Set-up Safety

• Disconnect battery connections before beginning the installation.
• Do not allow anyone to set up and/or assemble the oil cooler cab mount kit until he or she has read the dealer set-up manual and is completely familiar with all safety precautions.
• Become familiar with the safety decals on the oil cooler.
• Do not allow inexperienced persons unfamiliar with the track loader, or the tools/equipment used to set up the oil cooler cab mount kit, to perform any set up procedures.
• Do not allow persons under the influence of alcohol, medications, or other drugs that can impair judgment or cause drowsiness to set up the oil cooler cab mount kit.
• Make sure the set-up area is clear of any distracting objects. Keep work areas clean and free of grease and oil to avoid slipping or falling.
• Keep children, bystanders and other workers away from the unit while being set up.
• Wear safety glasses, ear protection, respirators, gloves, hard hats, safety shoes and other protective clothing when required.
• It is the dealer’s responsibility to be aware of work area hazards when assembling the oil cooler cab mount kit.
• Do not replace components or parts with other than factory-supplied parts. To do so may decrease the effectiveness of the oil cooler. If you notice any missing or damaged parts contact Loftness immediately.
• Never attempt to make any adjustments to the oil cooler cab mount kit if the engine is running or the key is in the “ON” position in the track loader. Before leaving the operator’s position, disengage power to the track loader and remove ignition key.

Hoist (Lifting) Safety

• During maneuvering and set-up, it is recommended that a power hoist, or lift, be used to lift the cooler cab mount kit assembly into the operating position.
• Make sure the lifting device (hoist or heavy equipment) is capable of lifting the specified parts and/or assemblies.
• All personnel must be properly trained and experienced lift operators.

Hydraulic Safety

• The hydraulic system is under high pressure. Make sure all lines and fittings are tight and in good condition. These fluids escaping under high pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate skin and cause serious injury.
• Never check for leaks by using any part of your body to feel for escaping fluid.
• Always use a piece of wood to check for leaks.
• WARNING: Contact with high pressure fluids may cause fluid penetration and burn hazards. Fluid that is under pressure can penetrate body tissue. Fluid penetration can cause serious injury and possible death. If fluid is injected into the skin, seek medical attention immediately!

Installation Instructions

Set-up Disconnect Battery

CAUTION: Disconnect battery connections before beginning the cab kit installation. Failure to do so could result in electric shock, fire, or damage to the oil cooler.

Mounting the Frame and Oil Cooler

• Remove four screws (1) on each side of the cab.
• WARNING: The cooler mounting frame and the oil cooler are heavy. It is recommended that a power hoist be used to lift and place them into position.
• Lift the cooler mounting frame and place into position on top of the track loader cab. Use eight M8 x 25 bolts with 1/4 in. flat washers (1) (four on each side) supplied with the kit to secure the frame.
• While the oil cooler is still on the ground, remove the back cover (1). This allows for easier access to the hydraulic fittings when connecting the hydraulic hoses.
• Insert bolts into the lower set of holes (hole set B) on the cooler brackets when mounting to the oil cooler. Make sure all bolts are tightened.
• Using a hoist, lift the oil cooler and place on top of the cooler mounting frame. Align the slotted holes (1) in the mounting brackets to the holes (2) in the mounting frame.
• Secure using 1/2″-13 x 1-1/4″ bolts supplied with the kit. Two bolts at each bracket (8 total).

Connecting Hydraulic Hoses

• Open the engine compartment at rear of the track loader.
• Remove hose guide (1) (four bolts total).
• NOTE: Guide may need to be modified for hose routing. Remove existing track loader cooler hose (2).
• NOTE: Make sure the two elbow fittings are inserted  and positioned into the oil cooler as shown.
• Connect one end of the long hose (1) supplied with the kit to the INLET on the oil cooler. Tighten.
• Connect one end of the short hose (2) supplied with the kit to the OUTLET on the oil cooler. Tighten.
• NOTE: Keep hoses to the left-rear corner of the cab.
• They will need to be routed through the hose guide that has been temporarily removed.
• Connect the opposite end of the long hose (1) to the track loader cooler. Tighten.
• Connect the opposite end of the short hose to the manifold on track loader. Tighten.
• Position the hose clamp (1) where shown, place both oil cooler hoses into the clamp and secure using the provided hardware.
• (Procedure continued on following)
• Replace hose guide (1). The two oil cooler hoses (2) should be routed through the guide as shown.
• Secure hoses going to tracked loader cooler with tie-wraps (3).
• Remove the shipping tie-wraps securing the wiring harness to the cooler and put the rear cover back and oil cooler. Tighten the hardware.

Electrical Connections

• Route the oil cooler harness down through the hose guide, following the same path as the oil cooler hydraulic hoses.
• Cut the loop of the inline fuse holder (1) at the half-way mark, keeping an equal length of wire on either side of the fuse holder. Strip both ends of the wire.
• Connect one end to the red positive (+) 8 AWG wire of the harness using a butt connector (2).
• Strip the end of the white negative (—) wire and attach a ring terminal (3).
• Tilt the cab up on the track loader to provide access to the wiring harness located underneath the cab.
• NOTE: Refer to the track loader owner’s manual for instructions on how to properly and safely tilt the cab.
• Pull orange wire (1) out of the oil cooler wiring harness (approximately 5 ft.).
• Route the end of the orange wire underneath the cab. Make sure enough of the wire is pulled through to allow the wire to move freely when the cab is tilted up and down. Avoid any potential pinch points or sharp turns that could sever the wire.
• Strip the end of the orange wire and attach an 18 gauge male bullet connector (1).
• Locate the wiring harness (1) underneath the cab and remove the electrical tape to uncover the harness end.
• Connect the orange wire (1) to the white keyed power wire (2). The white wire is equipped with a female bullet connector. Use electrical tape to secure the harness/connection back to its original position.
• Secure the orange wire (1) to the track loader control wiring using tie-wraps (2).
• Tilt cab on track loader back down.
• Unfasten the three bolts and remove the battery access panel (1).
• Connect the white negative (—) 8 AWG and 18 AWG wire of the oil cooler harness to the negative terminal on the battery.
• Reconnect track loader’s battery connection.
• Place the battery access panel back into position. Reinsert the bolts and tighten.
• (Procedure continued on following.)

12 Volt Power Source Connection

• The 12 volt power source is accessed via the left side of the rear engine compartment.
• Remove the four bolts and cover to gain access. Use a 13 mm wrench to remove the top bolts (1) and a 10 mm wrench to remove the lower bolts (2).
• NOTE: The fuse block does not need to be removed from the mount to add wire.
• Remove the screw (1) on the wire labeled “3-OUT”.
• Pull 24 in. of the red 8 AWG wire from the braided harness. Add a ring connector to the wire end.
• Connect the wire (2) to the terminal (ensure wire labeled “3-OUT” is connected as well). Reinsert screw and tighten.
• Secure the cooler wiring harness (1) to the oil cooler hydraulic hoses with tie-wraps.

Securing Hoses and Wiring Harness

• Make sure the oil cooler hydraulic hoses and wiring harness are secure. Use tie-wraps where needed.
• Avoid any potential pinch points or sharp turns that could cut or wear on the hoses or wires.
• Provide slack in the hoses and wires to allow them to move freely when the cab is tilted up and down.

Check Hydraulic Oil Level

• The oil cooler cab mount kit is shipped without hydraulic oil present. Also, some hydraulic oil may have been lost during the installation, especially when the track loader’s original hoses were disconnected.
• After the oil cooler cab mount kit installation, check the hydraulic oil level in the track loader. Add as needed.
• NOTE: Refer to your Takeuchi TL12V2/R2 Owner’s Manual for checking and adding hydraulic oil.
