PANEL GP-FUSE 4401135 - Caterpillar

Cleaning Procedure
Wash pressure plates with clean solvent made from petroleum. Be careful not to damage the bronze face during the procedure. Removing oil discoloration is not necessary. Remove carbon deposits with the 6V-6050 Ultrasonic Cleaner Group.Inspection Procedure

Carbon deposits on the bronze face
USE AGAINUse again after the carbon is removed by ultrasonic cleaning and if the plate is not bent. See Illustration 61. Refer to Table 9 for Specifications.Small surface marks on the bronze face can be removed by a procedure known as "touch lapping". To touch lap, cover surface plate 7B-0337 Surface Plate with 180 grit crocus cloth. Wet the cloth thoroughly with clean solvent (made from petroleum). Take the part to be touch lapped and put the part on the wet cloth with the surface to be touch lapped toward the cloth. Move the part in the shape of the number "8". When the procedure is finished, wash the part in clean solvent and allow to dry at room temperature.

Measure pressure plate flatness
Note: To see if the plates are flat, hold the plates with bronze surfaces turned toward each other. If a 0.18 mm (0.007 inch) feeler gauge fits between the plates, the plates are too bent and no longer acceptable.
