When you perform maintenance above ground level,
use appropriate devices such as ladders or man lift
machines. If equipped, use the machine anchorage
points and use approved fall arrest harnesses and
lanyards.

Pressurized Air and Water

Pressurized air and/or water can cause debris and/or
hot water to be blown out. The debris and/or hot
water could result in personal injury.

When pressurized air and/or pressurized water is
used for cleaning, wear protective clothing, protective
shoes, and eye protection. Eye protection includes
goggles or a protective face shield.

The maximum air pressure for cleaning purposes
must be reduced to 205 kPa (30 psi) when the
nozzle is deadheaded and the nozzle is used with an

effective chip deflector and personal protective
equipment. The maximum water pressure for
cleaning purposes must be below 275 kPa (40 psi).

Make sure that all protective guards and all covers
are secured in place on the equipment.

Keep the equipment free from foreign material.
Remove debris, oil, tools, and other items from the

deck, from walkways, and from steps.

Secure all loose items such as lunch boxes, tools,
and other items that are not a part of the equipment.

Know the appropriate work site hand signals and the
personnel that are authorized to give the hand
signals. Accept hand signals from one person only.

Do not smoke when you service an air conditioner.
Also, do not smoke if refrigerant gas may be present.
Inhaling the fumes that are released from a flame that
contacts air conditioner refrigerant can cause bodily
harm or death. Inhaling gas from air conditioner
refrigerant through a lighted cigarette can cause
bodily harm or death.

Never put maintenance fluids into glass containers.
Drain all liquids into a suitable container.

Avoid direct spraying of water on electrical
connectors, connections, and components. When
using air for cleaning, allow the machine to cool to
reduce the possibility of fine debris igniting when re­deposited on hot surfaces.

Trapped Pressure

Pressure can be trapped in a hydraulic system.
Releasing trapped pressure can cause sudden
machine movement or attachment movement. Use

caution if you disconnect hydraulic lines or fittings.
High-pressure oil that is released can cause a hose
to whip. High-pressure oil that is released can cause
oil to spray. Fluid penetration can cause serious
injury and possible death.

Fluid Penetration

Pressure can be trapped in the hydraulic circuit long
after the machine has been stopped. The pressure
can cause hydraulic fluid or items such as pipe plugs
to escape rapidly if the pressure is not relieved
correctly.

Do not remove any hydraulic components or parts
until pressure has been relieved or personal injury
may occur. Do not disassemble any hydraulic
components or parts until pressure has been relieved
or personal injury may occur. Refer to the Service
Manual for any procedures that are required to
relieve the hydraulic pressure.

Asbestos Information

Cat equipment and replacement parts that are
shipped from Caterpillar are asbestos free.
Caterpillar recommends the use of only genuine Cat
replacement parts. Use the following guidelines when
you handle any replacement parts that contain
asbestos or when you handle asbestos debris.

Use caution. Avoid inhaling dust that might be
generated when you handle components that contain
asbestos fibers. Inhaling this dust can be hazardous
to your health. The components that may contain
asbestos fibers are brake pads, brake bands, lining
material, clutch plates, and some gaskets. The
asbestos that is used in these components is bound
in a resin or sealed in some way. Normal handling is
not hazardous unless airborne dust that contains

asbestos is generated.

If dust that may contain asbestos is present, there
are several guidelines that should be followed:

• Never use compressed air for cleaning.

• Avoid brushing materials that contain asbestos.

• Avoid grinding materials that contain asbestos.

• Use a wet method in order to clean up asbestos
materials.

• A vacuum cleaner that is equipped with a high
efficiency particulate air filter (HEPA) can also be
used.

SEBU8475-10

17

Safety Section

Crushing Prevention and Cutting Prevention

• 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. In the United States, use
Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) requirements. These OSHA requirements
can be found in “29 CFR 1910.1001”. In Japan,
use the requirements found in the “Ordinance on
Prevention of Health Impairment due to Asbestos”
in addition to the requirements of the Industrial
Safety and Health Act.

• Obey environmental regulations for the disposal of
asbestos.

• Stay away from areas that might have asbestos
particles in the air.

Dispose of Waste Properly

Do not work beneath the cab of the machine unless
the cab is properly supported.

Unless you are instructed otherwise, never attempt
adjustments while the machine is moving or while the
engine is running.

Never jump across the starter solenoid terminals in
order to start the engine. Unexpected machine
movement could result.

Whenever there are equipment control linkages the
clearance in the linkage area will change with the
movement of the equipment or the machine. Stay
clear of areas that may have a sudden change in
clearance with machine movement or equipment

movement.

Stay clear of all rotating and moving parts.

If it is necessary to remove guards in order to perform
maintenance, always install the guards after the
maintenance is performed.

Keep objects away from moving fan blades. The fan
blade will throw objects or cut objects.

Do not use a kinked wire cable or a frayed wire cable.
Wear gloves when you handle wire cable.

Illustration 25 g00706404

Improperly disposing of waste can threaten the
environment. Potentially harmful fluids should be

Prevention

SMCS Code: 7000

Illustration 26 g00704000

Do not smoke while checking the battery electrolyte
levels. Batteries give off flammable fumes which can
explode.

General

All fuels, most lubricants, and some coolant mixtures
are flammable.

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

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

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

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

Remove flammable material such as leaves, twigs,
papers, trash, and so on. 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 fire
suppression equipment, in case a fire should occur.

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

Fire Prevention and Explosion Prevention

Do not operate the machine near any flame.

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.

Do not weld or flame cut on tanks or lines that contain
flammable fluids or flammable material. Empty and

purge the lines and tanks. Then clean the lines and
tanks with a nonflammable solvent prior to welding or
flame cutting. Ensure that the components are
properly grounded in order to avoid unwanted arcs.

Dust that is generated from repairing nonmetallic
hoods or fenders may be flammable and/or
explosive. Repair such components in a well
ventilated area away from open flames 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 fires.

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

storing flammable materials.

Avoid static electricity risk when fueling. Ultra low
sulfur diesel (ULSD) poses a greater static ignition
hazard than earlier diesel formulations with a higher
sulfur content. Avoid death or serious injury from fire
or explosion. Consult with your fuel or fuel system
supplier to ensure that the delivery system is in
compliance with fueling standards for proper
grounding and bonding practices.

Never store flammable fluids in the operator
compartment of the machine.

Daily inspect battery cables that are in areas that are
visible. Inspect cables, clips, straps, and other
restraints for damage. Replace any damaged parts.
Check 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 fire hazard.

• 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 flammable fluids or combustible fluids should

be avoided.

Consult your Cat dealer for repair or for replacement
parts.

Keep wiring and electrical connections free of debris.

Lines, Tubes, and Hoses

Do not bend high-pressure lines. Do not strike high­pressure 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.

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
fires. Replace cables and related parts that show
signs of wear or damage. Contact your Cat
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

Illustration 29 g00687600

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 fluid 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 fluid 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 affected parts if any of the following
conditions are present:

• End fittings 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.

SEBU8475-10

Safety Section

Fire Safety

• Outer covers have exposed embedded armoring.

• End fittings are displaced.

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 fire hazard exists.
Repair any lines that are corroded, loose, or
damaged. Leaks may provide fuel for fires. Consult
your Cat dealer for repair or for replacement parts.
Use genuine Cat parts or the equivalent, for
capabilities of both the pressure limit and
temperature limit.

Ether

Ether (if equipped) is commonly used in cold-weather
applications. Ether is flammable and poisonous.

Only use approved Ether canisters for the Ether
dispensing system fitted to your machine, do not
spray Ether manually into an engine, follow the
correct cold engine starting procedures. Refer to the
section in the Operation and Maintenance Manual
with the label “Engine Starting” .

Use ether in ventilated areas. Do not smoke while
you are replacing an ether cylinder.

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 flames or sparks.

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

Fire Extinguisher

Note: Locate fire extinguishers and how to use a fire

extinguisher before you operate the machine.

If you find that you are involved in a machine fire,
your safety and that of others on site are the top
priority. The following actions should only be
performed if the actions do not present a danger or
risk to you and any nearby people. Assess the risk of
personal injury and move away to a safe distance as
soon as you feel unsafe.

Move the machine away from nearby combustible
material such as fuel/oil stations, structures, trash,

mulch, and timber.

Lower any implements and turn off the engine as
soon as possible. If you leave the engine running, the
engine will continue to feed a fire. The fire will be fed
from any damaged hoses that are attached to the
engine or pumps.

If possible, turn the battery disconnect switch to the
OFF position. Disconnecting the battery will remove
the ignition source in the event of an electrical short.
Disconnecting the battery will eliminate a second
ignition source if electrical wiring is damaged by the
fire, resulting in a short circuit.

Notify emergency personnel of the fire and your
location.

If your machine is equipped with a fire suppression
system, follow the manufacturers procedure for
activating the system.

Note: Fire suppression systems need to be regularly
inspected by qualified personnel. You must be
trained to operate the fire suppression system.

If you are unable to do anything else, shut off the
machine before exiting. By shutting off the machine,
fuels will not continue to be pumped into the fire.

If the fire grows out of control, be aware of the
following risks:

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

Be familiar with the operation of the fire extinguisher.
Inspect the fire extinguisher and service the fire
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.

Tire Information

SMCS Code: 7000

Explosions of air inflated tires have resulted from
heat-induced gas combustion inside the tires.
Explosions can be caused by heat that is generated
by welding, by heating rim components, by external
fire, or by excessive use of brakes.

A tire explosion is much more violent than a blowout.
The explosion can propel the tire, the rim
components, and the axle components from the
machine. Stay out of the trajectory path. Both the
force of the explosion and the flying debris can cause
property damage, personal injury, or death.

Caterpillar recommends against using water or
calcium as a ballast for the tires except in machines
designed for this additional mass. For those
applicable machines, the maintenance section will
contain instructions on the correct tire inflation and

filling procedures. Ballast, such as fluid in the tires,
increases overall machine weight and may affect
braking, steering, power train components, or the
certification of the protective structure such as the
ROPS. The use of tire/rim rust preventatives or other
liquid additives is not required.

Proper nitrogen inflation equipment, and training
in using the equipment, are necessary to avoid
over inflation. A tire blowout or rim failure can re-

sult from improper or misused equipment and
personal injury or death can occur.

A tire blowout and/or rim failure can occur if the
inflation equipment is not used correctly, due to

the fact that a fully charged nitrogen cylinder's
pressure is approximately 15000 kPa (2200 psi).

Dry nitrogen gas is recommended for inflation of
tires. If the tires were originally inflated with air,
nitrogen is still preferred for adjusting the pressure.
Nitrogen mixes properly with air.

Nitrogen inflated tires reduce the potential of a tire
explosion because nitrogen does not aid combustion.
Nitrogen helps to prevent oxidation of the rubber,
deterioration of rubber, and corrosion of rim

components.

Illustration 30 g02166933

Typical example of tire is shown

Do not approach a hot or an apparently damaged
tire.

To avoid overinflation, proper nitrogen inflation
equipment and training in the usage of the equipment
are necessary. A tire blowout or a rim failure can
result from improper equipment or from misused
equipment.

When you inflate a tire, stand behind the tread and
use a self-attaching chuck.

Servicing tires and rims can be dangerous. Only
trained personnel that use proper tools and proper
procedures should perform this maintenance. If
correct procedures are not used for servicing tires
and rims, the assemblies could burst with explosive
force. This explosive force can cause serious
personal injury or death. Carefully obey the specific
instructions from your tire dealer.

Slope Operation

SMCS Code: 7000

Machines that are operating safely in various
applications depend on these criteria: the machine
model, configuration, machine maintenance,
operating speed of the machine, conditions of the
terrain, fluid levels, and tire inflation pressures. The
most important criteria are the skill and judgment of
the operator.

A well trained operator that follows the instructions in
the Operation and Maintenance Manual has the
greatest impact on stability. Operator training
provides a person with the following abilities:
observation of working and environmental conditions,
feel for the machine, identification of potential
hazards and operating the machine safely by making
appropriate decisions.

When you work on side hills and when you work on
slopes, consider the following important points:

Speed of travel – At higher speeds, forces of inertia
tend to make the machine less stable.

Roughness of terrain or surface – The machine
may be less stable with uneven terrain.

SEBU8475-10

27

Safety Section

Equipment Lowering with Engine Stopped

Direction of travel – Avoid operating the machine
across the slope. When possible, operate the
machine up the slopes and operate the machine
down the slopes. Place the heaviest end of the
machine uphill when you are working on an incline.

Mounted equipment – Balance of the machine may
be impeded by the following components: equipment
that is mounted on the machine, machine

configuration, weights, and counterweights.

Nature of surface – Ground that has been newly
filled with earth may collapse from the weight of the
machine.

Surface material – Rocks and moisture of the
surface material may drastically affect the machine's

traction and machine's stability. Rocky surfaces may
promote side slipping of the machine.

Slippage due to excessive loads – This may cause
downhill tracks or downhill tires to dig into the ground,
which will increase the angle of the machine.

Width of tracks or tires – Narrower tracks or
narrower tires further increase the digging into the

ground which causes the machine to be less stable.

Implements attached to the drawbar – This may
decrease the weight on the uphill tracks. This may
also decrease the weight on the uphill tires. The
decreased weight will cause the machine to be less
stable.

Height of the working load of the machine – When
the working loads are in higher positions, the stability
of the machine is reduced.

Operated equipment – Be aware of performance
features of the equipment in operation and the effects
on machine stability.

Operating techniques – Keep all attachments or
pulled loads low to the ground for optimum stability.

Machine systems have limitations on slopes –
Slopes can affect the proper function and operation
of the various machine systems. These machine
systems are needed for machine control.

Engine Stopped

SMCS Code: 7000

Before lowering any equipment with the engine
stopped, clear the area around the equipment of all
personnel. The procedure to use will vary with the
type of equipment to be lowered. Keep in mind most
systems use a high pressure fluid or air to raise or
lower equipment. The procedure will cause high
pressure air, hydraulic, or some other media to be
released in order to lower the equipment. Wear
appropriate personal protective equipment and follow
the established procedure in the Operation and

Vibration Data for Backhoe Loaders

• Operator training, behavior, mode and stress

• Job site organization, preparation, environment,
weather and material

• Machine type, quality of the seat, quality of the
suspension system, attachments and condition of
the equipment

It is not possible to get precise vibration levels for this
machine. The expected vibration levels can be
estimated with the information in Table 3 in order to

calculate the daily vibration exposure. A simple
evaluation of the machine application can be used.

Estimate the vibration levels for the three vibration
directions. For typical operating conditions, use the

average vibration levels as the estimated level. With
an experienced operator and smooth terrain, subtract
the Scenario Factors from the average vibration level
in order to obtain the estimated vibration level. For

aggressive operations and severe terrain, add the
Scenario Factors to the average vibration level in
order to obtain the estimated vibration level.

Note: All vibration levels are in meter per second
squared.

Information Concerning Hand/Arm Vibration
Level

When the machine is operated according to the
intended use, the weighted root mean square (RMS)
acceleration emission of the machine to which the

arms are subjected have been measured as follows:

Rated Load

Rated loads were calculated with a machine that was
equipped with a standard bucket and no quick

coupler. If other combinations of work tools are used,
the difference between the weight of the work tool
and/or quick coupler and the standard bucket must
be subtracted from the rated loads.

Note: Rated loads should be used as a guide.
Attachments, uneven ground conditions, soft ground
conditions, or poor ground conditions have effects on
rated loads. The operator is responsible for being
aware of these effects.

Note: Incorrect tire pressures can affect the stability
of the load. Ensure that the tire pressures are correct
before you perform handling or loading operations.
Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, “Tire
Inflation Information” for more information.

This machine is equipped with a Caterpillar Prod­uct Link communication device. When electric

detonators are used, this communication device
should be deactivated within 12 m (40 ft) of a

blast site for satellite-based systems and within
3 m (10 ft) of a blast site for cellular based sys­tems, or within the distance mandated under ap­plicable legal requirements. Failure to do so
could cause interference with blasting operations
and result in serious injury or death.

In cases where the type of Product Link module
cannot be identified, Caterpillar recommends that
the device be disabled no less than 12 m (40 ft)
from the blast perimeter.

If the machine is required to work within 12 m (40 ft)
of a blast area, power to the Product Link module
must be disconnected.

capability is not needed. Only the front axle is
used to steer the machine. Use this mode when
you are roading the machine. When you are
operating the machine in this mode the indicator
light will not be on.

Circle Steer Mode – The Circle Steer

Mode provides reduced turning radii

and tighter operation in confined
spaces. The front and rear axles are used to steer
the machine. When you are operating the
machine in the Circle Steer mode, the indicator
light will come on.

Crab Steer Mode – The crab steer mode

allows the rear wheels to turn in the

same direction as the front wheels
which will allow the machine to move in a
diagonal direction. The front and rear axles are
used to steer the machine

NOTICE

Before changing from one steering mode to another,
always center both the front and rear wheels.

Before you return to the Two-Wheel Steer mode or to
the Circle Steer mode, the front wheels and rear

wheels must be centered. Observe the rear axle
