•
Before starting the engine, thoroughly check the area for any
unusual condition of the ground due to which work may be dan-
gerous.
•
Check the conditions of the ground at the work site and before
starting the engine define the work plan and the best and safest
operating procedure.
•
Make the ground surface as level as possible before carrying
out any operation.
•
In case of work on the road, protect pedestrians and cars by
designating a person for work site traffic duty and install fences
around the work site.
•
If water lines, gas lines, and telephone or high-voltage electrical
lines are located under the work site, contact the relevant utility
company in order to find out their exact positions or to make
them inneffective until the end of the operations. Be careful not
to sever or damage any of these lines.
•
Check the depth and flow of water before operating in water or
on river banks.

•
Carefully remove all wood chips, rubbish, paper and other flam-
mable materials that may have accumulated inside the engine
compartment, since they can cause fires.
•
Check the fuel and hydraulic system pipes for leaks and if nec-
essary repair them. Wipe up any leakage of oil, fuel or other
flammable fluids.
•
Make sure that fire extinguishers are available in the work area.
•
Do not keep objects or tools in the operator’s cab. They may hinder the operation of the controls and cause seri-
ous accidents.
•
Keep the cab floor and the controls (pedals and levers) clean, by removing any trace of oil and grease and, as far
as the floor is concerned, remove any excess dirt (earth, stones, etc.).
•
Check the safety belt and change it if it is broken or damaged.
Replace any component only with homologated parts available at Komatsu Utility or its Dealers.
