FILM 6V3465 - Caterpillar

Personal injury or death can result from sudden suspension cylinder movement.Sudden movement, up or down, can cause the clearance above your head to change rapidly.Read all warning labels on the suspension cylinders before servicing. Do not check the oil in the suspension cylinder until all the nitrogen pressure has been released.Do not, under any condition, remove valves, cover or plugs from the cylinder unless the rod is fully retracted and all the nitrogen pressure is released.Do not stand under the machine when testing or adjusting the suspension cylinders.
Charging dimensions for a suspension cylinder which has been purged Charge with oil ... 13 mm (0.5 inch) Full charge of oil and nitrogen ... 127 6 mm (5.0 0.25 inch)Note: Approximately 13.1 L (3.45 US gal) of SAE 10W oil with the current service classification is necessary in order to charge a cylinder. Use FT1975 Gauge Block in order to achieve the dimension for the full charge of oil and nitrogen. See Testing and Adjusting, "Suspension Cylinder (Rear) - Purge and Charge" for the charging procedure.

Section B-BSection C-C (7) Pin Outside diameter of pin ... 159.875 0.038 mm (6.2943 0.0015 inch) (8) Bolt Final torque for 24 bolts ... 1800 200 N m (1330 150 lb ft)Note: Apply a coat of 5P-3931 Anti-Seize Compound to the bolts prior to assembly.Note: Tighten 24 bolts (8) to the desired torque. Apply an impact to the bolted joint with enough sufficient force in order to cause the torque to drop to less than 950 N m (701 lb ft). Tighten bolt (8) to the desired torque. Now apply a second impact to the bolted joint with enough sufficient force in order to cause the torque to drop to less than 1600 N m (1180 lb ft). Tighten bolt (8) to the final desired torque. (9) Pin Outside diameter of the pins ... 159.875 0.038 mm (6.2943 0.0015 inch)Note: Apply a coat of 5P-3931 Anti-Seize Compound to the inner diameter of the collet prior to assembly with the pin. Apply 7M-7456 Compound to the seal (four places per link) before assembly with the bearing.
