This book is a guide to equipment care. The illustrated step-by-step instructions are grouped by servicing intervals; items not having specific intervals are listed under WHEN REQUIRED.
Circled numbers in the LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE CHART are to key the charted items to the instructions in the book.
Use the service meter to determine servicing intervals. Calendar intervals (daily, weekly, 2 weeks, etc.) shown may be used instead of service meter intervals if it provides more convenient servicing schedules; and approximates the indicated service meter reading.
NOTE: Under extremely severe, dusty or wet operating conditions, more frequent lubrication than is specified in the LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE CHART may be necessary.

Perform previous interval items at multiples of the original requirements. For example, at EVERY 100 SERVICE HOURS OR 2 WEEKS, also perform those items listed under EVERY 50 SERVICE HOURS OR WEEKLY and EVERY 10 SERVICE HOURS OR DAILY.
Some photographs in this publication may show details or attachments that may be different from your unit. Also, the ROPS (Rollover Protective Structure), for some photographs, may have been removed for illustrative purposes.
Continuing improvement and advancement of product design may cause changes to your machine which may not be included in this publication. Each publication is reviewed and revised, as required, to update and include these changes in later editions.
Whenever a question arises regarding your Caterpillar product, or this publication, please consult your Caterpillar dealer for the latest available information.

Maintenance Recommendations
Cooling
NOTICE
Never add coolant to an overheated engine; allow engine to cool first.
Check specific gravity of antifreeze solution frequently in cold weather to assure adequate protection.
When permanent antifreeze and water solutions are used in the cooling system, the solution should be drained and replaced EVERY 2000 SERVICE HOURS OR 1 YEAR.
However, when additions of inhibitor are made to the cooling system EVERY 500 SERVICE HOURS OR 3 MONTHS, it is not necessary to drain and refill yearly. The antifreeze change period can be extended to 4000 service hours or 2 years.
Do not use Caterpillar Cooling System Conditioner with Dowtherm 209 Full-Fill Coolant.
If machine is to be stored in, or shipped to, an area with below freezing temperatures; the cooling system must either be protected to the lowest expected ambient temperature, or drained completely.
-26/04/2005
NOTE: The engine cooling system is protected to -20°F (-29°C), with permanent-type antifreeze, when shipped from the factory.
Use clean water that is low in scale forming minerals, not softened water. Add Caterpillar Cooling System Conditioner, or equivalent, to maintain a 3% concentration.
Whenever draining and refilling cooling system, always recheck the coolant level when the engine reaches normal operating temperature.
Filling at over 5 U.S. gallons (19 liters) per minute can cause air pockets in the cooling system.
Premix antifreeze solution to provide protection to the lowest expected ambient temperature. Pure undiluted antifreeze will freeze at -10°F (-23°C).
Operate with a thermostat in the cooling system all year-round. Cooling system problems can arise without a thermostat.
Electrical
NOTICE
When using jumper cables to start machine, be sure to connect in parallel: POSITIVE (+) to POSITIVE (+) and NEGATIVE (-) to NEGATIVE (-).
When using external electrical source to start machine, turn disconnect switch off and remove key before attaching jumper cables. Insert key and turn disconnect switch on, before starting.
Hydraulic
NOTICE
Make-up oil added to the hydraulic system must mix with the oil already in the tank. Use only petroleum products unless system is equipped for use with special products.
Water or air can cause pump failure. If hydraulic oil becomes cloudy, then water or air is entering the system. Drain fluid, retighten hydraulic suction line clamps, purge and refill system. See your Caterpillar dealer for purging instructions. Fuel
NOTICE
Fill fuel tank at the end of each day of operation to drive out moisture laden air and to prevent condensation. Do not fill the tank to the brim. The fuel expands when it gets warm and may overflow.
Check fuel level with dipstick in filler opening.
Water and sediment should be drained from the fuel tank at the start of each shift or after the fuel tank has been filled and allowed to stand for 5 to 10 minutes.
Drain fuel tank of moisture and sediment as required by prevailing conditions.
Drain water and sediment from the main fuel storage tank weekly, and before the tank is refilled. This will help prevent water or sediment from being pumped from the storage tank into the machine fuel tank.
After changing fuel filters, always bleed fuel system to remove air bubbles from system.
Air Intake
Check precleaner screen daily for accumulation of dust and debris.
Service air cleaners when RED band in indicator locks in visible position.
Scheduled Oil Sampling
Use Scheduled Oil Sampling to monitor machine condition and maintenance requirements.
Each oil sample should be taken when the oil is hot, and well mixed, to insure a sample which is representative of the oil in the compartment.
Consult your Caterpillar dealer for complete information, and assistance in establishing a Scheduled Oil Sampling program for your equipment.
General
NOTICE
Accumulated grease and oil on a machine is a fire hazard. Remove this debris, with steam cleaning or high pressure water, at least every 1000 hours or any time any significant quantity of oil is spilled on a machine.
Drain moisture and sediment from air reservoirs at the beginning of each day of operation.
Wipe all fittings, caps and plugs before servicing.
