Improper jumper cable connections can cause an explosion resulting in personal injury.Batteries may be located in separate compartments. When using jumper cables, always connect positive (+) cable to positive (+) terminal of battery connected to starter solenoid and negative (-) cable from external source to starter negative (-) terminal (if machine not equipped with starter negative terminal, connect to engine block.) Follow procedure in the operation manual.
Lifting
Located on the mounting base near the lifting holes.
Improper lift rigging can allow load to tumble causing injury and damage.1. Use adequate spreader bar as described because center of gravity is above base lift points.2. Attach four properly rated chains from base lift holes to spreader bar.3. Adjust chain lengths to position spreader bar over center symbol for level lift.4. Use single point center lift arch and 5N2171 Instruction Film when present.
General Hazard Information
Attach a DO NOT OPERATE or similar warning tag to the start switch or controls before performing maintenance or repairing the engine. These tags, SEHS7332, are available from your Caterpillar dealer. When appropriate, attach the tags at the engine and at each operator's position. Disconnect starting controls when appropriate. Do not allow unauthorized personnel on, around or in the engine unit when it is being serviced.Diesel engine exhaust contains products of combustion which may be harmful to your health. Always start and operate the engine in a well ventilated area and, if in an enclosed area, vent the exhaust to the outside.Use caution when removing filler cap, grease fittings, pressure taps, breathers or drain plugs. Hold a rag over the cap or plug to prevent being sprayed or splashed by liquids under pressure.* Wear a hard hat, protective glasses, hearing protection and other protective equipment as required by job conditions.* Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that can catch on controls or other parts of the engine.* Make certain all protective guards and covers are secured in place.* Use all cleaning solutions with care.* Never put maintenance fluids into glass containers since glass containers can break.* Report all needed repairs.* Stop the engine.* Ensure the protective locks or controls are in the applied position.* Disconnect the batteries whenever performing any maintenance or before servicing the electrical system. If the engine has electric starters, disconnect and tape the battery ground leads to prevent accidental starting.* Do not attempt any repairs or adjustments to the engine or driven equipment while it is running.* Do not attempt repairs you do not understand. Use proper tools; replace or repair broken or damaged equipment.* When starting an engine after repairs have been made to the fuel system or governor, make provisions for shutting off the engine's inlet air supply (to stop the engine), in case there is an overspeed on start-up.* Start the engine only from the operator's station. Never short across the starter terminals or the batteries as this could bypass the engine neutral-start system as well as damage the electrical system.Pressure Air and Water
Pressure air can cause personal injury. When using pressure air for cleaning, wear a protective face shield, protective clothing and protective shoes.The maximum air pressure must be below 205 kPa (30 psi) and maximum water pressure must be below 275 kPa (40 psi) for cleaning purposes.Wear eye protection at all times when cleaning the cooling system. Pressurized water could cause debris and/or hot water to be blown and result in personal injury.Fluid Penetration
Always use a board or cardboard when checking for a leak. Escaping fluid under pressure, even a pin-hole size leak, can penetrate body tissue, causing serious injury or possible death.If fluid is injected into your skin, it must be treated by a doctor familiar with this type of injury immediately.Fluid Spillage Containment
Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting and repair of the engine. Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable containers before opening any compartment or disassembling any component containing fluids. Refer to NENG2500, Tools And Shop Products Guide, for tools and supplies suitable to collect and contain fluids in Caterpillar engines. Dispose fluids according to local regulations and mandates.Asbestos Information
