The maintenance section is a guide to equipment care. The illustrated, step-by-step instructions are
grouped by servicing intervals. Items without specific intervals are listed under "When Required"
topics. Items in the "Maintenance Intervals" chart are referenced to detailed instructions that follow.

Maintenance Intervals

Use the service hour meter to determine servicing intervals. Calendar intervals shown (daily, weekly,
monthly, etc) may 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 Interval" chart may be necessary.

Cooling System Specifications

SMCS - 7602

Coolant Information

Diesel engine operating temperatures have increased to improve engine efficiency. This means proper
cooling system maintenance is especially important. Overheating, overcooling, pitting, cavitation
erosion, cracked heads, piston seizures, and plugged radiators are classic cooling system failures. In
fact, coolant is as important as the quality of fuel and lubricating oil.

NOTICE

Caterpillar recommends that the coolant mixture contain a minimum

of 30% Caterpillar Antifreeze, or equivalent. Liquid supplemental
coolant additive must be added, when not using Caterpillar Antifreeze,
which contains the proper additive.

Never add coolant to an overheated engine, engine damage can result.

Allow the engine to cool first.

All water is corrosive at engine operating temperature. The cooling

system should be protected with a 3% to 6% concentration of liquid
supplemental coolant additive at all times, regardless of the
concentration of antifreeze.

Excessive supplemental coolant additive greater than the

recommended 6%, together with concentrations of antifreeze greater
than 65% can cause deposits to form and can result in radiator tube
blockage, overheating, and/or water pump seal damage.

Do not use liquid supplemental coolant additive or elements or

antifreeze with Dowtherm 209 Full-Fill coolant. Dowtherm 209 Full-
Fill coolant is not compatible with other antifreeze and coolant
mixtures.
 Dowtherm 209 full-fill coolant will lower the water pump cavitation
temperature and coolant boiling point. These lowered temperatures
will cause overheating at a lower ambient temperature than an
ethylene glycol and water mix. If Dowtherm is used, follow the
instructions provided and use only the inhibitor package recommended
by the supplier.

If the machine is to be stored in, or shipped to, an area with freezing

temperatures, the cooling system must be protected to the lowest
expected outside (ambient) temperature.

The engine cooling system is normally protected to -28°C (-20°F) with

Caterpillar Antifreeze, when shipped from the factory unless special
requirements are defined.

Check the specific gravity of the coolant solution frequently in cold weather to ensure adequate
protection.

Clean the cooling system if it is contaminated, if the engine overheats or if foaming is observed in the
radiator.

Coolant should be drained, the system cleaned and new coolant added every 3000 service hours or
two years. When not using Caterpillar Antifreeze and supplemental coolant additive as recommended,
the drain period must be shortened to 1500 service hours or one year.

Filling at over 20 liters (5 U.S. gallons) per minute can cause air pockets in the cooling system.

After draining and refilling the cooling system, operate the engine with the radiator cap removed until
the coolant reaches normal operating temperature and the coolant level stabilizes. Add coolant as
necessary to fill the system to the proper level.

Never operate without a thermostat in the cooling system. Cooling system problems can arise without
a thermostat.

Refer to "Know Your Cooling System," from SEBD0518 and "Coolant and Your Engine" form
SEBD0970, for more detailed specifications.

Coolant Water

Hard water, or water with high levels of calcium and magnesium ions, encourages the formation of
insoluble chemical compounds by combining with cooling system additives such as silicates and
phosphates.

The tendency of silicates and phosphates to precipitate out-of-solution increases with increasing water
hardness. Hard water, or water with high levels of calcium and magnesium ions encourages the
formation of insoluble chemicals, especially after a number of heating and cooling cycles.
Caterpillar prefers the use of distilled water or deionized water to reduce the potential and severity of
chemical insolubility.

Using water that meets the minimum acceptable water requirement may not prevent drop-out of these
chemical compounds totally, but should minimize the rate to acceptable levels.

Antifreeze

NOTICE

Caterpillar recommends that the coolant mix contain a minimum of

30% Caterpillar Antifreeze, or equivalent and acceptable water to
maintain an adequate water pump cavitation temperature for efficient
water pump performance.

Premix coolant solution to provide protection to the lowest expected

outside (ambient) temperature. Pure undiluted antifreeze will freeze at
-23°C (-10°F).

Only use a greater concentration (above 30%) of Caterpillar

Antifreeze as needed for anticipated outside (ambient) temperatures.
Do not exceed a coolant mixture of 60% antifreeze to water since a
concentration above 60% antifreeze will reduce the engine's freeze
protection and increase the possibility of deposit formation in the
cooling system.

Use Caterpillar Antifreeze or GM Specification 6038-M Antifreeze. Caterpillar Antifreeze is available

through your Caterpillar dealer in quantities that follow.
Most commercial antifreezes are formulated for gasoline engine applications and will, therefore, have
high silicate content. Caterpillar Antifreeze is formulated with a low silicate content and the proper
coolant additives for heavy duty diesel engines.

GM Specification 6038-M is a low silicate antifreeze, but supplemental coolant additive must be
added.

The major advantages of Caterpillar Antifreeze are:

* Significantly reduces water pump seal leakage problems caused by excessive concentration of
chemical additives.
* There is no need to add supplemental coolant additive on initial fill which must be done with
current commercially available antifreezes.
* High silicate antifreezes used with a supplemental coolant additive can cause a build up of
solids over a period of time which can cause plugging, loss of heat transfer, and water pump
seal damage.

Make proper antifreeze additions.

Adding pure antifreeze as a makeup solution for cooling system top-up is an unacceptable practice. It
increases the concentration of antifreeze in the cooling system which increases the concentration of
dissolved solids and undissolved chemical inhibitors in the cooling system. Add antifreeze mixed with
water to the same freeze protection as your cooling system.

Use the chart below to assist in determining the concentration of Caterpillar Antifreeze to use.

Supplemental Coolant Additive

Supplemental coolant additive is necessary to prevent rust, scale, pitting and/or corrosion of engine
parts that coolant comes in contact with. Most antifreeze solutions DO NOT contain sufficient
supplemental coolant additive.

NOTICE

Always add supplemental coolant additive or equivalent to the coolant,

or install a Caterpillar supplemental coolant additive element (if
equipped). Never use coolant only, except if Caterpillar Antifreeze is
being used which contains the additive. In this case, no supplemental
coolant additive is needed on initial fill, but is necessary on a
maintenance basis.

Use supplemental coolant additive or a supplemental coolant additive

element (if equipped). This will provide a 3% to 6% concentration in
the cooling system to help prevent corrosion.

To prevent overinhibiting the engine's cooling system, never use both

the liquid supplemental coolant additive and the supplemental coolant
additive element (if equipped) at the same time. The use of these
additives together could result in excessive concentration that would
exceed the Caterpillar recommended maximum of 6%.

Excessive concentration of an additive can form deposits on the higher

temperature surfaces of the cooling system and create barrier that
reduces the engine's heat transfer characteristics. Reduced heat
transfer could cause cracking of the cylinder head and other high
temperature components. Excessive concentrations of additive could
also accelerate water pump seal wear.

Supplemental coolant additive is needed when not using Caterpillar

Antifreeze for premixed coolant solution.

Liquid supplemental coolant additive can be purchased from your Caterpillar dealer. Follow the
instructions on the container.

NOTICE

DO NOT add supplemental coolant additive at initial fill when using

Caterpillar Antifreeze. Caterpillar Antifreeze contains the necessary
supplemental coolant additive precharge. Addition of supplemental
coolant additive could result in an overconcentration.
On initial fill of a new or reconditioned engine if Caterpillar Antifreeze is not used, add 1 liter (1
quart) of supplemental coolant additive, or equivalent, for each 30 liters (8 U.S. gallons) so that the
cooling system will have a 3% to 6% concentration of supplemental coolant additive.

To maintain a 3% to 6% concentration of additive, add liquid supplemental coolant additive or install

a maintenance supplemental coolant additive element (if equipped), every 250 service hours or oil
change, whichever occurs first. Use the 8T5296 Test Kit to check for concentration.

If the engine is not equipped with spin-on element, add .25 liter (1/2 pint) of supplemental coolant
additive for each 38 liters (10 U.S. gallons) of coolant capacity to maintain the 3% to 6%
concentration of additive.
