SAFETY RULES DURING ASSEMBLY The following list of safety practices is intended for use by personnel during field assembly of the 930E Komatsu Truck. This list of safety rules is not intended to replace local safety rules or regulations, federal, state, or local laws; the safety precautions recommended here are general and should be used in conjunction with all prevailing local rules and regulations. 1. All personnel should be properly trained for the assembly operation. 2. Safety equipment such as safety glasses, hard toe shoes and hard hats should be worn at all times during the assembly procedure.
Before doing any welding, read “Special Precau- tions For Welding On A 930E Truck” in Field Weld- ing Procedures. 3. Thoroughly inspect the assembly site. It should be free of weeds, debris or any flammable material. 10. Never allow welding on the frame or its compo- nents unless battery charging alternator lead wire is disconnected and all electrical cabinet plug-in- cards are disconnected. 4. Use only solid hard wood for cribbing. When using metal support stands, place wood blocks between support and frame to prevent metal to metal contact. 11. When welding, always make the ground connec- tion to the part being welded. Never allow welding current to pass through bearings, engine, etc. 5.
Inspect all lifting devices. Refer to the manufac- turer's manual for correct capacities and safety procedures when lifting components. 12. Never allow welding on the transmission unless it has been completely disassembled. 13. Never allow welding on the fuel tank or hydraulic tank, unless tanks have been properly purged and ventilated. 6. Make a daily inspection of all lifting cables and chains. Replace any questionable items and insure cables and chains are capable of support- ing the load. 7. Never stand beneath a suspended load. Use of guy ropes are recommended for guiding and positioning a suspended load. 14. Use only the correct tools prescribed for the spe- cific job to be done.
Never improvise wrenches, screw drivers, sockets, etc. 15. Lifting eyes and hooks should be fabricated from the proper materials and rated to lift the load being placed on them. 8. Always maintain fire control equipment in the immediate area of the assembly. Inspect fire extinguishers regularly to make sure they are fully charged and in good working condition. 16. When the weight of any component(s) or any assembly procedure is not known or unclear, con- tact the KMS Area Service Representative for fur- ther information. 9. Capscrews and/or nuts being replaced must be of same grade as originally supplied. FAM0107 930E FIELD ASSEMBLY MANUAL Page 1-1 Safety Rules, Tools, & Equipment
