Introduction

Do not perform any procedure in this Special Instruction until you have read the information and you understand the information.

Safety Section

Work safely. Most accidents that involve product operation, maintenance, and repair are caused by failure to observe basic safety rules or precautions. An accident can often be avoided by recognizing potentially hazardous situations before an accident occurs.

A person must be alert to potential hazards. This person must also have the necessary training, skills, and tools to perform these functions properly.

Safety precautions and warnings are provided in this instruction and on the product. If these hazard warnings are not heeded, bodily injury or death could occur to you or to other persons. Caterpillar cannot anticipate every possible circumstance of a potential hazard.

Therefore, the warnings in this publication and the warnings that are on the product are not all inclusive. Avoid using a tool, a procedure, a work method, or operating technique that is not recommended by Caterpillar. If used, ensure the safety of the operating personnel and others.

Ensure that the product will not be damaged or the product will be made unsafe by the operation, lubrication, maintenance, or the repair procedures.

Operation of the machine and the maintenance of the machine must not occur unless the instructions and warnings in the machines Operation and Maintenance Manual have been read and the instructions and the warnings are understood.

------ WARNING! ------

Accidental engine starting can cause injury or death to personnel working on the equipment.

To avoid accidental engine starting, disconnect the battery cable from the negative (−) battery terminal. Completely tape all metal surfaces of the disconnected battery cable end in order to prevent contact with other metal surfaces which could activate the engine electrical system.

Place a Do Not Operate tag at the Start/Stop switch location to inform personnel that the equipment is being worked on.


------ WARNING! ------

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.


------ WARNING! ------

Do not attempt to assemble this machine until you read and you understand the assembly instructions.

Improper assembly procedures could result in injury or death.


------ WARNING! ------

Personal injury or death can result from improper lifting or blocking.

When a hoist or jack is used to lift any part or component, stand clear of the area. Be sure the hoist or jack has the correct capacity to lift a component. Install blocks or stands before performance of any work under a heavy component.

Approximate weights of the components are shown. Clean all surfaces where parts are to be installed.

Software Installation

Installing the "myBHL" App (iOS)

  1. Using an iPhone, enter the Apple App Store.

  2. Enter the term "myBHL" in the search box and hit "Enter".

  3. Select the Cat® myBHL app and install the app on the phone.

Preparing to Connect for the First Time

  1. On the iPhone, enter the "Settings" menu.

  2. In the settings menu select "Bluetooth".

    Note: Within the Bluetooth menu turn ON Bluetooth if necessary.

  3. Turn the ignition key of the machine to the RUN position.

    Note: The engine does not have to be running in order to connect the Bluetooth device.

  4. In the Bluetooth menu on the iPhone, in the devices list, look for "CAT myBHL". The device listed will have the naming format "CAT myBHL-XXXX".

  5. Select the "CAT myBHL" Bluetooth module and enter the Bluetooth pairing PIN code when prompted.

    Note: The "CAT myBHL" Bluetooth module will be powered for 30 seconds after turning the ignition key to the RUN position. After this time, the machine will stop searching for Apple devices to connect to and enter standby mode. If a connection is not made during this 30 second period, a cycle of the ignition key to OFF and back to RUN is needed to turn the module back on, and restart the timer.

  6. Open the "myBHL" App. This action will automatically connect the phone to the machine.

  7. Once the connection is confirmed, exit the "myBHL" app and turn the ignition key of the machine to the OFF position.

From now on, the machine will connect to the CAT myBHL app automatically.

Note: Once the initial pairing process has been completed, the sequence of turning on the machine or entering the app is irrelevant. However, if the app is entered for more than 30 seconds after starting the machine, pairing may take up to one minute for the app to connect.
