Safety Messages
SMCS Code: 1000; 7405
There may be several specific safety messages on
your engine. The exact location and a description of
the safety messages are reviewed in this section.
Please become familiar with all of the safety
messages.
Ensure that all of the safety messages are legible.
Clean the safety messages or replace the safety
messages if the words cannot be read or if the
illustrations are not visible. Use a cloth, water, and
soap for cleaning the safety messages. Do not use
solvents, gasoline, or other harsh chemicals.
Solvents, gasoline, or harsh chemicals could loosen
the adhesive that secures the safety messages. The
safety messages that are loosened could drop off of
the engine.
Replace any safety message that is damaged or
missing. If a safety message is attached to a part of
the engine that is replaced, install a new safety
message on the replacement part. Your Caterpillar
dealer can provide new safety messages.

The removal of sulfur and other compounds in ultra-

conductivity of ULSD and increases the ability of
ULSD to store static charge. Refineries may have
treated the fuel with a static dissipating additive.
Many factors can reduce the effectiveness of the
additive over time. Static charges can build up in
ULSD fuel while the fuel is flowing through fuel
delivery systems. Static electricity discharge when
combustible vapors are present could result in a fire

Monitoring System
Override Switch
The override switch enables the operator to override
the monitoring system. The switch is provided for use
in emergency situations when an engine must be
operated at full capability immediately. Use of the
switch will override conditions of derating and/or
shutdown. However, an overspeed shutdown cannot
be overridden. The switch can also be used to
prevent an engine shutdown during critical
maneuvers.
The switch is a two-position “ON/OFF” switch that is
located in the Electronic Instrument Panel. When the
switch is in the “OFF” position, the monitoring system
will operate normally.
When the switch is in the “ON” position, the
monitoring system is disabled. All of the warnings will
continue to function normally. No derating will occur.
The overspeed shutdown will continue to
function normally. Except for the overspeed
shutdown, no shutdowns will occur. If the engine has
already had a shutdown, the engine can be restarted
when the switch is in the “ON” position. The alarm
conditions and events will continue to function
normally.
An event will be logged in the ECM when the switch
is placed in the “ON” position. Also, an event will be
logged in the ECM when the switch is returned to the
“OFF” position. No delay is required for use of the
switch.

Greases
If it is necessary to choose a single grease, always
choose a grease that meets or exceeds the
requirements of the most demanding application.
Remember that the products which barely meet the
minimum performance requirements can be
expected to barely produce the minimum lives of your
parts. False economy is being used if a grease is
purchased with the lowest cost as the only
consideration. Instead, use the grease that yields the
lowest total operating cost. The cost should be based
on an analysis that includes the costs of parts, labor,
downtime, and the cost of the amount of grease that
is required.

can cause excessive torsional vibrations.
A damper that is hot may be the result of excessive

SMCS Code: 1000 Using Fuel Consumption For Calculating
the Overhaul Intervals
Overhaul Intervals
Experience has shown that maintenance intervals
Some factors that are important for determining the are most accurately based on fuel consumption. Fuel
overhaul intervals include the following consumption corresponds more accurately to the
considerations: engine load. Tables 44 , 45 , and 46 list average
ranges of fuel consumption and service hours for
• Performance of preventive maintenance standard displacement engines. These tables are
based on a load factor of approximately 60 percent.
• Use of recommended lubricants
• Use of recommended coolants
• Operating conditions
• Operation within acceptable limits
• Engine load
• Engine speed
Generally, engines that are operated at a reduced
load and/or speed achieve more service life before
an overhaul. However, the engines must be operated
and maintained properly.
Other factors must also be considered for
determining a major overhaul:
• The total amount of fuel consumption
• The service hours of the engine
