SAFETY SAFETY INFORMATION FALLING OBJECTS, FLYING OBJECTS AND INTRUDING OBJECTS PREVENTION On jobsites where there is a hazard that falling objects, flying objects, or intruding objects may hit or enter the operator's cab, consider the operating conditions and install the necessary guards to protect the operator. q When carrying out demolition or breaker operations, install a front guard and use a laminated coating sheet on the front glass. q When working in mines or quarries where there is a hazard of falling rock, install FOPS (Falling Objects Protective Structure) and a front guard, and use a laminated coating sheet on the front glass.
q When carrying out the above operations, always close the front window. In addition, always ensure that by standers are a safe distance away and are not in hazard from falling or flying objects. q The above recommendations assume that the conditions are for standard operations, but it may be necessary to add additional guards according to the operating conditions on the jobsite. Always contact your Komatsu distributor for advice. ATTACHMENT INSTALLATION q When installing optional parts or attachments, there may be problems with safety or legal restrictions. There- fore contact your Komatsu distributor for advice.
q Any injuries, accidents, or product failures resulting from the use of unauthorized attachments or parts will not be the responsibility of Komatsu. q When installing and using optional attachments, read the instruction manual for the attachment, and the gen- eral information related to attachments in this manual. ATTACHMENT COMBINATIONS Depending on the type or combination of work equipment, there is a hazard that the work equipment may hit the cab or other parts of the machine. Before using unfamiliar work equipment, check if there is any hazard of interfer- ence, and operate with caution.
CAB WINDOW GLASSES q If the cab glass on the work equipment side is broken, there is a hazard that the work equipment may contact the operator's body directly. Stop operation immediately and replace the glass. q The ceiling window is made of organic glass (polycarbonate), and as such it is apt to break easily when receiv- ing damage on the surface, thereby deteriorating its protective characteristic. If there is a crack or damage caused by a fallen rock, or when any sign of them is noticed, replace it with a new window. UNAUTHORIZED MODIFICATIONS Any modification made without authorization from Komatsu can create hazards. Before making a modification, consult your Komatsu distributor.
