Maintenance

Solution Pump

Refer to the Solution Pump Operation and Service
Manual for specific instructions (P/N 86269900).

1. Check the crankcase oil level daily to assure the

proper level. Use the illustration as a guide when
checking the oil level. If the level has dropped,
check for the source of leakage and repair.

2. Use the provided dipstick. Remove red filler cap

and insert dipstick. Oil level should be between
marks on the dipstick or use a mirror and refer to
the illustration.

3. Change the crankcase oil with Cat Pump

Crankcase Oil (P/N 86189080) after the first 50
hours of operation. Drain and refill the crankcase
oil with Cat Pump Crankcase Oil every 500 hours
thereafter. Oil capacity is approximately 11.8
ounces.

4. Other Cat approved oil equivalents are: Mobil DTE

16, Amoco Rykow 68, and Shell Tellus T68.

Solution Pump Clutch

After removing or replacing solution pump clutch, make
certain that bolt is re-torqued to the proper value.

Vacuum Inlet Filter (In Waste Tank)

The vacuum filter in the waste tank should be removed
and cleaned daily. If this is done, the filter will last for a
long period of time.

Vacuum Relief Valve

While the unit is running at full RPM, block the air flow
at the vacuum inlet connection and read the vacuum
gauge. If adjustment is required, shut the unit down and
adjust the vacuum relief valve locking nut tension. Start
your unit and read the vacuum gauge. Repeat this
process until the relief valve opens at 13" Hg.

Vacuum Pump Drive Belts

To tighten the vacuum pump belts:

1. Loosen the four screws which secure the vacuum

pump to the mounting bracket.

2. Turn the adjusting bolts until the proper belt tension

is achieved (1/2" total deflection in the center of the
belt, halfway between the pulleys).

NOTE: When adjusting belt tension, make certain
that the engine shaft and vacuum pump shaft remain
parallel, and the belt tension is equal throughout the
belt width.

3. After adjusting, re-tighten the four screws which

secure the vacuum pump to the mounting bracket.
Check belt alignment with straight-edge.

4. Check for pulley groove wear, clean belts and

pulley grooves, check for worn belts, proper belt
tension, and pulley alignment after the first 25
hours and then again at 100 hours.

5. Check for belt ride in the groove.
