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.
NOTICE
To avoid damage to the vibratory system during testing,
always perform the testing with the vibratory drum on top
of tires or on loose dirt. Tires will simulate a non-
compacted soil condition.
Never operate the vibratory system when the machine is
on concrete.
NOTICE
If a testing time longer than three (3) minutes is required,
rotate the drum periodically in order to lubricate the
eccentric weight shaft bearings.
NOTE: The hydraulic oil temperature should be at least
38° C (100° F).
1.
Make sure that the parking brake is applied. Make sure
that the propel control lever is in neutral. Make sure that
the vibratory on/off control on the propel control lever is
in the OFF position.
