Komatsu — WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS

OM2210 10/11 Safety - Section 22 Warnings and Cautions Page 22-3 A warning plate is mounted on top of the radiator surge tank cover near the radiator cap. The engine cooling system is pressurized when the engine is on and/or when the system is hot. Turn the engine off and allow the engine to cool before removing the radiator cap. Release internal pressure by depress- ing the pressure relief. Unless the pressure is first released, removing the radiator cap will result in the hot coolant being expelled from the radiator. Serious scalding and burning can result. Warning plates are attached to the hydraulic tank and the fuel tank.
