LIMITED PROTECTION FROM OBJECTS FALLING ON THE CAB
When operating near areas where landslides may occur
or where rocks or other debris may fall, be aware that the
cab and the guards installed provide limited protection
for the operator and may not prevent serious injury or
death.
• The top guard is designed according to ISO10262
and should not allow loads up to 227 kg (500 lbs.)
dropped from a height of 5.22 m (17 ft.) to penetrate
the cab. During building demolition or other activities,
the load, the distance of the drop, or both could
produce forces that exceed the limits of the top guard
and cause serious injury or death.
• Never weld, drill or modify the top guard or other protective structures. Any modification could weaken the
structural integrity of these protective structures, resulting in serious injury or death in case of collision, falling
objects or landslides.
• Do not install any cab lifting device to the top guard or other protective structures.
• If an accident occurs, do not try to straighten or repair the top guard or other protective structures. If required,
contact your KOBELCO authorized dealer for functional verification or replacement of any of the protective
structures.
