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.
Become
familiar
with
all
warning
signs.
Ensure
that
all
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
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.
Correct
care
is
your
