ALTERNATOR GP 10R6618 - Caterpillar

Do not overfill the crankcase to avoid engine damage.
1. The crankcase oil level dipstick is located under the engine hood on the engine. Unlatch and raise the engine hood. 2. Remove the dipstick to measure the oil level. The level can be measured by two methods.The oil level must be in the SAFE STARTING RANGE on the ENGINE STOPPED side of the dipstick.The oil level must be between the ADD and FULL marks on the ENGINE RUNNING side of the dipstick. 3. Remove the oil fill plug and add oil if necessary.4. Clean and install the fill plug.5. Close the hood.Engine Cooling System
Look at the Coolant Level
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 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.
1. Open the access cover. 2. Coolant level should be between the marks on the coolant reservoir. 3. If additional coolant is needed, open engine hood and remove the coolant fill cap slowly to relieve any pressure. 4. Inspect the condition of the cap gasket. Replace the cap gasket if necessary.5. Add coolant if necessary.6. Install the radiator cap.7. Close and latch engine hood.Alternator Belts
Check and/or adjust
1. Unlatch and raise the engine hood. 2. Inspect the condition and adjustment of the belts. Replace the belts if they are cracked or frayed. Replace the belts in sets if belt is damaged. 3. Measure the deflection of the belts. Apply approximately 110 N (25 lb) force midway between the pulleys. Each belt should deflect 14 to 20 mm (9/16 to 13/16 inch).To Adjust the Fan and Alternator Belts
1. Loosen the locking nut. 2. Turn the adjusting nut as required to loosen or tighten the belts. Tighten the locking nut. Check the adjustment.Hydraulic System
Check the Oil Level
At operating temperature, the hydraulic tank is hot and under pressure. Hot oil can cause burns.Remove the fill cap only when the engine is stopped, and the cap is cool enough to touch with your bare hand. Remove the fill cap slowly to relieve pressure.
Never remove the cap from the implement hydraulic tank if the oil is hot. Air can enter the system and cause pump damage.
1. The hydraulic oil tank is located on the right side of the machine.2. Stick and bucket cylinders must be fully extended and the bucket on the ground as shown. 3. If clamshell equipped: open clamshell with stick cylinder fully extended and the clamshell on the ground. 4. Maintain the oil level in the low temperature range for a cold machine and in the high temperature range for a machine at normal operating temperature. 5. Remove the stopper bolt next to the cap.6. Remove the cap slowly to relieve any pressure.7. Add oil if necessary.8. Clean and install the bolt and cap.Inspect Oil Leaks
