Introduction 1.2. Foreword
Please note:
If the owner modifie s saf ety -re late d parts of the m ac hi ne, t he c er­tificate of conformity of the manufacturer will lapse and the person who has performed the modification has to issue a new cer tifi­cate. Should you have any questions concerning this poin t, please do not hesitate to ask Komatsu.
Our continuous effort to improve the machine's design may lead to changes of machine details. Howev er, the introduction of these improvements does not oblige us to perfor m them on machin es which have already been delivered and are already in use.
If these improvements result in minor changes, these minor changes will not be described in the operating instructio ns. Should you require new available information about your machine or have any questions conce rning the information given in the operating instruct ions, please do not he sitate to contact either Komatsu or your responsible Komatsu dealer.
These operating instructions may refer to attachments and spe­cial equipment not avail able from your loca l Komatsu dealer. Should you requ ire attachments or special equip ment, ask your responsible Komatsu dealer.

EU Directives

This machine is l ab ell ed wit h th e CE m ar k in dic ati ng tha t i t me ets all basic requir ements con cernin g safety an d prote ction of he alth of the EU Machinery Directive 89/392/EEC, its supple ments 91/ 368 EEC and 93/44 EEC for Europe, and the regulation 95/27/ EEC. In addition, the harmonised European standards EN 292-2 and EN 474/1 of 1994, and EN 474-3 of 1996 were applied for manufacture of th e machi ne. Th is fact i s docu mented i n the E U Declaration of Conformity (CE) which is supplied together with the machine.
This means that in those cases in which the machine is modified in such a way that safe ty of the m achine i s affected, the p erson responsible for safety of the machine is the one who has arranged for the machine to be modified. If you use the machine for any other purpose t han that de fined as c orrect use , you are the person who has to ens ur e t hat s afe ty is mai ntaine d. Mo dif ic a­tions of the mach ine or u se of the mac hine for a ny oth er purpo se than that specified as correct use may require a new CE mark and thus new issuing of an EU Declaration of Conformity.
If a machine is used in oth er countries than Germany, it may be possible that special national safety devices and specifications are missing which may be requ ired for the ap plicati on in the rel e­vant country. For example, for Komatsu machines, the manufac­turer has to design the cab roof in such a way that a warning beacon can be attached to the roof. However, when driving the machine on roads, this warning beacon must be covered.
Should you hav e any questi ons conce rnin g standar ds and g uid e­lines in the respective country the machine is to be used in, please ask your Komatsu dealer before you start commissioning the machine.

1.4.1. Intended use

This loader is a machine with independent transmission, moving on wheels. Driving in for ward di rection , the lo ader can lo ad or dig material using its attachments intended for loading operations (i.e. bucket).
The standard operation cycle of a loader includes filling up and loading of the bucket, transporting the material and emptying the bucket.
In combination with the forklift truck attachment the picking up, transporting and putting down of stacked material is also considered to be part of the machine’s intended use.
If you use the machine for any other purpose than specified above, we will not accept any responsibility for safety. All considerations concerning safety will then be up to the owner or the operating and maintenance personnel. In any case, neither you nor any other person are/is authorised to perform work and functions explicitly prohibited in these operating instructions.

1.4. Introduction Introduction

1.4.2. Breaking-in the machine

Before the shipment, each machine was carefully checked and adjusted. A machine that is to be newly commissioned has to be treated with utmost care during its first 100 operating hours.
If the machine is used for work involving loads exceeding the specified maximum load for the running-in period, its performance may be impaired prematurely and its service life may be short­ened. A new machine must be run i n and maintained very c are­fully and thoroughly.
The following points are particularly important:
Idle the engine for 5 minutes after starting it up.
Avoid operation with heavy loads or at high speeds.
Avoid sudden starts, sudden acceleration, sudden steering
und sudden stops except in cases of emergency.
The precautions given i n this manu al for opera ting, m ainten ance, and safety procedures are only those that apply when this product is used for the specified purpose. If the machine is used for a pur­pose that is not listed in this manual Komatsu cannot bear any responsibility for safety. All consideration of safety in such opera ­tions is the responsibility of the user.
Operations that are prohibited in this manual must never be car­ried out under any circumstances.

Introduction 1.10. CE-conforming equipment

1.10.3. Manufacturer-supplied CE-conforming equipment.

The responsibility for observing valid regulations in the case of wheel loaders with "int erchangeabl e equipment" (e.g. bucket or fork-lift) which was not supplied from works lies with the customer which was subsequently fitted to the machine.
The guidelines for C E Con formity and road- traffic reg istrati on a re deemed to have been fulfilled when the manufacturer of the equipment confirms fulfilment.
The certification must be sent to the customer and the wheel loader manufactur er. The CE co nformi ty d ec larat ion fo r a s pecific wheel loader is only legally valid once this has taken place.
The dimensio ns X1, X2, Y1 and Y2 must be provid ed by the manufacturer of the equipment for approval for use on public roads.
The dimension Sh (sm allest tyre radi us) must be add ed to the dimension D2.
The figure G (in k g) represents the m aximum load (e quipment and operating load) which may act upon this point.
