GENERAL SAFETY & PRECAUTIONS
Do not use inspection and maintenance procedures other than ones described in this manual. Park the
machine on the level and firm ground before inspection and maintenance.
For the adjustment, disassembling and repair of the engine, reduction unit, hydraulic component and
electronic devices (controller, etc.), contact KOBELCO authorized dealer/distributor.

Wear protective gears to avoid injury.
Wear a hard hat, protective glasses or face shield, work gloves, protective shoes and well-fitting
working clothes when performing inspection and maintenance procedures on this machine.
ALWAYS KEEP THE MACHINE CLEAN
Thoroughly clean the machine before performing inspection and maintenance procedures. It is easier
and safer to locate problems, perform maintenance and also reduce the risk of hydraulic system
contamination when machine is clean.
CHECK THE HOUR METER
Read the hour meter every day to check for items which get to the next inspection and maintenance
time.
STOP THE ENGINE BEFORE INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Be sure to stop the engine before inspection and maintenance.
Inspecting and maintaining the running engine may cause injury by being caught in the cooling fan or
fan belts. When running the engine is unavoidable during the inspection or maintenance, it should be
done by at least two persons communicating each other, of which one can stop the engine at any
time.
PUT THE WARNING TAGS
Put the tags "DO NOT START ENGINE!", "DO NOT OPERATE" and "UNDER
INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE" on noticeable places such as around the operator's seat as well as the
starter switch or control levers before inspection and maintenance.
COMPLY WITH THE PRECAUTIONS
Read and understand the warning labels on the machine before starting the inspection and
maintenance.
