Komatsu — 6.1.2 ATTACHMENT INSTALLATION

ATTACHMENTS AND OPTIONS - GENERAL INFORMATION 6.1.2 ATTACHMENT INSTALLATION Long work equipment or heavy work equipment cause the machine to have poor stability, so there is danger of the machine losing its balance and tipping over when traveling down steep hills or when swinging on slopes. Never do any of the following. They are extremely dan- gerous.

Traveling downhill with the work equipment raised Traveling across slopes Swinging upper structure on slopes If heavy-load work equipment is installed, there will be excessive overrun when swinging (the distance from operating to stop the swing to the point where the swing stops completely), so there is danger of mistaking the distance and hitting other objects. Allow a margin to the stopping point when operating. In addition, the hydraulic drift (the gradual downward movement caused by the weight of the work equipment when the work equipment is stopped in a raised condi- tion) will also increase.

If the correct procedure is not used when installing the boom and arm, it may lead to serious damage. Please consult your Komatsu Dealer. When long work equipment is installed, the working range will suddenly become larger, so there is danger of mistaking the distance and hitting other objects. Allow an ample margin between the work equipment and sur- rounding obstacles when operating. 20 ~ 30 cm RYA16760 RYA00550 RYA03680 217 WARNING
