Preparing the Machine for Servicing

  1. Park the machine on a level surface.

  1. Apply the service brake in order to stop the machine. Move the transmission control lever to the NEUTRAL position.

  1. Move the speed control lever to the LOW IDLE position.

  1. Engage the parking brake.

  1. Engage the transmission neutral lock.

  1. Lower the loader assembly to the ground.



    Illustration 1g00287246

    Put the backhoe loader in the servicing position.

  1. Put the backhoe loader in the servicing position. The bucket must rest on the ground. Refer to Illustration 1.

    Note: Support the weight of the boom, stick, and bucket. Use the correct jacks or supports. Total weight of the boom, stick, and bucket is approximately 1000 kg (2205 lb).

  1. Stop the engine.

  1. Turn the engine start key to the OFF position. Remove the key.

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

    Hydraulic oil pressure can remain in the hydraulic systems after the engine and pump have been stopped. Serious injury can be caused if this pressure is not released before any service is done on the hydraulic systems. To prevent possible injury, refer to the section, Testing and Adjusting, "Hydraulic System Pressure - Release" before any fitting, hose or component is loosened, tightened, removed or adjusted.

    When possible, the bucket or attachment must always be lowered to the ground before service is started. When it is necessary for the boom to be in the raised position while tests or adjustments are done, be sure that the boom, stick and bucket or attachment have correct support.

    The swing lock (if equipped) must be engaged before service is started.

    Always move the machine to a location away from the travel of other machines. Be sure that other personnel are not near the machine when the engine is running and tests or adjustments are being made.

    ----------------------

  1. Move the hydraulic control levers back and forth in order to relieve the hydraulic pressure in the system.

  1. Move the hydraulic control levers to the HOLD position.

    Note: The pressure in the hydraulic system has now been released. Hydraulic lines and components can now be removed.

  1. Place chocks in front of the rear wheels and behind the rear wheels.

Gaining Access to the Hydraulic Lines

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

Personal injury can result from hydraulic oil pressure and hot oil.

Hydraulic oil pressure can remain in the hydraulic system after the engine has been stopped. Serious injury can be caused if this pressure is not released before any service is done on the hydraulic system.

Make sure all of the attachments have been lowered to the ground, and the oil is cool before removing any components or lines. Remove the oil filler cap only when the engine is stopped, and the filler cap is cool enough to touch with your bare hand.

----------------------


NOTICE

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.


  1. Release the hydraulic pressure. Refer to ""Preparing the Machine for Servicing" ".

Testing the Hydraulic System

  1. Tighten all of the new hose connections.

  1. Fill the hydraulic system oil tank according to the Operation and Maintenance Manual for your machine.

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

    Personal injury or death can result from improperly checking for a leak.

    Always use a board or cardboard when checking for a leak. Escaping air or fluid under pressure, even a pin-hole size leak, can penetrate body tissue causing serious injury, and possible death.

    If fluid is injected into your skin, it must be treated immediately by a doctor familiar with this type of injury.

    ----------------------

  1. Test and adjust the hydraulic system. Refer to the Test and Adjusting manual for your machine.

  1. Secure the floorplate and secure the floormat in the cab when all repairs and tests are finished.

Welding the Plate to the Boom

Welding Specifications

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

Personal injury or death can result from fumes, gases and ultraviolet rays from the weld arc.

Welding can cause fumes, burn skin and produce ultraviolet rays.

Keep your head out of the fumes. Use ventilation, exhaust at the arc, or both, to keep fumes and gases from your breathing area. Wear eye, ear and body protection before working.

Protect yourself and others; read and understand this warning. Fumes and gases can be dangerous to your health. Ultraviolet rays from the weld arc can injure eyes and burn skin. Electric shock can cause death.

Read and understand the manufacturer's instructions and your employer's safety practices. Do not touch live electrical parts.

----------------------

Welding quality is critical to the success of adding the 106-0425 Plate (64) to the boom. Welds must be smooth and continuous. No undercutting is allowed. No overlap is allowed. Grind the ends of the welds to a smooth radius.

Prepare the metal for welding according to the section ""Welding Procedures" ". Refer to the illustrations in this special instruction for welding symbols and specifications.

Use a 1U-5236 Welding Rod or an equivalent electrode to weld the plate (64) to the boom. Basic welding wire ESAB OK tubrod 15.00 with a 1.2 mm (0.05 inch) diameter can also be used. The basic welding wire must be the equivalent to AWS A5.20 E71T-1 with positive polarity. The welding wire must be protected with CO2 gas.

All electrodes must be completely dried. The electrodes can be dried by heating the electrodes to 300 °C (572 °F). The electrodes must be dried for at least 30 minutes.

Do not weld in windy conditions. Do not weld when temperatures are below 16 °C (61 °F).

Penetration characteristics may vary greatly depending on the electrode diameter, shielding gas, welding current, and plate thickness. Geometry of the welded joints, surface conditions, and composition of the base metal and electrode also affect the welds.

For more welding information, consult the Caterpillar Service Welding Guide, SEBD0512.

Welding Procedures

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

    Personal injury can result from flame cutting or welding on painted areas.

    The effect of gasses from burned paint is a hazard to the person doing the cutting or welding.

    Do not flame cut or weld on painted areas.

    ----------------------


    NOTICE

    Before carrying out arc welding on the machine or on any equipment attached to the machine, disconnect all power and ground leads from the batteries in order to avoid possible damage to electronic components.

    Weld the 106-0425 Plate (64) to this position on the boom (HH) .




    Illustration 12g00666264

    Prepare the shaded area for welding.

  1. Disconnect the battery from the electrical system.

  1. Cover the boom and surrounding components in order to protect the parts from welding spatters and paint spatters.

  1. Remove all paint, rust, dirt, and scale from the metal. The material can be removed by using a wire brush or by buffing or grinding. Refer to Illustrations 11 and 12.

  1. Remove any oil or grease with an approved solvent.

  1. Position the plate on the boom. Jacks and other supports can be used to hold the plate in place while the welding procedures are being conducted.

    Weld the plate (64) to the boom (HH). Weld around the plate from point (64A) to point (64B) .

  1. Weld the plate (64) to the boom (HH) by using a 1U-5236 Welding Rod . Weld from point (64A) to point (64B) in one continuous weld. Refer to Illustration 13 for more information.

  1. Grind the ends of the welds to a smooth finish.

  1. Shot blast all the welded areas.

  1. Paint the weld, the boom, and the plate. Use an authorized Caterpillar paint.

  1. Remove all the protective covers from the boom.
