There may be several specific safety messages on an engine. The exact location of the hazards and the description of the hazards are reviewed in this section. Please become familiarized with all safety messages.

Ensure that all of the safety messages are legible. Clean the safety messages or replace the safety messages if the words cannot be read or if the pictures are not visible. When the safety messages are cleaned, use a cloth, water, and soap. Do not use solvent, gasoline, or other harsh chemicals to clean the safety messages. 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 damaged safety messages or missing safety messages. If a safety message is attached to a part of the engine that is replaced, install a new safety message on the replacement part. Any Cat dealer can provide new safety messages.
