CYLINDER GP-HYDRAULIC 4592050 - Caterpillar

Machine Stopping
Park on a level surface. If it is necessary to park on a grade, block the tracks securely.
The swing paring brake (if equipped) is automatically applied when the machine is shut down, but the brake is released as soon as implement control is activated with the engine running. 1. Turn the engine speed dial counterclockwise to reduce the engine speed. 2. Release the travel levers/pedals to stop the machine.3. Lower the implement to the ground and apply slight down pressure. 4. Move the hydraulic activation control lever to the LOCKED position.Freezing Conditions
If freezing temperatures are expected, each track roller frame should be cleaned of mud and dirt and the machine parked on wood planks. 1. Position the boom over one side of the machine. 2. Use boom down pressure in order to lift the track off the ground on that side. Operate the track in the forward direction. Then operate the track in the reverse direction. Continue this procedure until the maximum amount of material is thrown off the track.3. Lower the track onto the wood planks.4. Repeat the procedure for the other track.5. Clean the area around the carrier rollers and track rollers.6. Lower the implement onto a wood plank.Engine Stopping
Stopping the engine immediately after it has been working under load, can result in overheating and accelerated wear of the engine components.Refer to the following stopping procedure, to allow the engine to cool, and to prevent excessive temperatures in the turbocharger center housing, (if equipped) which could cause oil coking problems.
Never turn the battery disconnect switch to the OFF position while the engine is running. Serious damage to the electrical system may result.
1. With the machine stopped, run the engine for five minutes at LOW IDLE by turning the engine speed dial to "1". Stopping the engine immediately after it has been working under load, can result in overheating and accelerated wear of the engine components. 2. Turn the engine start switch key to the OFF position. Remove the key. Make sure the engine speed dial is set at "1" for the next starting.Leaving the Machine
1. Use the steps and the handholds when you dismount. When you dismount, face the machine and use both hands. Be sure that you clean any debris from the steps.2. Inspect the engine compartment for debris. Clean out any debris in order to avoid a fire.3. Remove all flammable debris from the front bottom guard through the access doors in order to reduce fire hazard. Discard the debris properly.4. When the machine is left for an extended period of one month or longer, turn the key for the battery disconnect switch to the OFF position. Remove the key. This will help to prevent a battery short circuit. Removing the key will also help to protect the battery from vandalism and from the current draw that is made by certain components. 6. Remove the bolt that holds the vandalism guards on the rear face of the control valve compartment. Remove the vandalism
