General Hazard Information
Attach a DO NOT OPERATE or similar warning tag to start switch or controls before performing maintenance or repairing the engine. These tags, SEHS7332, are available from your Caterpillar dealer. When appropriate, attach tags at the engine and pilot position, and disconnect starting controls. DO NOT ALLOW UNAUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ON OR AROUND THE ENGINE WHEN IT IS BEING SERVICED.* 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 starting motors, disconnect and tape the battery ground leads to prevent accidental starting.* Lock out all electrical panels associated with the engine being serviced.* 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 intake air and/or fuel supply (to stop the engine), in case there is an overspeed on start-up.* Start the engine only from the pilot house. Never short across the starting motor 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 (maximum air pressure must be below 200 kPa [30 psi] for cleaning purposes) wear a protective face shield, protective clothing and protective shoes.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.Lines, Tubes and Hoses
Inspect all lines, tubes and hoses carefully. Do not use your bare hands to check for leaks. Tighten all connections to the recommended torque. Repair any loose or damaged fuel and oil lines, tubes and hoses. Do not bend or strike high pressure lines. Do not install bent or damaged lines, tubes or hoses. Leaks can cause fires.* End fittings damaged, leaking or displaced.* Outer covering chafed or cut and wire reinforcing exposed.* Outer covering ballooning locally.* Evidence of kinking or crushing of the flexible part of the hose.* Armoring embedded in the outer cover.Asbestos Information
Your Caterpillar engine and genuine Caterpillar replacement parts shipped from the factory are asbestos free. Caterpillar recommends the use of ONLY genuine Caterpillar parts.Burn Prevention
Do not touch any part of an operating engine. Allow the engine to cool before any repair or maintenance is performed on the engine. Make sure that all clamps, guards and heat shields are installed correctly to prevent vibration (rubbing against other parts) and excessive heat during operation.Use caution when removing vent release valve, grease fittings, pressure taps, breathers or drain plugs. Relieve all pressure in air, oil, fuel or cooling systems before any lines, fittings or related items are disconnected or removed. Hold a rag over the cap or plug to prevent being sprayed or splashed by liquids under pressure.Use caution when removing cover plates. Gradually loosen (do not remove) the last two bolts or nuts located at opposite ends of the cover or device. Pry cover loose to relieve any spring or other pressure, before removing the last bolts or nuts.Coolant
Allow cooling system components to cool before draining. At operating temperature the engine coolant is hot and under pressure. The cooling system and all system lines contain hot water. When pressure is relieved rapidly this hot water can turn into steam. Any contact with hot water or steam can cause severe burns.Check the coolant level only after the engine has been stopped and the vent release valve is cool enough to remove with your bare hand. Remove the cooling system vent release valve slowly to relieve pressure. Use caution when removing vent release valve, 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.Do not step up on engine to remove the cooling system filler cap or vent release valve, if applicable. A service platform should be provided or use an adequate ladder.Cooling system additive (conditioner) contains alkali. To prevent personal injury, avoid contact with the skin and eyes and DO NOT DRINK.Oils
Hot oil and components can cause personal injury. Do not allow hot oil or components to contact the skin.Keep all exhaust manifold and turbocharger shields in place to protect hot exhaust from oil spray in the event of a line, tube or seal failure.Always wear protective glasses when working with batteries. Battery electrolyte contains acid and can cause injury. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes. Wash hands after touching batteries and connectors. Use of gloves is recommended.Fire or Explosion Prevention
A flash fire can result in personal injury if crankcase covers are removed within fifteen minutes after an emergency shutdown.Fire may result from lubricating oil or fuel sprayed on hot surfaces causing personal injury and property damage. Inspect all lines and tubes for wear or deterioration. They must be routed, supported or clamped securely. Tighten all connections to the recommended torque.Exhaust shields (if equipped), which protect hot exhaust components from oil or fuel spray in the event of a line, tube or seal
