This machine is equipped with a Caterpillar Machine Security System (MSS) and may not start under certain conditions. Read the following information and know your machine's settings. Your Caterpillar dealer can identify your machine settings.
Machine Security System (MSS) - Machines that are equipped with a Cat Machine Security System (MSS) can be identified by a decal in the operator station. MSS is designed to prevent theft of the machine or unauthorized operation.Basic Operation
MSS may be programmed to read a standard Cat key or an electronic key. The electronic key contains an electronic chip within the plastic housing for the key. Each key emits a unique signal to the MSS. The keys can be identified by a gray housing or a yellow housing. MSS can have programmed settings to require an electronic key or a standard Cat key for starting during certain periods of time.When the key start switch of the machine is turned to the ON position, the ECM will read the unique ID. The ECM will then compare this ID to the list of authorized keys. The following table tells the operator the status for starting the machine. The status light is located near the key start switch.

When you turn the key to the OFF position and the MSS is active, you have 30 seconds in order to restart the machine with an unauthorized key. Also if
