SECTION 1Definitions and Abbreviations
SAFETY MESSAGESThere are several specific safety messages on thismachine. The exact location of the hazards anddescription of the hazards are reviewed in thissection. All personnel working on or operating themachine must become familiarized with all the safetymessages.
Make sure that all of the safety messages are legible.Clean the safety messages or replace the safetymessages if you cannot read the words. Replace theillustrations if the illustrations are not legible. Whenyou clean the safety messages, use a cloth, water andsoap. Do not use solvent, gasoline or other harshchemicals to clean the safety messages. Solvents,gasoline or harsh chemicals could loosen theadhesive that secures the safety messages. Looseadhesive will allow the safety messages to detach.
Replace any safety message that is damaged ormissing. If a safety message is attached to a part thatis replaced, install a new safety message on thereplacement part.
DO NOT OPERATEThis safety label is located on control & junctionboxes..
Do not open this junction box unless you read andunderstand the instructions and warnings in theOperator and Maintenance Manual. Failure tofollow instructions or heed the warnings couldresult in serious injury or death.
BACKING RUNOVER HAZARD This safety label is located on the rear of the trailer.
The vehicle is equipped with a back-up alarm.Alarm must sound when operating this vehicle inreverse. Failure to maintain a clear view in thedirection of travel could result in serious injury ordeath.
FALL HAZARD This safety label is located on either side of thegooseneck.
Do not walk on the top of decks without fall arrestPPE. Serious injury or death could occur from afall.

DESCRIPTIONThis section establishes scheduled maintenance inspections of the MET and associated systems at the desig-nated frequencies. Performing these inspections will identify potential system discrepancies and allow preven-tative maintenance to be performed before a component or system is rendered totally inoperative. Once again, these inspections are in addition to and do not replace existing CAT scheduled inspection requirements.

SECTION 3Special Inspections
ContentsDescription ............................................................................3-1 Hitch Ball Over Oscillation ............................................ ...3-1
Turn Limit Hard Contact....................................................3-1
DESCRIPTIONThis section contains special inspection requirementsfor exceeding an establish system limit. Theestablished inspections are designed to reveal anydamage sustained and determine serviceability ofthe MET system.
TURN LIMIT INDICATOR HARD CONTACTThe metal turn limit indicator is designed to provide avisual indication to the operator they have reachedthe maximum rotation of the MET. This is noted bythe gooseneck cheek contacting the turn limitindicator as shown below.
When the system experiences high impact loadsdamage may occur to both the gooseneck cheekplates and the turn limit indicator. The gooseneckcheek plates may buckle or begin to weaken andeventually cause further damage to adjoininggooseneck plate structure. The turn limit indicatormay experience excessive bending moments andbegin to tear or weaken lower mount plate andsaddle welds.
INSPECTION1. Check gooseneck cheek structure for damage.
Inspect welds for evidence of cracking and metalplates for signs of buckling.
2. Check adjoining gooseneck interior and exteriorstructure for damage. Inspect gooseneck
structure and plating for weld cracking andevidence of steel plate buckling.
3. Check turn limit indicator for damage. Inspectplates and welds for cracks and deformities.
4. Check turn limit indicator deck and saddlemounts for damage. Inspect rail mounting platesand angle brackets for cracks and loose hardware.
Contact MEGA Product Support at: 1-800- 345-8889for any major structural repair issues.
HITCH BALL OVER OSCILLATIONThe hitch ball assembly is designed to oscillate10 degrees within the lower socket assembly asshown below. This allows the MET a large range ofmotion when operating in the pit, on haul road, oncoal piles and when unloading the MET.

MET(DG)-CAT 785(D)-53 Feb 2017
SECTION 3Special Inspections
When operating the MET beyond the allowable10 degree limit, the ball will contact the upperretention plate and potentially damage severalcomponents of the system. Repeated and hardcontacts will damage upper retaining plates, upperbrass bushings, mount bolts and in severe casescause structural damage to the gooseneck, ball hitchtube, and hitch receiver upper mount plate.
INSPECTION1. Remove hitch ball skirt assembly.
2. Check for broken bolts on the upper retainingplate. If mount bolts are missing, have beensheared off or laying on the lower receiver, severecontact has occurred.
3. Check upper retaining plates and hitch ball fordamage. Inspect retaining plates and hitch ballfor evidence of hard contacts as shown below.
4. If hard contact is confirmed, remove upperretention plates and inspect the upper retentionplates, brass bushings and lower receiver asfollows:a. Inspect upper retention plates for
mushrooming of flat mating ends. Lay theretention plate on a flat surface and check forwarpage. If retention plate is mushroomed orwarped the retention plate set must bereplaced.
b. Check upper brass bushings for overoscillation ball contact as shown below. Ifcontacted and deformed replace upperbushing set.

c. Inspect lower receiver assembly forelongated/pulled upper retention plate boltholes and deformation of the lower receivermount ring as shown below. If eithercondition is noted, contact Mega ProductSupport to determine if the receiver can berefurbished or if a replacement is required.
5. Check interior and exterior gooseneck structureand plating for damage. Inspect gooseneckstructure and plating for weld cracking andevidence of steel plate buckling. If eithercondition is noted contact MEGA ProductSupport at: 1-800-345-8889.

DESCRIPTIONThis section contains a listing of recommended support parts that should be available in the supplywarehouse. The tables are categorized by specific sub system of the MET. DO NOT FORGET that METs are notall configured the same and there are several variations of hydraulic systems, gooseneck configurations andturn limit indicators. Ensure MET serial numbers and actual component part numbers are checked beforeordering any parts. Once parts are issued from warehouse stock ensure depleted quantities are replenished tokeep the recommended support parts package at 100%.
