PRECAUTIONS WHEN GETTING ON OR OFF MACHINE
USE HANDRAILS AND STEPS WHEN GETTING ON OR OFF MACHINE
To prevent personal injury caused by slipping or falling off the machine, always observe the following.
• Use the handrails and steps indicated by arrow A in the
figure when getting on or off the machine.
Use the handrails and steps indicated by arrow B only
when moving along the top of the track or when checking
or performing maintenance inside the side cover, or when
filling the tank with oil. Never use them when getting on or
off the machine.

• Always face the machine and maintain at least three-point
contact (both feet and one hand, or both hands and one
foot) with the handrails and steps to ensure that you sup-
port yourself.
• Before getting on and off the machine, check the handrails
and steps if there is any oil, grease, or mud on them. Wipe
it off immediately not to slip if any. In addition, tighten any
loose bolt of the handrails and steps.
If the handrails and steps are damaged or deformed, they
need to be repaired immediately. Ask your Komatsu dis-
tributor to perform this work.
• Do not grip the control levers, parking brake lever, or work equipment lock lever when getting on or off the
machine.
• Never climb on the engine hood or covers where there are no non-slip pads.
• Do not get on or off the machine with tools in your hand.
