Komatsu — PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING RADIO CONTROL FOR TRAVEL

SAFETY 7. PRECAUTIONS FOR OPERATION ENSURING SAFETY AT THE JOBSITE The person operating the radio control cannot see the other side of the machine, so always check beforehand that there is no danger before starting operation. When operating by radio control, the operating position of the operator is different from when operating from the operator's seat. Check beforehand that it is possible to move the machine safely or check on the spot that it is possible to operate safely before carrying out the operation. INSTALLATION, INSPECTION OF RADIO CONTROL BOX Fit the chest protector securely.

Be sure to wipe off any mud, oil, snow or anything else on the control levers and switches that may cause them to slip. The structure is not completely waterproof, so do not put the radio control box in water. PRECAUTIONS WHEN STARTING ENGINE Before starting the engine, sound the horn to give a warning. Do not allow anyone other than the operator to come close to the machine or the operator. PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING RADIO CONTROL FOR TRAVEL When the machine is being operated by radio control, there is no operator on the machine, and operation of the machine is carried out from a distance, so it is difficult to judge the speed accurately.

In particular, when traveling at high speed, be extremely careful about the movement of the machine and the road surface in front of the machine. When the steering the machine with the engine running at high speed, operate the joystick slowly and be par- ticularly careful not to make sharp turns. 2-13
