Tools Required

    • J 38425 Fan Hub Wrench
    • J 38426 Pulley Strap Wrench

Removal Procedure

    Notice: If a fan blade is bent or damaged, do not repair and use the damaged part. Replace a bent or damaged fan assembly with a new fan assembly. Using a fan with a different diameter, pitch, number of blades, or type of blade material may effect the cooling efficiency, performance and engine noise level.

  1. If a fan assembly fails, inspect the hub and the drive components. A fan assembly may fail due to an imbalance in the hub. This type of failure may not be the fault of the blades.
  2. Tilt the cab. Refer to Cab Tilting .

Installation Procedure

    Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
