SAFETY FIRE PREVENTION FOR FUEL AND OIL Fuel and oil are flammable and can be hazardous. Always observe the following: Keep any flames away from flammable fluids. Stop the engine and do not smoke when refueling. Tighten all fuel and oil caps securely. Refueling or adding oil should be made in well ventilated areas. Keep oil and fuel in its proper place. Clean up any fluid spills. PREVENTING BURNS Wear gloves and safety goggles when checking any fluid levels: engine oil, hydraulic oil, engine coolant, transmission fluid. Before checking the engine coolant, engine oil, or hydraulic oil, stop the engine and let the fluids cool down before attempting to check the level.
If you don’t, the hot fluids may spurt out and cause burns. Slowly loosen the radiator cap to release the internal pressure or the hot coolant may spurt out and cause burns. CAB STRUCTURE PRECAUTIONS The ROPS (Roll Over Protective Structure) must never be removed from the machine. The ROPS is installed to protect the operator if the machine should roll over. The ROPS supports the load if a roll over occurs and also absorbs the impact. The ROPS fulfills all the regulations and standards for all countries. The ROPS should not be modified, without written autho- rization.
If the ROPS becomes damaged because of a roll over, the strength may be reduced and it may not able to fulfill its function properly for future use. If the machine rolls over while working, have the dealer inspect the cab structure before pro- ceeding with work. OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT PRECAUTIONS When installing optional equipment, read the instruction manual related to the option before installing or using it. Do not use optional equipment, without written permission from Komatsu. Unauthorized equipment may create safety prob- lems or could affect the life of the machine.
Komatsu cannot be held liable for injury, accident, or product failure resulting from the installation and use of unauthorized equipment. 1-6 WB140PS-2N WB150PS-2N
