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 Tools and Shop Products Guide" for tools and supplies suitable to collect and contain fluids on Caterpillar products. Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates. |
Note: Intermittent leakage of a small amount of coolant from the weep hole is not an indication of water pump seal failure. Seepage is normal to ensure proper lubrication of the face of the water pump seal. Replace the water pump if excessive leakage is observed from the weep hole in the water pump housing.
- Identify the orientation of the bolts for the hose clamps for installation purposes. Loosen hose clamps (1) and (2). Slide the hose from cover (4).
