TROUBLES AND ACTIONS
ACTIONS WHEN RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
When starting the engine again after running out of fuel, fill with fuel until the fuel level caution lamp on the ma-
chine monitor goes off and bleed the air from the fuel system before stating.
Always check the fuel level to prevent running out of fuel.
If the engine has stopped because of running out of fuel, all air must be bled from the fuel circuit by using pri-
ming pump.
For the procedure to bleed air, see “METHOD FOR BLEEDING AIR FROM FUEL CIRCUIT (4-42)”.
PRECAUTIONS FOR TOWING MACHINE

WARNING
Always use the correct towing equipment and towing
method. Any mistake in the selection of the wire rope or
drawbar or the method of towing a disabled machine and
being towed may lead to serious personal injury or death.
• If the engine does not start, put blocks under the track
to prevent the machine from moving, then release the
brake. If blocks are not used, there is a danger that the
machine may move suddenly.
• Always confirm that the wire rope or drawbar used for
towing has ample strength for the weight of the ma-
chine being towed.
• Never use the wire rope which has cut strands (A), re-
duced diameter (B), or kinks (C). There is a danger that
the rope may break during the towing operation.
• Always wear leather gloves when handling the wire
rope.
• Never tow a machine on a slope.
• During the towing operation, never stand between the
towing machine and the machine being towed.
• Move the machine slowly.
Do not apply a sudden load to the wire rope.
NOTICE
The maximum towing capacity for this machine is 294000 N {30000 kg} .
Do not tow any load greater than this.
For details of the method of towing, contact your Komatsu distributor.
• If the engine stops or the oil pressure in the brake circuit lowers because of a trouble in the hydraulic sys-
tem, the brake works and the machine cannot move. To move the machine in this case, the oil pressure in
the brake circuit must be heightened to the specified level with a special device. Contact your Komatsu dis-
tributor.
• Moving a machine by towing is only used to move it to a place where it is possible to perform inspection
and maintenance.
Do not tow it a long distance.
• If it is impossible to operate the steering and brakes of the machine being towed, do not let anyone ride on
the machine.
• Keep the angle of the towing line to the minimum. Operate the machine so that the angle does not become
greater than 30 ° from the straight line.
