Important Safety Information
Most accidents that involve product operation, maintenance and repair are caused by failure to observe
basic safety rules or precautions. An accident can often be avoided by recognizing potentially hazardous
situations before an accident occurs. A person must be alert to potential hazards. This person should also
have the necessary training, skills and tools to perform these functions properly.
Improper operation, lubrication, maintenance or repair of this product can be dangerous and
could result in injury or death.
Do not operate or perform any lubrication, maintenance or repair on this product, until you have
read and understood the operation, lubrication, maintenance and repair information.
Safety precautions and warnings are provided in this manual and on the product. If these hazard warnings
are not heeded, bodily injury or death could occur to you or to other persons.
The hazards are identified by the "Safety Alert Symbol" and followed by a "Signal Word" such as
"DANGER", "WARNING" or "CAUTION". The Safety Alert "WARNING" label is shown below.
The meaning of this safety alert symbol is as follows:
Attention! Become Alert! Your Safety is Involved.
The message that appears under the warning explains the hazard and can be either written or pictorially
presented.
Operations that may cause product damage are identified by "NOTICE" labels on the product and in
this publication.
Caterpillar cannot anticipate every possible circumstance that might involve a potential hazard.
The warnings in this publication and on the product are, therefore, not all inclusive. If a tool,
procedure, work method or operating technique that is not specifically recommended by Caterpillar
is used, you must satisfy yourself that it is safe for you and for others. You should also ensure that
the product will not be damaged or be made unsafe by the operation, lubrication, maintenance or
repair procedures that you choose.
The information, specifications, and illustrations in this publication are on the basis of information that was
available at the time that the publication was written. The specifications, torques, pressures,
measurements, adjustments, illustrations, and other items can change at any time. These changes can
affect the service that is given to the product. Obtain the complete and most current information before you
start any job. Caterpillar
®
dealers have the most current information available.
When replacement parts are required for this
product Caterpillar recommends using
Caterpillar replacement parts or parts with
equivalent specifications including, but not
limited to, physical dimensions, type, strength
and material.
Failure to heed this warning can lead to
premature failures, product damage, personal
injury or death.

Foreword
Foreword
Literature Information
This manual must be stored in the operator's
compartment in the literature holder or seat back
literature storage area.
This manual contains safety information, operation
instructions, transportation information, lubrication
information and maintenance information.
Some photographs or illustrations in this publication
show details or attachments that can be different from
your machine. Guards and covers might have been
removed for illustrative purposes.
Continuing improvement and advancement of product
design might have caused changes to your machine
which are not included in this publication. Read, study
and keep this manual with the machine.
Whenever a question arises regarding your machine, or
this publication, please consult your Caterpillar dealer
for the latest available information.
Safety
The safety section lists basic safety precautions. In
addition, this section identifies the text and locations of
warning signs and labels used on the machine.
Read and understand the basic precautions listed in
the safety section before operating or performing
lubrication, maintenance and repair on this machine.
Operation
The operation section is a reference for the new
operator and a refresher for the experienced operator.
This section includes a discussion of gauges,
switches, machine controls, attachment controls,
transportation and towing information.
Photographs and illustrations guide the operator
through correct procedures of checking, starting,
operating and stopping the machine.
Operating techniques outlined in this publication are
basic. Skill and techniques develop as the operator
gains knowledge of the machine and its capabilities.
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 they provide more convenient
servicing schedules and approximate the indicated
service hour meter reading. Recommended service
should always be performed at the interval that
occurs first.
Under extremely severe, dusty or wet operating
conditions, more frequent lubrication than is
specified in the maintenance intervals chart is
necessary.
Certified Engine Maintenance
Proper maintenance and repair is 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.
It is prohibited for any person engaged in the
business of repairing, servicing, selling, leasing, or
trading engines or machines to remove, alter, or
render inoperative any emission related device or
element of design installed on or in an engine or
machine that is in compliance with the regulations
(40 CFR Part 89). Certain elements of the machine
and engine such as the exhaust system, fuel system,
electrical system, intake air system and cooling
system may be emission related and should not be
altered unless approved by Caterpillar.
Machine Capacity
Additional attachments or modifications may exceed
machine design capacity which can adversely affect
performance characteristics. Included would be
stability and system certifications such as brakes,
steering, and rollover protective structures (ROPS).
Contact your Caterpillar dealer for further information.
