SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR OPERATION • Check the coolant level, fuel level, DEF level, and oil level in engine oil pan, check for clogging of the air cleaner, and check for damage to the electric wiring. • Check that there is no mud or dust accumulated around the movable parts of the accelerator pedal or brake pedal, and check that the pedals work properly.
PRECAUTIONS FOR OPERATION SAFETY • Always wear protective eyeglasses and rubber gloves when starting the engine by using the jumper cables. • When connecting a normal machine to a failed machine with the jumper cables, always use the normal machine with the same battery voltage as the failed machine.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR OPERATION • Prohibit other personnel to get on the machine. • If there are any persons in the area around the machine, there is danger that they may be hit or caught by the ma- chine, and this may lead to serious personal injury or death.
PRECAUTIONS FOR OPERATION SAFETY • If you drive the machine at high speed continuously for a long time, the tires will overheat and the internal pressure will become abnormally high. This may cause the tires to burst. If a tire bursts, it produces a large destructive force, and this may cause serious injury or death.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR OPERATION PRECAUTIONS WHEN OPERATING MACHINE • When using the machine, to prevent serious personal injury or death caused by the work equipment or by the machine tipping over due to overloading, do not use the machine beyond the permitted performance of the machine such as the maximum permitted load for the structure of the machine.
PRECAUTIONS FOR OPERATION SAFETY • Do not dig the work face under an overhangs. There is a danger that the work face will collapse. • When digging, never thrust the bucket into a load at an an- gle. This will bring an excessive load on the machine and will reduce the machine life.
• This machine needs to be divided into components for transportation depending on the regulation. When transporting the machine, consult your Komatsu distributor. • Lock the frame with the frame lock bar to prevent the machine from articulating.

END OF SERVICE LIFE • For safe dismantling of the machine at the end of service life, please contact your Komatsu distributor. STOP ENGINE BEFORE CARRYING OUT INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE If you are caught or pinched between the work equipment during operation, or exposed to high-temperature or high-pressure liquids, it is dangerous and may cause serious personal injury or death.
When performing maintenance work, perform the after- treatment devices regeneration disable according to “HAN- DLE Komatsu Diesel Particulate Filter (KDPF) (3-126)”. • Lower the work equipment to the ground and press work equipment lock switch (1) to lock the work equipment (pilot lamp lights up) and prevent it from moving.
PRECAUTIONS FOR MAINTENANCE SAFETY TURN OFF ECSS SWITCH BEFORE PERFORMING INSPECTION AND MAINTE- NANCE Before starting the inspection and maintenance, lower the bucket to the ground and turn the ECSS switch to OFF position, then stop the engine. Never turn the ECSS switch to ON position during the inspection or maintenance.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR MAINTENANCE USE PROPER TOOLS Use the tools suited to the task and use them correctly. Using damaged, deformed, or low quality tools, or making improper use of the tools may cause serious personal injury or death. PRECAUTIONS FOR CHECK AND MAINTENANCE TURN BATTERY DISCONNECT SWITCH TO OFF POSITION In the following cases, turn the starting switch to OFF position and check that the system operating lamp is off.
PRECAUTIONS FOR MAINTENANCE SAFETY Danger from dilute sulphuric acid When the battery is being charged, flammable hydrogen gas is generated and may explode. In addition, the battery electrolyte includes dilute sulphuric acid. Any mistake in handling may cause serious personal injury, explosion, or fire. Always ob- serve the following.
If the hose or piping mounts are loose or oil or fuel is found to be leaking from the mount, stop operations and tighten to the specified torque. If any damaged or deformed hoses or piping are found, consult your Komatsu distributor. Replace the hose if any of the following problems are found.
• When disposing of the accumulator, the gas must be re- leased. Ask your Komatsu distributor to perform this work. PRECAUTIONS FOR COMPRESSED AIR • When performing cleaning with compressed air, there is a hazard of serious personal injury or death caused by flying dust or particles.
To ensure safety, always observe the following. • Maintenance, disassembly, repair, and assembly of the tires and rims requires special equipment and special tech- nology, so always ask your Komatsu distributor to perform these operations. • Use only specified tires and inflate them to the specified pressure.
PRECAUTIONS FOR MAINTENANCE SAFETY • If the rim parts are not fitted properly when the tire is being pumped up, there is a danger that the rim parts may fly off, so set up a protective fence around the tire, and do not stand directly in front of the rim. Stand beside the tread when pumping up the tire.
