PLATE AS-SIDE 3318824 - Caterpillar

Rework Procedure
Before performing this procedure, the Power Train Electrical System Service Shutdown procedure must be performed to verify that the voltage in the system components is discharged.
Refer to the Troubleshooting, "Electrical Shutdown and Voltage Discharge" section of the manual in order to perform the Power Train Electrical System Service Shutdown procedure.
Before performing this procedure, ensure that the Engine Lockout Control is in the ON position (lock out) and the Battery Disconnect Switch is in the OFF position (battery negative disconnected). Lock and tag both of the disconnects.
Note: This procedure will require manual rotation of the truck engine in order to rotate the Generator Rotating Rectifier Assembly. A manual 279-3473 Barring Device tool or an air powered 329-3831 Barring Group tool should be used to rotate the Engine and the Rotating Rectifier Assembly during this procedure. Install the barring tool according to the installation and operating instructions that are provided with the tool.
