The information, specifications, and illustrations in
this publication are based on information that was
available at the time that the publication was written.
The specifications, torques, pressures,
measurements, adjustments, illustrations, and other
items can change at any time. These changes can

Safety Information
Most accidents that involve product operation,
maintenance, and repair are caused by failure to
observe basic safety rules or precautions. An
accident can often be avoided by recognizing
potentially hazardous situations before an accident
occurs. The operator should also have the necessary
training, skills, and tools to perform these functions
properly.
Safety precautions and warnings are provided in this
manual and on the product. If these hazard warnings
are not heeded, bodily injury or death could occur to
you or to other persons

Safety Signal Words
The following safety signal words can be found
throughout this publication. Review the image below
to understand the severity of bodily harm that can
occur during certain operational steps. Refer to “ANSI
Z535.1-2002 - American National Standard For
Safety Color Code” and “ANSI Z535.6-2011-

Tool Image
There are specific safety messages on this tool. The
exact location of the hazards and the description of
the hazards are reviewed in this section. Become
familiarized with all safety messages.
Make sure that all the safety messages are legible.
Clean the safety messages or replace the safety
messages if you cannot read the words. Replace the
illustrations if the illustrations are not visible. When
you clean the safety messages, use a cloth, water,
and soap. Do not use solvent, gasoline, or other
harsh chemicals to clean the safety messages.
Solvents, gasoline, or harsh chemicals could loosen
the adhesive that secures the safety message. Loose
adhesive will allow the safety message to fall.
Replace any safety message that is damaged, or
missing. If a safety message is attached to a part that
is replaced, install a safety message on the
replacement part. Any Cat dealer can provide new
safety messages.
