There may be several specific safety messages on
your engine. The exact location and a description of
the safety messages are reviewed in this section.
Become familiar with all safety messages.
Ensure that all the safety messages are legible.
Clean the safety messages or replace the safety
messages if the words cannot be read or if the
illustrations are not visible. Use a cloth, water, and
soap to clean the safety messages. Do not use
solvents, gasoline, or other harsh chemicals.
Solvents, gasoline, or harsh chemicals could loosen
the adhesive that secures the safety messages. The
safety messages that are loosened could drop off the
engine.
Replace any safety message that is damaged or
missing. If a safety message is attached to a part of
the engine that is replaced, install a new safety
message on the replacement part. Your Caterpillar
dealer can provide new safety messages.
Do not operate or work on this engine unless you
have read and understand the instructions and
