CAT Vibratory Compactor CS-663E

Damage to the crankshaft vibration damper or failure of the crankshaft vibration damper can increase torsional vibrations. This can result in damage to the crankshaft and to other engine components. A deteriorating damper can cause excessive gear train noise at variable points in the speed range.

The damper is mounted to the crankshaft on the front of the engine.

Visually inspect the crankshaft vibration damper for damage.

Check the bolts for proper tightness.

Close the engine compartment.;

The vibratory support is located on the right side of the drum.

Drain plug (1) is located at the bottom.

Remove drain plug (1). Drain the oil into a suitable container.

Dispose of the oil in an acceptable manner.

Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, “General Hazard Information” for information that pertains to containing fluid spillage.

After the oil is drained, clean the drain plug. Install drain plug (1).

Filler plug (2) is located at the top of the support.

When a machine is equipped with a VPM gauge sensor, there is a guard over the fill port hole. The level check plug can be used as a filler plug in this case.

Remove filler plug(2) and the level check plug (3).

Warning: At operating temperature, the engine coolant is hot and under pressure. Steam can cause personal injury.

Check the coolant level only after the engine has been stopped and the fill cap is cool enough to touch with your bare hand.

Remove the fill cap slowly to relieve pressure.

Cooling system conditioner contains alkali. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes to prevent personal injury.

When a Caterpillar Extended Life Coolant (ELC) is used, an Extender must be added to the cooling system.

Use a 8T-526 Coolant Test Kit to check the concentration of the coolant.

Refer to the Special Publication, SEBU6250, “Caterpillar Machines Fluids Recommendations” “Cooling System Specifications” for more information about the addition of Extender.

NOTICE: Topping off or mixing Cat ELC with other products that do not meet Caterpillar EC-1 specifications reduces the effectiveness of the coolant and shortens coolant service life.

Use only Caterpillar products or commercial products that have passed the Caterpillar EC-1 specification for pre-mixed or concentrate coolants. Use only Extender with Cat ELC.
