Komatsu — DURING MAINTENANCE

PRECAUTIONS FOR MAINTENANCE SAFETY WARNING: For reasons of safety, always follow these safety precautions. USE OF LIGHTING G When checking fuel, oil, coolant, or battery electrolyte, always use lighting with anti-explosion specifications. If such lighting equipment is not used, there is danger of explosion. DURING MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL G Only authorised personnel can service and repair the machine. Extra precaution should be used when grinding, welding, and using a sledge-hammer. ATTACHMENTS G Place attachments that have been removed from the machine in a safe place so that they do not fall. If they fall on you or others, serious injury could result.

WORK UNDER THE MACHINE G Always lower all movable work equipment to the ground or to their lowest position before performing service or repairs under the machine. G Always chock the wheels of the machine securely. G Never work under the machine if the machine is poorly sup- ported. KEEP THE MACHINE CLEAN G Spilt oil or grease, or scattered tools or broken pieces are dangerous because they may cause you to slip or trip. Always keep your machine clean and tidy. 38
