Cooling System Water Temperature Regulator - Replace

WARNING: Personal injury can result from hot coolant, steam and alkali.

NOTICE: Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting and repair of the product.

NOTICE: Failure to replace the engine's water temperature regulator on a regularly scheduled basis could cause severe engine damage.

NOTICE: Since Caterpillar engines incorporate a shunt design cooling system, it is mandatory to always operate the engine with a water temperature regulator.

Steps for Replacing Water Temperature Regulator

Only qualified service personnel should perform this maintenance. Refer to the Service Manual or your Caterpillar Dealer for the complete engine valve lash adjustment procedure.

WARNING: Be sure the engine cannot be started while this maintenance is being performed. To prevent possible injury, do not use the starting motor to turn the flywheel.

Hot engine components can cause burns. Allow additional time for the engine to cool before measuring/adjusting engine valve lash clearance.

NOTICE: Operation of Caterpillar Engines with improper engine valve lash adjustments will reduce the engine efficiency. This reduced efficiency could result in excessive fuel usage and/or shortened engine component life.

Measure the engine valve lash with the engine stopped. To obtain an accurate measurement, allow at least 20 minutes for the valves to cool to engine cylinder head and block temperature.

WARNING: Personal injury can result from contact with refrigerant. Contact with refrigerant can cause frost bite. Keep face and hands away to help prevent injury. Protective goggles must always be worn when refrigerant lines are opened, even if the gauges indicate the system is empty of refrigerant. Always use precaution when a fitting is removed. Slowly loosen the fitting. If the system is still under pressure, release it slowly in a well ventilated area.

Personal injury or death can result from inhaling refrigerant through a lit cigarette. Inhaling air conditioner refrigerant gas through a lit cigarette or other smoking method or inhaling fumes released from a flame contacting air conditioner refrigerant gas, can cause bodily harm or death. Do not smoke when servicing air conditioners or wherever refrigerant gas may be present.

Differential Oil Sample - Obtain

Hot oil and components can cause personal injury. Did you ensure not to allow hot oil or components to contact skin?

Did you ensure that fluids are contained during performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting and repair of the product?

Did you prepare to collect the fluid with suitable containers before opening any compartment or disassembling any component containing fluids?

Did you dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates?

Did you obtain a sample of oil from each axle and kept the oil samples separate from each other?

Did you clean the area around filler plug (1) for the differential?

Did you remove the filler plug and use a sampling gun in the filler hole in order to obtain an oil sample from the differential?

Did you inspect the filler plug for damage and install the filler plug?

Note: If a new belt is installed, check the film on the belt tensioner (2) after 30 minutes of operation. A belt is considered to be used after 30 minutes of operation.

1. Park the machine on level ground. Fully retract the boom and fully lower the boom. Move the transmission control to the NEUTRAL position and engage the parking brake. Shut off the engine.

3. Inspect the condition of belt (1).

4. Replace the belt if any of the following conditions exist:
