Safety

------ WARNING! ------

At operating temperature, the hydraulic oil is hot and under pressure. Hot oils can cause burns.

To prevent possible personal injury, release the pressure in the work tool hydraulic circuit (boom, stick, bucket, and swing), travel circuits, and the hydraulic oil tank at the filler cap before any hydraulic lines or components are disconnected or removed.

Remove the filler cap only when the engine is stopped and the filler cap is cool enough to touch.



NOTICE

Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting and repair of the machine. 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 in Caterpillar machines.

Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.



NOTICE

Keep all parts clean from contaminants.

Contamination of the hydraulic system with foreign material will reduce the service life of the hydraulic system components.

To prevent contaminants from entering the hydraulic system, always plug or cap the lines, fittings, or hoses as they are disconnected. Cover any disassembled components and clean them properly before assembly.

Clean the hydraulic system properly after any major component exchange or especially after a component failure, to remove any contamination.


Work safely. Most accidents that involve product operation, maintenance, and repair are caused by failure to observe basic safety rules or precautions. An accident can often be avoided by recognizing potentially hazardous situations before an accident occurs. A person must be alert to potential hazards. This person should also have the necessary training, skills, and tools to perform these functions properly.

Machine Preparation

  1. Move the machine to a smooth horizontal location. Move the machine away from other machines and personnel. Lower the bucket to the ground. Stop the engine.

  2. Permit only one operator on the machine.

  3. Block the front tracks and the rear tracks of the machine.

  4. Place a barrier around the machine to keep personnel away from rotating machinery.

  5. Remove the bucket and/or any other worktools connected to the lift arms.

  6. If equipped with an Electronic Coupler, remove the two bolts that hold the guard onto the coupler assembly. Slide the guard out of place. Set aside for reinstallation.

Determining Fabrication Requirements (If Needed)

Some machines may have existing holes for installing parts in the 523-4907 Work Tool Positioner KitThis section is to determine if drilling is needed to install some of the parts.



    Illustration 1g03732737
    View from right side of machine

  1. Determine if your machine has existing holes inside the right-hand tower at circle (A) and on the right-hand lift arm at circle (B).

  2. If your machine has existing holes at both circle (A) and circle (B), disregard this section and proceed to the section titled "Installation Procedure".

  3. If your machine DOES NOT have one or both of the existing hole patterns above, proceed to the sections that follow.

  7. Secure 441-4814 Harness As (6) onto the Coupler by removing the existing 7X-0818 Bolt (C), 239-9833 Plate (D), and 140-1339 Clamp (E) on top of the coupler. Route 441-4814 Harness As (6) through the empty slot on the clamp closest to the right side of the machine. Reinstall the clamp, plate, and bolt. Repeat this process for the second clamp located underneath the Cross Plate that joins the lift arms.

    Note: The thicker portion of 441-4814 Harness As (6) should fit in between both sets of clamps as indicated in Illustrations 8 and 10. The thinner portion should be routed through the inside of the lift arms. This step ensures that the proper amount of slack is created to accommodate the rotation of the bucket and/or work tool.

RTD (Return to Dig) Machine Configuration (Optional)

Note: Ensure that the machine ECM has the latest software available installed. The Self-Level feature requires 464-6052 Machine Software Gp or later (See 361-6395 Electronics Gp).

The 523-4907 Work Tool Positioner Kit is a premium feature that must be configured using the Caterpillar Electronic Technician (Cat ET) Tool. This feature consists of two additional modes: "Work Tool Positioner" Mode enables the work tool to return automatically to an operator selectable preset angle. "Return to Dig" enables the work tool to both return automatically to an operator selectable preset angle and automatically lowers the lift arms to the stops. Refer to the proper Operation and Maintenance Manual for your machine for more information on using these modes.

  1. Connect the CAT ET tool to the machine. Turn the start key to the ON position. Do not start the engine.

  2. Start the CAT ET software and select the machine "ECM".

  3. From the menu select "Service" > "Configuration" > "Self Level" . Alternatively, press "F5" or click on the "Configuration" icon on the menu bar. Refer to "Machine Configuration" Illustrations 29 and 30.
