Komatsu — Periodic Replacement of Safety Critical Parts

Precaution for High Voltage When the engine is running or immediately after it has stopped, high voltage is generated at the injector terminal and inside the engine controller, so there is danger of electrocution. Never touch the injector terminal or the inside of the engine controller. If it is necessary to touch the injector terminal or the inside of the engine controller, please contact your Komatsu distributor. Waste Materials To prevent pollution, pay careful attention to the method of disposing of waste materials. Always put oil drained from your machine in containers. Never drain oil directly onto the ground or dump into the sewage system, rivers, the sea, or lakes.

Obey appropriate laws and regulations when disposing of harmful objects such as oil, fuel, coolant, solvent, filters, and batteries. Mercury Containing Component(s) The monitor display backlight contains mercury. The machine may be equipped with optional High Intensity Discharge lighting lamps which also may contain mercury. These components must be reused, recycled or properly disposed of in accordance with applicable Local, State and Federal Laws. Air Conditioner Maintenance If air conditioner refrigerant gets into your eyes, it may cause blindness; if it touches your skin, it may cause frostbite. Never touch refrigerant.

Compressed Air When carrying out cleaning with compressed air, there is a hazard of serious injury caused by flying particles. When using compressed air to clean elements or the radiator, always wear safety goggles, dust mask, gloves, and other protective equipment. Periodic Replacement of Safety Critical Parts For using the machine safely for an extended period of time, replace safety-critical parts like hoses and seat belts periodically. Replacement of safety-critical parts: See “SAFETY CRITICAL PARTS” on page 3-16. The material of these components naturally changes over time, and repeated use causes deterioration, wear, and fatigue.

As a result, there is a hazard that these components may fail and cause serious injury or death. It is difficult to judge the remaining life of these components from external inspection or the feeling when operating, so always replace them at the specified interval. Replace or repair safety-critical parts if any defect is found, even when they have not reached the time specified interval. PC200LC-8 1-41
