CAT 3512 B and C series Maintenance:

Before Starting The Engine:

- Walk around inspection for any type of leaks ( Fuel, Oil and Coolant).&
- Check all guards, all guards must be in their proper place.
- Ensure that the areas around the rotating parts are clear.
- Ensure that all clamps and connections are secure.
- Observe air cleaner service indicators must be in green area.
- Check level and inspect cooling system for leaks or loose connections.
- Inspect fan drive belts for cracks or deterioration.
- Inspect water pump for evidence of leaks.
- Inspect the fuel lines for loose fitting and leaks.
- Ensure that the fuel is supplied to the Engine.
- Check the oil dipstick for normal level.

After Starting The Engine- warm up period:

JC70D Draw-works:
General inspections:

- Check alignment of sprocket and shafts.


- Ensure that all bolts are tight.
- Inspect all chains for wear and broken links.
- Check all air connection and hoses for leaks Tight, clean or Replace.
- Engage and disengage clutches to verify the good function.
- Clean oil sump and section screener to ensure free oil flow.
- Check installation of chain guards to ensure the oil will have unrestricted flow back
to the sump.
- Replace any fitting that won’t take grease, replace broken and pinched grease
tubing.
- Inspect lub pump and distributor nozzles.
- With DW running check the main bearings on all shafts to ensure that they are well
lubricated and securely bolted.
- Check the water supply system for good function.
- Change oil and clean sump every 2000 service hours.

Daily maintenance:

eddy current brake ).
- Check the return water in the cooling system both Eddy current brake and main
brake.

PSK Hydraulic Unite and Disc brake Assembly:

- Check hydraulic oil level.


- Check working pressure must be 1100 to 1200 psi.
- Walk around to inspect for leaks and abnormal noise.
- Ensure the good function of the cooling system in the unite.
