INSIDE OPERATOR’S COMPARTMENT
When entering the operator’s compartment, always remove mud and oil from the
soles of your shoes. If you operate the brake pedal with mud or oil on your shoes,
your foot may slip and may cause an accident.
After using the ashtray, make sure matches or cigarettes are properly extinguished and
be sure to close the lid. If the ashtray is left open, there is danger of fire.
Do not leave lighters or aerosol cans lying around the operator’s compartment. If the
temperature inside the operator’s compartment get’s too high, there is danger that the
lighter may explode.
Do not stick suction pads to the window glass. Suction pads may act as a lens and
could cause fire.
Do not use cellular telephones inside the operator’s compartment when driving or operating the machine.
Never bring any dangerous objects such as flammable or explosive items into the operator’s cab.
To ensure safety, do not use the radio or music headphones when operating the machine.
Keep the operator’s compartment clean, never allow trash or tools to accumulate, these may hinder the operation of the con-
trols or pedals.
When operating the machine, do not put your hands or head out of the window or beyond the protection of the ROPS.
Always use the seat belt equipped with your machine. Even when using the loader or backhoe unit. Be sure the seat belt is fas-
tened snugly around your waist before operating the machine.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING ROPS
The ROPS (Roll Over Protective Structure) must never be removed from the machine. The ROPS is installed to protect the
operator if the machine should roll over. It is designed not only to support the load if the machine should roll over, but also to
absorb the impact of the energy.
The ROPS fulfills all the regulations and standards for all countries, but if it is modified without authorization or is damaged,
the strength may be reduced and it may not able to fulfill its function properly.
PRECAUTIONS FOR ATTACHMENTS
When installing and using an optional attachment, read the instruction manual for the attachment and information related to
the attachments.
Do not use attachments that are not authorized by your Komatsu Distributor. Use of unauthorized attachments could create a
safety problem and adversely affect proper operation and useful life of the machine.
Any injuries, accidents, product failures resulting from use of unauthorized attachments will not be the responsibility of
Komatsu.
