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 visible. 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 of the machine that is replaced, install a safety sign on the replacement part. Any Caterpillar dealer can provide new safety signs.
