OPERATIONAL HAZARD
Before performing inspections or repair to the machine, lockout the machine’s starting
capability with the Battery Isolation Switch. Serious injury or loss of life is possible if the
machine is started while maintenance or repair operations are being conducted.
Operational inspections of the “KLENZ™” system are required as part of the preventive
maintenance program. Exercise caution during all procedures to avoid hot or rotating
components. Alert all personnel in the area of operational testing being conducted and
instruct them to stay clear of the area.
The “KLENZ™” Enable Switch must be turned to the OFF position and compressed air
pressure relieved prior to performing any inspection or service work to the “KLENZ™”
filtration system. Personal injury and serious component damage is possible.
FIRE HAZARD
Under no circumstances should lit cigarettes or any burning object be put into the hood or
ducting of the “KLENZ™” filtration system. No welding repairs should be performed inside the
filtration unit, without fire protection. Serious injury or loss of life could occur.
Never spray ether cold starting aid into the air intake of the “KLENZ™” filtration system.
Personal injury and serious component damage is possible. The use of ether is NOT
recommended by LeTourneau as an engine starting aid.
CRUSH HAZARD
Use the Battery Disconnect switch or Battery Isolation switch to help prevent starting the
machine. Failure to prevent starting the machine could result in severe injury or death.
Use caution when opening the inlet KLENZ door. If the loader is on a slight incline or in high
wind, the door could quickly swing wide open. This could result in personal injury or damage

PURGING AUTO LUBE SYSTEM LINES AND PRE-LUBRICATION
Illustration "AUTOMATIC LUBRICATION SYSTEM - LOCATION OF LUBRICATED COMPONENTS"
shows the components lubricated by the auto lube system. It is essential to purge the lines to
each component. Purging the lines and pre-lubrication of components is accomplished by
removing the line to each component and manually injecting grease with a hand-held air-powered
grease gun until fresh grease is seen exiting the component. The following illustrations show
typical examples of this procedure.

Prior to working on the Auto Lube Pump, all safety precautions (such as risk assessments and
isolation of energy sources) should be taken per mine site regulation. Adjustments of the Auto
Lube Pump will require the machine to be operational. Among the safety precautions are items
such as:
Install safety link

Be sure that grease pressure has been bled from the system before removing a pressure switch
or transducer to insert the tee.
1. Disconnect the pressure transducer or pressure switch.
Pressure Transducer Pressure Switch
Part of the adjustment is to cause the Auto Lube Pump to stall out. If the adjustment takes more
than 90 seconds it will be possible to get a Long Cycle Alarm message in the cab.
2. Install tee and pressure gauge (0 – 5000 psi) in the grease supply line next to pressure transducer.

4. Boot up LINCS computer system and start the engine.
The automatic lubrication system is hydraulically powered. The engine must be running to make
adjustments. LINCS software will turn on the solenoid and Auto Lube Pump for 90 seconds.
TIRE INFLATION
Do not inflate tire until the wheel and tire have been mounted on the machine.
Over-inflation and under-inflation tire pressures can cause serious tire and machine problems.
Of particular significance is over-inflation of the rear tires. This condition can have a very detrimental
effect on frame fatigue and traction motor overspeed. Over-inflated rear tires can also cause the rear of
the machine to “bounce”. This action, in turn, multiplies any stresses through the rear frame and the
articulation ball/sockets. Under severe instances, the rear tires can lose traction and cause an
instantaneous motor overspeed.
IMPROPER INFLATION HAZARDS

Over Inflation Under Inflation
Increased Risk of Cutting Increased Risk of Sidewall Damage
Increased Wear Rate Increased Wear Rate
Stiff Ride Poor Stability
Reduced Tractive Effort Potential Rim Slippage
Increased Shock Load Increased Risk of Casing Fatigue
Potential Overspeed
Increased Frame Stress

GENERATION2
DRAFT
Stand behind the tread when inflating tires, as shown below. Do not stand in front of or behind the
tire and rim assembly. In the event of tire explosion, failure to comply with this warning could
result in serious injury or death.
NEVER operate the machine with under-inflated or over-inflated tires.

Always, repair all cuts and punctures before adding air.
Bleeding the air out of the tire should never counteract excessive pressure buildup. The only
correct way to reduce excessive buildup is to reduce load, speed or both.
ALWAYS wear safety glasses and all other required Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) when
inflating or deflating tires.

GENERATION2
DRAFT
VALVE SYSTEM
The wheels on the machines are equipped with a valve system, which provides inflation and deflation of
the tires. The following instructions are for inflating and deflating the tires using the Haltec Mega Bore
Valve System. If another system is optionally installed, refer to that manufacturer‟s instructions for use of
the valve system.
1) ELBOW 2) CAP A) MOUNTED ONTO RIM

Figure 103. TIRE VALVE
INFLATION EQUIPMENT
A 100 cfm (2832 lpm) air compressor must be utilized to get maximum benefit of the valve system. This
air compressor then needs to be connected to the inflator with hoses and couplers that have a minimum
inside diameter of 11/16” (18.84 mm).
If anything less than these requirements is used, the system will not work to its full potential.

The inflation pressures in the previous table are based on latest information from the tire
manufacturers and should be applicable for the majority of locations. However, it is possible that
local conditions could require a variation in the recommended pressures. It is possible that a tire
manufacturer issue might issue an official Technical Bulletin regarding a tire pressure deviation
from the table., the user should provide the tire manufacturer recommendation to Wheel Loader
Product Support before changing the recommended tire pressure. Failure to consult with the tire
manufacturer and LeTourneau regarding specific tire pressure and application can result in
severe tire damage or tire failure and may possibly affect machine warranty.
Recommended inflation pressures are “cold” pressures. If pressure is checked before the tire
cools down (in some cases this can be up to 24 hours) allow a margin of 15 psi (1 bar) over
recommended “cold” pressure for pressure build up due to heat.
To maintain these pressures, weekly inspections should be instituted to verify cold inflation
pressures. When possible, daily checks by the operators will help to maintain optimum pressure
levels, lengthen tire life and increase machine performance.

CHECKING BELLCRANK AND BUCKET ROLLBACK STOP BLOCKS
BELLCRANK STOP BLOCKS (L-1150, L-1350, AND L-1850 – GEN2)
Follow the procedure below for correct bellcrank stop adjustment.
a. Stop blocks are factory installed with a standard shim pack (typically 3/8”).
b. Perform a hoist and bucket calibration.
c. Raise the lift arms until detent is reached.
d. Slowly dump the bucket while observing the stop blocks on both sides until contact is made on either
side. Do not force the bucket down after contact is made.
e. Shim the bellcrank stops so that the bellcrank on each side on the machine contacts the stop
blocks simultaneously. It is preferred that shims be added to the lowest side as this prevents the
bellcrank from entering an over-center condition.
f. Lower the bucket to the ground and install shims determined necessary in Step “e”.
g. Raise the lift arms until detent is reached.
h. Dump the bucket.
i. Lower the bucket to the ground and note the position of the bucket in relation to the ground. The
bucket should be level or in a slight tooth down position.
If the bucket is not at the proper angle, the bellcrank stop shim packs can be increased or decreased to
obtain the desired position.
1. Increasing the number of shims under the bellcrank stops will result in a tooth up position.
2. Decreasing the number of shims under the bellcrank will result in a tooth down position.

REPLACING THE BUCKET ROLLBACK STOP BLOCKS (GEN2)
The rollback stop blocks are positioned so that they contact the lift arms at the SAE standard carry
position. The SAE standard carry position is defined where the bottom of the bucket pivot is at an angle
that is 15° tangent to the tire. The rollback stop blocks should contact the lift arm prior to the bucket
cylinder achieving full extension from this height down. This protects the bell cranks and bucket cylinders
from loads when the bucket is rolled back while filling the bucket in the bank.
This procedure provides the correct height at which the lift arms are positioned for bucket rollback stop
block placement. The additional tables take into account setting stops when the loader has different tire
sizes.
Figure 116. SAE BUCKET CARRY POSITION
The size of the bucket rollback stop mounting blocks on back of the bucket will vary depending
on the machine type and whether the lift arm is high lift or standard lift. The orientation and
standoff measurement of these blocks must be considered when swapping buckets between
machine or lift arm types. The rollback stop position should be checked anytime a bucket is
changed.
This is a one time procedure that matches the stops on a bucket to the lift arms on a loader. As
long as the same bucket is being used on the loader - the only maintenance required is to replace
the rubber stop pads when they are worn or damaged.

GENERATION2
DRAFT
Figure 117. ROLL BACK STOP BLOCK MOUNTING STRUCTURES
Incorrect orientation and standoff height of the bucket rollback stop block mounting structure could place
excessive stress on the bucket cylinder rod structure, rod piston, and bucket cylinder head stuffing box,
causing serious damage.
Both the left and right rollback stop blocks should contact the lift arms at the same time. If the bucket
rollback stop blocks do not contact the lift arms simultaneously with full pad contact, damage to the lift
arms could occur.
The angle of contact between the rollback stop and the lift arm is critical. The rubber stop must
contact the arm squarely. The rollback stop mount pad must be properly positioned and
angularity between the stop block and lift arm verified before trying to make adjustments. The
mounting structure angles and heights will be different depending on what type of bucket is used
and whether the machine has high lift arms or standard lift arms.
If the angle of contact is not correct, the mount structure will have to be cut off and re-welded to
the correct position. All cutting and welding on the bucket structure has to follow the LeTourneau
Field Welding Procedures (formerly known as Let-1). The most up to date revision of this
document is located in LeTrak knowledgebase article KB #436.

indicator contacts the ball cap as near to center as possible. The centerline of the dial indicator
should be aligned with the centerline of the ball cap. It may be necessary to scrape off some paint on
the frame in order to have the magnetic base securely mounted.
Refer to illustration "DIAL INDICATOR SETUP FOR CHECKING LIFTARM BALL JOINTS" for an
example of dial indicator setup. Ball joint shown in the illustration is a lift arm ball cap; however,
dial indicator installation is the same for other ball joints.

Use only capscrews available under LeTourneau P/N shown for these applications. Inspect the
thread count, size of bolt and type of bolt removed from the original application before installing
new bolts. Always make sure the bolt thread count, size and type matches the old or new
application before installing bolts.

1. All capscrews to be lubricated on the threads and under the heads with 30W motor oil.
2. Use properly calibrated hydraulic torque wrench or torque multiplier.
3. Inspect the bolt thoroughly to determine the exact type of bolt (especially size and thread
count). Check the "CAPSCREW TORQUE CHART", of this manual, to determine the proper
amount of torque to be applied to the bolt. Read all NOTES or KEY ITEM callouts on the
"TORQUE CHART" before determining the torque amount.
4. Use Parts Catalog to determine what bolt PN is used.
The “snap” value is the endplay reading for the lift arm ball cap. Take care to read only the “snap”

CHECKING REAR OSCILLATING AXLE ENDPLAY
It is not recommended that endplay readings be taken on the rear axle of an operating machine.
These readings should be taken using either jacks or a crane of appropriate capacity (LOADER
JACKING INSTRUCTIONS, located in Section 3 in this manual).
The machine should be straight and not steered to either side. Install the safety link prior to doing
any testing. Failure to do so could result in injury.
b. Mount the magnetic base of a dial indicator on the axle structure next to the pivot ball cap so the
indicator contacts the ball cap as near to center as possible. The centerline of the dial indicator needs
to be aligned with the centerline of the ball cap. In this case, it should be vertical. It may be necessary
to scrape off some paint in order to have the magnetic base securely mounted (refer to figure "
TYPICAL INDICATOR SETUP FOR MEASURING ENDPLAY IN BALL AND CAP ASSEMBLY,"
above).
c. Slowly raise the frame with the jack until the ball caps hold the weight of the axle.
Do not lift the machine high enough to allow the axle to oscillate or false readings will be
obtained.
d. Lower the frame slowly and smoothly until the frame rests on the axle. As the frame begins to lower,
the dial indicator needle should “snap” from the zero setting to some value.
The “snap” value is the endplay reading for the rear oscillating axle ball cap. Take care to only
read the “snap” reading. Failure to do this can lead to very tight ball socket assemblies, heat and
rapid wear.
Do not do this test while powering up with a jack. Typically a jack will hoist in a jerky manner and
cause the needle of the dial indicator to simulate a “snap” reading. Even though it is actually
showing deflection.
e. Repeat the test several times as you hoist the unit up and down until you are able to obtain consistent

OPERATOR LEVEL ACCESS
LOG ON
Log On is the way a user can apply their individual preferences in LINCS-II. Log On is done with the User
Access Key. The User Access Key contains information about the user preferences and security level. The
machine can be operated without a User Access Key. However, without it, the user preferences must be
manually entered into the machine.
When a machine is turned on, it operates with a set of default preferences until they are changed. (Default
preferences are set by a Factory Representative.). User preferences can be changed at any time by using a
User Access Key or by accessing the User Preferences Screen. Changed preferences are active until LINCS-
II is restarted or until a new User Access Key is used. When a User Access Key is used, an event is stored in
the Event Log with the User Name and time.
The following are the user preferences stored in the User Access Key:
1) Language
2) Unit System
3) Clock Format
4) Access Level
The different User Access Levels (i.e. Operator, Maintenance, etc.) allow access to different menus and
different LINCS II functions.

USING THE USER ACCESS KEY
To use a User Access Key, press and hold the key into the reader. The Password Entry Screen should
appear within three seconds. If the Password Entry Screen does not appear, remove the key and try again. If
an older generation key (LINCS I-Button) or a blank key is used, a notice will appear on the screen.
PASSWORD ENTRY SCREEN

The Password Entry Screen appears after the User Access Key is pressed in the reader. It is used to select
the User Access Level and the User Preferences. Each User Access Level allows that user access to various
levels of machine component function. The onscreen menu is used to type in the password, by touching
numbers. After entering the password, touch the Accept Button (green check box).
DO NOT set or change any settings during an actual loading operation or cycle. Before entering any
information, or making/changing any settings on any screen in the LINCS system, ensure the machine
is in an area clear of ALL hazards and personnel. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or
death to personnel.

ALARM, WARNING, AND NOTICE SCREENS
LINCS-II notifies the operator with a message on the display when significant events occur.
RED ALARMS
An ALARM is a serious event that means immediate danger to equipment or personnel. The red light on the
console turns on, the beeper sounds, and an ALARM message is displayed. The machine should be safely
shut down immediately.
Alarms may result in automatic functions to assist the operator in shutting down the machine. When some
alarms occur, the Engine automatically goes to low throttle. A timer appears at the top of the display that
gives the minutes until the Engine is stopped and the Park Brakes are set. The timer can be manually cleared
(and the Engine stopped) by pushing in the Park Brake Switch.
The operator can acknowledge the Alarm by pressing the Acknowledge Switch on the left joystick.
YELLOW WARNINGS
A WARNING means that the equipment has experienced a fault that affects the standard operation but does
require an immediate shut down. The yellow light on the console turns on, the beeper sounds, and a
WARNING message is displayed. The machine should be safely moved to a safe location and then shut
down.
Some Warnings result in automatic changes in machine operation. For example, over-temperature conditions
in the Traction Drive System may result in reduced Motor Torque.
The operator can acknowledge the Warning by pressing the Acknowledge Switch on the left joystick.
BLUE NOTICES
A NOTICE provides information to the operator as an aid to normal operation. The Notice message will
automatically clear after a few seconds. The operator can clear the display early by pressing the
Acknowledge Switch on the left joystick.

“STACKED” ALARMS, WARNINGS, AND NOTICES
It is possible to have multiple Red Alarm, Yellow Warning, or Blue Notice screens stacked on top of each
other.
“STACKED” COUNTER NUMBER (ALARMS, WARNINGS OR NOTICES)
When multiple screens are stacked on top of each other, there is a number in the lower right hand bottom of
the screen, that counts the total number of screens stacked.
Each screen must be acknowledged.
As each screen is acknowledged, the counter number counts downward until all the screens are
acknowledged.
In the following example, a Red Alarm was artificially generated and acknowledged.
Acknowledging the Red Alarm leaves a red “banner” at the top of the screen.
This particular Red Alarm has a 15 minute countdown as shown by the numbers in the middle of the
banner.
When the counters reaches 00, a sequence of actions occurs as designated by the software and the
engine shuts down.
In the following example illustration screen, a combination of 33 Warnings and Notices were artificially
created to demonstrate the displayed number (33).
As the acknowledge button is pressed, the number counts downward until all screens are acknowledged.
The touch screen is deactivated to touch when a Yellow Warning is being displayed on the screen.
ALL Red Alarms, Yellow Warnings or Blue Notices must be acknowledged, by using the Acknowledge
Button, before the screen becomes active to touch again.
Blue Notices will eventually remove themselves from the monitor screen. They have a timed delay
before automatic removal. They can also be manually removed by using the Acknowledge Button.

movement and angle of the machine bucket and lift arms.
The bucket image is calibrated with the Zero Tooth to Ground button located on the User Preferences
Screen.
UNDERLOADED NORMAL LOAD OVERLOADED CRITICAL OVERLOAD

The bucket picture changes with the amount of weight loaded. Increasing quantity is represented by an enlarging
representation of the loaded material. The material color changes according to weight. Black representes an
UNDERLOADED machine. Green is a NORMAL LOAD. Yellow means the machine is OVERLOADED. Red
indicates a CRITICAL OVERLOAD. The CRITICAL OVERLOAD material flashes from light to dark red color.

A Lift arm Angle measurement indicates the angle of the lift arms as compared to the machine frame.
The Lift arm Angle is zero ( 0.0°) when the lift arms are horizontal. A positive angle (+°) is shown when the
lift arms are above the zero position and a negative angle (-°) is shown when the lift arms are below the
zero position.
The Bucket Angle measurement shows angle of the bucket as compared to the machine frame.
The Bucket Angle is usually near zero (0.0°) when the bucket is flat and level with the ground. But the
actual “zero” of the Bucket Angle can be changed by the operator. So Bucket Angle measurement may
show zero even when the bucket is not horizontal.
The Bucket Angle zero (0.0°) is set with the “ZERO TOOTH TO GROUND” setting located on the User
Preferences Screen.
A positive angle (+°) is shown when the bucket teeth are above the zero position and a negative angle (-°)
is shown when the bucket teeth are below the zero position.
Refer to “ZERO TOOTH TO GROUND” for more information.
The Weight measurement shows the current material weight in the bucket. The data can also be displayed
in metric units by navigating to the User Preferences Screen and selecting metric units.
The Weight measurement resets when the bucket is dumped after a completed dump cycle.
LOAD WEIGHT
A load weight will be registered during a load cycle if the following parameters are met:
o The lift arms are below horizontal.
o The lift arm height and bucket angle meet predetermined height and angle requirements.
o The bucket contains at least the minimum load needed to register a load weight.
o No commanded movement (by the right joystick) to the lift arms or bucket.
A load weight will also be registered if the lift arms are hoisted above horizontal and a previous load
weight has not been registered during this load cycle.
LOADING CYCLE TIMER
The Loading Cycle Timer indicates the length of a loading cycle. A loading cycle is the time recorded
between two bucket dumps. A bucket dump is defined as a loaded bucket being rolled forward past
10 degrees down of the machine frame angle.
LOAD CYCLE TIMES
The current and average cycle times are displayed on an analog and digital gauge, which resembles a
stop watch.
The Loading Cycle Timer provides, in analog format (1. gauge needle), data for the current load cycle.
The timer provides, in digital format (2. Avg:), the average time based on previous load cycles.

GENERATION2

LINCS II INPUT SIMULATOR BOX (VCU VIA THE DIGITAL BOARD)
The LINCS II Input Simulator Box, P/N 4270252, is used for troubleshooting cabling and components
upstream in a circuit from a remote sensor back to the VCU.
The LINCS II Input Simulator Box is connected in place of a remote sensor (pressure transducer) and is used
to induce a signal back to the VCU to verify proper circuit operation. Utilizing this tester can greatly enhance
troubleshooting potential component failures and reduce downtime by isolating whether a sensor failure or
cabling failure is the root cause.
The tester is able to function in several ways to facilitate troubleshooting as many different sensor circuits as
possible. It can be used to test all pressure transducers regardless of pressure rating, temperature sensors,
and speed sensors.

transducers, hydraulic tank temperature sensors, and gear box temperature sensors) and connect
the cable to Turck connector on the test box.
2. Move the switch, on the input simulator box, to the “4-20mA” to enable any 4-20mA device.
3. Boot up LINCS II and browse channels to find the suspected bad channel.
4. Observe the input reported in LINCS II while rotating the pot on the test box.
5. If LINCS II indicates the pressure is adjusting, the pressure transducer has failed. If there is no
adjustment noted in LINCS II then there is either a bad cable or failed Turck Box.
SPEED SENSORS:
The Remote Interface Tester cannot be used to test wheel motor sensors.
Disconnect the cable from the speed sensor to be tested.
6. Connect the cable to the Turck connector on the Input Simulator Box.
7. Move the selector switch to “Frequency” on the Input Simulator Box.
8. Boot up LINCS II and browse channels to find the correct channel to monitor the speed sensor signal.
9. Verify on the LINCS II screen that the speed sensor channel is registering an RPM.
10. If an RPM is seen on LINCS II screen, the speed sensor is defective. If the speed sensor is not
defective, either cabling or the remote module is defective.

THE IMPORTANCE OF PROPER FASTENER TORQUE AND GRADE IN
MACHINE OPERATION
Many times in an effective maintenance program, the difference in loss of production, increase in
machine life and dollar savings is simply a matter of maintaining proper torque on nuts and
fasteners. Torque values and bolt grades for various machine components are in the CAPSCREW
TORQUE CHART.
FASTENER TORQUE IN MACHINE MAINTENANCE
COMPONENT FAILURE
Failure analysis of fasteners on rotating, reciprocating, and sometimes in static equipment shows that in
most cases, failure was caused by improper tightening and torquing of the fastener connections. When a
fastener connection loses the designed preload (clamping force), the major consequence is the sacrifice
of the structural integrity. This can result in premature failure due to fatigue in cyclic loading applications.
TORQUE SETTING PROCEDURES
The following guidelines provide general information concerning the proper setting of fastener torque:
a. ALWAYS use the recommended torque pattern. If not available, use the crisscross method.
b. Apply preload incrementally until full torque values are reached. Do not apply full torque to one
fastener then go to the next. This will introduce bending and overloading of fasteners, causing
premature failure.
c. Do not use a “cheater” pipe or double wrench.
d. The use of lubricants and anti-seize compounds greatly reduces the torque required to achieve a
specific clamping force.
The torque specifications listed on the CAPSCREW TORQUE CHART provide recommendations
for both dry and lubricated threads. Lubricated fasteners should be lubricated with 30W motor oil
on the threads and under the heads.
LOSS OF PRELOAD
It is important that tightness and torques be checked routinely as shown in the section of the machine's
Service Manual entitled P.M. SCHEDULES (POST BREAK-IN PERIOD.
Fasteners may become loose even when they are torqued to specifications. This is possible because
after initial tightening, some of the preload is lost due to vibration from operational conditions and the
redistribution of loading in the fasteners members.
FASTENER, CAPSCREW, NUT AND WASHER GRADE SPECIFICATIONS
The use of the proper grade fasteners, capscrews, nuts and washers as the machine is originally
equipped cannot be stressed too highly. The grade markings for fasteners and capscrews are provided in
the CAPSCREW TORQUE CHART. All fasteners and capscrews used on LeTourneau equipment are
Grade 8 or better. Refer to the section of the machine's entitled Parts Catalog for the LeTourneau part
numbers of the fasteners, capscrews, nuts and washers as shown in the component illustrations in the
machine's Service Manual.

GENERATION2
DRAFT
Be careful to not mix metric with standard fasteners. Mismatched or incorrect fasteners will cause
machine damage or malfunction and may result in personal injury.
The few dollars saved by using lower quality fasteners will not justify the cost of injury to
personnel, downtime and machine repair or component replacement should the fasteners fail.
IMPACT SOCKETS
Service of the machine requires periodically checking the torque on the wheels, ball caps, drives, etc.
Twelve-point capscrews of 1”, 1-1/4” and 1-1/2” are used in these locations. It is often difficult to locate
and purchase the proper impact socket for these capscrews, due to tight clearances at some locations.
One-inch drive, 12-point impact sockets for use in torquing these capscrews are available from
LeTourneau under the part numbers listed in the table below.
It is essential to use a calibrated torque wrench and, when required, a torque multiplier to
accurately torque the capscrews on the machine to the specifications listed on the CAPSCREW
TORQUE CHART, located in the section of this manual entitled FORMS. Use of an air impact
wrench alone, in lieu of a calibrated torque wrench, could result in improper tightening, ultimately
causing component damage.

“LUBED” is defined as having the threads and under the head lubricated with engine oil. Engine oil is defined as SAE 30
or 40 weight oil, including multi viscosity grades 5W-30 through 15W-40. No other lubricant (such as anti seize, MolyKote,
copper coat, grease, etc.) is permitted unless specifically called out in a LTI procedure.
**LUBED = LUBRICATED WITH ENGINE OIL ON THREADS AND UNDER HEAD
(SAE 30 or 40 weight oil, including multi viscosity grades 5W-30 through 15W-40)
NOTE: No other lubricant (such as anti seize, never seize, MolyKote, copper coat, grease, etc.)
is permitted unless specifically called out in a LTI procedure.
All capscrews and fasteners should be started by hand until a minimum of three (3) threads are engaged prior to any air
impact equipment being used.
If a procedure in a LeTourneau publication calls for the use of Loctite® threadlocker on the threads, the torque
specification for “lubed” should be used. The threads on both the fastener and mating part should be thoroughly cleaned
with a proper quick dry solvent that does not leave an oily film prior to use of Loctite®. The Loctite® thread threadlocker
should only be used on the threads - not the head.
Certain applications in components such as planetary drives or lift arm ball caps may specify a FERRY brand of
capscrew. Use only FERRY brand capscrews in these applications.
LeTourneau recommends that any old 12pt LeTourneau-fabricated (fabrication was stopped many years ago) capscrew
(refer to illustration under FASTENER AND CAPSCREW MARKINGS ON HEAD) be replaced at the time of repair with
alloy capscrews. If new capscrews are not available, then the LeTourneau-fabricated capscrews should only be torqued to
Grade 5 specifications (70% of Grade 8 value - lubed).

GENERATION2
DRAFT
The torque specifications on the charts on page 1 only apply to Grade 8 bolts, metric bolts and 12pt black-colored alloy
steel capscrews. Capscrews with gold-colored zinc chromate plating are excluded from these specifications and these
capscrews should not be used on loaders or dozers except for planetary drive covers.
Grade 8 Bolt  12p Alloy Capscrew  Does not apply X

CLEANING: It is mandatory to remove all paint, rust and debris from all mating surfaces, surfaces under the head of the bolt or
capscrew and threads prior to installation and torquing of all bolts and capscrews.
