HINGE ASSEM. (L.H.-Inner) 4V5033 - Caterpillar

Inspect the Tube for the Crankcase Breather
Illustration 1 g03787926
Typical example
Inspect the breather tube (1) for damage. Ensure that the outlet (2) is clean and free from any obstructions. Ice can cause an obstruction in the tube in adverse weather conditions. Inspect the Engine for Leaks and for Loose Connections
The guards must be in the correct place. Repair damaged guards or replace missing guards.
Wipe all caps and plugs before the engine is serviced in order to reduce the chance of system contamination.
For any type of leak (coolant, lube, or fuel) clean up the fluid. If leaking is observed, find the source and correct the leak. If leaking is suspected, check the fluid levels more often than recommended until the leak is found or fixed, or until the suspicion of a leak is proved to be unwarranted.
Accumulated grease and/or oil on an engine is a fire hazard. Remove the accumulated grease and oil. Refer to this Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Engine - Clean" for more information.
Ensure that the cooling system hoses are correctly clamped and that the cooling system hoses are tight. Check for leaks. Check the condition of all pipes.
Inspect the water pump for coolant leaks.Note: The water pump seal is lubricated by the coolant in the cooling system. It is normal for a small amount of leakage to occur as the engine cools down and the parts contract.Excessive coolant leakage may indicate the need to replace the water pump. Remove the water pump. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly , "Water Pump - Remove and Install". For more information, consult your Cat dealer.
Inspect the lubrication system for leaks at the front crankshaft seal, the rear crankshaft seal, the oil pan, the oil filters, and the rocker cover.
Inspect the piping for the air intake system and the elbows for cracks and for loose clamps. Ensure that hoses and tubes are not contacting other hoses, tubes, wiring harnesses.
Ensure that the areas around the rotating parts are clear.
Inspect the alternator belts and any accessory drive belts for cracks, breaks, or other damage.
Inspect the wiring harness for damage.Belts for multiple groove pulleys must be replaced as matched sets. If only one belt is replaced, the belt will carry more load than the belts that are not replaced. The older belts are stretched. The additional load on the new belt could cause the belt to break.High Pressure Fuel Lines
Contact with high pressure fuel may cause fluid penetration and burn hazards. High pressure fuel spray may cause a fire hazard. Failure to follow these inspection, maintenance and service instructions may cause personal injury or death.
After the engine has stopped, wait for 10 minutes in order to allow the fuel pressure to be purged from the high-pressure fuel lines before any service or repair is performed on the engine fuel lines. If necessary, perform minor adjustments. Repair any leaks from the low-pressure fuel system and from the cooling, lubrication, or air systems. Replace any high-pressure fuel line that has leaked. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly Manual, "Fuel
