Safety Messages

Usage:

XQG400 AL5
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 of 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 Cat dealer can provide new safety messages.

Note: Some engine components have been removed to increase the visibility of the safety labels.

Personal injury or death can result from high voltage.

When power generation equipment must be in operation to make tests and/or adjustments, high voltage and current are present.

Improper test equipment can fail and present a high voltage shock hazard to its user.

Make sure the testing equipment is designed for and correctly operated for high voltage and current tests being made.

When servicing or repairing electric power generation equipment:

  • Make sure the unit is off-line (disconnected from utility and/or other generators power service), and either locked out or tagged DO NOT OPERATE.

Improper lift rigging can allow unit to tumble causing injury and damage.


1. Use an adequate spreader bar because the center of gravity is above the base lifting points.

2. Attach four properly rated chains from the base lifting holes to the spreader bar.

3. Adjust the chain lengths in order to position the spreader bar over the center symbol for level lift.

4. Use a single point center lift arch and use a 5N-2171 Film when present.
