Performance information in this booklet is intended for estimating

conditions, altitude, etc.), neither Caterpillar nor its dealers warrant
that the machines described will perform as estimated.
NOTE: Always refer to the appropriate Operation and
Maintenance Manual for specific product information.
Materials and specifications are subject to change without notice.
