To enable you to use this machine safely, safety precautions and labels are given in this manual and affixed to the
machine to give explanations of situations involving potential hazards and of the methods of avoiding such situa­tions.

Signal words

The following signal words are used to inform you that there is a potential hazardous situation that may lead to per­sonal injury or damage.

In this manual and on machine labels, the following signal words are used to express the potential level of hazard.

Example of safety message using signal word

WARNING

When standing up from the operator's seat, always place the lock lever in the LOCK position.
If you accidentally touch the control levers when they are no t locked, this may cau se a serious injury or
death.

Other signal words

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or
serious injury.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or
moderate injury . This word is used also to alert against unsafe practices that may cause
property damage.

NOTICE

This word is used for precautions that must be taken to avoid actions which could shorten
the life of the machine.

q Safety labels

Safety labels are affixed to the machine to inform the operator or maintenance worker on the spot when carrying
out operation or maintenance of the machine that may involve hazard.

This machine uses “Safety labels using words“ and “Safety labels using pictograms“ to indicate safety proced ures.

Safety labels using pictogram

Safety pictograms use a picture to express 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 avoiding the hazardous con­dition at the bottom or right side. In addition, the type of haz­ardous condition is displayed inside a triangle and the method
of avoiding the hazardous condition is shown inside a circle.

Komatsu cannot predict every circumstance that might involve a potential hazard in operation and maintenance.
Therefore, the safety messages in this manual and on the machine may not include all possible 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, values, and illustrations in this manual were prepared based on the latest information available

at that time. Continuing improvements in the design of this machine can lead to changes in detail which may not
be reflected in this manual. Consult Komatsu or your Komatsu distributor for the latest available information of
your machine or for questions regarding information in this manual.

The numbers in circles in the illustrations correspond to the numbers in ( ) in the text. (For example: 1 J (1))

Noise emission levels 1

Two labels indi cating the ma chine noise level are af fixed on th e
machine.

q Sound pressure level at the operator’s station, measured

according to ISO6396 (Dynamic test method, simulated
working cycle).

q Sound power level emitted by the machine, measured

according to ISO 6395 (Dynamic test method, simulated
working cycle). This is the guaranteed value as specified
in European directive 2000/14/EC.

Vibration levels 1

When used for its intended purpose, levels of vibration for the earth-moving machine transmitted from the opera­tor’s seat are lower than or equal to the tested vibrations for the relative machinery class in compliance with ISO

7096.
The actual acceleration value for the hands and arms is less than or equal to 2.5 m/s². The actual acceleratio n

value for the body is less than or equal to 0.5 m/s².
These values were determined using a representative machine and measured during the typical operating condi-

tion indicated below according to the measurement procedures that are defined in the standards ISO 2631/1 and
ISO 5349.

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 Tire pressures (for wheeled machines), 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 traveling 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 con-

ditions.

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, shift gears (for wheeled machines), 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 traveling path as large as possible.
q Travel at low speed when traveling around sharp curves.

7. Minimize vibrations for long work cycle or long distance traveling.

q Reduce speed to prevent bounce.
q Transport machine s long distances between worksheets.

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.

BREAKING-IN THE NEW MACHINE 1

NOTICE
Your Komatsu machine has been thoroughly adjusted and tested before shipment from the factory. How­ever, ope rating the machine under full load before bre aking the machine in can adversely affect the perfor­mance and shorten the machine life.
Be sure to break in the machine for the initial 100 hours (as indicated on the service meter).

Make sure that you fully understand the content of this manual, and pay careful attention to the following points
when breaking in the machine.

q Run the engine at idle for 15 seconds after starting it. During this time, do not operate the control levers or fuel

control dial.

q Idle the engine for 5 minutes after starting it up.
q Avoid operation with heavy loads or at high speeds.
q Immediately after starting the engine, avoid sudden starts, sudden acceleration, unnecessary sudden stops,

and sudden changes in direction.
