Make sure that all of the safety signs are legible. Clean the safety signs or replace the safety signs if you cannot read the words. Replace the illustrations if the illustrations are not legible. When you clean the safety signs, use a cloth, water and soap. Do not use solvent, gasoline, or other harsh chemicals to clean the safety signs. Solvents, gasoline, or harsh chemicals could loosen the adhesive that secures the safety sign. Loose adhesive will allow the safety sign to fall.
Replace any safety sign that is damaged, or missing. If a safety sign is attached to a part that is replaced, install a safety sign on the replacement part. Any Caterpillar dealer can provide new safety signs.

There is limited battery access. Jump starting at the battery, or improper jumper cable connections at the starter, can cause explosion resulting in personal injury. Do not jump start the machine at the battery. Use the remote starting receptacle or jump start to the positive battery post on the starter. If remote starting receptacle can not be used, jumper cables may be used at the starter. Always connect the positive (+) cable to positive (+) terminal of the starter and connect negative (−) cable from external source to engine block. Follow procedure from the Operation and Maintenance Manual. |

|
HIGH PRESSURE CYLINDER Do not remove any valve, hydraulic fitting, or valve core, nor disassemble any parts until pressure has been relieved or personal injury may occur. To relieve pressure: Shut off engine and wait five minutes for hydraulic system pressure to dissipate. Relieve gas pressure in the accumulator cylinder by opening the charging valve one turn only. Charge cylinder with dry nitrogen gas. Precharge pressure _______ PSI _______kPa. Service pressure (Operating-Loaded) ______PSI ______kPa. Minimum bursting pressure _____PSI _____kPa. See your Caterpillar dealer for tools and detailed information required for charging cylinders. |
