Attachment for protection against falling objects (FOPS)
When you work on a site where there is danger of falling rocks
or other objects, the machines must be equipped with a FOPS. If
the FOPS is modified without permission or damaged, its stabil-
ity is impaired. In this case, the FOPS must be replaced, since
its correct function can no longer be guaranteed.
Precautions for attachments, options
z
When installing optional parts or attachments, there may be
problems with safety or legal restrictions. Therefore contact
your KOMATSU distributor for advice.
z
Any injuries, accidents, or product failures resulting from the
use of unauthorized attachments or parts will not be the
responsibility of KOMATSU.
z
When installing and using optional attachments, read the
instruction manual for the attachment, and the general infor-
mation related to attachments in this manual.
Unauthorized modification
If this machine is modified without permission from KOMATSU,
there is danger that problems may occur with safety and that this
may lead to serious personal injury. Modifications may have an
adverse effect on items such as machine strength and visibility.
Before making a modification, consult your KOMATSU distribu-
tor.
KOMATSU will not be responsible for any injuries, accidents,
product failures or other property damages resulting from modifi-
cations made without authorization from KOMATSU.
Safety at worksite
z
Before starting operations, thoroughly check the work area
for dangerous working conditions.
z
Inspect the surface of the soil in the working area and deter-
mine the optimum and safest procedure.
z
When carrying out operations near combustible materials
such as thatched roofs, dry leaves or dry grass, there is a
hazard of fire, so be careful when operating.
z
Determine the required safety measures against dangers on
public roads in co-operation with the owners, users, and
responsible authorities.
z
On sites where there are underground water pipes, gas
pipes, or conduits for high voltage cables, contact the
responsible supply company to determine the lines’ posi-
tions. Ensure that these facilities will not be damaged.
z
When working with water or crossing sand banks, first check
the subsoil and depth and flow rate of the water. Ensure that
the permitted water depth will not be exceeded.
