AP655D and BG655D Asphalt Pavers Propel System Speed Sensor (Propel Motor) - Adjust - Steel Track Machine Caterpillar


Speed Sensor (Propel Motor) - Adjust - Steel Track Machine
`

Note: Perform the following procedure if a speed sensor must be replaced. The machine is equipped with two speed sensors. One speed sensor is installed in the housing of the left propulsion motor, and one speed sensor is installed in the housing of the right propulsion motor.

------ WARNING! ------

Personal injury or death can result from sudden machine movement.

Sudden movement of the machine can cause injury to persons on or near the machine.

To prevent injury or death, make sure that the area around the machine is clear of personnel and obstructions before operating the machine.


------ WARNING! ------

Injury to personnel can result if they are not in the operator's view. Allow only essential personnel near the machine, and make sure the personnel are in the operator's view when testing, to prevent injury. Make sure checks are done in an open area.


------ WARNING! ------

To prevent injury or death, never work under a machine while a test is being performed.


------ WARNING! ------

Personal injury or death can result from lifting a heavy component.

The heavy component can fall if using an incorrect hoist and/or sling or fastener to lift the load.

Be sure the hoist and other devices have the correct lifting capacity to lift a heavy component. The approximate weight of the heavy component is given below.
