WASHER 2F7298 - Caterpillar

4. Reduce the engine speed, move the transmission to NEUTRAL. Lower the bucket to the ground and stop the engine.
If the machine moved while testing the parking brakes, contact your Caterpillar dealer. Have the dealer inspect and, if necessary, repair the parking brakes before returning the machine to operation.
Test Brake Accumulator
1. Turn the engine start switch key to ON.
Computerized Monitoring System (If Equipped).
Caterpillar Monitoring System.2. The brake oil pressure alert indicator should come on if not at normal operating pressure.3. Start and run the engine at half speed for two minutes to increase the accumulator pressure. The brake oil pressure alert indicator should go off. Stop the engine.4. Apply and release the service brake pedal, to decrease the accumulator pressure, until the brake oil pressure alert indicator comes on (minimum of five applications).
Caterpillar Monitoring System.5. The parking brake indicator light (on Caterpillar Monitoring System machines only) will be on when the brake oil pressure indicator light comes on.6. If the brake oil indicator light comes on with less than five applications of the brake, measure the accumulator nitrogen precharge pressure. Your Caterpillar dealer is equipped to measure the nitrogen gas pressure in the accumulator. Use only dry nitrogen gas for recharging.Drive Shaft Spline
Lubricate Fitting
Wipe all fittings before lubricating.1. Start the engine, raise the bucket, release the parking brake and articulate the machine full right or left. 2. Lower the bucket to the ground, engage the parking brake and stop the engine. 3. Lubricate one fitting on the drive shaft spline.Air Conditioner (If Equipped)
Inhaling air conditioner refrigerant gas through a lit cigarette or other smoking method or inhaling fumes released from a flame contacting air conditioner refrigerant gas can cause bodily harm or death. Do not smoke when servicing air conditioners or wherever refrigerant gas may be present.
Test Operation - Adjust Belt
1. Start the engine. Operate the engine at high idle. 2. Set the air conditioner control for maximum cooling, and fan control on HIGH.3. Allow two minutes for the air conditioning system to stabilize. 4. Check for refrigerant in the system as follows: Feel the suction line (1) and the discharge line (2).If the system contains refrigerant, the discharge line will be warmer than the suction line.If the system does not contain, or is very low on refrigerant, poor cooling will result.5. Stop the engine to inspect the compressor belt. 6. Inspect the condition and the adjustment of the compressor belt. The belt should deflect 14 to 20 mm (.56 to .81 in) under 110 N (25 lb) force.To Adjust
1. Loosen the compressor locknut. 2. Move the compressor until the correct belt tension is reached. 3. Tighten the compressor locknut.4. Recheck the belt adjustment.5. Repeat steps 1 through 3 of operation test.6. If poor cooling is still experienced after starting engine, turn off the air conditioner. Stop the engine. Contact your Caterpillar dealer for air conditioner system service, if necessary.Fan and Alternator Belts
Inspect/Adjust/Replace
1. Open the engine access door on the left side of the machine. Replace the belts
