    SAFETY INFORMATION                                                                                           SAFETY


    ATTACHMENT INSTALLATION
       When installing optional parts or attachments, there may be problems with safety or legal restrictions. Therefore
       contact your Komatsu distributor for advice.
       Any injuries, accidents, or product failures resulting from the use of unauthorized attachments or parts will not be
       the responsibility of Komatsu.
       When installing and using optional attachments, read the instruction manual for the attachment, and the general
       information related to attachments in this manual.

    ATTACHMENT COMBINATIONS
    Depending on the type or combination of work equipment, there is a hazard that the work equipment may hit the cab
    or other parts of the machine. Before using unfamiliar work equipment, check if there is any hazard of interference,
    and operate with caution.

    CAB WINDOW GLASSES
       If the cab glass on the work equipment side is broken, there is a hazard that the work equipment may contact the
       operator's body directly. Stop operation immediately and replace the glass.
       The ceiling window is made of organic glass (polycarbonate), and as such it is apt to break easily when receiving
       damage on the surface, thereby deteriorating its protective characteristic. If there is a crack or damage caused
       by a fallen rock, or when any sign of them is noticed, replace it with a new window.

    UNAUTHORIZED MODIFICATIONS
    Any modification made without authorization from Komatsu can create hazards. Before making a modification,
    consult your Komatsu distributor.
      Komatsu will not be responsible for any injuries, accidents, product failures or other property damages resulting
      from modifications made without authorization from Komatsu.

    SAFETY AT JOBSITE
    Before starting operations, thoroughly check the area for any unusual conditions that could be dangerous.
      When carrying out operations near combustible materials such as thatched roofs, dry leaves or dry grass, there
      is a hazard of fire, so be careful when operating.
      Check the terrain and condition of the ground at the worksite, and determine the safest method of operation. Do
      not carry out operations at places where there is a hazard of landslides or falling rocks.
      If water lines, gas lines, or high-voltage electrical lines may be
      buried under the worksite, contact each utility and identify their
      locations. Be careful not to sever or damage any of these lines.
      Take action to prevent unauthorized people from approaching
      the jobsite.
      When working on public roads, position flagmen and erect
      barriers to ensure the safety of passing traffic and pedestrians.
      When traveling or operating in shallow water or on soft ground,
      check the shape and condition of the bedrock, and the depth
      and speed of flow of the water before starting operations.

    WORKING ON LOOSE GROUND
       Avoid traveling or operating your machine too close to the edge of cliffs, overhangs, and deep ditches. The
       ground may be weak in such areas. If the ground should collapse under the weight or vibration of the machine,
       there is a hazard that the machine may fall or tip over. Remember that the soil after heavy rain or blasting or after
       earthquakes is weak in these areas.

    SAFETY MACHINE OPERATION                                               SAFETY


    PARKING MACHINE
       Park the machine on firm, level ground.
       Select a place where there is no hazard of falling rocks or
       landslides, or of flooding if the land is low.
       Lower the work equipment completely to the ground.


       When leaving the machine, set lock lever (1) to the LOCK
       position, then stop the engine.
       Always close the operator's cab door, and use the key to lock all
       the equipment in order to prevent any unauthorized person from
       moving the machine. Always remove the key, take it with you,
       and leave it in the specified place.
       If it is necessary to park the machine on a slope, always do as
       follows.
            Set the bucket on the downhill side, then dig it into the
            ground.
            Put blocks under the tracks to prevent the machine from
            moving.

    SAFETY MAINTENANCE INFORMATION                                                                                   SAFETY


    SAFETY RULES FOR HIGH-PRESSURE OIL
    The hydraulic system is always under internal pressure. When inspecting or replacing piping or hoses, always
    check that the pressure in the hydraulic circuit has been released. If the circuit is still under pressure, it will lead to
    serious injury, so always do as follows.
      For details of the method of releasing the pressure, see "METHOD FOR RELEASING INTERNAL PRESSURE
      IN HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT (PAGE 4-43)". If the circuit is still under pressure, do not carry out any inspection or
      replacement operation.
      If there is any leakage from the piping or hoses, the surrounding area will be wet, so check for cracks in the piping
      and hoses and for swelling in the hoses.
      When carry out inspection, wear safety glasses and leather gloves.
      There is a hazard that high-pressure oil leaking from small holes
      may penetrate your skin or cause blindness if it contacts your
      eyes directly. If you are hit by a jet of high-pressure oil and suffer
      injury to your skin or eyes, wash the place with clean water, and
      consult a doctor immediately for medical attention.


    SAFETY HANDLING HIGH-PRESSURE HOSES
      If oil or fuel leaks from high-pressure hoses, it may cause fire or defective operation, which may lead to serious
      injury. If any loose bolts are found, stop work and tighten to the specified torque. If any damaged hoses are found,
      stop operations immediately and contact your Komatsu distributor.
    Replace the hose if any of the following problems are found.
       Damaged or leaking hydraulic fitting.
       Frayed or cut covering or exposed reinforcement wire layer.
       Covering swollen in places.
       Twisted or crushed movable portion.
       Foreign material embedded in covering.

    WASTE MATERIALS
    To prevent pollution, pay careful attention to the method of disposing of waste materials.
      Always put oil drained from your machine in containers. Never
      drain oil directly onto the ground or dump into the sewage
      system, rivers, the sea, or lakes.
      Obey appropriate laws and regulations when disposing of
      harmful objects such as oil, fuel, coolant, solvent, filters, and
      batteries.


    AIR CONDITIONER MAINTENANCE
    If air conditioner refrigerant gets into your eyes, it may cause blindness; if it touches your skin, it may cause frostbite.
    Never touch refrigerant.

    Battery

                                                                  WARNING
       The battery generates flammable gas. Do not bring fire or sparks near the battery.
       Battery electrolyte is dangerous. If it gets in your eyes or on your skin, wash it off with a large amount of water and consult a
       doctor.
       Battery electrolyte dissolves paint. If it gets on the bodywork, wash it off immediately with water.
       If the battery electrolyte is frozen, do not charge the battery or start the engine with a different power source. There is danger
       that the battery may explode.
       Battery electrolyte is toxic. Do not let it flow into drainage ditches or spray it on to the ground surface.


    When the ambient temperature drops, the capacity of the battery will also drop. If the battery charge ratio is low, the
    battery electrolyte may freeze. Maintain the battery charge as close as possible to 100%. Insulate it against cold
    temperature to ensure the machine can be started easily the next morning.

    REMARK
    Measure the specific gravity and calculate the charging rate from the following conversion table.

    OUTLINE OF SERVICE                                                                                      MAINTENANCE


    OUTLINE OF SERVICE
    HANDLING OIL, FUEL, COOLANT, AND PERFORMING OIL CLINIC

    Oil
      Even if oil in not dirty, always change the oil at the specified interval.
      Oil is used in the engine and work equipment under extremely severe conditions (high temperature, high
      pressure), and it deteriorates with use.
      Always use oil that matches the grade and temperature for use given in the Operation and Maintenance Manual.
      Never mix oils of different grades or brands.
      Oil corresponds to blood in the human body, so always be careful when handling it to prevent any impurities
      (water, metal particles, dirt, etc.) from getting in.
      Take particular care not to let any impurities get in when adding oil.
      The majority of problems with machines are caused by the entry of such impurities.
      Always add the specified amount of oil.
      Having too much oil or too little oil are both causes of problems.
      When changing the oil, always replace the related filters at the same time.
      If the oil in the work equipment is not clear, there is probably water or air getting into the circuit. In such cases,
      please contact your Komatsu distributor.
      We recommend you have an analysis made of the oil periodically to check the condition of the machine. For
      those who wish to use this service, please contact your Komatsu distributor.

    Fuel
      The fuel pump is a precision instrument, and if fuel containing water or dirt is used, it cannot work properly.
      Be extremely careful not to let impurities get in when storing or adding fuel.
      Always use the fuel specified in the Operation and Maintenance Manual.
      Fuel may congeal, depending on the temperature, when it is used (particularly in low temperature below -15°C
      (5°F)). It is necessary to change to the fuel that is suitable for the temperature.
      To prevent the moisture in the air from condensing and forming water inside the fuel tank, always fill the fuel tank
      after completing the day's work.
      Before starting the engine, or when 10 minutes have passed after adding fuel, drain the sediment and water from
      the fuel tank.
      If the engine runs out of fuel, or if the filters have been replaced, it is necessary to bleed the air from the circuit.
      If there is any foreign material in the fuel tank, wash the tank and fuel system.

    Cooling System Coolant
      If the coolant level is low, it will cause overheating, and will also cause problems with corrosion due to air entering
      the coolant.
      River water contains large amount of calcium and other impurities, so if it is used, scale will stick to the engine and
      radiator, and this will cause defective heat exchange and overheating.
      Do not use water that is not suitable for drinking.
      Antifreeze is also effective in preventing corrosion on the parts of the engine cooling system. It may be
      continuously used for two years or 4000 hours of operation, therefore it may be used throughout the year.
      When using anti-freeze, always observe the precautions given in the Operation and Maintenance Manual.
      Anti-freeze is flammable, so be extremely careful not to expose it to flame or fire.
      The proper mixing proportion of the antifreeze depends on the ambient temperature. For the mixing proportion,
      see "CLEAN INSIDE OF COOLING SYSTEM (PAGE 4-24)".

    Grease
      Grease is used to prevent seizure and noises at the joints.
