SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS FOR MAINTENANCE
HANDLING SUSPENSION CYLINDER, ACCUMULATOR, GAS SPRING
The suspension cylinders, accumulator, and gas springs are charged with high-pressure nitrogen gas. If any
mistake is made in handling, there is danger that it may cause an explosion or serious personal injury. To prevent
accidents, always do as follows.
Do not remove or disassemble unless necessary.
Do not bring it near flame or dispose of it in fire.
Do not make holes in it, weld it, or use a cutting torch.
Do not hit or roll the accumulator, or subject it to any impact.
Ask your Komatsu distributor when sealing gas into the cylinder
or replacing gas from it.
When disposing of the accumulator, the gas must be released.
Please contact your Komatsu distributor to have this work
performed.
PRECAUTIONS WITH COMPRESSED AIR
When carrying out cleaning with compressed air, there is a hazard of serious personal injury caused by flying dust
or particles.
When using compressed air to clean the filter element or radiator, wear safety glasses, anti-dust mask, gloves,
and other protective equipment.
MAINTENANCE OF AIR CONDITIONER
If air conditioner refrigerant gets into your eyes, it may cause loss of sight; if it contacts your skin, it may cause
frostbite. Never loosen any parts of the cooling circuit.
DISPOSING OF WASTE MATERIALS
To prevent pollution, pay careful attention to the method of disposing of waste materials.
Always put oil drained from your machine in containers. Never
drain oil directly onto the ground or dump into the sewage
system, rivers, the sea, or lakes.
Obey appropriate laws and regulations when disposing of
harmful objects such as oil, fuel, coolant, solvent, filters, and
batteries.
METHOD OF SELECTING WINDOW WASHER FLUID
Use an ethyl alcohol base washer liquid.
Methyl alcohol base washer liquid may irritate your eyes, so do not use it.
