with your hand to avoid being burned.
 Do not remove the engine oil temperature
sensor, water temperature sensor, converter
oil sensor and air conditioner water tube when
the machine is hot, to avoid being burned.
Crushing Prevention and
Cutting Prevention
 Keep your hands, arms and all body parts
clear of all moving parts such as, the area
between the work tools and cylinders or the
area between the machine and work tools. The
clearance in the linkage area will change with
the movement of the work tools. This may lead
to serious accident or personal injury. If
entrance between the machine and moving
parts is necessary, always stop the engine,
and then lock the work tools.
 Support the machine properly before you
perform any work beneath the machine. Do not
depend on the hydraulic cylinders to hold up
the equipment. Equipment can fall if a control
is moved, or if a hydraulic line breaks.
 Unless otherwise stated, never make any
adjustment when the machine is operating or
the engine is running.
 Stay clear of all rotating and moving parts.
 Keep objects away from moving fan
blades. The fan blade will throw or cut the tools
or objects in between.
Precautions When Using
ROPS (Rollover Protective
Structure)
If ROPS is installed, do not operate the
machine with the ROPS removed. The ROPS
is installed to protect the operator if the loader
should roll over. It is designed not only to
support the tipping load, but also to dampen
the impact.
 The ROPS meets international
specifications and standards. Its strength may
be reduced after rolling over or being damaged
by falling objects, and its protection function
may be weakened. In such a case, contact
your dealer for repair.
 Even if ROPS is installed, when operating
the machine, the operator should wear the
seat belt, and use other the safety devices to
provide proper protection.
Precautions for Attachments
 When installing and using an optional
attachment, read the instruction manual for the
attachment and the information related to
attachments in this manual.
 Do not use attachments that are not
authorized by Caterpillar (Qingzhou) Ltd. or
your Caterpillar (Qingzhou) Ltd. distributor.
Use of unauthorized attachments could create
a safety concern and adversely affect the
proper operation and service life of the
machine.
 Caterpillar (Qingzhou) Ltd. is not
responsible for any injuries, accidents,
machine damages resulting from the use of
unauthorized attachments.
Ventilation for Enclosed Areas
 In an enclosed or poorly ventilated area, if
it is necessary to start the engine, handle fuel,
flush parts, or paint, immediately open the
doors and windows to ensure that adequate
ventilation is provided to prevent gas
poisoning.
 If opening the doors and windows does not
provide adequate ventilation, fans should be
installed.
Lines, Tubes and Hoses
 Do not bend high-pressure lines or strike
high-pressure lines. Do not install any tubes or
hoses that are bent or damaged.
 Always repair any loose or damaged tubes
and hoses in fuel or oil circuits and hydraulic
system because any leaks can cause fire.
Consult your Caterpillar (Qingzhou) Ltd.
distributor immediately for repair or
replacement parts.
 Carefully check lines, tubes and hoses.
Tighten all connections to the recommended
torque. Always wear safety glasses and thick
