Safety Signs and Labels
There may be several specific warning signs on
an engine. The exact location of the hazards and
the description of the hazards are reviewed in this
section. Please become familiar with all warning
signs.
Ensure that all of the warning signs are legible. Clean
the warning signs or replace the warning signs if
the words cannot be read or if the pictures are not
visible. When the warning signs are cleaned, use a
cloth, water, and soap. Do not use solvent, gasoline,
or other harsh chemicals to clean the warning signs.
Solvents, gasoline, or harsh chemicals could loosen
the adhesive that secures the warning signs. The
warning signs that are loosened could drop off of
the engine.
Replace any damaged warning signs or missing
warning signs. If a warning sign is attached to a part
of the engine that is replaced, install a new warning
sign on the replacement part. Perkins dealers or
Perkins distributors can provide new warning signs.
Do not work on the engine and do not operate the
engine unless the instructions and warnings in the
Operation and Maintenance Manual are understood.
Proper care is your responsibility. Failure to follow
the instructions or failure to heed the warnings could
result in injury or in death.
The warning labels that may be found on the engine
are illustrated and described.
