HARNESS AS-CONSOLE 1673701 - Caterpillar

specifications in this book are given on the basis of information that was current at the time the book was written. These specifications give the torques, operating pressures, measurements of new parts and other items. When the word "permissible" is used in the description, the specification value given is the "maximum or minimum" normally permitted before adjustment, repair and/or new parts are needed. Make a comparison of the measurements of a worn part with the specifications of a new part to find the amount of wear. The wear factor is not the only basis for the replacement of parts. The expected service life of the worn part is a factor. A part that is worn can be safe to use if an estimate of the remainder of its service life is good. When a disassembly is made for the purpose of reconditioning, the recommendation is the replacement of parts not completely worn out if a short service life is expected. For Systems Operation and Testing and Adjusting, make reference to the 992 STEERING AND BRAKE SYSTEMS, Form REG01565.
