PREPARING THE MACHINE START 5. CHECK BRAKE HOSES Check that there is no oil leaking out at the brake hoses. Re- pair damaged parts. 6. CHECK WHEELS Check the tires for cracks, damages and wear and tear. Check the wheel rims and lock rings for cracks, damage, and wear and tear. Tighten loose wheel nuts. Repair dam- aged parts. Replace missing valve caps. 7. CHECK HANDRAILS Check handrails for damage and loose screws. Repair dam- aged parts and tighten loose screws. 8. CHECK MEASURING AND CONTROL INDICATORS Check measuring and control indicators for damage and loose screw connections. Replace defective parts. Remove dirt from surfaces. 9.
CHECK AIR FILTER Check the fastening screws of the air filter. Tighten loose screws. 10. CHECK BATTERY TERMINALS Tighten loose battery terminals. 11. CHECK SAFETY BELT Danger of injury! A damaged safety belt or a safety belt that has been stretched in an accident does no longer protect you! Have the safety belt replaced by an expert, if it is damaged or if the machine has been involved in an accident. The belt must not be twisted or caught between parts, nor must it chafe at sharp edges. The socket for the lock tongue must not be blocked by paper or the like, since this will make engaging of the lock tongue impossible. Keep the belt clean and check that the belt fixings are tightly fastened.
Replace the safety belt, if the belt or the belt fixings are dam- aged or deformed. 12. CHECK ROPS Check whether screws are loose or damaged. Have loose screws tightened and damaged screws replaced by a Ko- matsu dealer. Loose screws must only be tightened with the specified tightening torque. Damaged screws must only be replaced by original parts. 5-4
