The operating instructions are part of the machine and must always be available at hand in the machine. If the operating instructions have been lost or if they have become unreadable, because they are dirty, you may receive a new copy from Komatsu or your local Komatsu dealer.

If the machine is resold, the operating instructions, the EU Declaration of Confor- mity (CE), and the licence are to be handed over to the new owner. The owner of the machine has to ensure that all persons driving the machine have the legally required min- imum age and are physically and mentally fit to perform the tasks they are charged with. all persons in charge with operating or maintaining the machine are appropriately instructed before operation or maintenance is started. They must have completely read and understood these operating instructions. In particular, this applies to the following section "Notes on Safety Regulations" and the chapter "Safety".

EU Directives

Introduction 1.1. Foreword Please note: If the owner modifies safety-related parts of the machine, the cer- tificate of conformity of the manufacturer will lapse and the person who has performed the modification has to issue a new certifi- cate. Should you have any questions concerning this point, please do not hesitate to ask Komatsu. Our continuous effort to improve the machine's design may lead to changes of machine details. However, the introduction of these improvements does not oblige us to perform them on machines which have already been delivered and are already in use.

If these improvements result in minor changes, these minor changes will not be described in the operating instructions. Should you require new available information about your machine or have any questions concerning the information given in the operating instructions, please do not hesitate to contact either Komatsu or your responsible Komatsu dealer. These operating instructions may refer to attachments and spe- cial equipment not available from your local Komatsu dealer. Should you require attachments or special equipment, ask your responsible Komatsu dealer.

EU Directives This machine is labelled with the CE mark indicating that it meets all basic requirements concerning safety and protection of health of the EU Machinery Directive 89/392/EEC, its supplements 91/ 368 EEC and 93/44 EEC for Europe, and the regulation 95/27/ EEC. In addition, the harmonised European standards EN 292-2 and EN 474/1 of 1994, and EN 474-3 of 1996 were applied for manufacture of the machine. This fact is documented in the EU Declaration of Conformity (CE) which is supplied together with the machine.

This means that in those cases in which the machine is modified in such a way that safety of the machine is affected, the person responsible for safety of the machine is the one who has arranged for the machine to be modified. If you use the machine for any other purpose than that defined as correct use, you are the person who has to ensure that safety is maintained. Modifica- tions of the machine or use of the machine for any other purpose than that specified as correct use may require a new CE mark and thus new issuing of an EU Declaration of Conformity.

If a machine is used in other countries than Germany, it may be possible that special national safety devices and specifications are missing which may be required for the application in the rele- vant country. For example, for Komatsu machines, the manufac- turer has to design the cab roof in such a way that a warning beacon can be attached to the roof. However, when driving the machine on roads, this warning beacon must be covered. WA70-5 – VEAM320100 1-3
