q This manual has been compiled by Komatsu S.p.A. in order to supply customers with all the necessary
information on the machine and on safety regulations, as well as the use and maintenance instructions that
enable the operator to ex ploit the capacity of th e machine with opti mal results and to keep the machine
efficient over time.
q The operation ma nual, together with the spare parts catalogue, is an integr al part of the machine a nd must
accompany it, even when it is resold, until its final disposal.
q The illustrations contained in this manual may represent machine configurations available on request.
Komatsu machines are constantly imp roved in order to i ncrease th eir efficiency an d reliabil ity; this man ual
sums up all the information regarding the most recent technology applied at the moment in which the machine
is launched.
For any further and/or updated information, contact your Komatsu distributor.
q Punctual periodic annotations regarding the maintenance operations that have been carried out are important,
since they provide a clear report on the situation and say exactly what has been done and what has to be done
after the next maintenance interval. Therefore, it is advisable to consult both the hour meter and the
maintenance plan frequently.
q Komatsu distributor have g athered a consid erable amount of expe rience over year s of work in clos e contact
with the users.
If more information is needed, do not hesitate to contact your Komatsu distributor: he always knows how to get
the best performance from the machine, he can recommend the equipment that is most suitable for specific
needs and can provide the technical assistance necessary for any change that may be required to conform the
machine to safety standards rules.
Komatsu distributo r also provide assistance for the supply of origi nal Komatsu spare parts, whic h alone
guarantee safety and interchangeability.
q The table included in this manual must be filled in with the machine data, which are also the data that must be
communicated to the distributor when requiring assistance and ordering spare parts.
Before beginning operation or maintenance, operators and maintenance personnel must always observe
the following points.
Read this manual thoroughly and understand its contents fully.
Read the safety messages and safety labels given in thi s manual carefully so that they should be

SAFETY INFORMATION1
Many accidents are caused by i nsufficient kn owledge of an d failure to comply w ith the safety regulations
prescribed for the maintenance operations that must be performed on the machine.
In order to avoid accidents, before starting work and before carrying out any maintenance operation, carefully read
and be sure to understand all the information and warnings contained in this manual and given on the plates
applied onto the m achin e. To enable the operator to use thi s machin e safel y, safety precautions ar e explai ned in
this manual and labels and warning plates are affixed to the machine to highlight situations involving potential
hazards and suggest how to avoid them.
Komatsu machines are manu facture d and sold accord ing to the rul es or s tandards of the countries whe re they
have to work. If the machines have to work in other countries, it is necessary to check that every safety devices
and technical specifications are in compliance with the regulations in force; for this reason, ask Komatsu distributor
before using the machine.

personal injury or damage to property.
In this manual, on the labels and on the plates, the following words are used to express the potential level of the
hazard.
Indicates a situation of imminent danger that, if not avoided, may cause serious injury and even death. The use of
this term must be limited to situations of extreme danger.
Indicates a situation of potential danger that, if not avoided, may cause serious injury and even death.
Indicates a situation of potential danger that, if not avoided, may cause m oderate in jury. This term can also be
used as a warning against dangerous interventions.
Other terms used in the signs
In addition to those indicated above, the following warning terms are used to recommend the precautions to be
taken to protect the machine or to supply useful information.

Before starting any maintenance operation, position the machine on a firm and level surface, lower the
equipment to the ground, engage the safety locks of the equipment and the controls, and stop the engine.
To make the information clearer, some illustrations in this manual represent the machine without safety
guards. Do not use the machine without guards and do not start the engine when t he hood is ope n, unless
this is expressly prescribed for certain maintenance operations.
It is strictly forbidden to modify the setting of the hy draulic system safety valves ; Komat su cannot be held
liable for any damage to persons, property or the machine, if this has been tampered with by modifying
the standard settings of the hydraulic system.
SAFETY INFORMATION
Before carrying out any electric welding, disconnect the battery and the alternator. (See "PRECAUTIONS
CONCERNING THE BATTERY AND THE ALTERNATOR (2-58)").
Install only optional tools or tools especially recommended and approved by Komatsu and that meet the
requirements included in section "EQUIPMENT CONFIGURATION (6-5)"
It is absolutely forbidden to operate the machine while standing on the ground.
Every single manoeuvre must be carried out by the operator, correctly seated in driving position.

This machine uses "Safety labels using pictograms" to indicate safety procedures.
Safety labels using pictogram
Safety pictogra ms use a picture to expres s a level of
hazardous condition equivalent to the signal word. These
safety pictograms use pictures in order to let the operator or
maintenance worker understand the level and type of
hazardous condition at all times.
Safety pictograms show the type of hazardous condition at the
top or left side, and the method of avoidin g the hazardous
condition at the botto m or right side. In addition, t he type of
hazardous condition is displayed inside a triangle and the
method of avoidi ng the haza rdous con dition is shown ins ide a

VIBRATIONS TO WHICH THE OPERATOR IS SUBJECTED1
When the earth moving machine is used for its intended purpose, the vibration levels transmitted from the
operator's seat are le ss than or equa l to the vi brati on test ed on the r elated class of mac hinery i n acco rdanc e with
ISO7096.
The actual acceleration value for the hands and arms is less than or equal to 2.5 m/s², the factor of uncertainty for
this vibration value is 1.2 m/s² according EN 12096: 1997.
The actual acceler ation value for the body is less than or equal t o 0.5 m/s², the factor of uncertainty for this
vibration value is 0.2 m/s² according EN 12096: 1997.
These values were determined using a representative machine and measured during the typical operating
condition indicated below according to the measurement procedures that are defined in the standards ISO 2631/1
and ISO 5349.
The following guides can help an operator of this machine to reduce the whole body vibration levels:
1. Use the correct equipment and attachments.
2. Maintain the machine according to this manual.
Q Tension of crawler (for crawler machines).
Q Brake and steering systems.
Q Controls, hydraulic system and linkages.
3. Keep the terrain where the machine is working and travelling in good condition.
Q Remove any large rocks or obstacles.
Q Fill any ditches and holes.
Q Site manager should provide machine operators with machine and schedule time to maintain terrain
conditions.
4. Use a seat that meets ISO 7096 and keep the seat maintained and adjusted.
Q Adjust the seat and suspension for the weight and size of the operator.
Q Wear seat belt.
Q Inspect and maintain the seat suspension and adjustment mechanisms.
5. Steer, brake, accelerate, and move the attachment levers and pedals slowly so that the machine moves
smoothly.
6. Adjust the machine speed and travel path to minimize the vibration level.
Q When pushing with bucket or blade, avoid sudden loading; load gradually.
Q Drive around obstacles and rough terrain conditions.
Q Slow down when it is necessary to go over rough terrain.
Q Make the curve radius of travelling path as large as possible.
Q Travel at low speed when travelling around sharp curves.

7. Minimize vibrations for long work cycle or long distance travelling.
Q Reduce speed to prevent bounce.
Q Transport machines long distances between worksites.
8. The following guidelines can be effective to minimize risks of low back pain.
Q Operate the machine only when you are in good health.
Q Provide breaks to reduce long periods of sitting in the same posture.
Q Do not jump down from the cab or machine.
Q Do not repeatedly handle and lift loads.
