Fuel System
Fill the fuel tank at the end of each day of operation to drive out moist air and to prevent condensation.Do not fill the tank to the top. Fuel expands as it gets warm and may overflow.Do not fill the fuel filters with fuel before installing them. Contaminated fuel will cause accelerated wear to the fuel system parts.
Check the fuel level on the sight gauge.After changing the fuel filters, always prime the fuel system to remove air bubbles from the system.Drain water and sediment from any fuel storage tank weekly, and before the tank is refilled. This will prevent water or sediment being pumped from the storage tank into the machine fuel tank.Use only fuel as recommended in the "Coolant Fuel and Lubrication Specifications" section of this guide.Hydraulic System
Make-up oil added to the hydraulic tank must mix with the oil already in the system. Use only petroleum products unless the system is equipped for use with special products.If the hydraulic oil becomes cloudy, water or air is entering the system. Water or air in the system will cause pump failure. Drain the fluid, retighten all hydraulic suction line clamps, purge and refill the system. Consult your Caterpillar dealer for purging instructions.
Scheduled Oil Sampling (S O S)
Use Scheduled Oil Sampling (S O S) to monitor the condition and maintenance requirements of your equipment. Each oil sample should be taken when the oil is warm and well mixed, to ensure that the sample is representative of the oil in the compartment. When using the drain stream to obtain the oil sample, do not collect the sample from the first or final draining. Consult your Caterpillar dealer for complete information and assistance in establishing a Scheduled Oil Sampling program for your equipment.General
Accumulated grease and oil on a unit is a fire hazard. Remove this debris with steam cleaning or high pressure water, at least every 1000 hours or each time any significant quantity of oil is spilled on a unit.
Wipe all fittings, caps, and plugs before servicing.Keep a close watch for leaks. If leaking is observed, find the source and correct the leak.Check the fluid levels more frequently than the recommended periods if leaking is suspected or observed.
