2-19
No attempt should be made to repair these parts as this may have an adverse effect on component strength or
durability.
If such a repair is undertaken without authorisation from Komatsu there is a danger that a problem might occur that
will lead to serious personal injury.
If in doubt please contact your Komatsu distributor.
Komatsu can not take any responsibility for accidents, failures or damage caused by unauthorized repair to the
above mentioned components.
ATTACHMENT INSTALLATION
q When installing optional parts or attachments, there may be problems with safety or legal restrictions. There-
fore contact your Komatsu distributor for advice.
q Any injuries, accidents, or product failures resulting from the use of unauthorized attachments or parts will not
be the responsibility of Komatsu.
q When installing and using optional attachments, read the instruction manual for the attachment, and the gen-
eral information related to attachments in this manual.
ATTACHMENT COMBINATIONS
Depending on the type or combination of work equipment, there is a hazard that the work equipment may hit the
cab or other parts of the machine. Before using unfamiliar work equipment, check if there is any hazard of interfer-
ence, and operate with caution.
CAB WINDOW GLASSES
q If the cab glass on the work equipment side is broken, there is a hazard that the work equipment may contact
the operator's body directly. Stop operation immediately and replace the glass.
q The ceiling window is made of organic glass (polycarbonate), and as such it is apt to break easily when receiv-
ing damage on the surface, thereby deteriorating its protective characteristic. If there is a crack or damage
caused by a fallen rock, or when any sign of them is noticed, replace it with a new window.
UNAUTHORIZED MODIFICATIONS
If this machine is modified without the permission from Komatsu, there is a danger that problems may occur with
safety and that this may lead to serious personal injury. Modifications may have an adverse effect on items such
as machine strength and visibility. Before making any modifications please consult your Komatsu distributor.
Komatsu cannot take any responsibility for accidents, failures or damage caused by modifications not authorized
by Komatsu.
SAFETY AT JOBSITE
Before starting operations, thoroughly check the area for any unusual conditions that could be dangerous.
q When carrying out operations near combustible materials such as thatched roofs, dry leaves or dry grass,
there is a hazard of fire, so be careful when operating.
q Check the terrain and condition of the ground at the worksite, and determine the safest method of operation.
Do not carry out operations at places where there is a hazard of landslides or falling rocks.
