SUPPORT ASSEM. 8P5933 - Caterpillar

Pressurized system: Hot coolant can cause serious burn. To open cap, stop engine, wait until radiator is cool. Then loosen cap slowly to relieve the pressure.
Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting and repair of the product. Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable containers before opening any compartment or disassembling any component containing fluids.Refer to Special Publication, NENG2500, "Caterpillar Dealer Service Tool Catalog" for tools and supplies suitable to collect and contain fluids on Caterpillar products.Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.
Topping off or mixing Cat ELC with other products that do not meet Caterpillar EC-1 specifications reduces the effectiveness of the coolant and shortens coolant service life.Use only Caterpillar products or commercial products that have passed the Caterpillar EC-1 specification for pre-mixed or concentrate coolants. Use only Extender with Cat ELC.Failure to follow these recommendations can result in shortened cooling system component life.
Reference: For information about adding Extender to your cooling system, refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Cooling System Coolant Extender (ELC) - Add" or consult your Caterpillar dealer.If an Extended Life Coolant was previously used, flush the cooling system with clean water. No other cleaning agents are required. Use the following procedure to change the Extended Life Coolant.

The cooling system pressure cap (2) is located under the access door (1) at the top rear of the machine.
Slowly loosen the cooling system pressure cap in order to relieve system pressure. Remove the cooling system pressure cap.
Place the drain hose (4) into a suitable container. Open the drain valve (5) on the bottom of the radiator. Allow the coolant to drain into a suitable container.Note: The Landfill Compactor is equipped with bottom guards. The radiator guard needs to be lowered in order to access the drain valve.
Flush the cooling system with clean water until the draining water is clean. Close the drain valve.
Replace the water temperature regulator.Reference: Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Cooling System Water Temperature Regulator - Replace" for the correct procedure.
Add the Extended Life Coolant.Reference: Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Capacities (Refill)" for the refill capacity of the cooling system.
Start the engine. Run the engine without the cooling system pressure cap until the water temperature regulator opens and the coolant level stabilizes.
Open the left rear access door in order to access the sight gauge. The sight gauge is located inside the left rear access door on the upper right side of the radiator tank. Maintain the coolant level in the sight gauge (3).
Install the cooling system pressure cap. Close the engine hood.
