TAP-TAPER 4C5004 - Caterpillar

517-2235 Plate and Film Gp Or 522-5230 Plate and Film Gp
The 517-2235 (NACD) and the 522-5230 (EU) groups provide an extra varnish protection on the engine compartment, chassis internal, and non-painted metallic parts and a paint thickness which is more than two times the thickness of the standard paint, giving the machine extra resistance against corrosion.Differentiated paint process:
Primer coat is a yellow ester epoxy identical to the first coat of the standard paint process.
Extra primer coat number 1 is a black ester epoxy applied to the entire machine.
Extra primer coat number 2 is a yellow ester duo component epoxy applied to the entire machine.
Top coat is yellow polyurethane paint applied to the machine to complete the paint process.Note: Cab and wheel rims are also included in the paint process for extra protection.Maintenance
Caterpillar endeavors to use the best possible materials and processes to allow machines to operate in a difficult environment such as corrosive applications at a reasonable cost. However, some operating environments are too harsh for the technologies available. Caterpillar therefore recommends the actions listed below be carried out regularly to ensure that the machines will operate satisfactorily for long periods of time and at a reasonable cost.
Everyday
Park the machine in a dry, ventilated area whenever the machine is not being used.The cab doors and the cab windows should be closed during operation of the machine. The cab blower should be run at medium speed to prevent corrosive materials from entering the cab. This process may require more frequent cleaning of the cab filters.Clean the radiator frequently under the following conditions:
Dusty applications
Working with materials that plug.
Working with materials that stick.Every Week or Every Two Weeks
Note: Because of varying conditions, only actual experience in a particular application can dictate the adequate amount of maintenanceCleaning:
Remove the buildup of corrosive material by washing the machine with cold water. Use low water pressure with a maximum pressure of 100 bar (1450 psi).
Use compressed air to dry the machine completely.Greasing:When the machine is dry, immediately perform the following:
Apply grease to all other articulated areas. Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual for the machine.
Apply grease to the hood actuator.
Apply grease or spray oil in any area with friction.Inspect:1. Fuse box
Inspect the inside of the fuse box.
Apply 4C-9612 Silicone Sealant to all unsealed connector terminals.2. Other electrical connections
Inspect other sealed connections for damage or rust.
Inspect other unsealed connections for damage or rust, and repair with 4C-9612 Silicone Sealant. Detailed information about repair procedure is included in this manual.Every Month
Note: Because of varying conditions, only actual experience in a particular application can dictate the adequate amount of maintenance.
Apply the antirust products Tecty or Dinitrol to the following items: articulation joints and other joints: fenders, platforms, sheet metal, handholds, loader frames, hydraulic valves, and hoses.
Remove accumulated corrosive materials inside the compartments of the actuator group for the hood and the tool box.
Inspect the paint over the entire machine for damage. Detailed information about paint repair is included in this manual.Every Two Years
