AUTHORIZED OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT 6.1 AUTHORIZED OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT CAUTION Komatsu Utility machines can be supplied with optional equipment in addition to the standard equip- ment; if optional equipment is installed and used, carefully read the relevant operation manual and keep to the instructions given therein. Use exclusively optional or special equipment recommended and approved by Komatsu Utility and complying with the requisites indicated in the table (See “6.1.3 CHARACTERISTICS OF THE OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT”). Komatsu Utility cannot be held liable for any damage, accident, reduction of the machine efficiency due to the application and use of unauthorized equipment.
6.1.1 PRECAUTIONS REGARDING SAFETY 214 The installation of optional accessories and equipment other than those authorized by Komatsu Utility shortens the life of the machine and may also cause problems concerning safety. It is advisable to contact a Komatsu Utility Dealer before installing any accessory not indicated in this operation and maintenance manual. In case of failure to comply with this rule, Komatsu Utility declines any responsibility for accidents or damage. DANGER • When removing or installing any equipment, take the following precautions and be careful to the safety conditions. • Carry out installation and removal on a firm and flat surface.
• When the operations are carried out by two or more operators, decide the communication signals in ad- vance and respect them during the operations. • Use a crane to handle objects weighing more than 25 kg. • Always support any heavy part before removing it. When heavy parts are lifted, be always careful to the position of the center of gravity of the object being handled. • It is very dangerous to carry out any operation with a suspended load; therefore, always position the load on a support and make sure that it is in a safe position. • When installing or removing any equipment, make sure that it is stable and cannot fall down. • Never stand under loads being lifted by a crane.
• Take care to choose a safe position, where you do not run any risk in case the load should fall down. • Specialized personnel is required to operate cranes. Do not allow non-specialized personnel to use cranes. IMPORTANT • For further details regarding installation and removal operations, contact your Komatsu Utility Dealer.
