 Move the control lever to the “Center”
position.
Proper Tools
Only use the proper tools. Injury may result
from using damaged, low quality, flawed or
interim replacement tools.
Periodic Replacement of Critical Parts and
Components
Hoses in fuel system, hydraulic system and
brake system and some other parts and
components are the key to ensure safety, so
they must be replaced periodically.
Specific skills are needed to replace these
key parts and components. Please contact the
appointed Caterpillar (Qingzhou) Ltd. dealer.
 These parts and component must be
replaced with new ones no matter if they are
failed or not. These parts can age gradually
resulting in oil leakage or failure in the work
tool system. And then serious accident may
arise.
 Replace these parts and components right
away if there is any issue, even of they are still
within the usage period. Refer to the “Periodic
Replacement of Critical Parts and
Components” for the replacement of safety
parts and components.
Illumination
 Use the anti-explosive lighting equipment
when checking the fuel, lubricant, and
electrolyte of battery or window glass solvent.
If such illumination equipment is not used,
there is an explosive danger.
 If the application is dark without lightening
equipment, injury may occur, so proper
lightening equipment should be mounted.
 Though it is in the dark place, a lighter or
flame should not be used for lightening,
because there is possibility of fire. If the gas of
the battery meets fire, explosion may occur.
 Follow the guide of Operation
Maintenance Manual when using the machine
to lighten.
Fire Prevention
The gas diffused from fuel or battery might be
flammable. Follow the following attentions
when repairing or maintaining.
 The storage of fuel, lubricant and other
combustible material should be far away from
the flame.
 Use non-combustible material such as a
solvent to wash the parts. Do not use diesel or
gas because it is flammable.
 No smoking when repairing or maintaining
equipment. Smoke in the appointed places.
 Use non-flammable lightening equipment
when checking the fuel, lubricant or electrolyte
of battery. Never use a lighter or match.
 Move the combustible material to the safe
place when grinding or welding the frame.
 Have an extinguisher at the repair and
maintenance place.
During Maintenance
Maintenance People
 Only a qualified person can do
maintenance and repair. Unauthorized
personnel are not allowed to enter the work
area. If necessary, designate a person to
guard.
 Pay special attention, while grinding,
welding, or using a sledgehammer,.
Attachment
 Before we attach/detach an attachment or
equipment, first designate an owner.
 A non-operator is not allowed to get close
to machine or attachment.
 Detach the attachment to a safe place and
make sure it will not fall down, Put a rail around
the attachment, with the mark “do not enter’, to
avoid people to get close.
Work Under the Machine
 At the beginning of maintenance or before
repair under the machine, put the machine and
all attachments on solid flat ground.
 Secure the tire with a
wedge.
 If the tire is supported
only by equipment, it will
be dangerous for people to
work under the machine,
never work under poor
quality support.
