Personal injury can result from rotating and moving parts. Stay clear of all rotating and moving parts. Never attempt adjustments while the machine is moving or the engine is running unless otherwise specified. The machine must be parked on a level surface and the engine stopped. Attach a "Do Not Operate" or similar warning tag to the start switch and controls before servicing, repairing, or making adjustments to the machine. |
|
|
Personal injury or death can result from sudden machine movement. Sudden movement of the machine can cause injury to persons on or near the machine. To prevent injury or death, make sure that the area around the machine is clear of personnel and obstructions before operating the machine. |

|
Personal injury can result from hydraulic oil pressure and hot oil. Hydraulic oil pressure can remain in the hydraulic system after the engine has been stopped. Serious injury can be caused if this pressure is not released before any service is done on the hydraulic system. Make sure all of the attachments have been lowered, and the oil is cool before removing any components or lines. Remove the oil filler cap only when the engine is stopped, and the filler cap is cool enough to touch with your bare hand. |

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 Special Publication, NENG2500, "Caterpillar Tools and Shop Products Guide", for tools and supplies suitable to collect and contain fluids in Caterpillar machines. Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates. |

- Position plate (14) on the steering control unit. Install four bolts (13). Tighten the bolts to a torque of
33 ± 5 N·m (24.3 ± 3.7 lb/ft) .Note: It may be necessary in the following step to slightly rotate the wheel slightly in order to align the splines on the steering shaft with the splines that are in the steering control unit.
- Position the steering control unit, and install Tool (D) in one of the holes at the base of the steering column. Install second Tool (D) in another hole. Align the plate and tighten Tool (D) in order to pull the steering control unit into position. After the steering control unit is splined to the steering column, install two bolts (12) and washers. Remove Tool (D) from both holes. Install two bolts (12) and washers.
- Replace insulation (11) and replace floor mat (10). Go to Step 11.
- Remove steering lock pin (9). Remove Tool (B). Close the engine compartment.
