Komatsu — 8.2 DURING MAINTENANCE

WARNING:For reasons of safety, always follow these safety precautions. SAFETY When carrying out maintenance on top of the machine, make sure that the footholds are clean and free of obstructions, and follow the precautions below to prevent yourself from failing. Do not spill oil or grease. Do not leave tools lying around. Mind your step when you are walking. Never jump down from the machine. When getting on or off the machine, always use the steps and handrails, and maintain three-point contact (both feet and one hand or both hands and one foot) at all times. Use protective equipment if necessary. To prevent injury, do not carry out maintenance with the engine running.

If maintenance must be carried out with the engine running, carry out the operation with at least two workers and do as follows. One worker must always sit in the operators seat and be ready to stop the engine at any time. All workers must maintain contact with the other workers. When carrying out operations near rotating parts, there is danger of being caught in the parts, so be extremely careful. When cleaning inside the radiator, set safety lock (1) to the LOCK position to prevent the work equipment from moving. In addition, turn parking brake switch (2) to ON. Do not touch any control levers.

If any control lever must be operated, always give a signal to the other workers to warn them to move to a safe place. Never touch the fan blade or fan belt with any tool or any part of your body. There is danger of serious injury. When opening the inspection window or tank oil filler to carry out inspection, be careful not to drop any nuts, bolts, or tools inside the machine. If such parts are dropped into the machine, it will cause breakage of the machine, mistaken operation, and other failures. If you drop any part into the machine, always be sure to remove it from the machine. When carrying out inspection, do not carry any unnecessary tools or parts in your pocket.
