WARNING:
Keep away from parts which
rotate; the fan blades can appear invisible 
when the fan is rotating.
DO NOT pull or pry on the fan blades. This 
practice will cause fan failure. Use only 
approved methods and tools for manually 
rotating the engine.
WARNING:
Keep sparks and fires away
from batteries. Batteries produce hydrogen 
gas, which can explode and cause severe 
personal injury and property damage.
Battery fluid can burn the skin and injure the 
eyes. If you come in contact with battery acid, 
flush the affected area with large amounts of 
water and obtain medical assistance immediately.
WARNING:
Engine oil can cause skin
disorders and other personal injury. Avoid 
prolonged or repeated contact with both new 
and used engine oil.
WARNING:
Diesel fuel can cause skin
irritation. Use gloves or protective hand lotion 
when working on the fuel system.
WARNING:
Before beginning any
adjustments or repairs, place accident 
prevention tags in the operator’s compartment 
and on the controls, and disconnect the battery 
negative cable.
• DO NOT operate, clean, lubricate or
adjust the engine without proper training.
• NEVER attempt to perform an adjustment
or repair that is not understood.
• Before servicing, relieve pressure in
fuel, oil, coolant and hydraulic lines. 
Obtain medical assistance immediately 
if a high-pressure jet of fuel, oil, coolant 
or hydraulic fluid strikes the skin.
• DO NOT permit loose clothing, hair,
etc., near moving parts.
• Keep away from parts which rotate; fan
blades can appear invisible when the 
fan is rotating.
• To help prevent burns, avoid contact
with components that remain hot after 
power is turned off or disconnected.
• Some of the gaskets on the engine
contain asbestos. Breathing asbestos 
dust is dangerous to health and may 
cause severe bodily harm. Avoid 
creating dust and follow local directives 
for handling and disposing of materials 
that contain asbestos.
WARNING:
When replacement is
necessary, ALWAYS use factory-approved 
fasteners and parts.
