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.

 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.
Always consult the Material Safety
Data Sheet for chemical hazards and
first aid instructions. These sheets
should be available from the
manufacturer/ supplier of the fluid.
Personal injury can result
from slips or falls. DO NOT
leave tools or components
laying around the work area
and clean up all spilled fluids immediately.
Check hydraulic oil lines,
tubes, and hoses carefully.
DO NOT use your bare hand
to check for potential leaks.
Always use a board or cardboard when
checking for a leak. Escaping hydraulic fluid
under pressure, even a pinhole size leak, can
penetrate body tissue, causing serious injury,
and possible death. If fluid is injected into your
skin, it must be treated immediately by a doctor
familiar with this type of injury.

To avoid eye injury, always Contact with hot oil and

wear protective glasses or
face shield when using any
equipment, a hammer, or
similar tool. Chips or other debris can fly off
equipment under pressure or objects when
struck. Make sure no one can be injured by
flying debris before applying pressure or
striking any object.
components can result in
severe burns. DO NOT allow
any hot oil or components to
contact the skin. Before opening a hydraulic
tank make sure all pressure is relieved.

Always wear protective

clothing while operating any
machines or equipment. DO
NOT wear any loose
clothing, jewelry, watches, or anything else that
might catch on controls, tooling, side bars, or
any part of the equipment.

To prevent personal injury,

keep fingers and loose
clothing away from any
moving parts or pinch points
to prevent pinching and crushing.

To prevent personal injury, make sure

all protective guards and covers are
in place and secured before
operating any equipment.
