Introduction
The purpose of this document is to assist a qualified technician in assessing the successful integration of Site Positioning Equipment with the Cat® MineStar System.
Do not perform any procedure in this Special Instruction until you have read the information and you understand the information.
Important Safety Information
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 must also have the necessary training, skills, and tools to perform these functions properly. Safety precautions and warnings are provided in this instruction and on the product. If these hazard warnings are not heeded, bodily injury or death could occur to you or to other persons. Caterpillar cannot anticipate every possible circumstance of a potential hazard.
Therefore, the warnings in this publication and the warnings that are on the product are not all inclusive. Avoid using a tool, a procedure, a work method, or operating technique that is not recommended by Caterpillar. If used, ensure the safety of the operating personnel and others.

|
Do not operate or work on this machine unless you have read and understand the instructions and warnings in the Operation and Maintenance Manuals. Failure to follow the instructions or heed the warnings could result in injury or death. Contact your Cat dealer for replacement manuals. Proper care is your responsibility. |
 |
|
Electrocution Hazard! Keep the machine and attachments a safe distance from electrical power. Stay clear 3 m (10 ft) plus twice the line insulator length. Read and understand the instructions and warnings in the Operation and Maintenance Manual. Failure to follow the instructions and warnings will cause serious injury or death |
|
|
Accidental engine starting can cause injury or death to personnel working on the equipment. To avoid accidental engine starting, turn the battery disconnect switch to the OFF position. Remove the key for the battery disconnect switch. Use a secure padlock in order to lock the battery compartment access door. Place a Do Not Operate tag at the Start/Stop switch location to inform personnel that the equipment is being worked on. |
|
|
Personal injury or death can result from sudden machine movement. Sudden movement of the machine can cause injury to persons on or near the machine. Prevent possible injury by performing the procedure that follows before working on the machine. Move the machine to a smooth horizontal location. Move away from working machines and personnel and lower the implement to the ground. Permit only one operator on the machine. Keep all other personnel away from machine or in view of the operator. Engage the parking brake. Stop the engine. Move the hydraulic control levers to all positions to release the pressure in the hydraulic system. |
|
|
Personal injury or death can occur if personnel are trapped between the wheel and the frame. The steering system is hydraulically controlled and wheels can crush personnel during movement. Use caution when working between the wheels and the frame. If the wheels must be turned, ensure that all personnel are clear of the machine before any movement. |

Use steps and handholds whenever you mount the machine. Use steps and handholds whenever you dismount the machine. Before you mount the machine, clean the step and the handholds. Inspect the step and handholds. Make all necessary repairs.
Face the machine whenever you mount the machine and whenever you dismount the machine. Maintain a three-point contact with the step and with handholds.
Note: Three-point contact can be both feet and one hand or a single foot and two hands.
Do not mount a moving machine. Do not dismount a moving machine. Never jump off the machine. Do not try to mount the machine when you carry tools or supplies. Do not try to dismount the machine when you are carrying tools or supplies. Use a hand line to pull equipment onto the platform. Do not use any controls as handholds when you enter the cab or when you exit the cab.
Prerequisites
The following procedures assume that the parties involved with have the correct:
- Approval/Authorization
- Skills
- Health and Safety
- Documentation
- Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
- Tools
Note: Throughout the commissioning checkout, the machine will need to be electrically powered up. Only one of the procedures requires the engine to be running and the truck to be moved. A Qualified/authorized operator will be required to complete this check.
The following items will be required to complete this checkout:
- Screenshot of the site’s approved screen layout. The screen layout may vary depending on machine type (truck, loading tool, or auxiliary machine).
- Valid on-board login to access various features on the display.
- The unique assigned health interface module IP address for the machine being checked.
- Ability to access the machines on-board Ethernet network using a laptop.
Note: Typically this can be done through the wireless network. The machine is connected to the laptop will need to use a web browser to access a web server running on the health interface module.
- Username and password for the health interface module.
Note: This Procedure is only required if the security on the health interface module has been configured.
- Ability to access the office thick client, including a valid username and password.
- Multimeter capable of measuring 0-32 VDC.
Note: The checkout procedure assumes that the Config Menu key ($ConfigMenu) is activated in the display’s "Configuration" file. If this key is not set, this checkout cannot be completed.
