1. The radiator cap is located on the top of the
radiator on the left side of the machine. Remove
the radiator cap slowly in order to relieve system
pressure.

2. Maintain the coolant level within 13 mm (0.5 inch)
of the bottom of the filler tube. If you need to add
coolant daily, check the cooling system for leaks.
3. Inspect the radiator cap seal. Replace the
radiator cap seal if the radiator cap seal is
damaged.
4. Install the radiator cap. Close the access panel.

Cooling System Water
Temperature Regulator -
Clean/Replace
SMCS Code: 1355; 1393
Replace the thermostat on a regular basis in order to
reduce the chance of unscheduled downtime and of
problems with the cooling system. Failure to replace
the engine’s thermostat on a regularly scheduled
basis could cause severe engine damage.
The thermostat should be replaced after the cooling
system has been cleaned. Replace the thermostat
while the cooling system is completely drained or
while the cooling system coolant is drained to a
level that is below the thermostat housing.
Note: If you are only replacing the thermostat, drain
the cooling system coolant to a level that is below
the thermostat housing.
Caterpillar engines incorporate a shunt design
cooling system. It is mandatory to always operate
the engine with a thermostat.
1. Empty the bucket. Remove the pin that secures
the loader lift arm brace to the left loader lift arm.
Raise the loader arm to the maximum height.
2. Position the loader lift arm brace over the left lift
cylinder rod with the flat end against the cylinder
end.
3. Push the pin through the holes of the loader lift
arm brace and install the cotter pin.
4. Slowly lower the loader arms until the loader lift
arm brace contacts the top of the lift cylinder
and the bosses on the loader arm.
