CLAMP 1710500 - Caterpillar

Illustration 1. 6V4810 Tool Group.The design of the 6V4810 Tool Group permits the four tools of the group to be placed on top of each other for storage. To prevent the loss of the individual tools, a bead chain is used to keep them together.
The tight fit of the contacts in the connector insulator and the rubber seal make it necessary that a "feel" be developed for the technique required. Because of the small size of the contacts and the tools, especially the smallest contact and the small 6V4812 Insertion Tool, extra care must be used to prevent damage to the tools.
Special Instruction, Form SEHS8038 has all the information needed to remove, repair, make a replacement and change the location of a contact within the connector.
The chart that follows shows which tool to use for the different size contacts.
The complete 6V4810 Tool Group as well as separate parts of the group are available and can be ordered as needed. When replacement connector body parts are needed, make reference to the Parts Book for your machine or engine.
