Caterpillar TH360B Telehandler: Maintenance (Every Year)

Cooling System Coolant Sample (Level 1) - Obtain

NOTICE: Always use a designated pump for oil sampling, and use a separate designated pump for coolant sampling. Using the same pump for both types of samples may contaminate the samples that are being drawn. This contaminate may cause a false analysis and an incorrect interpretation that could lead to concerns by both dealers and customers.

Note: Level 1 results may indicate a need for Level 2 Analysis.

Use the following guidelines for proper sampling of the coolant:

Keep the unused sampling bottles stored in plastic bags.
Keep the lids on empty sampling bottles until you are ready to collect the sample.
Complete the information on the label for the sampling bottle before you begin to take the samples.
Use a designated pump to collect the sample in order to avoid contamination.
Obtain coolant samples directly from the coolant tank. You should not obtain the samples from any other location.
Place the sample in the mailing tube immediately after obtaining the sample in order to avoid contamination.
Never collect samples from the drain for a system. Submit the sample for Level 1 analysis.
