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 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.
Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands
after handling.
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

Ensure that all protective guards and all covers are secured in place on the machine.
Keep the machine free from foreign material. Check the deck, the walkways and the steps.
Remove debris, oil, tools and other items.
Secure all loose items that are not a part of the machine. Secure lunch boxes, tools and other
items.
Know the appropriate work site hand signals. Also, know the personnel that are authorized to give
the hand signals. Accept signals from one person only.
Do not smoke when you service an air conditioner. Also, do not smoke if refrigerant gas may be
present. Inhaling the fumes that are emitted from a flame that contacts air conditioner refrigerant
can cause bodily harm or death. Inhaling gas from air conditioner refrigerant through a lighted
cigarette can cause bodily harm or death.
Never put maintenance fluids into glass containers. Drain all liquids into a suitable container.
Unless you are instructed otherwise, perform the maintenance with the following conditions:
• The transmission control is in NEUTRAL position and the neutral lock is in the ON
position.
• Lower the loader bucket until the loader bucket exerts a slight downward pressure onto the
ground.
• 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
https://127.0.0.1/sisweb/sisweb/techdoc/techdoc_print_page.jsp?returnurl=/sisweb/siswe... 2024/2/3
w 3/4(W)
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:
• You may also use a vacuum that is equipped with a highly efficient filter that cleans
particulate air.
• 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.

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.
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.

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.

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 in order 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 in order to
remove the hydraulic tank filler cap.
