SEAL KIT- 8T1401 - Caterpillar

Sudden movement of the machine or release of air or oil under pressure can cause injury to persons on or near the machine. To prevent possible injury, do the procedure which follows before servicing the air system or brakes.
1. Move the machine to a smooth horizontal location. Move away from working machines and personnel.2. Permit only one operator on the machine. Keep all personnel either away from the machine or in view of the operator.3. Activate the secondary brake and parking brake. Lower the bucket to the ground. Put wood blocks in front of and behind the wheels. Stop the engine.4. Continuously push on the brake pedal until there is no more brake air pressure. When the pressure has been removed from the air circuit, there will be no pressure in the hydraulic circuit.5. Be sure all air pressure is released before any fitting, hose or component is loosened, tightened, removed or adjusted. Before any operational checks are made, open the drain valve to release any water in the air reservoir. Water lowers the capacity in the reservoir and can cause the air compressor to run constantly. Close the drain valve. 6. Remove the bolts and cover (1) from the bottom front of the cab.

Reinstall cover (1) at the bottom front of the cab. Tighten the bolts that hold the cover to a torque of 20 5 N m (15 4 lb ft).17. Start the machine, and check the operation of the brakes.Disassemble Brake Valves (Foot Operated)
Start By:a. remove brake valves (foot operated)1. Be sure the outside of the brake valve is thoroughly clean prior to disassembly.
There is spring force against retainer (3). The spring force will be released when retainer (3) is removed. To prevent possible personal injury, hold the retainer in position as it is being removed, and release the spring force slowly.
2. Remove retainer (3), piston assembly (2) and spring (1) from the valve body. 3. Remove O-ring seal (5) from the piston.4. Remove bolt (8) and the washer. Remove seat (7) and spring (6) from piston (4). 5. Use tool (A) to
