Oil Filters
Only CAT lters are to be used when replacing
engine lters. Any other lter will void engine
warranty and cost damages. Fees will apply.
GeneralHazardInformaon
Aach a “Do Not Operate” warning tag to the
start switch or controls before the equipment is
serviced or repaired. Aach the warning tags to
the engine and to each operator control panel.
When appropriate disconnect the negave terminal
on the baery.
Do not allow unauthorized personnel on the
equipment or around the equipment while being
serviced.
Cauously remove the following parts. To help
prevent spraying or splashing of pressurized uids
hold a rag over the part that is being removed.
• Filler caps
• Grease ngs
• Pressure taps
• Breathers
• Drain plugs
Pressurized Air and Water
Pressurized air and/or water can cause debris and/
or hot water to be blown out which could result in
personal injury.
The maximum air pressure for cleaning purposes
must be reduced to 30psi (205 kPa) when the air
nozzle in deadheaded and used with eecve chip
guarding (if applicable) and personal protecve
equipment. The maximum water pressure for
cleaning purposes mus be below 40psi (275 kpa).
When pressurized air and/or pressurized water
is used for cleaning, wear protecve clothing,
protecve shoes, and eye protecon. Eye
protecon includes goggles or a protecve face
shield. Always wear eye protecon for cleaning the
cooling system.
Avoid direct spraying of water on electrical
connectors, connecons, and components. When
using air for cleaning, allow the equipment to cool
to reduce the possibility of ne debris igning
when redeposited on hot surfaces.
FluidPenetraon
Always use a board or cardboard when you check
for a leak. Leaking uid that is under pressure can
penetrate body ssue. Fluid penetraon can cause
serious injury and possible death. A pin hole leak
can cause severe injury. If uid is injected into your
skin, you must get medical treatment immediately.
Seek treatment from a doctor that is familiar with
this type of injury.
Containing Fluid Spillage
Care must be taken to ensure that uids are
contained during performance of inspecon,
maintenance, tesng, adjusng, and repair of
the equipment. Be prepared to collect the uid

compartment or disassembling any component
containing uids.
Dispose of all uids according to local regulaons
and mandates.
Lines, Tubes, and Hoses
Do not bend or strike high-pressure lines. Do not
install lines, tubes, or hoses that are damaged.
Repair any fuel lines, oil lines, tubes, or hoses that
are loose or damaged. Leaks can cause res or
injury.
Inspect all lines, tubes, and hoses carefully. Do
not use bare hands to check for leaks. Always use
a board or cardboard for checking equipment
components for leaks. Tighten all connecons to
the recommended torque.
Check for the following condions:
• End ngs that are damaged or leaking
• Outer covering that is chafed or cut
• Wire that is exposed in reinforced hose
• Outer covering that is ballooning locally
• Flexible part of the hose that is kinked or
crushed
• Armoring that is embedded in the outer
covering
Ensure that all of the clamps, guards, and heat
shields are installed correctly. Correct installaon
of these components will help to prevent these
eects: vibraon, rubbing against other parts and
excessive heat during operaon.
Inhalaon
Exhaust fumes can be hazardous to your health. If
you operate the equipment in an enclosed area,
adequate venlaon is necessary,
BurnPrevenon
Do not touch any part of the equipment during
operaon. Allow the equipment to cool before any
maintenance is performed on the engine. Relieve
all pressures in the hydraulic system, fuel system,
lubricaon system, or cooling system before any
lines, ngs, or related items are disconnected.
Coolant
When the engine is at operang temperature, the
engine coolant is hot. The coolant is also under
pressure. The radiator and all lines to the heaters or
to the engine contain hot coolant. When pressure
is relieved rapidly, the hot coolant can turn into
steam.
Any contact with hot coolant or with steam
can cause severe burns. Allow cooling system
components to cool before the cooling system is
drained.
Check the coolant level only aer the engine has
been stopped.
Do not step on the engine in order to remove the
ller cap. Ensure that the ller cap is cool before
removing the ller cap. Remove the ller cap slowly
in order to relieve pressure.
Cooling system condioner contains alkali. Alkali
can cause personal injury. Do not allow alkali to
contact the skin, the eyes, or the mouth.
Oil
Hot oil and hot components can cause personal
injury. Do not allow hot oil or hot components to
contact the skin.
Keep all of the exhaust manifold and turbocharger
heat shields in place in order to protect
components from oil spray if there is a failure of a
line, tube, or seal.

SafetySecon
Electrical System
Engine Stopping
Stop the engine according to the procedure in
the Operaon and Maintenance Manual, “Engine
Stopping (Operaon Secon)” in order to avoid
overheang of the engine and accelerated wear of
the engine components.
Use the Emergency Stop Buon ONLY in an
emergency situaon. Do not use the Emergency
StopBuonfornormalenginestopping. Aer an
emergency stop, DO NOT start the engine unl the
problem that caused the emergency stop has been
corrected.
Stop the engine if an overspeed condion occurs
during the inial start-up of a new engine or an
engine that has been overhauled. This may be
accomplished by shung o the fuel supply to the
engine and/or shung o the air supply to the
engine.
To stop an electronically controlled engine, cut the
power to the engine.
Never disconnect any charging unit circuit or
baery circuit cable from a baery when the
charging unit is operang. A spark can cause the
combusble gases that are produced by some
baeries to ignite.
If the engine must be started by an external
electrical source, then always connect the posive
jump start cable “+” to the posive terminal “+” of
the baery.
To help prevent sparks from igning combusble
gases that are produced by some baeries, the
negave “-” jump start cable should be connected
last from the external power source to the negave
“-” terminal of the starng motor. If the starng
motor is not equipped with a negave “-” terminal,
connect the jump start cable to the engine block.
GroundingPracces
Proper grounding for the equipment electrical
system is necessary for proper engine performance
and reliability. Improper grounding will result in
uncontrolled electrical circuit paths and unreliable
electrical circuit paths.
Uncontrolled equipment electrical circuit paths
can result in damage to the engine and pumps. All
grounds should be ght and free of corrosion.
The alternator and the starng motor must be
grounded to the negave “-” baery terminal.
A grounding strap must be used for all equipment
that has an alternator grounded to an engine
component. The ground strap must be connected
to the component and to the negave “-” baery
Always start the engine according to the
procedure that is described in this Operaon and
Maintenance Manual, “Engine Starng” topic
(Operaon Secon). Knowing the correct procedure
will help to prevent major damage to the engine
components. Knowing the procedure will also help
to prevent personal injury.
Engine exhaust contains products of combuson
that can be harmful to your health. Always start
and operate the engine in a well venlated area.
If the engine is run in an enclosed area, vent the
engine exhaust outside.

ConnecngtheHydraulics
OperaonSecon
Connecng the hoses is one of the most crical
aspects of commissioning an APE tool.
Take extreme care to keep these connecons
absolutely clean. This procedure is one of the most
common ways for foreign parcles to be introduced
into a hydraulic system.
To connect the tool to the power unit:
1. Turn the power unit OFF.
2. Posion power unit close enough to work that
hoses will be able to reach.
• Most hose failures are caused by pulling
hoses o couplers. Avoid pulling on hoses.
3. Clean all quick disconnects with brake wash.
They must be completely free of dirt or
contaminants.
4. Aach quick disconnects. Note that quick
disconnects of each hose type are mated to
prevent backwards hookups.
5. Tighten all ngs to hand ghtness. Verify with
chain wrench.
• DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN
New hydraulic uid is NOT clean oil!
Oil must meet ISO cleanliness code
17/15/11
Please do the following:
• Set the engine at idle
• Run at idle for about 10
minutes to ll the lines
• Drive will not engage unl the
power unit is up to operang
temperature.
Pressurizing the system while there is air
entrainedintheuidmaycausedamage
to the components.
Let the system run at idle for an
addional10minutes to allow the air
to rise into the airspace of the hydraulic
reservoir.
