Compatible Models: CAT 307E2/308E2 excavators, 242D/246D skid steer loaders

Matching Relationship: With radiator assembly, M12×40 Bolts and spring washers are included for mounting on the side beam of the engine compartment to secure the radiator.

Compatibility and Applications:
Suitable for: Both sides of the radiator assembly mounting points on the engines of 307E2/308E2 excavators and 242D/246D skid steer loaders. The radiator is secured using brackets and rubber vibration damping pads to absorb engine and machine vibrations, preventing loosening and leakage of radiator pipes and interfaces, and ensuring stable cooling system operation.

Application Scenarios: Suitable for vibrating operating conditions such as excavation and loading. When the engine is under high load, the mounting components buffer vibrations, preventing radiator displacement and collisions. Suitable for high-temperature environments, ensuring efficient cooling system operation and preventing engine overheating.

Compatible Usage: Uses with radiators, vibration damping pads, bolts, and washers. The bracket positions the radiator, the vibration damping pads absorb vibrations, and the bolts are tightened to form a stable mounting system. Suitable for long-term high-frequency vibration conditions, extending the service life of the radiator and pipes.

Installation and Maintenance Points

Installation: Clean the mounting surface and bracket surface. Install the rubber vibration damping pads onto the bracket, and after positioning, insert M12×40 bolts and tighten symmetrically to a torque of 45 N·m. Check the fit between the radiator and the bracket, ensuring the vibration damping pads are not misaligned and that the radiator is secure and without interference.

Maintenance: Every 250 hours, check the bracket for deformation and the vibration damping pads for aging and cracking. Replace aged vibration damping pads immediately. Regularly check the bolt torque to prevent loosening and ensure the radiator is firmly fixed.

Replacement: Disassemble the old parts and inspect the mounting surface and side beams. Correct any deformation. Before installing the new parts, check their dimensions and surface quality. Ensure the bracket is free of cracks and the vibration damping pads are undamaged, ensuring accurate positioning and effective vibration damping of the cooling system after installation.
