Why You Should Read these Operating

Instructions
The machine must be operated, cleaned, and maintained very carefully
to ensure safe and troublefree operation. If you operate the machine
correctly, these operating instructions will help you to avoid injuries and
damage to property. To ensure this, these operating instructions take
into account all applicable legal regulations and directives; the operating
instructions comprise the following information:
• Notes on the Operating Instructions
• Notes on Transport
• Notes on Safety Regulations
• Operating Instructions
• Troubleshooting
• Maintenance Instructions
• Technical Data
• Notes on Lubricants and Operating Agents

The operating instructions are part of the machine and must always be
available at hand in the machine. If the operating instructions have been
lost or if they have become unreadable, because they are dirty, you may
receive a new copy from Komatsu or your local Komatsu dealer. If the
machine is resold, the operating instructions, the EU Declaration of
Conformity (CE), and the licence are to be handed over to the new owner.

The owner of the machine has to ensure that

• all persons driving the machine have the legally required
minimum age and are physically and mentally fit to perform the
tasks they are charged with.
• all persons in charge with operating or maintaining the machine
are appropriately instructed before operation or maintenance
is started. They must have completely read and understood
these operating instructions. In particular, this applies to the
following section "Notes on Safety Regulations" and the chapter
"Safety".
• all persons driving the machine have read the accompanying
leaflet "Notes on Operation of Komatsu Construction Mach-
ines in Public Traffic" - applying to operation of construction
machines with a speed of more than 20 km/h on German public
roads.
• the machine is correctly operated.
• the machine is not improperly modified.

Please note:
If the owner modifies safety-related parts of the machine, the certificate
of conformity of the manufacturer will lapse and the person who has
performed the modification has to issue a new certificate. Should you
have any questions concerning this point, please do not hesitate to ask
Komatsu.

Information on these Operating Instructions

Our continuous effort to improve the machine's design may lead to

changes of machine details. However, the introduction of these
improvements does not oblige us to perform them on machines 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 instructions. Should you require new
available information about your machine or have any questions
concerning the information given in the operating instructions, please do
not hesitate to contact either Komatsu or your responsible Komatsu dealer.

These operating instructions may refer to attachments and special

equipment not available from your local Komatsu dealer. Should you
require attachments or special equipment, ask your responsible Komatsu
dealer.

Notes on Safety Regulations

The procedures and precautionary measures concerning operation and
maintenance only apply on the provision that the machine is used as
intended.

Correct Use
A loader is a machine which has its own drive and which is moving on
either tracks or wheels. By moving in forward direction, a loader can load
material or cut the ground with the work unit (use of bucket) provided for
loading which is attached to its front.

The standard working cycle of a loader comprises filling and lifting the
loading bucket, transporting material, and emptying the loading bucket.

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.

Safety Notes in the Operating Instructions

Most accidents are caused by disregard of basic safety regulations during
operation and maintenance of machines. In order to avoid accidents and
thus damage to persons and property, read all applicable safety notes
and warnings in these operating instructions and on the machine, before
you start operation or maintenance of the machine and always adhere to
these safety notes and warnings.
