When getting on or off the machine, always face the machine and maintain a Three Point Contact (both feet and one hand or one foot and both hands) with the handrails, steps and platforms to ensure that you support yourself properly. SAFETY When entering the cab and opening the cab door, push the door open until it is securely into the door klatch (1) and held in position. Use the hand rails on the inside of the door while entering or exiting the cab. Never hold any control levers or the steering wheel when getting on or off the machine. FIRE PREVENTION FOR FUEL AND OIL Fuel and oil are flammable. Fuel is particularly flammable and can be hazardous. Always observe the following:
Keep any open 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. DUST HAZARD PRECAUTIONS Dust can be hazardous to your health if it is inhaled. Komatsu does not use asbestos in its products, but if you handle materials containing asbestos fibers or other dust materials during demolition operations, always do as follows. Never use compressed air for cleaning. Use water to keep down the dust when cleaning.
If there is a danger there may be asbestos dust in the air, operate the machine with the wind to your back whenever possible. Use an approved respirator. Do not allow any other person into the area during operation. 1-6 WA480-5L
