Fluid Spillage Containment
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.

2. Disconnect two hoses (2) from the aftercooler housing. Cap and plug all openings immediately.
3. Disconnect fuel vent line (3). Cap and plug all openings immediately.
4. Loosen three hidden bolts (4). (One bolt not shown).
5. Remove five bolts and washers (5).
NOTE: Upon installation, tighten the bolts in Steps 4 and 5 as follows:
a. Tighten bolts marked (3) and (4) in the illustration above, to a torque of 20 ± 7 N·m (15 ± 5 lb ft).
b. Tighten bolts marked (1) thru (8) in the illustration above, by numerical sequence to a torque of 43 ± 7 N·m (32 ± 5 lb ft).
6. Attach lifting slings and a suitable lifting device to aftercooler housing (6). The weight of the aftercooler housing is approximately 25 kg (55 lb).
