Safety
To avoid personal injury or death,
carefully read and understand all
instructions before attempting to
operate any equipment. Do not
operate or work on a machine unless you read
and understand the instructions and warnings
in this and all other applicable manuals.
Contact your Caterpillar dealer for replacement
manuals. Proper care is your responsibility.
Always follow all State and Federal health and
safety laws and/or local regulations.

Most accidents involving product

operation, maintenance, and repair
occur through failure to observe basic
safety rules or operations. An
accident can often be avoided by being alert
and recognizing potentially hazardous
situations before an accident occurs. Any
individuals performing product operation,
maintenance, or repair should have necessary
training, skills, and tools required to perform the
functions properly and safely. The safety
information in this manual serves as a basic
guide in an attempt to prevent injury or death.

Caterpillar cannot anticipate every possible

circumstance that might involve a potential
hazard. The warnings in this publication and on
the product are, therefore, not all inclusive. If a
tool, procedure, work method, or operating
technique that is not specifically mentioned by
Caterpillar is used, you must satisfy yourself
that it is safe for you and for others. Make sure
the product or machine will not be damaged or
be made unsafe by any operation, lubrication,
maintenance, or repair procedures that you
choose.

If any doubt arises about the correct, safe

method of performing any steps of these
procedures, DO NOT proceed. Seek out expert
assistance from a qualified person.
