Installation Guide for Dozers and Front End Loaders

• Protect all MMS components with welding protection materials. Welding protection materials
may include welding blankets, welding curtains, and/or welding screens. The welding protection
materials must be high heat resistant, non-flammable, non-melting, and spark-resistant. The
materials should be used to isolate, cover, and protect all MMS hardware components (hardware,
enclosures, conduit, coax cables, power cables/wires, wiring harnesses, antennas, etc.) from:
•Sparks
•Welding slag
•Molten metal
•Extreme high heat
•Arc from heavy welding
•The torch flame
• DO NOT connect welding ground leads directly to any MMS hardware, enclosures, masts, etc.
• DO NOT lay welding cables over or near the equipment/vehicle electrical harnesses. Welding
voltage may be induced into the electrical harness and cause damage to components.
• All finished welds must be fully covered with rust-inhibiting paint. The paint color should
match the color of the surrounding base surface and should be approved by the controlling
maintenance department for each equipment type.
• Modular recommends that all welds be periodically inspected as part of standard system
checks, and repaired or re-painted as necessary if cracks or other defects are visible.
