• When leaving the machine, lock the work equipment by
pressing the work equipment lock switch (1) (pilot lamp
lights up). Move the parking brake switch (2) to ON (ac-
tuate) position (A) with brake pedal depressed, check that
the machine is stopped completely, and stop the engine.
• If the operator's seat is positioned forward, your body or
clothes will easily touch the levers. Shift it backward to
keep enough space, and then get off the machine.
• Always close the operator's cab door, and use the key to
lock all the equipment in order to prevent any unauthorized
person from operating the machine. Always remove the
key, take it with you, and keep it in the specified place.
• If it is necessary to park the machine on a slope, set
blocks under the tires to prevent the machine from moving.
PRECAUTIONS FOR TRANSPORTATION
When the machine is transported on a trailer, serious personal injury or death may result because of the acci-
dent during transportation. Always observe the following.
• Always check the machine dimensions carefully. Depending on the work equipment installed, the machine
weight, transportation height, and overall length differ.
• Check beforehand that all bridges and other structures on the transportation route are strong enough to
withstand the combined weight of the transporter and the machine being transported.
• 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.
• Fit chains to the front frame and the rear frame to hold the machine securely in position.
• For details of the transportation procedure, see “TRANSPORTATION (3-232)”.
