There are several specific messages on this machine. The location of the messages and the description of the messages are reviewed in this section. Become familiarized with all messages.
Make sure that all of the messages are legible. Clean the messages or replace the messages if you cannot read the words. Replace the illustrations if the illustrations are not legible. When you clean the messages, use a cloth, water, and soap. Do not use solvent, gasoline, or other harsh chemicals to clean the messages. Solvents, gasoline, or harsh chemicals could loosen the adhesive that secures the messages. Loose adhesive will allow the messages to fall.
Replace any message that is damaged, or missing. If a message is attached to a part that is replaced, install a message on the replacement part. Any Prentice dealer can provide new messages.

|
Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO), Residual fuel, or Blended fuel must NOT be used in Caterpillar diesel engines (except in 3600 Series HFO engines). Blended fuel is residual fuel that has been diluted with a lighter fuel (cutter stock) so that they will flow. Blended fuels are also referred to as heavy fuel oils. Severe component wear and component failures will result if HFO type fuels are used in engines that are configured to use distillate fuel. |

Mixing alcohol or gasoline with diesel fuel can produce an explosive mixture in the engine crankcase or fuel tank. Personal injury and damage to the engine may result. Prentice recommends against this practice. |
There are many different types of fuel additives that are available to use. Prentice does not generally recommend the use of fuel additives.
Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, SEBU6250, "Caterpillar Machine Fluids Recommendations" for the use of fuel additives and fuel conditioners.
