SAFETY, NOISE AND VIBRATION PLATES

2.1 SAFETY, NOISE AND VIBRATION PLATES

2.1.1 POSITION OF THE SAFETY PLATES

The safety plates must always be legible and in good conditions; for this reason, if they are dirty with dust, oil or

grease, it is necessary to clean them with a solution made of water and detergent.

Do not use fuel, petrol or solvents.

If the plates are damaged, ask for new ones to Komatsu or to your Komatsu Distributor.

In case of replacement of a component provided with a safety plate, make sure that such a plate is applied also

to the new part.

The machine can be provided with other plates in addition to those indicated below; keep also to the instructions

given in the additional plates, in any case.
