Foreword
Literature Information
This manual should 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 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.

w 2/4(W)
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.
California Proposition 65 Warning
Diesel engine exhaust and some of its constituents are known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects, and other reproductive harm.
Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands
after handling.
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 Cat dealer for
further information.
Cat Product Identification Number
Effective First Quarter 2001 the Cat Product Identification Number (PIN) has changed from 8 to
17 characters. In an effort to provide uniform equipment identification, Caterpillar and other
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 Cat 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 g00751314
Where:
1. Caterpillar's 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.
