Why You Should Read these Operating
Instructions
The machine must be operated, cleaned, and maintained very carefully
to ensure safe and troublefree operation. If you operate the machine
correctly, these operating instructions will help you to avoid injuries and
damage to property. To ensure this, these operating instructions take
into account all applicable legal regulations and directives; the operating
instructions comprise the following information:
• Notes on the Operating Instructions
• Notes on Transport
• Notes on Safety Regulations
• Operating Instructions
• Troubleshooting
• Maintenance Instructions
• Technical Data
• Notes on Lubricants and Operating Agents
The operating instructions are part of the machine and must always be
available at hand in the machine. If the operating instructions have been
lost or if they have become unreadable, because they are dirty, you may
receive a new copy from Komatsu or your local Komatsu dealer. If the
machine is resold, the operating instructions, the EU Declaration of
Conformity (CE), and the licence are to be handed over to the new owner.
The owner of the machine has to ensure that
•
all persons driving the machine have the legally required
minimum age and are physically and mentally fit to perform the
tasks they are charged with.
•
all persons in charge with operating or maintaining the machine
are appropriately instructed before operation or maintenance
is started. They must have completely read and understood
these operating instructions. In particular, this applies to the
following section "Notes on Safety Regulations" and the chapter
"Safety".
•
all persons driving the machine have read the accompanying
leaflet "Notes on Operation of Komatsu Construction Mach-
ines in Public Traffic" - applying to operation of construction
machines with a speed of more than 20 km/h on German public
roads.
• the machine is correctly operated.
•
the machine is not improperly modified.
Please note:
If the owner modifies safety-related parts of the machine, the certificate
of conformity of the manufacturer will lapse and the person who has
performed the modification has to issue a new certificate. Should you
have any questions concerning this point, please do not hesitate to ask
Komatsu.
