General Hazard Information
Attach a "DO NOT OPERATE" or similar warning tag to start switch or controls before servicing or repairing the engine. These tags, SEHS7332, are available from your Caterpillar dealer.Do not allow unauthorized personnel around the engine when it is being serviced.When operating the engine in a closed area, vent the exhaust to the outside.Wear a hard hat, protective glasses 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.* Apply the secondary (emergency) and parking brakes (if equipped).* Block or restrain the locomotive, if applicable before servicing.* Disconnect the batteries before servicing the electrical system.* Do not attempt repairs you do not understand.* Use proper tools and replace or repair broken or damaged equipment.* When starting an engine after repairs have been made to the fuel system, make provisions for shutting off the engine's intake 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) 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, and possible death.If fluid is injected into your skin, it must be treated by a doctor familiar with this type of injury immediately.Asbestos Information
Caution should be used to avoid breathing dust that may be generated when handling components containing asbestos fibers. If this dust is inhaled, it can be hazardous to your health.Components in Caterpillar products that may contain asbestos fibers are brake pads, brake band and lining assemblies, clutch plates and some gaskets.The asbestos used in these components is usually bound in a resin or sealed in some way. Normal handling is not hazardous as long as airborne dust which contains asbestos is not generated.If dust which may contain asbestos is present, there are several common sense guidelines that should be followed.* Never use compressed air for cleaning.* Avoid brushing or grinding of asbestos containing materials.* For clean up, use wet methods or a vacuum equipped with a high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter.* Use exhaust ventilation on permanent machining jobs.* Wear an approved respirator if there is no other way to control the dust.* Comply with applicable rules and regulations for the work place (for example in the U.S.A., OSHA requirements as set forth in 29 CFR 1910.1001).* Follow environmental rules and regulations for disposal of asbestos.* Avoid areas where asbestos particles may be in the air.Lines, Tubes and Hoses
Do not bend or strike high pressure lines. Do not install bent or damaged lines, tubes or hoses.Repair any loose or damaged fuel and oil lines, tubes and hoses. Leaks can cause fires.Inspect all lines, tubes and hoses carefully. Do not use your bare hands to check for leaks. Tighten all connections to the recommended torque.* End fittings damaged or leaking.* 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.* End fittings displaced.Burn Prevention
Do not touch any part of an operating engine. Allow the engine to cool before any repairs are performed on the engine.Relieve all pressure in air, oil, fuel or cooling systems before any lines, fittings or related items are disconnected or removed.Coolant
To prevent personal injury, do not step up on engine to remove the fill cap, if applicable. Use an adequate ladder.At operating temperature, the engine coolant is hot and under pressure. The radiator and all lines to heaters or the engine 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 fill cap is cool enough to remove with your bare hand.Remove the cooling system fill cap slowly to relieve pressure.Cooling system additive contains alkali. To prevent personal injury, avoid contact with the skin and eyes and do not drink.Allow cooling system components to cool before draining.Oils
Hot oil and components can cause personal injury. Do not allow hot oil or components to contact the skin.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.Batteries give off flammable fumes which can explode.Do not smoke when observing the battery electrolyte levels.Always wear protective glasses when working with batteries.Fire or Explosion Prevention
Determine whether the engine will be operated in an environment in which combustible gases could be drawn through the air inlet system. These gases could cause the engine to overspeed, which in turn could destroy the engine and result in bodily injury or property damage.If your application involves the presence of combustible gases, consult your Caterpillar dealer to obtain additional information concerning protection devices (i.e. air inlet shutoff) suitable for the application involved.All fuels, most lubricants and some coolant mixtures are flammable.Diesel fuel is flammable. Gasoline is flammable. The mixture of diesel and gasoline fumes are extremely explosive.Do not smoke while refueling or in a refueling area.Do not smoke in areas where batteries are charged, or where flammable
