PRECAUTIONS DURING OPERATION SAFETY WARNING: For reasons of safety, always follow these safety precautions.. If the battery charge is less than 1/10 of the rated charge, and high speed charging is carried out, set to a value below the rated capacity of the battery. If there is an excessive flow of charging current, it may cause leakage or evaporation of the electrolyte, which may catch fire and explode. TOWING WHEN TOWING Injury or death could result if a disabled machine is towed incor- rectly or if there is a mistake in the selection of the wire rope, so always do as follows. Do not tow in a different way from the method given in the section see “METHOD OF TOWING MACHINE” on page 160.
Always wear leather gloves when handling wire rope. When carrying out the preparation for towing with another worker, agree on signals before starting the operation. AE305840 If the engine on the problem machine will not start or there is a failure in the brake system, please contact your Komatsu distributor for repairs. It is dangerous to tow a machine on a slope, so choose a place where there is a gradual slope. If there is no place with a gradual slope, carry out work to make the slope as small as possible. AB30598C If a problem machine is towed by another machine, ALWAYS use a wire rope with a sufficient towing capacity for the weight of the problem machine.
Do not use a wire rope which has cut strands (A), kinks (B), or reduced diameter (C). 38
