Maintenance
The maintenance section is a guide to equipment care. The Maintenance Interval Schedule (MIS) lists the items to be maintained at a specific service interval. Items without specific intervals are listed under the "When Required" service interval. The Maintenance Interval Schedule lists the page number for the step-by-step instructions required to accomplish the scheduled maintenance. Use the Maintenance Interval Schedule as an index or "one safe source" for all maintenance procedures.
Maintenance Intervals
Use the service hour meter to determine servicing intervals. Calendar intervals shown (daily, weekly, monthly, etc.) can be used instead of service hour meter intervals if the calendar intervals
provide more convenient servicing schedules and approximate the indicated service hour meter reading. Perform the recommended service at the interval that occurs first.
Under severe, dusty, or wet operating conditions, more frequent lubrication than is specified in the maintenance intervals chart might be necessary.
Perform service on items at multiples of the original requirement. For example, at every 500 service hours or 3 months, also service those items listed under every 250 service hours or monthly and every 10 service hours or daily.
Certified Engine Maintenance
Proper maintenance and repair are essential to keep the engine and machine systems operating correctly. As the heavy-duty off-road diesel engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in the Owner Manual, Operation and Maintenance Manual, and Service Manual.

Burn Prevention
SMCS - 7000
Do not touch any part of an operating engine. Allow the engine to cool before any maintenance is performed on the engine. Relieve all pressure in the air system, in the oil system, in the lubrication system, in the fuel system, or in the cooling system before any lines, fittings, or related items are disconnected.
Coolant
When the engine is at operating temperature, the engine coolant is hot. The coolant is also under pressure. The radiator and all lines to the heaters or to the engine contain hot coolant.
Any contact with hot coolant or with steam can cause severe burns. Allow cooling system components to cool before the cooling system is drained.
Check the coolant level only after the engine has been stopped.
Ensure that the filler cap is cool before removing the filler cap. The filler cap must be cool enough to touch with a bare hand. Remove the filler cap slowly to relieve pressure.
Cooling system conditioner contains alkali. Alkali can cause personal injury. Do not allow alkali to contact the skin, the eyes, or the mouth.
Oils
Hot oil and hot components can cause personal injury. Do not allow hot oil to contact the skin. Also, do not allow hot components to contact the skin.
Remove the hydraulic tank filler cap only after the engine has been stopped. The filler cap must be cool enough to touch with a bare hand. Follow the standard procedure in this manual to remove the hydraulic tank filler cap.
Batteries
The liquid in a battery is an electrolyte. Electrolyte is an acid that can cause personal injury. Do not allow electrolyte to contact the skin or the eyes.
Do not smoke while checking the battery electrolyte levels. Batteries give off flammable fumes which can explode.
Always wear protective glasses when you work with batteries. Wash hands after touching batteries. The use of gloves is recommended.

Crushing Prevention and Cutting Prevention
SMCS - 7000
Support the equipment properly when you work beneath the equipment. Do not depend on the hydraulic cylinders to hold up the equipment. An attachment can fall if a control is moved, or if a hydraulic line breaks.
Unless you are instructed otherwise, never attempt adjustments while the machine is moving. Also, never attempt adjustments while the engine is running.
Whenever there are attachment linkages, the clearance in the linkage area will increase or the clearance in the linkage area will decrease with movement of the attachment.
Stay clear of all rotating parts and all moving parts.
Keep objects away from moving fan blades. The fan blade will throw objects or the fan blade will cut objects.
Do not use a kinked wire rope cable or a frayed wire rope cable. Wear gloves when you handle wire rope cable.
When you strike a retainer pin with force, the retainer pin can fly out. The loose retainer pin can injure personnel. Make sure that the area is clear of people when you strike a retainer pin.
In order to avoid injury to your eyes, wear protective glasses when you strike a retainer pin.
Chips or other debris can fly off objects when you strike the objects. Ensure that an injury will not occur from flying debris before you hit any object.
Rollover Protective Structure (ROPS) or Falling Objects
Protective Structure (FOPS)
These guards are positioned above the operator's compartment and these guards are secured to the machine.
To avoid the possible weakening of the ROPS or of the FOPS, consult a Caterpillar dealer before you alter the guards. Do not alter the structure by welding, cutting, adding weight, or drilling holes into the structure.
Any alteration that is not specifically authorized by Caterpillar invalidates the Caterpillar certification for the ROPS and for the FOPS. The protection that is offered by the ROPS will be impaired if the ROPS has structural damage. Damage to the structure can be caused by an overturn, falling objects, etc.
Do not weld brackets to the ROPS and do not drill holes in the ROPS in order to mount fire extinguishers, first aid kits, and lights to the ROPS structure. Consult your Caterpillar dealer for mounting guidelines.

• Lower the loader bucket until the loader bucket exerts a slight downward pressure onto the ground.
• The engine is stopped.
• The engine start switch in the OFF position and the key is removed.
Pressure Air
Pressure air can cause personal injury. When pressure air is used for cleaning, wear a protective face shield, protective clothing and protective shoes.
The maximum air pressure must be below 205 kPa (30 psi) for cleaning purposes.
Trapped Pressure
Pressure can be trapped in a hydraulic system. Trapped pressure can cause sudden machine movement or attachment movement. Use caution if you disconnect hydraulic lines or fittings.
High pressure oil that is released can cause a hose to whip. High pressure oil that is released can cause oil to spray. Fluid penetration can cause serious injury and possible death.
Fluid Penetration
When you check for a leak, use a board or cardboard. Leaking fluid that is under pressure can penetrate body tissue. Fluid penetration can cause serious injury and possible death. A pin hole leak can cause severe injury. If fluid is injected into your skin, you must obtain treatment immediately. Seek treatment from a doctor that is familiar with this type of injury.
Asbestos Information
Caterpillar equipment and replacement parts that are shipped from Caterpillar are asbestos free. Caterpillar recommends the use of only genuine Caterpillar replacement parts. If any replacement parts that contain asbestos are used, the following guidelines should be used in handling these parts and asbestos debris.
Use caution. Avoid inhaling dust that might be generated when you handle components that contain asbestos fibers. If this dust is inhaled, it can be hazardous to your health. The components that may contain asbestos fibers are brake pads, brake bands, lining material, clutch plates, and some gaskets. The asbestos that is used in these components is usually bound in a resin or sealed in some way. Normal handling is not hazardous, unless airborne dust that contains asbestos is generated.
If dust which can contain asbestos is present, there are several guidelines that should be followed:
• Never use compressed air for cleaning.
• Avoid sweeping materials that contain asbestos.
• Also avoid grinding materials that contain asbestos.
• Use a wet method in order to clean up asbestos materials.
• You may also use a vacuum that is equipped with a highly efficient filter that cleans particulate air.
• Use exhaust ventilation on permanent machining jobs.
• Wear an approved respirator if there is no other way to control the dust.
• Comply with applicable rules and regulations for the work place. In the USA, use Occupational Safety and Health Administration requirements. These OSHA requirements can be found in "29 CFR 1910.1001".
• Obey environmental rules for the disposal of asbestos and obey environmental regulations for the disposal of asbestos.
• Stay away from areas that might have asbestos particles in the air.
