NOTICE

Keep all parts clean from contaminants.

Contaminants may cause rapid wear and shortened component life.



NOTICE

Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting, and repair of the product. Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable containers before opening any compartment or disassembling any component containing fluids.

Refer to Special Publication, PERJ1017, "Dealer Service Tool Catalog" for tools and supplies suitable to collect and contain fluids on Cat® products.

Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.


Note: Intermittent leakage of a small amount of coolant from the weep hole is not an indication of water pump seal failure. Seepage is normal to ensure proper lubrication of the face of the water pump seal. Replace the water pump if excessive leakage is observed from the weep hole in the water pump housing.
