NOTICE

Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting and repair of the product. Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable containers before opening any compartment or disassembling any component containing fluids.

Refer to Special Publication, NENG2500, "Caterpillar Tools and Shop Products Guide" for tools and supplies suitable to collect and contain fluids on Caterpillar products.

Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.

Note: Cleanliness is an important factor. Before you begin the disassembly procedure, the exterior of the components should be thoroughly cleaned. This will help to prevent dirt from entering the internal mechanism. Precision components can be damaged by contaminants or by dirt. Perform disassembly procedures on a clean work surface. Keep components covered and protected at all times.

1. The front axle assemblies and the rear axle assemblies are driven by different drive chains. The drive chains are installed on Drive Sprocket (B) and Drive Sprocket (D). The drive sprockets are mounted on the drive shaft of the hydrostatic piston motor. The two drive sprockets are the same component. The drive sprocket on the hydrostatic piston motor has sprocket drives on different planes. The drive sprockets on the front and rear axles are the same component. The sprockets on the front and rear axles are mounted at 180 degrees of opposite direction. Note that Sprocket (A) is in line with Drive Sprocket (D) and that Sprocket (C) is in line with Drive Sprocket (B). The drive sprockets are installed in a manner that will allow the drive chains to turn in a straight line. If any of the sprockets are installed incorrectly the drive chains can not be installed properly. Note the orientation of all of Drive Sprocket (B) and Drive Sprocket (D). Note the orientation of Sprocket (A) and Sprocket (C) on the axles. Mark all components prior to any removal for repair or replacement.
