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 "Tools
And Shop Products Guide", NENG2500 for tools and supplies suitable to collect and contain fluids in
Caterpillar machines. Dispose fluids according to local regulations and mandates.
NOTE: Put identification on all lines, hoses, wires and tubes for installation purposes. Cap and plug
all connectors, lines, hoses and tubes to prevent the loss of oil and keep foreign material from entering
the system.
