Operation and Maintenance Manual

938G Series II Wheel Loader and IT38G Series II Integrated Toolcarrier

Foreword

Literature Information

s00037320

This manual should be stored in the operator's compartment in the literature holder or seat back literature storage area.

This manual contains safety information, operation instructions, transportation information, lubrication information and maintenance information.

Some photographs or illustrations in this publication show details or attachments that can be different from your machine. Guards and covers might have been removed for illustrative purposes.

Continuing improvement and advancement of product design might have caused changes to your machine which are not included in this publication. Read, study and keep this manual with the machine.

Whenever a question arises regarding your machine, or this publication, please consult your Cat dealer for the latest available information.

Safety

The safety section lists basic safety precautions. In addition, this section identifies the text and locations of warning signs and labels used on the machine.

Read and understand the basic precautions listed in the safety section before operating or performing lubrication, maintenance and repair on this machine.

Operation

The operation section is a reference for the new operator and a refresher for the experienced operator. This section includes a discussion of gauges, switches, machine controls, attachment controls, transportation and towing information.

Photographs and illustrations guide the operator through correct procedures of checking, starting, operating and stopping the machine.

Operating techniques outlined in this publication are basic. Skill and techniques develop as the operator gains knowledge of the machine and its capabilities.

Maintenance

The maintenance section is a guide to equipment care. The Maintenance Interval Schedule (MIS) lists the items to be maintained at a specific service interval. Items without specific intervals are listed under the "When Required" service interval. The Maintenance Interval Schedule lists the page number for the step-by-step instructions required to accomplish the scheduled maintenance. Use the Maintenance Interval Schedule as an index or "one safe source" for all maintenance procedures.

Maintenance Intervals

Use the service hour meter to determine servicing intervals. Calendar intervals shown (daily, weekly, monthly, etc.) can be used instead of service hour meter intervals if they provide more convenient servicing schedules and approximate the indicated service hour meter reading. Recommended service should always be performed at the interval that occurs first.

Under extremely severe, dusty or wet operating conditions, more frequent lubrication than is specified in the maintenance intervals chart might be necessary.

Perform service on items at multiples of the original requirement. For example, at every 500 service hours or 3 months, also service those items listed under every 250 service hours or monthly and every 10 service hours or daily.

California Proposition 65 Warning

Diesel engine exhaust and some of its constituents are known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, and other reproductive harm.

Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after handling.

Certified Engine Maintenance

Proper maintenance and repair is essential to keep the engine and machine systems operating correctly. As the heavy duty off-road diesel engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in the Owner Manual, Operation and Maintenance Manual, and Service Manual.

It is prohibited for any person engaged in the business of repairing, servicing, selling, leasing, or trading engines or machines to remove, alter, or render inoperative any emission related device or element of design installed on or in an engine or machine that is in compliance with the regulations (40 CFR Part 89). Certain elements of the machine and engine such as the exhaust system, fuel system, electrical system, intake air system and cooling system may be emission related and should not be altered unless approved by Caterpillar.

Machine Capacity

Additional attachments or modifications may exceed machine design capacity which can adversely affect performance characteristics. Included would be stability and system certifications such as brakes, steering, and rollover protective structures (ROPS). Contact your Cat dealer for further information.

Cat Product Identification Number

Effective First Quarter 2001 the Cat Product Identification Number (PIN) has changed from 8 to 17 characters. In an effort to provide uniform equipment identification, Caterpillar and other construction equipment manufacturers are moving to comply with the latest version of the product identification numbering standard. Non-road machine PINs are defined by ISO 10261. The new PIN format will apply to all Cat machines and generator sets. The PIN plates and frame marking will display the 17 character PIN. The new format will look like the following:

2. Machine Descriptor (characters 4-8)

3. Check Character (character 9)

4. Machine Indicator Section (MIS) or Product Sequence Number (characters 10-17). These were previously referred to as the Serial Number.

Machines and generator sets produced before First Quarter 2001 will maintain their 8 character PIN format.

Components such as engines, transmissions, axles, etc. and work tools will continue to use an 8 character Serial Number (S/N).

The backup alarm is mounted in the back of the machine behind the rear grill.

Illustration 2 g00844425

A three-position switch at the rear of the backup alarm regulates the sound of the alarm. The sound of the alarm can be adjusted to HIGH, LOW, or MEDIUM.

The alarm is set at the maximum sound level when the machine is shipped from the factory. The setting should remain on high, unless the job site requires a lower sound level.

Personal injury may occur from failure to properly service the batteries.

Batteries give off flammable fumes that can explode. Electrolyte is an acid and can cause personal injury if it contacts the skin or eyes.

Prevent sparks near the batteries. Sparks could cause vapors to explode. Do not allow jumper cable ends to contact each other or the engine. Improper jumper cable connections can cause an explosion.

Always wear protective glasses when working with batteries.

1. Prepare the machine for maintenance. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, Prepare the Machine for Maintenance.

2. Turn the engine start switch key OFF. Turn all of the switches OFF.

3. Turn the battery disconnect switch OFF. Remove the key.

4. Disconnect the negative battery cable from the disconnect switch.

Note: Do not allow the disconnected battery cable to contact the disconnect switch.

5. Disconnect the negative battery cable at the battery.

6. Disconnect the positive battery cable at the battery.

7. Inspect the battery terminals for corrosion. Inspect the battery cables for wear or damage.

8. Make any necessary repairs. If necessary, replace the battery cables or the battery.

9. Connect the positive battery cable at the battery.

10. Connect the negative battery cable at the battery.

11. Connect the battery cable at the battery disconnect switch.

12. Install the key and turn the battery disconnect switch ON.

Recycle the Battery

Always recycle a battery. Never discard a battery.

Always return used batteries to one of the following locations:

• A battery supplier

• An authorized battery collection facility

• Recycling facility

1. Turn the engine start switch to the ON position. The alert indicator (1) for brake oil pressure should come on if the braking system is not at normal operating pressure.

2. Start the engine. Run the engine at half speed for two minutes in order to increase the accumulator pressure. The alert indicator (1) for brake oil pressure should go off.

3. Stop the engine. Apply the service brake pedal and release the service brake pedal until the alert indicator for brake oil pressure comes on. This will decrease the accumulator pressure. A minimum of five applications of the service brake pedal are required.

Note: The parking brake indicator light (2) will be on when the alert indicator for brake oil pressure comes on.

i01703170

4. If the alert indicator comes on after less than five applications of the brake, measure the accumulator precharge pressure. An authorized Caterpillar dealer can measure the nitrogen gas pressure in the accumulator. Use only dry nitrogen gas for recharging.
