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