7. PRECAUTIONS DURING OPERATION                                   follow these safety precautions.


       Avoid operating your machine too close to the edge of cliffs, overhangs, and deep ditches. If these
       areas collapse, your machine could fall or tip over and result in serious injury or death. Remember
       that the soil after heavy rain or blasting is weakened in these areas.

       Earth laid on the ground and the soil near ditches are loose. They can collapse under the weight
       or vibration of your machine.

       Install the HEAD GUARD or FOPS if working in areas where there is danger of falling rocks and
       dirt.

       When working in places where there is danger of falling rocks or danger of the machine turning
       over, install ROPS and a seat belt.


       PARKING THE MACHINE
       Park on level ground whenever possible. If not possible, block the tracks, lower the blade to the
       ground and thrust the edge of the blade in the ground.


                                                                                                    Am44050


       When parking on public roads, provide fences and signs, such as flags or lights, on the machine
       to warn passersby to be careful. Be sure that the machine, flags or lights do not obstruct traffic.
       Parking procedure -* See “12.10 PARKING MACHINE”.

       Before leaving the machine, lower the work equipment to the ground, move the SAFETY LEVER
       to LOCK position, stop the engine, and lock all the doors, windows, and covers and remove the
       key(s).

12.1.2 CHECK BEFORE STARTING
    Always carry out the items in this section before starting the
engine each day.

CHECK COOLANT LEVEL, ADD WATER

                              A WARNING
     Normally, do not open the radiator cap. When checking the
     cooling water level, check the sub-tank when the engine is cold.

1.     Open the engine side cover on the left side of the chassis, and
       check that the cooling water is between the FULL and LOW
       marks on sub-tank 0. if the water level is low, add water to the
       FULL level through the water filler port in sub-tank 0.

REMARK
   In summer, the coolant may overflow from the sub-tank drain
hose. This is no problem. It occurs because too much coolant has
been added.

2.     After adding water, tighten the cap securely.

3.     If the sub-tank is empty, check for leakage of water, then add             FULL -

       water to the radiator and sub-tank.

16. TROUBLESHOOTING


16.1 AFTER RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
    When starting after running out of fuel, fill with fuel and bleed
the air from the fuel system before starting.
For details of bleeding the air, see “24.5 EVERY 500 HOURS SERVICE”

16.2    IF BAlTERY IS DISCHARGED
                            a WARNING
    When checking or handling the battery, stop the engine and
    turn the starting key to the OFF position before starting.
    The battery generates hydrogen gas, so there is danger of
    explosion. Do not bring lighted cigarettes near the battery, or
    do anything that will cause sparks.
    Battery electrolyte is dilute sulphuric acid, and it will attack
    your clothes and skin. lf it gets on your clothes or on your
    skin, wash it immediately off with large amounts of water. lf
    it gets in your eyes, wash it out with fresh water, and consult
    a doctor.
    When removing the battery, first disconnect the cable from
    the ground (normally, from the negative @ terminal). When
    installing, install the positive @ terminal first. If a tool touches
    the cable connecting the positive terminal and the chassis,
    there is danger that it will cause sparks.
    If the terminals are loose, there is danger that the defective
    contact may generate sparks that will cause an explosion.
    When installing the terminals, install them tightly.
                                                                           When installing, connect the
16.2.1 STARTING       ENGINE WITH BOOSTER CABLE                            cable to the positive @ ter-
                                                                           minal first
    When starting the engine with a booster cable, do as follows:

18.1       OUTLINE OF OIL, FUEL, COOLANT
18.1.1 OIL
    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. Even if the oil is not dirty, always replace the oil after the specified interval.
    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.
    The majority of problems with machine are caused by the entry of such impurities.
    Take particular care not to let any impurities get in when storing or adding oil.
    Never mix oils of different grades or brands.
    Always add the specified amount of oil.
    Having too much oil or too little oil are both causes of problems.
    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.
    When changing the oil, always replace the related filters at the same time.
    We recommend you to 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.

22. PERIODIC REPLACEMENT OF SAFETY CRITICAL PARTS


     To ensure safety at all times when operating or driving the machine, the user of the machine must
always carry out periodic maintenance. In addition, to further improve safety, the user should also carry
out periodic replacement of the parts given in the table. These parts are particularly closely connected
to safety and fire prevention_
     With these parts, the material changes as time passed, or they easily wear or deteriorate. However,
it is difficult to judge the condition of the parts simply by periodic maintenance, so they should always
be replaced after a fixed time has passed, regardless of their condition. This is necessary to ensure that
they always maintain their function completely.
     However, if these parts show any abnormality before the replacement interval has passed, they
should be repaired or replaced immediately.
     If the hose clamps show any deterioration, such as deformation or cracking, replace the clamps at
the same as the hoses.
     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 critical parts.
