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.

q Safety labels
Safety labels are affixed to the ma chine to infor m t he o pera tor or m aint ena nce w ork er on th e spo t when carr ying out operation or maintenance of the machine that may involve hazard.
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 circle.
FOREWORD
Komatsu cannot predict every circumstance that might involve a potential hazard in operation and maintenance. Therefore, the saf ety messages in th is manual and on the machine may not include all po ssible safety precautions.
If any procedures or actions not specifically recommended or allowed in this manual are used, it is your responsibility to take the necessary steps to ensure safety.
In no event should you engage in prohibited uses or actions described in this manual. The explanations, valu es, and ill ustrati ons in th is man ual were pr epared ba sed on th e lates t infor mation avail able

NOISE LEVELS 1

q The noise plates must always be legible and in good
conditions; for this reason, if they are dirty with dust, oil or grease, it is neces sary to cle an them wit h a soluti on made of water and detergent. Do not use fuel, petrol or solvents.
q If the plates are damaged, ask for new ones to Komatsu or
to your Komatsu distributor.
q In case of replacement of a component provided with a
noise plate, make sure that such a plate is applied also to the new part.
q Sound power level emitted by the machine, measured
according to ISO 6395 (Dynamic test method, simulated working cycle). This is the guara nteed value as specified in Eur opean directive 2000/14/EC. This value includes an uncertainty-of
1.6 dB.
q Sound pressure leve l at the operator’s station, measured
according to ISO6396 (Dyn amic test method , simulated working cycle). The maximum value of the standard deviation of the measured time-a veraged A-weighted emission sound pressure level at the operator’s position is 2.5 dB, in accordance with ISO 11201.

VIBRATIONS TO WHICH THE OPERATOR IS SUBJECTED 1

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.
OPERATING CONDITION 1
Excavating (Digging-loading-rotating-unloading-rotating).
GUIDE TO REDUCE VIBRATION LEVELS ON MACHINE 1
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.

RUNNING-IN 1

All machines have been meticulously adjusted and tested before delivery. However, a new machine must be used with caution during the first 100 hours, for a correct running in of the
different components. If the machine is subjected to excessive work load at the beginning of operation, its potential productivity and its
functionality will be shortly and untimely reduced. For more details, see "Running-in (3-136)".
