Komatsu — 10.2.2 Reversing

SAFETY MEASURES DURING OPERATION 10.2 MACHINE OPERATION 10.2.1 BEFORE YOU START THE ENGINE Walk around the machine to check whether persons or objects are in the way before you get on the machine. Do not start the engine, if a warning sign has been attached to the control lever or another point. Sound the horn just before you start the engine. Start and operate the machine only from the driver's seat. Apart from the operator, no other person is permitted in the driver's cab or in the vicinity of the machine. If the machine is provided with a reversing warning system, you must ensure that it operates correctly.

Before you start the machine, check that the articulated steer- ing is unlocked (position '1') and that the locking bar is at- tached to the frame by means of bolts and spring bolts. Always wear the safety belt when operating the machine. 1 2 75_155 10.2.2 REVERSING These rules must be observed for all machines, i.e. also for those machines equipped with a reversing warning system: Check that there is nobody near the machine or in the way. Before you start reversing, sound the horn to warn persons within or near the operating area. When working in potentially dangerous areas or areas with ob- structed view, ask another person to regulate and supervise traffic. 28
