Komatsu — Precautions When Working at High Places

SAFETY MAINTENANCE INFORMATION Warning Tag Always attach the “DO NOT OPERATE” warning tag to the work equipment control lever in the operator's cab to alert others that you are performing service or maintenance on the machine. Attach additional warning tags around the machine if necessary. Warning tag Part No. 09963-03001 Keep this warning tag in the tool box while it is not used. If there is not a tool box, keep the tag in the operation manual pocket. If any other person starts the engine, or touches or operates the work equipment control levers (pedals) while you are performing service or maintenance, you may suffer serious injury.

Keep Work Place Clean and Tidy Do not leave hammers or other tools lying around in the work place. Wipe up all grease, oil, or other substances that will cause you to slip. Always keep the work place clean and tidy to enable you to carry out operations safely. If the work place is not kept clean and tidy, there is the danger that you will trip, slip, or fall over and injure yourself. When cleaning the ceiling window which is made of organic glass (polycarbonate), use tap water and avoid use of organic solvents for cleaning.

An organic solvent like benzene, toluene or methanol can invite a chemical reaction like dissolution and decomposition on the window glass, deteriorating polycarbonate in use. Appoint Leader When Working With Others When repairing the machine or when removing and installing the work equipment, appoint a leader and follow his instructions during the operation. Precautions When Working at High Places When working at high places, use a step ladder or other stand to ensure that the work can be carried out safely. 1-34 PC200LC-8
