SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS FOR OPERATION
TRANSPORTATION
When the machine is transported on a trailer, there is danger of serious personal injury or death during
transportation. Always do as follows.
Always check the machine dimensions carefully. Depending on the attachments installed, the machine weight,
transportation height, and overall length may differ.
Check beforehand that all bridges and other structures on the transportation route are strong enough to withstand
the combined weight of the transporter and the machine being transported.
The machine can be divided into parts for transportation, so when transporting the machine, please contact your
Komatsu distributor to have the work carried out.
For the procedure when transporting, see "TRANSPORTATION (PAGE 3-118)".

Width of ramps: Same width as tiers

When loading or unloading the machine, mistaken operation may
bring the hazard of the machine tipping over or falling, so particular
care is necessary. Always do as follows.
Perform loading and unloading on firm, level ground only.
Maintain a safe distance from the edge of the road or cliff.
Always use ramps of adequate strength. Be sure that the ramps
are wide, long, and thick enough to provide a safe loading slope.
Take suitable steps to prevent the ramps from moving out of
position or coming off.
Be sure the ramp surface is clean and free of grease, oil, ice and
loose materials. Remove dirt from the tire of the machine. On
a rainy day, in particular, be extremely careful since the ramp
surface is slippery.
Run the engine at low idling and drive the machine slowly at low
speed.
Never correct your steering on the ramps. If necessary, drive off
the ramps, correct the direction, then enter the ramps again.
When loading or unloading to an embankment or platform, make sure that it has suitable width, strength, and
grade.
For machines equipped with a cab, always lock the door after loading the machine. If this is not done, the door
may open during transportation.
