When objects are struck, wear protective glasses inorder to avoid injury to the eyes.

14 SEBU6359-09Safety SectionMounting and Dismounting

Chips or other debris may fly off objects when objectsare struck. Before objects are struck, ensure that noone will be injured by flying debris.

i01372247

Mounting and DismountingSMCS Code: 1000; 4450; 7405

Inspect the steps, the handholds, and the work areabefore mounting the engine. Keep these items cleanand keep these items in good repair.

Mount the engine and dismount the engine only atlocations that have steps and/or handholds. Do notclimb on the engine, and do not jump off the engine.

Face the engine in order to mount the engine ordismount the engine. Maintain a three-point contactwith the steps and handholds. Use two feet and onehand or use one foot and two hands. Do not use anycontrols as handholds.

Do not stand on components which cannot supportyour weight. Use an adequate ladder or use a workplatform. Secure the climbing equipment so that theequipment will not move.

Do not carry tools or supplies when you mount theengine or when you dismount the engine. Use a handline to raise and lower tools or supplies.

i02526919

Ignition SystemsSMCS Code: 1550

Ignition systems can cause electrical shocks. Avoidcontacting the ignition system components andwiring.

Do not attempt to remove the valve covers when theengine is operating. The transformers are groundedto the valve covers. Personal injury or death mayresult and the ignition system will be damaged if thevalve covers are removed during engine operation.The engine will not operate without the valve covers.

When the ignition harness is reconnected, ensurethat the Engine Control Switch (ECS) is in the STOPposition or the OFF/RESET position so that theignition system is immediately discharged.

If the wiring harness is reconnected with the ECS inthe AUTOMATIC position or the MANUAL STARTposition, the storage capacitor of the ignition systemmay discharge. If the wiring harness is reconnectedwith the ECS in the AUTOMATIC position or theMANUAL START position, the storage capacitor ofthe ignition system may fire a spark plug. The sparkplug will ignite any gas which is in the cylinder. Thecrankshaft can rotate and the crankshaft can bedamaged. The driven equipment can also rotate andthe driven equipment can also be damaged. Personalinjury or damage to the equipment may be a result.

Gas that has accumulated in the exhaust systemmay also be ignited.

Magneto (If Equipped)The storage capacitor in a breakerless magneto canbe charged by turning the magneto by hand. Thestorage capacitor can be charged even when thewiring harness is disconnected from the magneto.

Before connecting the wiring harness to a breakerlessmagneto, discharge the storage capacitor to theground. Use the following procedure to discharge thestorage capacitor:

1. Attach one end of a wire to the magneto housing.

2. Contact the other end of the wire to the connectorpins for the wiring harness that is on the magneto.

You will hear a “snap” when the storage capacitordischarges.

3. Ground all of the connector pins.

This will ensure that no charge is in the magneto.Some breakerless magnetos have more than onestorage capacitor.

Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position beforeconnecting the wiring harness. If the ignition switchis in the OFF position, the storage capacitor isimmediately discharged to the ground when thewiring harness is connected to the magneto.

Caterpillar Digital Ignition System(CDIS)The Caterpillar Digital Ignition System (CDIS)replaces mechanical parts that are prone to wear.The system provides more precise control of ignitiontiming.


Before Starting Engine

The digital ignition system includes a timing disc,a speed sensor (timing), a timing control, andwiring harnesses. There is no magneto. The sensormonitors the rotation of the timing disc in order tosense a reference position of the crankshaft. Thesensor sends a signal to the timing control for eachcylinder. The timing control initiates the ignition byproviding a pulse to the transformer of the propercylinder.

There are two options for providing the electricalpower for the timing control:

• The customer provides a source of 12 VDC or24 VDC. (The customer can order a belt drivenalternator and a battery from the factory.)

• An alternator enables self-powered ignition.

The optional alternator is installed onto the magnetodrive. A wiring harness connects the alternator toa voltage regulator in order to provide the correctvoltage to the digital ignition system. Voltage for thetiming control is regulated to 27 ± 3 VDC.

For further information, consult your Caterpillardealer.

i00659904

Before Starting EngineSMCS Code: 1000

Inspect the engine for potential hazards.

Before starting the engine, ensure that no one is on,underneath, or close to the engine. Ensure that thearea is free of personnel.

Ensure that the engine is equipped with a lightingsystem that is suitable for the conditions. Ensure thatall lights work properly.

All protective guards and all protective covers mustbe installed if the engine must be started in orderto perform service procedures. To help prevent anaccident that is caused by parts in rotation, workaround the parts carefully.

Do not bypass the automatic shutoff circuits. Do notdisable the automatic shutoff circuits. The circuits areprovided in order to help prevent personal injury. Thecircuits are also provided in order to help preventengine damage.

On the initial start-up of a new engine or an enginethat has been serviced, be prepared to stop theengine if an overspeed condition occurs. This maybe accomplished by shutting off the fuel supply to theengine, or shutting off the ignition system.

See the Service Manual for repairs and foradjustments.

i02136012

On the initial start-up of a new engine or an enginethat has been serviced, make provisions to stopthe engine if an overspeed occurs. This may beaccomplished by shutting off the fuel supply to theengine, or shutting off the ignition system.

i00887114

Electrical SystemSMCS Code: 1000; 1400

Never disconnect any charging unit circuit or batterycircuit cable from the battery when the charging unitis operating. A spark can cause the combustiblegases that are produced by some batteries to ignite.

Check the electrical wires daily for wires that areloose or frayed. Tighten all loose electrical wiresbefore the engine is operated. Repair all frayedelectrical wires before the engine is started.

Grounding PracticesProper grounding is necessary for optimum engineperformance and reliability. Improper grounding willresult in uncontrolled electrical circuit paths and inunreliable electrical circuit paths.

Uncontrolled electrical circuit paths can result indamage to main bearings, to crankshaft journalsurfaces, and to aluminum components. Uncontrolledelectrical circuit paths can also cause electricalactivity that may degrade the engine electronics andcommunications.

For the starting motor, do not attach the batterynegative terminal to the engine block.

Use a ground strap to ground the case of all controlpanels to the engine block.

Ground the engine block with a ground strap that isfurnished by the customer. Connect this ground strapto the ground plane.

Use a separate ground strap to ground the batterynegative terminal for the control system to the groundplane.

Rubber couplings may connect the steel piping ofthe cooling system and the radiator. This causes thepiping and the radiator to be electrically isolated.Ensure that the piping and the radiator is continuouslygrounded to the engine. Use ground straps thatbypass the rubber couplings.

Ensure that all grounds are secure and free ofcorrosion.
