NOTES ON SAFETY REGULATIONS 6. NOTES ON SAFETY REGULATIONS The procedures and precautionary measures concerning operation and maintenance only apply on the provision that the machine is used as intended. 6.1 CORRECT USE A loader is a machine which has its own drive and which is moving on either tracks or wheels. By moving in for- ward direction, a loader can load material or cut the ground with the work unit (use of bucket) provided for loading which is attached to its front. The standard working cycle of a loader comprises filling and lifting the loading bucket, transporting material, and emptying the loading bucket.
If you use the machine for any other purpose than specified above, we will not accept any responsibility for safety. All considerations concerning safety will then be up to the owner or the operating and maintenance personnel. In any case, neither you nor any other person are/is authorised to perform work and functions explicitly prohibited in these operating instructions. 6.2 SAFETY NOTES IN THE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Most accidents are caused by disregard of basic safety regulations during operation and maintenance of ma- chines.
In order to avoid accidents and thus damage to persons and property, read all applicable safety notes and warnings in these operating instructions and on the machine, before you start operation or maintenance of the machine and always adhere to these safety notes and warnings. The chapter "Safety" contains a summary of all safety notes applying to this machine. We cannot, however, pre- dict all circumstances resulting in potentially dangerous situations when operating and maintaining the machine. For this reason, it may be possible that the safety notes in these operating instructions and on the machine do not comprise all possible safety measures.
If procedures or measures are required which are not recommended or approved, you must ensure that performing them is neither dangerous nor involving potential damage to the ma- chine. Should you have any doubt concerning safety of a procedure, either directly contact Komatsu America In- ternational Company or your local Komatsu dealer. 7
