Fluid Penetration
Always use a board or cardboard when checking for a leak. Escaping fluid under pressure, even a pin-hole size leak, can penetrate body tissue, causing serious injury, and possible death.If fluid is injected into your skin, it must be treated by a doctor familiar with this type of injury immediately.Asbestos Information
Caution should be used to avoid breathing dust that may be generated when handling components containing asbestos fibers. If this dust is inhaled, it can be hazardous to your health.Components in Caterpillar products that may contain asbestos fibers are brake pads, brake band and lining assemblies, clutch plates and some gaskets.The asbestos used in these components is usually bound in a resin or sealed in some way. Normal handling is not hazardous as long as airborne dust which contains asbestos is not generated.If dust which may contain asbestos is present, there are several common sense guidelines that should be followed.* Never use compressed air for cleaning.* Avoid brushing or grinding of asbestos containing materials.* For clean up, use wet methods or a vacuum equipped with a high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter.* Use exhaust ventilation on permanent machining jobs.* Wear an approved respirator if there is no other way to control the dust.* Comply with applicable rules and regulations for the work place (for example in the U.S.A., OSHA requirements as set forth in 29 CFR 1910.1001).* Follow environmental rules and regulations for disposal of asbestos.* Avoid areas where asbestos particles may be in the air.Lines, Tubes and Hoses
Do not bend or strike high pressure lines. Do not install bent or damaged lines, tubes or hoses.Repair any loose or damaged fuel and oil lines, tubes and hoses. Leaks can cause fires.Inspect all lines, tubes and hoses carefully. Do not use your bare hands to check for leaks. Tighten all connections to the recommend torque.* End fittings damaged or leaking.* Outer covering chafed or cut and wire reinforcing exposed.* Outer covering ballooning locally.* Evidence of kinking or crushing of the flexible part of the hose.* Armoring embedded in the outer cover.* End fittings displaced.Burn Prevention
Do not touch any part of an operating engine. Allow the engine to cool before any repairs are performed on the engine.Relieve all pressure in air, oil, fuel or cooling systems before any lines, fittings or related items are disconnected or removed.Coolant
To prevent personal injury, do not step up on engine to remove the filler cap, if applicable. Use an adequate ladder.At operating temperature, the engine coolant is hot and under pressure. The radiator and all lines to heaters or the engine contain hot water. When pressure is relieved rapidly, this hot water can turn into steam.Any contact with hot water or steam can cause severe burns.Check the coolant level only after the engine has been stoped and the filler cap is cool enough to remove with your bare hand.Remove the cooling system filler cap slowly to relieve pressure.Supplemental cooling system additive contains alkali. To prevent personal injury, avoid contact with the skin and
