KIT-SEAL 5456415 - Caterpillar

Machine Operating Temperature Range
The machine must function satisfactorily in the anticipated ambient temperature limits that are encountered during operation. The standard machine configuration is intended for use within an ambient temperature range of −18 °C (0 °F) to 43 °C (109 °F). Special configurations for different ambient temperatures may be available. Consult your Caterpillar dealer for additional information on special configurations of your machine.Machine Operation
Only operate the machine while you are in a seat. The seat belt must be fastened while you operate the machine. Only operate the controls while the engine is running.Check for proper operation of all controls and of all protective devices while you operate the machine slowly in an open area.When the machine is moving watch the clearance of the boom. Uneven ground can cause the boom to move in all directions. Make sure that no personnel will be endangered before you move the machine. Do not allow riders on the machine unless the machine has an additional seat with a seat belt.Report any machine damage that was noted during machine operation. Make any necessary repairs.Never use the work tool for a work platform.Hold attachments approximately 40 cm (15 inches) above ground level while you drive the machine. Do not drive the machine close to an overhang, to the edge of a cliff, or to the edge of an excavation.If the machine begins to sideslip on a grade, immediately dump the load and turn the machine downhill.Be careful to avoid any ground condition which could cause the machine to tip. Tipping can occur when you work on hills, on banks, or on slopes. Tipping can also occur when you cross ditches, ridges, or other unexpected obstructions.Avoid operating the machine across the slope. Place the heaviest end of the machine uphill when you are working on an incline. Keep the machine under control. Do not overload the machine beyond capacity.Avoid changing the direction of travel on a slope. Changing the direction of travel on a slope could result in tipping or side slipping of the machine.Bring the load close to the machine before traveling any distances.Bring the load close to the machine before swinging the load.Lifting capacity decreases as the load is moved further from the machine.Make sure that the towing eyes and the towing devices are adequate for your needs.Only connect trailing equipment to a drawbar or to a hitch.Never straddle a wire cable. Never allow other personnel to straddle a wire cable.When you maneuver in order to connect the equipment, make sure that no personnel are between the machine and trailing equipment. Block up the hitch of the trailing equipment in order to align the equipment with the drawbar.Check the local regulations, state codes, and/or directives of the job site for a specific minimum distance from obstacles.Before you operate the machine, check with local utilities for the locations of underground pipes and for the locations of buried cables.Know the maximum dimensions of your machine.Watch the load at all times. Do not operate the
