
 If refrigerant from the air conditioner comes into contact with
the eyes or skin, that can lead to loss of sight or frostbite.
 Never touch the refrigerant.
Pressurised air
 Flying objects can cause serious injury or material damage
when carrying out cleaning work using pressurised air.
 Always wear protective goggles, a dust mask, gloves and
other safety equipment when cleaning parts or the radiator
with pressurised air.
End of service life
