Important Safety Information
Work safely. 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. This person must also have the necessary
training, skills, and tools to perform these functions properly.
Safety precautions and warnings are provided in this instruction and on the product. If
these hazard warnings are not heeded, bodily injury or death could occur to you or to
other persons.
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. You must not use this product in any manner different from that
considered by this manual without first satisfying yourself that you have considered
all safety rules and precautions applicable to the operation of the product in the
location of use, including site-specific rules and precautions applicable to the
worksite. If a tool, procedure, work method or operating technique that is not
specifically recommended by Caterpillar is used, you must satisfy yourself that it is
safe for you and for others. You should also ensure that you are authorized to perform
this work, and that the product will not be damaged or become unsafe by the
operation, lubrication, maintenance or repair procedures that you intend to use. The
information, specifications, and illustrations in this publication are on the basis of
information that was available at the time that the publication was written. The
specifications, torques, pressures, measurements, adjustments, illustrations, and other
items can change at any time. These changes can affect the service that is given to the
product. Obtain the complete and most current information before you start any job.
Cat dealers have the most current information available.
