Important Safety Information
Most accidents that involve product operation, maintenance and repair are caused by failure to observe basic
safety rules or precautions. An accident can often be avoided by recognizing potentially hazardous situations
before an accident occurs. A person must be alert to potential hazards, including human factors that can affect
safety. This person should also have the necessary training, skills and tools to perform these functions properly.
Safety precautions and warnings are provided in this manual and on the product. If these hazard warnings are not
heeded, bodily injury or death could occur to you or to other persons. The hazards are identified by the “Safety
Alert Symbol” and followed by a “Signal Word” such as “DANGER”, “WARNING” or “CAUTION”.
Caterpillar cannot anticipate every possible circumstance that might involve a potential hazard. The warnings in this

specifically recommended by Caterpillar is used, you must satisfy yourself that it is safe for you and for others. You
