GENERAL SAFETY MEASURES
3-9
ROLL-OVER PROTECTION SYSTEM (ROPS)
• The roll-over protection system (ROPS) protects the opera-
tor and absorbs load and impact energy, if the machine
should roll over.
• The ROPS is a fixed component of the cab. The machine
must not be operated without this roll-over protection sys-
tem.
• If, however, the ROPS is modified, damaged, or repaired
without permission, its stability is impaired. In this case, the
ROPS must be replaced, since its correct function can no
longer be guaranteed.
• The ROPS can only provide maximum protection, if the driv-
er wears the safety belt correctly. For this reason, the safety
belt is to be worn when the machine is in operation.
ATTACHMENT FOR PROTECTION AGAINST FALLING OBJECTS (FOPS)
☞
• FOPS is a fixed component of the cab.
When you work on a site where there is danger of falling rocks or
other objects, the machines must be equipped with a FOPS. If
the FOPS is modified without permission or damaged, its stabili-
ty is impaired. In this case, the FOPS must be replaced, since its
correct function can no longer be guaranteed.
ATTACHMENTS
Prior to assembly and operation of an additional attachment,
read the attachment's manual and strictly adhere to the instruc-
tions on assembly and operation.
• Do not use attachments that have not been approved of by
Komatsu or the local Komatsu dealer. If you use attach-
ments which have not been approved of, safety, correct op-
eration, and service life of the machine may be impaired.
• Komatsu are not liable for injuries, accidents, and damage
resulting from the use of attachments that have not been ap-
proved.
