Komatsu — PRECAUTIONS WHEN TRAVELING

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR OPERATION PRECAUTIONS WHEN TRAVELING G When using the machine, to prevent the machine from overturning due to overloading and to avoid damage to the work equipment, do not exceed the maximum permitted load or performance of the machine. G Do not load the dump body above the maximum payload. The brakes will lose their effect. G Load the dump body uniformly. Do not travel when the load in the dump body is unbalanced. G When stacking U-pipes or concrete blocks, or when carrying other materials or equipment, lay planks, and secure with ropes to prevent the load from moving or falling G Stop the engine when raising the body for operation.

It is extremely dangerous to carry out operations with any person in the dump body. G Do not travel with the body raised. Do not operate the dump when traveling. G Do not go in or out of the operator's compartment during loading operations. G When not operating the dump body, set the body control pedal to the lock position to prevent the body from being operated by mistake. G When traveling on rough ground, to prevent the machine from turning over, travel at low speed and avoid sudden changes in direction. G Avoid traveling over obstacles. If it is necessary to travel over an obstacle, travel at low speed.

The machine will easily tip to the left or right side, so never travel over objects which cause the machine to tip strongly to the left or right. Do not travel over any obstacle that causes the machine to tilt strongly (more than 10є). G When traveling or carrying out operations, always keep a safe distance from people, structures, or other machines to avoid coming into contact with them. G When passing over bridges or structures, check first that the structure is strong enough to support the weight of the machine.

G When operating in tunnels, under bridges, under electric wires, or other places where the height is limited, operate slowly and be extremely careful not to let the work equipment hit anything. 2-25
