Setup - Utility Belt begins the game on the green line. After forces are revealed, attach up to one Utility Belt Costume [costume symbol] if the Costume Slot is active and as many Utility Belt Items [belt symbol] as there are active slots (no more than three of any specific Utility Belt Item). The Utility Belt has no KO click and may rotate past the starting line.

HIDDEN CACHE: At the beginning of your turn, you may activate an inactive slot. In addition, you may replace or attach any one Utility Belt Item or Costume to the Utility Belt. At the end of the turn, roll a d6 to turn the dial as described above even if the character does not take a non-free action.
I have shark repellent spray in slots 1, 2, and 3 when Hidden Cache is revealed. Can I replace the item in slot 4 with shark repellent spray? The limit of three of the same object only seems to apply to setup at the beginning of the game but not after.

No, you are still limited to 3 of any specific Utility belt item. Even though it is in the setup section, it still applies when adding via Hidden Cache
If you start the game with only paying for 3 slots, can you put an item in a 4th slot with Hidden Cache?
Yes, it specifically states you can activate an inactive slot.

I actually noticed this, too, when I was playing this last Friday.
The wording does not disallow it, but I'd say intention does.
So then, you can definitely never get more than 4 of an item? Is there any existing rules text that supports that or will it be added to the next PG?
Sent it upstairs!

Agreed.
