SAFETY INFORMATION FOREWORD
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 pr ocedur es.
Example of safety label using words
Part No
Safety labels using pictogram
Safety pictograms use a picture to expre ss 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.
Part No
Komatsu cannot predict every circumstance that might involve a potential hazard in operation and maintena nce. Therefore, the safety messages in this 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, 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 ind icating the machine noise level a re affixed on the 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.

SAFETY INFORMATION FOREWORD

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 acceleration
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.
Operating condition:
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 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, 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
1-6
FOREWORD SAFETY INFORMATION
7. Minimize vibrations for long work cycle or long distance traveling
q Reduce speed to prevent bounce q Transport machines long distances between work sites
8. The following guidelines can be effective to minimize risks of low back pain
q Operate the machine only when you are in good he alt h. 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 adverse ly affect the perf or­mance 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.
