q
Explosion caused by lighting equipment
q
When checking fuel, oil, battery electrolyte, window washer fluid, or coolant, always use lighting with anti-
explosion specifications. If such lighting equipment is not used, there is danger of explosion that may
cause serious injury.
q
When taking the electrical power for the lighting from the machine itself, follow the instructions in this man-
ual.
ACTION IF FIRE OCCURS
If a fire occurs, escape from the machine as follows.
q
Turn the start switch OFF to stop the engine.
q
Use the handrails and steps to get off the machine.
WINDOW WASHER LIQUID
Use an ethyl alcohol base washer liquid.
Methyl alcohol base washer liquid may irritate your eyes, so do not use it.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING ROPS (Roll Over Protective Structure)
ROPS is installed for operations in places such as mines or
quarries where there is danger of falling rocks or in places
where there is danger of the machine tipping over.
q
If ROPS is installed, do not remove it when operating the
machine.
q
ROPS is installed to protect the operator when machine
rolls over. When machine rolls over, ROPS supports its
weight and absorbs its impact energy.
q
If ROPS is modified by welding or drilling holes in it, its
strength may be reduced. If you want to make any modifi-
cation, consult your Komatsu distributor.
q
If ROPS is damaged or deformed by falling objects or by rolling over, its strength will be reduced and it will not
be able to fulfill its function properly. In such cases, always Komatsu contact your distributor for advice of the
method of repair.
Even if ROPS is installed, always fasten your seat belt properly when operating the machine. If you do not use
your fasten your seat belt properly, it cannot display its effect.
q
ROPS proof load is 1126490 N (114870 kg).
In the case of WA900-3E0, this ROPS proof load can be overrun depending on the machine specifications, if a
tire protector (mesh chain type) is fitted to four wheels. For this reason, do not fit a tire protector (mesh chain
type) to the rear wheels.
