Komatsu — 8.2 DURING MAINTENANCE

WARNING:For reasons of safety, always follow these safety precautions. SAFETY RULES TO FOLLOW WHEN ADDING FUEL OR OIL Fuel, oil, antifreeze, and window washer fluid can be ignited by a flame. Always observe the following: Do not smoke. Wipe up any spilled fuel, oil, antifreeze, or window washer fluid immediately. Tighten all fuel, oil, antifreeze, and window washer fluid caps securely. Use well ventilated areas for adding or storing fuel, oil, antifreeze, and window washer fluid. Do not bend high pressure hoses or hit them with hard objects. Do not use any bent or cracked piping, tubes or hoses. They may burst during use. Always repair any loose or broken fuel hoses or oil hoses.

If fuel or oil leaks, it may cause a fire. Do not forget that the work equipment circuits are always under pressure. Do not add oil, drain oil, or carry out maintenance or inspection before completely releasing the internal pressure. If oil is leaking under high pressure from small holes, it is dangerous if the jet of high pressure oil hits your skin or enters your eyes. Always wear safety glasses and thick gloves, and use a piece of cardboard or a sheet of wood to check for oil leakage. If you are hit by a jet of high pressure oil, consult a doctor immediately for medical attention. WA380-3MC 1-26 HANDLING HIGH PRESSURE HOSES PRECAUTIONS WITH HIGH PRESSURE OIL
