In heavy engineering projects such as earthwork, road maintenance and mining operations, Komatsu graders are widely used in various engineering projects due to their excellent leveling ability and durability. Whether it is a new machine or a second-hand grader, safe operation is always the top priority. This article will focus on the safety points in the operation of Komatsu graders, from equipment inspection, driving operation, daily maintenance to common accident prevention, etc., to provide a comprehensive analysis to help operators and project managers improve their safety awareness in operations.

If you need to buy or wholesale high-quality second-hand excavators or Komatsu graders, please contact Jiecheng second-hand excavator supplier, email: guo@machbro.com, official website: https://www.machbro.com.

Inspection and preparation before operation

Check the engine and hydraulic system

Engine oil check: confirm whether the oil level is within the normal range to avoid dry burning.

Hydraulic oil and brake oil: check whether the hydraulic oil tank and brake oil tank are leaking and whether the oil quality is deteriorating.

Cooling system: ensure that there is sufficient coolant in the radiator tank to prevent high temperature.

Check tires and brake system

Tire pressure and damage inspection: including tire wear, bulges and cracks.

Brake function test: Before starting, press the brake to confirm whether there is resistance and normal response.

Check the control panel and alarm device

Dashboard function inspection: Confirm that various indicator lights and alarm sounds are working properly.

Electrical circuit safety: Confirm that lights, horns, reversing alarms, etc. are all available.

Environment and safety protection assessment

Work area inspection: Check obstacles, wires, and crowded areas.

Wear protective equipment: such as safety helmets, safety shoes, reflective clothing, etc.

Key points for Komatsu grader operation

Correct starting process

Before entering the cab, sound the horn to warn;

Insert the key, release the parking brake, press the brake, and then start the ignition;

After starting, preheat for 3-5 minutes and observe whether the instrument is abnormal.

Leveling operation specifications

Master the steering skills of the front and rear frames: Komatsu graders use articulated steering, and you must be familiar with its steering radius and operation delay;

Adjust the blade angle and downforce: Make fine adjustments according to the operation requirements to avoid blade slippage or cutting too deep;

Keep the operation route straight: Set a reference point to avoid serpentine movement.

Warning of dangerous operation behavior

No high-speed turning: It is easy to cause rollover;

No gear shifting or reverse on the slope;

Fatigue driving and drunk operation are strictly prohibited.

Komatsu grader maintenance and care

Routine inspection after daily operation

Clean the dirt attached to the blade to prevent rust;

Check whether the hydraulic oil has been significantly reduced;

Check whether the lights and reverse buzzer are working properly.

Periodic maintenance items

Item

Whether the main components (engine, gearbox) have been replaced;

Require the supplier to issue maintenance and repair records.

Common faults and safety accident prevention

Common operating faults of graders

Hydraulic system heating: mostly due to insufficient oil or oil deterioration;

Unstable direction: mostly due to loose steering hinge pin or lack of oil;

Engine weakness: may be caused by blockage of the intake filter or carbon deposits on the fuel injector.

Analysis of typical accidents and preventive measures

Rollover accidents: often occur on slopes or sharp turns, and the speed must be controlled and the terrain must be assessed in advance;

Mechanical clamping accidents: the equipment must be turned off when getting on and off the vehicle to avoid accidentally touching the handle and causing the blade to move;

Blind spots causing collisions: it is recommended to install auxiliary cameras and reversing radars.

Operation training and system construction

Regularly organize operator training and assessments;

Establish equipment use registration and handover system;

Emergency response plan: such as mechanical fire, hydraulic pipe burst, rollover rescue, etc.
