2.1. General safety measures                                                              Safety


2.1.7. Mounting and dismounting
●     Do not jump on or off the machine. Do not mount on or dis-
      mount from a moving machine.

●     Always use the handle bars and tread steps for mounting or
      dismounting the machine. Do not hold onto the control levers
      while mounting and dismounting.

●     To ensure safe hold, hold the handle bar with one hand and
      stand on the tread steps with both feet. Optionally, stand on
      the tread steps with one foot and hold the handle bars with
      both hands.


2.1.8. Fire prevention and fire fighting
●     Fuel, oil, and antifreezing compound are highly inflammable
      and could cause a fire.

●     Do not approach inflammable material with naked light.

●     Prior to refuelling, switch off the engine and stop smoking.

●     Refuelling and refilling of oil are to be performed in sufficiently
      ventilated places.

●     Store oil and fuel in special places appropriate for this pur-
      pose. Ensure that unauthorised persons do not have access
      to these places.

●     Tightly close all cover caps.

●     Check the fuel system, the lubrication system, and the
      hydraulic system for leaks. Have leaks repaired. Remove any
      excess oil, fuel, or other inflammable substances.

●     Carefully and completely remove wooden chippings, leaves,
      paper, and other highly inflammable materials that may have
      collected in the engine compartment, since they could cause
      a fire.

●     Do not operate the machine in the vicinity of naked light.

2.2. Safety precautions during operation                                              Safety


Loading

●   Proceed as follows to fill embankments, to backfill ditches, or
    to deposit earth over the edge of a hill:

    1. First, dump a heap of earth in front of the hill.

    2. Fill the bucket with earth again and drive the machine into
    the heap of earth. Dump the bucket contents behind the first
    heap of earth.

●   The load is relieved very suddenly when the heap of earth is
    pushed over the edge of the hill or when the machine reaches
    the edge of the hill. If this happens, the driving speed may
    suddenly increase. For this reason, drive particularly slowly
    and carefully at these points.

●   If possible, perform all load operations with a following wind to
    protect yourself against dust and impaired vision.

●   Avoid sudden starts, turns, or stops when the bucket is full.


Good Vision

●   When working in dark areas, switch on the working lights of
    the machine and provide additional lighting for the working
    area.

●   If vision is impaired, e.g. due to mist, snow, or rain, interrupt
    work and wait until vision has improved to such an extent that
    safe work is ensured again.


Working on snow

●   When working on snow or ice-covered surfaces, there is dan-
    ger of the machine starting to skid even at a very flat angle.
    For this reason, drive slowly and avoid sudden starts, turns,
    or stops.

●   Very often snow hides the edges of roads and other objects.
    For this reason, proceed very carefully when removing snow.

●   When driving on hill flanks covered with snow do not brake
    abruptly to stop the machine. To stop the machine, lower the
    bucket onto the ground.

●   The load may vary considerably, depending on the structure
    of the snow. For this reason, reduce the load and pay atten-
    tion that the machine does not start to skid.


2-14                                                                    WA90-5 – VEAM270101

2.3. Precautions for maintenance                                                       Safety


Use of lighting

Always use explosion-proof lighting when checking fuel, oil,
coolant, or battery acid.


High-pressure hoses

●   Neither bend high-pressure hoses nor hit them with hard
    objects. Do not use piping or hoses with fissures, cracks, or
    bends, since they may burst during operation.

●   Immediately replace any loose or damaged fuel or oil hoses.
    Leaking fuel or oil involves danger of fire and slipping.

●   Replace all hoses every six years at the latest.


Handling high-pressure oil

●   Always take into account that the hydraulic lines are
    subjected to high pressure.

●   Do not top up oil, drain oil, or perform maintenance or
    inspection measures unless the work unit is completely
    lowered and the system is depressurised.

●   If oil comes out under high pressure, this involves danger of
    an oil jet penetrating the skin or getting into the eyes. For this
    reason, always wear safety goggles and thick safety gloves,
    and use a piece of cardboard or wood when checking for oil
    leaks.

●   If you have been hit by an oil jet, immediately go and see a
    doctor and explain what has happened.

3.2. Description of the individual elements                                          Operation


1. Brake pedal


                               WARNING
●   If you are driving downhill, let the engine run and use the
    braking effect of the engine. If required, brake
    additionally using the brake pedal.

●   Danger of accidents due to unintentional braking!

●   Do not use the brake pedal as a foot rest.


The brake is operated via a combined brake/inch pedal. The inch-
ing exerts an additional braking effect on the hydrostatic drive
system.

2. Parking brake

As soon as you pull the parking brake lever from its normal posi-
tion, the braking action comes into effect. If the start switch is set
to the ’I’ operating position, the parking brake warning light lights
up in the instrument panel. The machine will drive again, if you re-
loosen the parking brake.

NOTE
You cannot start the machine with the parking brake being
applied. If you set the driving direction switch to the ’F’ posi-
tion (forward driving) or ’R’ (reversing) with the parking brake
still being applied, the alarm buzzer will sound.

3. Steering column adjustment

The lever (2) for adjusting the steering column (1) position permits
to incline the steering column smoothly in two directions (front or
back). The adjustment range is 125 mm.

Proceed as described in chapter "Adjusting the steering column"
on page 3-43

Adjusting the rear-view mirrors

Sit down on the driver’s seat and adjust the rear-view mirrors to
their required positions. You should be able to view the traffic
coming from behind without having to change your seating posi-
tion.


Putting on the safety belt


                             WARNING
●   Danger of injury! A damaged safety belt, a safety belt that
    has been stretched in an accident, or a safety belt the
    belt fixings or fastening screws of which have not been
    mounted correctly will not protect you sufficiently in
    case of accident!

●   Replace the safety belt, if it is damaged, or if the machine
    has been involved in an accident. Check that the belt
    fixings and fastening screws are in perfect condition,
    before you put on the safety belt.

●   If you have not put on the safety belt and are involved in
    an accident, this may lead to severe injuries!

●   Put on the safety belt, before you start work and do not
    take it off during work. Put on the safety belt in such a
    way that it is not twisted and fits tightly.


The machine is provided with a lap belt which automatically
retracts. When pulled slowly, automatic belts ensure full freedom
of action, but block immediately, if you suddenly brake or
accelerate, or if you drive downhill or take corners.

Putting on the safety belt

1. Sit down on the driver's seat.

2. Slowly and continuously pull out the belt.

3. Insert the lock tongue into the lock socket until the lock
   engages.

4. Then, pull the belt to check whether or not the lock tongue is
   fully engaged.

NOTE
The belt cannot be pulled out unless it is completely wound
up.

Taking off the safety belt

Press the orange button to release the lock of the safety belt and
allow the belt to wind up.

Parking the machine on a slope

Whenever possible, stop the machine on level ground.

●   If you have to park the machine on a slope, it is required that
    you park it in such a way that the front section (work unit)
    points downhill.

●   Lower the work unit onto the ground.

●   Block the wheels with wheel chocks (1).

V-shaped loading

Position the dump truck in such a way that the angle between the
dump and the dump truck is approx. 60Β°. Fill the bucket and
shake it. This leads to a better distribution of the cargo in the
bucket and prevents that material falls down to the back. Drive the
machine backwards from the heap and align the machine with the
dump truck. Raise the bucket to its maximum height. Drive up
forward to the dump truck and unload the material.

If you keep the turning angle of the machine as small as possible,
the work will be more efficiently.

Piling up material

Do not position the bucket in its maximum tip-in or dumping posi-
tion while piling up material. Instead, use the required mining
angle. The rear counterweight must not touch the ground.


Working with the forklift truck attachment

Operations with an forklift truck attachment on a wheel loader dif-
fer from operations with the bucket or a forklift truck. Take into
account the following notes and the instructions indicated in the                    19.685 in
chapter "2.1. General safety measures" on page 2-2.                                  (500 mm)

●   Do not take up loads which are so high that you cannot see
                                                                         19.685 in
    onto the route.
                                                                         (500 mm)
●   Hold the fork tines of the forklift truck attachment as horizontal
    as possible when you take up the load.
                                                                                                 75_156
●   During the ride, hold the load as low as possible in order to
    have free sight onto the route.

●   Always drive slowly (speed range 1) with the load.

●   The boom performs a semicircular stroke while performing
    the lifting movement. Raise the boom only immediately in
    front of the place at which you want unload to the height at
    which you want to unload. In such a way, you prevent that you
    damage the load while lifting it.

●   Hold the forklift truck attachment as horizontal as possible
    while piling up.

   change unit is unhooked of the work unit's pickup hooks.

9. Make sure that nobody is behind the machine and drive the
   machine away from the work unit.


Level indicator for the bucket

On both sides of the bucket the upper edges (see arrow) are
arranged in parallel to the bucket edge and can be used as a level
indicator for the bucket.

You can recognise the position of the cutting edge of the bucket
from the driver’s seat with the help of the level indicators.

3.5.2. Precautions after completion of work
Realise the following actions to make sure that the machine can
be started the next time without problems:

●   Remove mud and water from the car body. This prevents that
    sealings are damaged due to freezing.

●   Park the machine on hard and dry ground. If this is not possi-
    ble, you must park the machine on wooden planks. The
    planks prevent that the wheels are freezing to the ground.

●   Drain off collected water from the fuel system.

●   The battery capacity drops clearly at low temperatures.
    Therefore, dismount the battery in frost periods and store it in
    a warm place. Re-install it the next morning, before starting to
    work.


3.5.3. After the cold season
If the weather becomes warmer, you must fill up the prescribed
fuel and use oils with prescribed viscosities (see chapter
"5.3. Lubricants, fuels and filling capacities" on page 5-18.

5.5.       Periodical replacement of safety-critical parts
To ensure trouble-free operation of the machine, the user of the
machine must always carry out periodic maintenance. In addition,
to maintain safety standards, the user should also periodically
replace all safety related parts, which are particularly closely
connected to safety and fire prevention.

●   The standard service life under normal conditions should not
    exceed 6 years.

●   Hoses must be replaced as soon as the following damage is
    noticeable:

    ❍   damage to the outer layer through to the intermediate
        layer,

    ❍   brittleness in the outer layer,

    ❍   distortions in pressurised or unpressurised state not
        conforming with the original shape of the installed hose,

    ❍   leakages,

    ❍   damage to the hose fittings or to the connection between
        fittings and hose,

    ❍   storage damage (the shelf life of the hose should not
        exceed 2 years).

When replacing the hoses, always replace the O-rings, gaskets,
and other such parts at the same time.

Ask your Komatsu distributor to replace the safety critical parts.
