GENERATOR AR 6I4836 - Caterpillar

Fuel System
Fill the tractor 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.
If the tractor fuel tank has a drain, drain the water and sediment from the fuel tank at the start of a shift or after the fuel tank has been filled and allowed to stand for 5 to 10 minutes.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 help 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 Lubricant Specifications" section of the tractor guide.Hydraulic System
Make-up oil added to the tractor 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.
Consult your Caterpillar dealer for more complete information.General
Accumulated grease and oil on a machine 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 machine.
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.General Torque for Standard Bolts, Nuts and Taperlock Studs
The following charts give general torques for bolts, nuts and taperlock studs of SAE Grade 5 or better quality.
Torque for Bolts and Nuts With Standard Threads
Torque for Taperlock Studs
General Torque for Metric Fasteners
Be very careful never to mix metric with U.S customary fasteners. Mismatched or incorrect fasteners will cause machine damage or malfunction and may even result in personal injury.Original fasteners removed from the machine should be saved for reassembly whenever possible. If new fasteners are needed, they must be of the same size and grade as the ones that are being replaced.The material strength identification is usually shown on the bolt head by numbers (8.8, 10.9, etc.). The following chart gives standard torques for bolts and nuts with grade 8.8.
Standard Torque for Hose Clamps - Worm Drive Band Type
The following chart gives the torques for initial installation of hose clamps on new hose and for reassembly or retightening of hose clamps on existing hose.
