OM2204 Warnings & Cautions - Section 22 Page 22-1 WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS The following pages give an explanation of the Warning, Caution, and Service Instruction plates and decals attached to the truck. The plates and decals listed here are typical of this Komatsu model, but because of customer options, individual trucks may have plates and decals that are different from those shown here. The plates and decals must be kept clean and legible. If any decal or plate becomes unable to be read or dam- aged, it should be replaced with a new one. A warning decal surrounds the key switch located to the right of the steering column on the instrument panel.
The warning stresses the importance of read- ing the operator's manual before operation. A Grade/Speed Retard plate is located on the left front post of the operator's cab and provides the rec- ommended MAXIMUM speeds to be used when descending various grades with a loaded truck. Always refer to the decal in the operator's cab. The decal in the truck may differ from the decal shown here due to OPTIONAL truck equipment such as: wheelmotor drive train ratios, retarder grids, tire sizes, etc. A plate attached to the right rear corner of the cab states the Rollover Protective Structure and Falling Object Protective Structure meets various SAE per- formance requirements. ! WARNING!
Do not make modifications to this structure, or attempt to repair damage without written approval from the Manufacturer. Unautho- rized repairs will void certification.
