B	1P-0510	Driver Group	1

Start By:

Remove the main hydraulic pump. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, “Main Hydraulic Pump – Remove”.

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.

Note: After disassembly has been completed, check the condition of all the components. Refer to Guidelines For Reusable Parts, SEBF8032, “Piston Pumps and Motors”. During reconditioning, correct any conditions that might have caused the original failure. Information is available to analyze failures on the piston pumps and on the motor. Refer to Special Publication, SEBD0641, “Analyzing Axial Piston Pump and Motor Failures”.


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.
