Repair
Accidental machine starting can cause injury
or even death to personnel working on a
Compact Track Loader.
As a precaution, disconnect the battery cables from
the battery terminals, tape the battery clamps and
remove the key from the ignition switch prior to
performing any service work on a Compact Track
Loader.
Place a "Do Not Operate" tag prominently on the
machine to inform personnel that the machine is
being serviced.
1. Disconnect the battery and discharge any
capacitor before beginning work on a machine.
Attach a Do Not Operate tag in the cab to alert
any operator that service is in progress.
2. If possible, make all repairs with the machine
parked on a level, hard surface. Use blocks to
prevent the machine from rolling while working on
or under the machine.
3. Do not work on or under any machine that is
supported only by a hydraulic jack or hoist. Always
use suitable mechanical supports to ensure that
the machine will not fall.
4. Make sure the work area around the machine is
safe and make yourself aware of any hazardous
conditions that may exist. If the engine needs to
be started inside an enclosure, make sure that the
engine's exhaust is properly vented.
5. Be sure all protective devices including guards and
shields are properly installed and functioning
correctly before beginning any service task. If a
guard or shield must be removed to perform the
repair work, use extra caution.
6. Always use the appropriate tools for the work to be
performed. Tools should be in good condition and
you should understand how to use them properly
before performing any service work.
7. When replacing fasteners, use parts of equivalent
grade and size. Do not use a lesser quality
fastener if replacements are necessary.
8. Be prepared to stop an engine if it has been
re-cently overhauled or the fuel system has been
recently serviced. If the engine has not been
assembled correctly, or if the fuel settings are not
correct, the engine can possibly overspeed and
cause bodily injury, death or property damage. Be
prepared to shut off the fuel and air supply to the
engine in order to stop the engine.
9. Be careful when removing cover plates. Back off
the last two bolts or nuts located on opposite sides
of the cover slightly, but leave them threaded in
place. Then, pry the cover loose to relieve any
spring or other pressure before removing the last
two nuts or bolts completely.
10. Repairs requiring welding should be performed
only by personnel adequately trained and
knowledgeable in welding procedures and with the
guidance of appropriate reference information.
Determine the type of metal being welded and
select the correct welding procedure and filler
material to provide a weld that is as strong or
stronger than the original weld.
11. Take precautions to avoid damaging wiring during
removal and installation operations. Carefully route
wires so that they will not contact sharp corners,
objects or hot surfaces during operation.
12. When performing service that requires the lift arms
to be in the raised position, always utilize the lift
arm brace located on the rear of the loader tower.
13. Relieve hydraulic system pressure by relaxing all
hydraulic actuators prior to attempting any
hydraulic maintenance or repair.
14. Always tighten connections to the correct torque
specification. Make sure that all shields, clamps
and guards are installed correctly to avoid
excessive heat, vibration or unwanted contact
between parts during operation. Shields that
protect exhaust components from oil spray in
event of a line, tube or seal failure must be cor-
rectly installed.
15. Do not operate a machine if any rotating part is
damaged or contacts other parts during operation.
Any high speed rotating component that has been
damaged or altered should be checked for balance
before reusing. Make sure all protective devices,
including guards and shields, are properly installed
and functioning correctly before starting the engine
or operating the machine.
When replacement parts are required for your
machine, use only genuine Terex replacement
parts or parts that meet or exceed original
specifications including, but not limited to physical
dimensions, type, strength and material.
Installing lesser components can lead to premature
failures, product damage, personal injury or death.
