 WORK SAFELY - FOLLOW THESE RULES
A.This symbol is used to call your attention to instructions concerning
. . your personal safety. Be sure to observe and follow these instructions.
1. Always use safety stands in conjunction
with hydraulic jacks or hoists. Do not/rely on
the jack or hoist to carry the load, they could
fail.
2. Always wear safety glasses when using a
hammer, chisel or other tools that may cause
chips to fly.
3. Keep work area organized and clean. Wipe
up oil or spills of any kind. Keep tools and
parts off of the floor. Eliminate the possibility
of a fall which could result in a serious injury.
GSS·1432 (Rev. No.2)

4. When splitting tractors, or disassembling
machines, be sure to use safety stands and
adequate supports to prevent tipping or roll-
over.
FESIII-9718
5. Use a safety catch on all hoist hooks. Dq
not take a chance, the load could slip off of the
hook.
6. When using an acetylene torch always wear
welding goggles and gloves. Keep a "charged"
fire extinguisher within reach. Be sure the
acetylene and oxygen tanks are separated by a
metal shield and are chained to the cart. Do
not weld or heat areas near fuel tanks or fuel
lines and utilize proper shielding around hyd-
raulic tanks or hydraulic lines.

Install the oil pump screen to the oil
pump body maintaining a specified
6-1/2-inch distance above the pan rails.
Torque the oil pump screen tube lock-
nut to 20 ft. lbs.
Pressure Checking Engine Oil Cooler
1. Adapter plates (made up locally)
1-65
The oil pump screen should be checked
for proper location. This can be ac-
complished by placing a straight edge
across the pan rails of the crankcase
and with a scale check the distance
from the bottom of the straight edge to
the top of the oil pump screen on both
sides.
The oil pump screen must be parallel and
to a specified 6-1/2-inch distance above
the pan rails. In the event the oil pump
screen requires adjustment, loosen the
oil pump screen tube locknut and rotate
the screen in the pump body to obtain the
correct setting. Then torque the locknut
to 20 ft. lbs.
1. Install test plates (made locally)
with gasket, pressure gauge, air control
valve and quick connect air coupler.
2. Immerse oil cooler assembly in a
container of water, preferably to a tem-
perature of 1500 F to stabilize metal parts
of the cooler.
3. Apply 80 lbs. of air pressure while
the oil cooler is immersed in water.
This pressure is sufficient to detect any
internal leaks.
A CAUTION: Use adequate safety
precautions when performing the
oil cooler pressure test. ,
