SAFETY INFORMATION

SAFETY MESSAGES
Most accidents are caused by the failure to follow fundamental
safety rules for the operation and maintenance of machines.

To avoid accidents, read, understand and follow all precautions

and warnings in this manual and on the machine before perform-
ing operation and maintenance.

To identify hazards on the machine pictorial decals are used (see

POSITION FOR ATTACHING SAFETY LABELS).

RED WARNING TRIANGLE - This is used on safety

labels where there is a high probability of serious injury or death if
the hazard is not avoided. These safety messages or labels usu-
ally describe precautions that must be taken to avoid the hazard.
Failure to avoid this hazard may also result in serious damage to
the machine.

ORANGE WARNING TRIANGLE - This is used on

safety labels where there is a potentially dangerous situation
which could result in serious injury or death if the hazard is not
avoided. These safety messages or labels usually describe pre-
cautions that must be taken to avoid the hazard. Failure to avoid
this hazard may also result in serious damage of the machine

YELLOW SAFETY TRIANGLE - This is used on

safety labels for hazards which could result in minor or moderate
injury if the hazard is not avoided. This word might also be used
for a hazard where the only result could be damage to the
machine.

NOTICE - This word is used for precautions that must be taken to

avoid actions which could shorten the life of the machine.

Safety precautions are described in SAFETY from page 1-1.

Komatsu cannot predict every circumstance that might involve a

potential hazard in operation and maintenance. Therefore the
safety message in this manual and on the machine may not
include all possible safety precautions. If any procedures or
actions not specifically recommended or allowed in this manual
are used, you must be sure that you and others can do such pro-
cedures and actions safely and without damaging the machine. If
you are unsure about the safety of some procedures, contact
Komatsu or your Komatsu distributor.

VIBRATION
● The weighted root mean square acceleration value to which
the operator’s arms are subjected does not exceed 2.5 m/s²

● The weighted root mean square acceleration value to which

the operator’s body is subjected was measured at 0.64 m/s²

These results were obtained by accelerometers during trench dig-

ging.

EMERGENCY STEERING
This machine is equipped with an emergency steering system
and complies to ISO 5010. In the advent of failure of the source of
power for the steering system (engine failure) whilst travelling the
machine can be steered allowing the machine to be safely
stopped.

In such a case the effort required at the steering wheel and the
number of turns to steer the machine will increase. To confirm
function of emergency steering system raise the front wheels off
the ground (using the work equipment) and with the engine off,
turn the steering wheel and check movement of the wheels.

CLOTHING AND PERSONAL PROTECTIVE ITEMS

● Avoid loose clothing, jewelry, and loose long hair. They can
catch on controls or in moving parts and cause serious injury
or death. Also, do not wear oily cloths because they are flam-
mable.

● Wear a hard hat, safety glasses, safety shoes, mask or

gloves when operating or maintaining the machine. Always
wear safety goggles, hard hat and heavy gloves if your job
involves scattering metal chips or minute materials, this is so
particularly when driving pins with a hammer and when clean-
ing the air cleaner element with compressed air.
Check also that there is no one near the machine.

Driving in pins, see “REPLACEMENT AND INVERSION

OF BUCKET” on page 139.

Cleaning of air cleaner element, see “WHEN REQUIRED”

on page 194. in service procedure.

UNAUTHORISED MODIFICATION

● Any modification made without authorization from Komatsu

can create hazards.

18
SAFETY GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: Failure to follow these safety precautions may lead to a serious accident.

● Before making a modification, consult your Komatsu distribu-

tor. Komatsu will not be responsible for any injury or damage
caused by any unauthorised modification.

ALWAYS APPLY LOCK WHEN LEAVING OPERATOR’S SEAT

● When standing up from the operator’s seat, always raise the

control lever Pad Safety lock to the LOCK position. If you
accidentally touch the travel or swing lever when they are not
locked, the work equipment may suddenly move and cause
serious injury or damage.

● When leaving the machine, lower the work equipment com-

pletely to the ground, set the control lever Pad safety lock
lever to the LOCK position, then stop the engine and use the
key to lock all the equipment. Always take the key with you.

Work equipment posture see “PARKING MACHINE” on

page 142.

MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING

● NEVER jump on or off the machine. NEVER get on or off a

moving machine.

● When mounting or dismounting, always face the machine and

use the handrails, machine or chassis steps.

● Do not hold any control levers when getting on or off the

machine.

● Ensure safety by always maintaining at least three-point con-

tact of hands and feet with the handrails, steps or wheels.

● Always remove any oil or mud from the handrails, steps and
wheels. If they are damaged, repair them and tighten any
loose bolts.

● If grasping the door handrail when mounting or dismounting

or moving on the chassis steps, open and lock the door
securely in the open position. Otherwise, the door may move
suddenly, causing you to lose balance and fall.

FIRE PREVENTION FOR FUEL AND OIL

Fuel, oil, and antifreeze can be ignited by a flame. Fuel is particu-

larly FLAMMABLE and can be HAZARDOUS.

● Keep flames away from flammable fluids.

● Stop the engine and do not smoke when refuelling.
