Typical example
Attach a "Do Not Operate" warning tag or a similar warning tag to the start switch or to the controls. Attach the warning tag before you service the equipment or before you repair the equipment. These warning tags (Special Instruction, SEHS7332) are available from your Cat dealer.
Operating the machine while distracted can result in the loss of machine control. Use extreme caution when using any device while operating the machine. Operating the machine while distracted can result in personal injury or death.
Know the width of your equipment to maintain proper clearance when you operate the equipment near fences or near boundary obstacles.Be aware of high-voltage power lines and power cables that are buried. If the power pack comes in contact with these hazards, serious injury or death may occur from electrocution.
Illustration 2 g00702020Wear a hard hat, protective glasses, and other protective equipment, as required.Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that can snag on controls or on other parts of the equipment.Make sure that all protective guards and all covers are secured in place on the equipment.Keep the equipment free from foreign material. Remove debris, oil, tools, and other items.Know the appropriate work site hand signals and the personnel that are authorized to give the hand signals. Accept hand signals from one person only.Never put maintenance fluids into glass containers. Drain all liquids into a suitable container.Obey all local regulations for the disposal of liquids.Use all cleaning solutions with care. Report all necessary repairs.Do not allow unauthorized personnel to use the equipment.Do not use any parts of the power pack as a climbing aid.Unless you are instructed otherwise, perform maintenance under the following conditions:
The motor is switched off.
The connecting cable is disconnected.Pressurized Air and Water
Pressurized air and/or water can cause debris and/or hot water to be blown out. The debris and/or hot water could result in personal injury.When pressurized air and/or pressurized water is used for cleaning, wear protective clothing, protective shoes, and eye protection. Eye protection includes goggles or a protective face shield.The maximum air pressure for cleaning purposes must be reduced to 205 kPa (30 psi) when the nozzle is deadheaded and the nozzle is used with an effective chip deflector and personal protective equipment. The maximum water pressure for cleaning purposes must be below 275 kPa (40 psi).Avoid direct spraying of water on electrical connectors, connections, and components. When using air for cleaning, allow the power pack to cool to reduce the possibility of fine debris igniting when re-deposited on hot surfaces.Trapped Pressure
Use caution if you disconnect hydraulic lines or fittings. High-pressure oil that is released can cause a hose to whip. High-pressure oil that is released can cause oil to spray. Fluid penetration can cause serious injury and possible death.Fluid Penetration
Pressure can be trapped in the hydraulic circuit long after the machine has been stopped. The pressure can cause hydraulic fluid or items such as pipe plugs to escape rapidly if the pressure is not relieved correctly.Do not remove any hydraulic components or
