Komatsu — KEEPING THE MACHINE CLEAN

SAFETY WORKING UNDER THE MACHINE Always use approved jack stands to support the machine when perform- ing maintenance under the chassis. Never rely on hydraulic jacks or the machines work equipment to sup- port the machine when working under or on the machine. Always lower the work equipment to the ground after raising the machine for repairs. USING DROP LAMPS Use only approved anti-explosion proof lamps when checking fuel, oil, or the batteries. Non-approved lamps can cause an explosion or fire. KEEPING THE MACHINE CLEAN Never use flammable liquids to clean your machine. Use only approved non-flammable cleaning solvents to clean parts or the machine itself.

Avoid using high pressure steam cleaners or caustic soaps to wash the machine if possible. Steam cleaning or using caustic soaps may damage paint, wiring or sensitive electrical components. Never use high pressure water or flood the inside of the operator’s cab. Doing so may damage sensitive electrical components. When pressure washing, use high pressure hot water and mild grease cutting soaps. Always grease the machine after cleaning to push any water out of the pivot point connections. 1-14 WB140-2N, WB150-2N
