GENERAL PRECAUTIONS SAFETY ACTION IF FIRE OCCURS If a fire occurs, escape from the machine as follows. G Turn the starting switch OFF and stop the engine. G Use the handrails and steps to get off the machine. WINDOW WASHER LIQUID Use an ethyl alcohol base washer liquid. Methyl alcohol base washer liquid may irritate your eyes, so do not use it. CAB WINDOW GLASS If the cab glass on the work equipment side is broken, there is a hazard that the work equipment may contact the operator’s body directly. Stop operation immediately and replace the glass.
PROTECTION FROM FALLING OBJECTS, FLYING OBJECTS, AND INTRUDING OBJECTS To protect the operator, install any necessary guard on jobsites where there is danger of falling objects, flying objects, or intruding objects entering the operator's cab. PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING ROPS (Roll Over Protective Structure) Install ROPS when working in places where there is danger of falling rocks, such as in mines and quarries, or in places where there is danger of rolling over. G If ROPS is installed, do not remove it when operating the machine. G ROPS is installed to protect the operator when machine rolls over. When machine rolls over, ROPS supports its weight and absorbs its impact energy.
G If ROPS is modified, its strength may lower. When modify- ing it, consult your Komatsu distributor. G If ROPS is deformed by falling objects or by rolling over, its strength lowers and its design functions cannot be maintained. In this case, be sure to ask your Komatsu distributor about repair method. G Even if ROPS is installed, it does not work normally, if your seat belt is not fastened. Be sure to fasten your seat belt when operating machine. 2-18
