GENERAL SAFETY

DANGER

WARNING

ELECTRIC LINES

DEATH WILL RESULT FROM CONTACT WITH ELEC TRIC LINES.

Never move any part of machine or load closer than 10 feet plus twice the line insulator length to electric lines. A line insulator is what connects an electric line to an electric pole.

For example, if a line insulator is 6 inches long, operator must stay at least 10 feet plus 2x the line insulator length (2x6 =12 inches or 1 foot from electric line, which means you must stay at least 11 feet from the electric line).

G.003.02

If machine touches an electric line, stay inside the cab. Carefully move machine or load away from electric line, without pulling the line down.

DO NOT let anyone else touch machine while it is touching an electric line. If it is not possible to move the machine away from the electric line without pulling line down, have someone contact the utility company to disconnect power from line. If this is not possible, or if machine begins to burn, jump away from machine to the ground with both feet together, in one smooth jump. Do not run or walk away from machine. Jump with feet together “bunny hop” away from machine. DO NOT touch machine and ground at the same time or else electricity in the line will go through your body. Get away from machine after jumping.

SERIOUS INJURY OR

Notify the utility company immediately. DO NOT let anyone near machine while it is touching an electric line.

ELECTRICAL STORM

Electrical storms (lightning) can cause severe personal injury or death.

When lightning is striking in the vicinity of the machine, the operator should NEVER attempt the following procedures:

Mount the machine

Dismount the machine

If you are in the operator’s station during an electrical storm, stay in the operator’s station. If you are on the ground during an electrical storm, stay away from the vicinity of the machine.

GENERAL SAFETY

CAUTION

FIRST AID KIT

injury and/or machine damage.

Much of the material found in forestry operations is highly ammable, including limbs, bark, leaves, saw dust, small wood chips and pine needles. When the forestry debris is soaked in fuel or lubricants, the risk of re is greatly increased. Doing a daily inspection before every shift, or more often based on the work activity and build-up of debris, is the best way to prevent a machine re. Frequent inspections and thorough machine cleaning are critical when engaged in forestry operations, and even minor leaks or electrical malfunctions should be repaired as soon as possible.

Keep machine clean. Highly ammable debris such as leaves, twigs, saw dust, small wood chips and pine needles can collect on and in equipment used in forestry operations. If allowed to accumulate, the debris can rapidly become the fuel component of a machine re. Clean all accumulations of forest debris in the engine compartment or around other hot areas and hot parts on the machine at the completion of each work shift or more frequent when working in conditions where large amounts of forest debris are present.

GENERAL SAFETY

FIRE PREVENTION AND EXPLOSION PREVENTION

GENERAL

All fuels, most lubricants, and some coolant mixtures are ammable.

To minimize the risk of re or explosion, Caterpillar recommends the following actions.

Always perform a Walk-Around Inspection, which may help you identify a re hazard. Do not operate a machine when a re hazard exists. Contact your Caterpillar dealer for service.

Understand the use of the primary exit and alternative exit on the machine. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, “Alternative Exit”.

Dust that is generated from repairing nonmetallic hoods or fenders may be ammable and/or explosive. Repair such components in a well ventilated area away from open ames or sparks. Use suitable Personal Protection Equipment (PPE).

Inspect all lines and hoses for wear or deterioration. Replace damaged lines and hoses. The lines and the hoses should have adequate support and secure clamps. Tighten all connections to the recommended torque. Damage to the protective cover or insulation may provide fuel for res.

Store fuels and lubricants in properly marked containers away from unauthorized personnel. Store oily rags and ammable materials in protective containers. Do not smoke in areas that are used for storing ammable materials.

Do not operate a machine with a uid leak. Repair leaks and clean up uids before resuming machine operation. Fluids that are leaking or spilled onto hot surfaces or onto electrical components can cause a re. A re may cause personal injury or death.

Remove ammable material such as leaves, twigs, papers, trash, etc. These items may accumulate in the engine compartment or around other hot areas and hot parts on the machine.

Keep the access doors to major machine compartments closed and access doors in working condition in order to permit the use of re suppression equipment, in case a re should occur.

Clean all accumulations of ammable materials such as fuel, oil and debris from the machine.

Do not operate the machine near any ame.

Keep shields in place. Exhaust shields (if equipped) protect hot exhaust components from oil spray or fuel spray in case of a break in a line, in a hose, or in a seal. Exhaust shields must be installed correctly.

Use caution when you are fueling a machine. Do not smoke while you are fueling a machine. Do not fuel a machine near open ames or sparks. Always stop the engine before fueling. Fill the fuel tank outdoors. Properly clean areas of spillage.

Follow practices for safe fueling that are described in the “Operation” section of the Operation and Maintenance Manual section and follow local regulations. Never store ammable uids in the operator compartment of the machine.

Do not weld or ame cut on tanks or lines that contain ammable uids or ammable material. Empty and purge the lines and tanks. Then clean the lines and tanks with a nonammable solvent prior to welding or ame cutting. Ensure that the components are properly grounded in order to avoid unwanted arcs.

WARNING

BATTERY AND BATTERY CABLES

Caterpillar recommends the following in order to minimize the risk of re or an explosion related to the battery.

Do not operate a machine if battery cables or related parts show signs of wear or damage. Contact your Caterpillar dealer for service.

Follow safe procedures for engine starting with jump start cables. Improper jumper cable connections can cause an explosion that may result in injury. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, “Engine Starting with Jump Start Cables” for specic instructions.

Do not charge a frozen battery. This may cause an explosion.

Gases from a battery can explode. Keep any open ames or sparks away from the top of a battery. Do not smoke in battery charging areas.

Never check the battery charge by placing a metal object across the terminal posts. Use a voltmeter or a hydrometer.

Daily inspect battery cables that are in visible areas. Identify cables, clips, straps, and other restraints for damage. Replace these items if necessary. Look for signs of the following, which can occur over time due to use and environmental factors:

• Fraying

• Abrasion

• Cracking

• Discoloration

• Cuts on the insulation of the cable

• Fouling

• Corroded terminals, damaged terminals, and loose terminals

Replace damaged battery cable(s) and replace any related parts. Eliminate any fouling, which may have caused insulation failure or related component damage or wear. Ensure that all components are reinstalled correctly.

An exposed wire on the battery cable may cause a short to ground if the exposed area comes into contact with a grounded surface. A battery cable short produces heat from the battery current, which may be a re hazard.

An exposed wire on the ground cable between the battery and the disconnect switch may cause the disconnect switch to be bypassed if the exposed area comes into contact with a grounded surface. This may result in an unsafe condition for servicing the machine. Repair components or replace components before servicing the machine.

Fire on a machine can result in personal injury or death. Exposed battery cables that come into contact with a grounded connection can result in res. Replace cables and related parts that show signs of wear or damage. Contact your Caterpillar dealer.

WIRING

Check electrical wires daily. If any of the following conditions exist, replace parts before you operate the machine.

• Fraying

• Signs of abrasion or wear

• Cracking

• Discoloration

• Cuts on insulation

• Other damage

Make sure that all clamps, guards, clips, and straps are reinstalled correctly. This will help to prevent vibration, rubbing against other parts, and excessive heat during machine operation.

Attaching electrical wiring to hoses and tubes that contain ammable uids or combustible uids should be avoided.

Consult your Caterpillar dealer for repair or for replacement parts.

Keep wiring and electrical connections free of debris.

GENERAL SAFETY

LINES, TUBES AND HOSES

Do not bend high pressure lines. Do not strike high pressure lines. Do not install any lines that are bent or damaged. Use the appropriate backup wrenches in order to tighten all connections to the recommended torque.

Check lines, tubes and hoses carefully. Wear Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) in order to check for leaks. Always use a board or cardboard when you check for a leak. Leaking uid that is under pressure can penetrate body tissue. Fluid penetration can cause serious injury and possible death. A pin hole leak can cause severe injury. If uid is injected into your skin, you must get treatment immediately. Seek treatment from a doctor that is familiar with this type of injury.

Replace the aected parts if any of the following conditions are present:

• End ttings are damaged or leaking.

• Outer coverings are chafed or cut.

• Wires are exposed.

• Outer coverings are swelling or ballooning.

• Flexible parts of the hoses are kinked.

• Outer covers have exposed embedded armoring.

• End ttings are displaced.

ETHER

Ether (if equipped) is commonly used in cold weather applications. Ether is ammable and poisonous.

Follow the correct cold engine starting procedures. Refer to the section in the Operation and Maintenance Manual with the label “Engine Starting”.

Do not spray ether into an engine if the machine is equipped with a thermal starting aid for cold weather starting.

Use ether in well ventilated areas. Do not smoke while you are replacing an ether cylinder or while you are using an ether spray.

Do not store ether cylinders in living areas or in the operator compartment of a machine. Do not store ether cylinders in direct sunlight or in temperatures above 49° C (120.2° F). Keep ether cylinders away from open ames or sparks.

Dispose of used ether cylinders properly. Do not puncture an ether cylinder. Keep ether cylinders away from unauthorized personnel.

FIRE EXTINGUISHER

As an additional safety measure, keep a re extinguisher on the machine.

Be familiar with the operation of the re extinguisher. Inspect the re extinguisher and service the re extinguisher regularly. Follow the recommendations on the instruction plate.

Consider installation of an aftermarket Fire Suppression System, if the application and working conditions warrant the installation.

Make sure that all clamps, guards, and heat shields are installed correctly. During machine operation, this will help to prevent vibration, rubbing against other parts, excessive heat, and failure of lines, tubes and hoses.

Do not operate a machine when a re hazard exists. Repair any lines that are corroded, loose or damaged. Leaks may provide fuel for res. Consult your Caterpillar dealer for repair or for replacement parts. Use genuine Caterpillar parts or the equivalent, for capabilities of both the pressure limit and temperature limit.

FIRE PREVENTION

Fires can cause personal

injury or machine damage.

Keep machine clean. Remove debris, especially from heat sources. Fire prevention beats re ghting. Hourly or daily inspections can reduce the possibility of res.

Forest debris can collect on the machine and cause a re. When forest debris mixes with ammable uids in a hot, conned space, the risk of a re starting greatly increases. KEEP THE MACHINE CLEAN.

Check machine daily for re hazards. Remove debris from areas of the machine that create heat and that are potential re start points. Depending on machine model, check for ammable debris in the following locations:

• Engine block • Turbocharger

• Exhaust manifold • Battery

• Electrical connections • Control valves

Fire needs fuel. Remove combustible material (fuel for re) from heat sources. Keep the machine clean. Remove the following materials from areas of the machine that create heat:

• Pine needles • Twigs • Debris

• Shop rags • Oil spills • Coolant Mixture

• Leaves • Sticks • Grease

• Bark • Sawdust • Diesel fuel

Keep the machine clean. Risk of re increases if combustible materials and am-

mable materials build up on machine. This machine is not designed to house or store combustible materials.

Regularly remove ammable materials (such as diesel fuel, engine oil, hydraulic oil, and grease) from all areas of the machine. Clean up after working. Keep the fuel and hydraulic systems in good repair.

Check hydraulic hoses, fuel lines, and ttings for leaks. Tighten loose ttings. If hoses or lines are bent, kinked, or show signs of wear, install new parts. Check electrical connections to be sure they are clean and secure.

Frayed or worn insulation on battery cables or other wires may lead to electrical res. Check cables and wires and replace if insulation is frayed, worn, or damaged.

Keep water tank pressurized. Check hose for damage; replace if necessary. Make sure hose and valves are clear of rust or sediment and water can ow freely.

At the end of each shift ALWAYS stay with the machine for 30 minutes after shutting down

the engine to ensure there is no forest debris/trash re start up. Keep a re extinguisher ready during this 30 minute cool down.
