Minimizes downtime through scheduled maintenance
Locates potential problems
Finds overlooked problems
Enables scheduled maintenance and repairs
Lowers owning and operating costs
Guidelines:
Wiring Harness Inspection Guidelines
Check for tubes, hoses, and wiring harnesses rubbing against:
One another
Sharp corners
Bolt heads
Check for tubes, hoses, and wiring harness not properly secured:
Missing clips and/or wire ties
P-clips not attached
1. Inspection Preparation:
Look for grease and dust buildup around the piston; leakage in this area indicates piston lip seal or piston rod may be worn or damaged
Check track adjuster grease fitting for damage
2.4 Inspect carrier rollers for:
Oil leakage in the following areas:
On the sealing surface between the front cover and the roller
From the duo-cone seal located on the backside of the carrier roller
Excessive wear on the surface where the track link rides on the carrier roller
2.5 Inspect track rollers for:
Oil leakage in the following areas:
From the duo-cone seals located on the front and backside of the track roller
At each end of the track roller shaft; leakage in this area indicates the O-ring seal located on the track roller shaft may worn or
damaged
Excessive wear on the surface where the track link rides on the track roller
2.6 Inspect front idlers for:
Oil leakage from the following areas:
From the duo-cone seals located on the front and backside of the idler
At each end of the track idler shaft; leakage in this area indicates the O-ring seal located on the shaft may be worn or damaged
Excessive wear on the surfaces of the idler where the track link rides on the idler
2.7 Inspect the track guides for:
Damaged, missing, or loose bolts
Damage to track guide
2.8 Inspect the track shoes for:
Damaged, missing, or loose bolts
Damaged or worn track shoes
2.9 Inspect track links, pins, and bushings for:
Damaged or missing cotter pins in the master links
Excessive wear on contact surface of track links
Excessive noise in the track during machine operation
If excessive noise is noticed, check for temperature variances between the pins. To do this, touch the end of the pins with your
hand or use an infrared thermometer. Large temperature variances may indicate a dry joint in the link.
2.10 Inspect the track roller frames and carbody for:
Damage to frame
Structural cracks
Cracked welds
2.11 Inspect engine oil pan for:
Oil accumulation on the bottom of the oil pan. If oil is found on the pan, remove the bottom guard and inspect the following:
Check for leaks around the oil pan mounting flange
Check for leaks around the oil level sensor, drain valve, and the dipstick tube
Check the wiring harnesses and hoses located in the engine compartment for wear and/or damage
