DELIVERY INSPECTION, UNLOADING and MERGING LOADER ASSEMBLY MANUAL

DELIVERY INSPECTION - IMMEDIATELY UPON RECEIPT & BEFORE UNLOADING

Shipment within the continental United States and Canada is on dedicated trucks to the point of
delivery. Because of this, there is usually very little chance of damage to the equipment, while in
transit. Nevertheless, it is strongly recommended that, before unloading, the entire shipment be
inspected for damage that may have occurred as a result of poor road conditions or an accident.
● Print the "DAMAGED GOODS REPORT" located in this section or from the machine's electronic manual
DVD and complete it during the inspection and unloading procedure. This form must be returned to the
LeTourneau’s Product Support Group in Longview, Texas, USA following machine commissioning. The
form can be printed on either 8 ½” x 11” or A4 paper.

● Check all tie downs anchoring the main frame or other components to the trailer or flatbed, to verify that
they are in place and tight. Refer to the following illustrations:

● "TYPICAL CHAIN TIE DOWNS AT UPPER AREAS OF FRONT FRAME"

● "TYPICAL CHAIN TIE DOWNS AND BLOCKING AT FRONT AXLE"
● "TYPICAL CHAIN TIE DOWNS AND BLOCKING AT REAR OF FRONT FRAME"
● "TYPICAL CHAIN TIE DOWNS AT REAR OF REAR FRAME"
● "TYPICAL CHAIN TIE DOWNS AT FRONT OF FRONT FRAME"
● "TYPICAL CHAIN TIE DOWNS ON LIFT ARMS"
● "TYPICAL FIBER TIE DOWNS SECURING LIFT ARMS TO TRAILER"

This photograph shows typical chain tie downs at the upper areas of the front frame. Note banding used
to secure hoist cylinders.

Check that original blocking is in place. Note any loose chains or tie downs, and movement of the main
frame and packages from their original position. This is important with respect to the possibility of impact
damage to the components during transit.

Document any such observations on the “DAMAGED GOODS REPORT”. Any obvious damages should be
noted on the bill of lading for future reference.
Check the interior of components that are easily accessible for evidence of damage, particularly on those
items that are more susceptible to damage as a result of vehicle impact or severe vibration.
Look for loose or severed hoses or displaced components.
Disposition of any equipment that shows major damage which occurred during transit must be made by the
receiver before the equipment is unloaded. Notify the proper authorities so that a decision can be made
quickly to avoid demurrage on the delivery vehicles.

LeTourneau does not cover shipping damage. Claims are to be filed with shipper.
After receipt of components, and prior to any assembly, check the contents of each container against
the packing list. Report any shortages to prevent delays in assembling the loader on the "DAMAGED
GOODS REPORT ".

UNLOADING
a. Refer to illustration "LAYOUT OF THE ASSEMBLY AREA" for a typical site showing how the major
packages of shipment are laid out for assembly. Leave enough space between the offloaded
components to allow access by cranes and lift trucks.

1. The front and rear frames should be located in the center of the erection area.
2. Jack stands, as shown in the section of the manual entitled SUGGESTED
MANPOWER, FIXTURES, TOOLS AND SUPPLIES list are recommended.
However, the use of hardwood blocks for cribbing is permissible.
3. The main frame should be supported high enough for the installation of the
wheels and tires.
4. The frame lock must be installed between the frames at all times while the
machine is supported on jack stands.

BE SURE the surface is adequate to support the weight of the front and rear frames without
settling, which could result in the frames falling from the jack stands.

b. Position the heavy lifting cranes to each side of where the frames will be placed for assembly
c. Use the forklift to unload various packed shipments such as the planetary drives, bucket cylinders,
catwalks and l adders, small parts box, ROPS and FOPS, etc.

1. Position the planetary drive and traction motors close to their respective mounting location.
Mounting location is determined by the metal stamping located on the planetary drive to axle
flange that indicates RR for right rear, LR for left rear, LF for left front and RF for right front.
2. Position the catwalks and ladders near to where the left side of the machine will be
positioned, as the left side of the machine is where the majority of the catwalks and
ladders are installed.
3. Position the small parts box near the catwalks and ladders and close enough to the
side of the machine for easy access to personnel but not so close as to inhibit
production.
4. Some small parts such as hydraulic hoses, exhaust stacks may be shipped in the front
and rear axle. Remove these components and place in a safe location.
5. Be sure all components are positioned within the working area of the cranes. Refer to
the following illustrations:
"POSITIONING OF THE FRONT PLANETARY DRIVES AND TRACTION

2. The hump hoses are properly installed when clamped tightly against the lip, which is
welded to the air tube. The hoses must be positioned squarely against the lip to ensure
no dust enters the engine. Each joint has two clamps at each tube/housing joint. These
clamps must be secure for a proper seal. Refer to illustration “HUMP HOSE
INSTALLATION”.

3. It is critically important to check all intake tubing to ensure that no contact is made with any
structural components. Contact with structural components can cause an opening in the tubing,
allowing dust to enter the engine.

The ducting network is made of metal tube structures and flexible ducting material. Some are referred to as
“flex hoses” and other are referred to “hump hoses”. Flex hoses typically are a thinner, canvas type material
with wire reinforcement. Hump hoses are typically thicker rubber type material that transitions from a larger
cross section of ducting to a smaller cross section.

Use either a hydraulic or pneumatic torque multiplier as shown in illustration "TORQUE MULTIPLIER
– FOR BALL CAP CAPSCREW INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL" for ball caps with non-countersunk
capscrews.
Current production 50-Series Loaders and Dozers use ball caps with fastener holes that are not
recessed. The capscrew heads are flush with the surface of the ball cap. Some ball caps have two
tapped holes for installation of the stud. The stud must be installed to the full depth of the threads for
safe use. Proper tightening of the ball cap capscrews requires the use of a torque multiplier which is
installed in a tapped hole in the ball cap (refer to illustration "TORQUE MULTIPLIER – FOR BALL CAP
