Always observe the list of basic precautions that follows:

Safety Signs

Safety signs include the items that follow: signs, information plates, and decals. Read all “Safety” signs on the machine before operating, lubricating, or repairing the machine. Understand all “Safety” signs on the machine before operating, lubricating, or repairing the machine. Replace any safety signs that are in the conditions that follow: damage, unreadable and missing.

Protective Equipment

When you work around the machine, always wear protective equipment that is required by the job conditions. Protective equipment includes the items that follow: hard hat, protective glasses, and protective shoes. In particular, wear protective glasses when you use a hammer or when you use a sledge hammer. When you weld, use the appropriate protective equipment that is required by the job conditions. Protective equipment for welding includes the items that follow: gloves, welding hood, goggles, and apron. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that can catch on parts of the machine.

Mounting and Dismounting

Use steps and handholds when you mount a machine. Also, use steps and handholds when you dismount a machine. Before you mount the machine, clean any mud or debris from steps, walkways, or work platforms. Always face the machine when you use steps, handholds, and walkways. When you cannot use the accesses on the machine, use ladders, scaffolds, or work platforms to perform safe repair operations.

Specifications for Cables, Chains, and Lifting Devices

Use approved cables, chains, and lifting devices to lift components. Refer to the manufacturer's weights to determine the application when you select the following items: cable, chain, and lifting devices. When you lift a component, the lift angle is critical. Refer to the Illustration that follows to see the effect of the lift angle on the working load limit.

Note: The lifting devices that are shown in this publication are not Caterpillar parts.

Note: Ensure that the hooks are equipped with a safety latch. Do not place a side load on the lifting eyes during a lifting operation.

(B) The load capacity is 86% of the working load limit for the sling.
(C) The load capacity is 70% of the working load limit for the sling.
(D) The load capacity is 50% of the working load limit for the sling.

Hot Fluids and Parts

To avoid burns, be alert for hot parts on machines which have been stopped and hot fluids in lines, tubes and compartments.

Be careful when you remove filler caps, breathers, and plugs on the machine. Hold a rag over the cap or plug to prevent being sprayed by pressurized liquids. When the machine has been stopped, the danger of hot fluids is greater.

Corrosion Inhibitor

Corrosion inhibitor contains alkali. Avoid contact with the eyes. Do not allow corrosion inhibitor to contact the skin for extended periods of time. Avoid repeated contact with the skin. Do not drink corrosion inhibitor. If there is contact, immediately wash skin with soap and water. For contact with the eyes, flush the eyes with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention.

Batteries

Do not smoke when an inspection of the battery electrolyte level is made. Never disconnect any charging unit circuit or battery circuit cable from the battery when the charging unit is operating. A spark can cause an explosion from the flammable vapor mixture of hydrogen and oxygen that is released from the electrolyte through the battery outlets. Do not allow battery electrolyte to contact skin or eyes. Battery electrolyte is an acid. If there is contact with battery electrolyte, immediately wash the skin with soap and water. For contact with the eyes, flush the eyes with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention.

Pressurized Items

  1. Always use a board or a piece of cardboard when you check for a leak. Leaking fluid under pressure can penetrate body tissue. Fluid penetration can cause serious injury and possible death. A pin hole leak can cause severe injury. If fluid is injected into your skin, you must get treatment immediately. Seek treatment from a doctor that is familiar with this type of injury.

  2. Relieve all pressure in air, oil, or water systems before any lines, fittings, or related items are disconnected or removed. Always make sure that all raised components are blocked correctly. Be alert for possible pressure when you disconnect any device from a system that utilizes pressure.

  3. Fuel lines that are damaged and fuel lines that are loose can cause fires. Lubrication lines that are damaged and lubrication lines that are loose can cause fires. Hydraulic lines, tubes, and hoses that are damaged can cause fires. Loose hydraulic lines, loose tubes, and loose hoses can cause fires. Do not bend or strike high-pressure lines. Do not install lines which have been bent or damaged. Check lines, tubes, and hoses carefully. Do not use your bare hand to check for leaks. If fluids are injected into your skin, you must get treatment immediately. Seek treatment from a doctor that is familiar with this type of injury.

  4. Pressure air or water can cause personal injury. When pressure air or water is used for cleaning, wear a protective face shield, protective clothing, and protective shoes. The maximum air pressure for cleaning purposes must be below 205 kPa (30 psi). When you use a pressure washer, keep in mind that the nozzle pressures are high. The nozzle pressures are frequently above 13790 kPa (2000 psi). Follow all the recommended practices that are provided by the manufacturer of the pressure washer.
