General precautions k If the machine is handled incorrectly, it is dangerous.
Read and understand what is described in the operation and maintenance manual before operation. Read and understand what is described in this manual before operation. Read and understand the meaning of all the safety labels stuck to the machine before performing any greasing or repairs. For the locations of the safety labels and detailed explanation of precautions, see Operation and Maintenance Manual.
Tools and removed parts in the workshop should be well organized. Always keep the tools and parts in their correct places. Always keep the work area clean and make sure that there is no dust, dirt, oil, or water on the floor. Smoke only in the designated areas. Never smoke while working.
Keep all tools in good condition, learn the correct way to use them, and use the proper ones. Check the tools, machine, forklift truck, service car, etc. thoroughly before starting the work.
Always wear safety shoes and helmet when performing any operation. Do not wear loose clothes, or clothes with buttons missing.
Always wear the protective eyeglasses when hitting parts with a hammer.
Always wear the protective eyeglasses when grinding parts with a grinder, etc.
When performing any operation with multiple workers, always agree on the operating procedure before starting. Be clear in verbal communication and observe hand signals. Hang "UNDER REPAIR" warning tag in the operator's compartment Before starting work.
Work and operation which require license or qualification should be performed by qualified workers.
Welding repairs should be performed by trained and experienced welders. When performing welding work, always wear welding gloves, apron, welding goggles, cap and other clothes suited for welding work.
Warm up before starting the work with exercise which increases alertness and the range of motion in order to prevent injury.
Avoid prolonged work and take a rest at times to keep up a good condition. Take a rest at designated safe area.

Precautions for preparatory work
Place the machine on a firm and level ground and apply the parking brake and chock the wheels or tracks to prevent the machine from moving before adding oil or making any repairs.
Lower the work equipment (blade, ripper, bucket, etc.) to the ground before starting work. If this is not possible, insert the lock pin or use blocks to prevent the work equipment from falling. In addition, be sure to lock all the control levers and hang "UNDER REPAIR" warning tag on them.
When performing the disassembling or assembling work, support the machine securely with blocks, jacks, or stands before starting the work.
Remove all mud and oil from the steps or other places for going up and down on the machine. Always use the handrails, ladders or steps when for going up and down on the machine. Never jump on or off the machine. When the scaffold is not provided, use steps or stepladder to secure your footing. Do not use handrails, ladders, or steps if they are damaged or deformed. Repair it or replace it immediately.
Precautions during work
For the machine with the battery disconnect switch, check before starting the work that the system operating lamp is not lit. Then, turn the battery disconnect switch to OFF ( ) position REMARK Remove the key after it is turned to OFF ( ) position if the battery disconnect switch is a switch key type. For the machine without the battery disconnect switch, turn the starting switch to OFF position, wait for two minutes or more before starting the work. Disconnect the battery cable by starting from the negative (-) terminal first.
For the machine with the quick release battery terminal (-), check before starting the work that the system operating lamp is not lit. Then, disconnect the quick release battery terminal (-). REMARK For the machine without the system operating lamp, turn the starting switch to OFF position, wait for two minutes or more before starting the work. Disconnect the quick release battery terminal (-).
Release the remaining pressure from the circuit before starting the work of disconnecting and removing of oil, fuel, water, or air from the circuit. When removing the cap of oil filter, drain plug, or oil pressure plug, it should be done slowly otherwise the oil spills.
KOMATSU
00-13
FOREWORD, SAFETY, BASIC INFORMATION
When removing or installing the checking plug or the piping in the fuel circuit, wait 30 seconds or longer after the engine is shut down and start the work after the remaining pressure is released from the fuel circuit.
The coolant and oil in the circuits are hot when the engine is shut down. Be careful not to get scalded. Wait for the oil and coolant to cool before performing any work on the oil or coolant circuits.
Before starting work, shut down the engine. When working on or around a rotating part, in particular, shut down the engine. When checking the machine without shutting down the engine (measuring oil pressure, revolving speed, temperature, etc.), take extreme care not to get caught in rotating parts or moving parts.
When raising a heavy component (heavier than 25 kg), use a hoist or crane. Before starting work, check that the slings (wire ropes, webbing slings, chains, and hooks) are free from damage. Always use slings which have ample capacity and install them to proper places. Operate the hoist or crane slowly to prevent the component from hitting any other part. Do not work with any part still raised by the hoist or crane.
When removing a part which is under internal pressure or under reaction force of a spring, always leave 2 bolts in diagonal positions. Loosen those 2 bolts gradually and alternately to release the pressure, and then remove the part.
When removing components, do not break or damage the electrical wiring. Damaged wiring may cause a fire.
When removing piping, do not spill the fuel or oil. If any fuel or oil drips onto the floor, wipe it off immediately. Fuel or oil on the floor can cause you to slip and can even cause fires.
Do not use gasoline to wash parts as a general rule. Do not use gasoline to clean electrical parts, in particular
