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 Cat 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 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.

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.
It is prohibited for any person engaged in the business of repairing, servicing, selling, leasing, or trading engines
or machines to remove, alter, or to render inoperative, any emission-related device or element of design installed
on or in an engine or machine that is in compliance with all applicable regulations of the intended country to
which it has been shipped. 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 Cat dealer for further information.
Product Identification Number
Effective First Quarter 2001 the Product Identification Number (PIN) has changed from 8 to 17 characters. To
provide uniform equipment identification, construction equipment manufacturers are moving to comply with the
latest version of the product identification numbering standard. Non-road machine PINs are defined by ISO
10261. The new PIN format will apply to all machines and generator sets. The PIN plates and frame marking
will display the 17 character PIN. The new format will look like the following:
Illustration 1 g03891925
Where:
1. World Manufacturing Code (characters 1-3)
2. Machine Descriptor (characters 4-8)
3. Check Character (character 9)
4. Machine Indicator Section (MIS) or Product Sequence Number (characters 10-17). These were previously
referred to as the Serial Number.
Machines and generator sets produced before First Quarter 2001 will maintain their 8 character PIN format.
Components such as engines, transmissions, axles, and work tools will continue to use an 8 character Serial
Number (S/N).
