FOREWORD

This Operation Guide contains operation instructions, and lubrication and

maintenance information. Application of this information should maximize

performance and life of the engine; and minimize the costs of engine operation.

Caterpillar engines are found in many applications.

Therefore, the

illustrations in this Guide are typical and may not be of your specific engine or

application.

Familiarize yourself with the components installed on your engine as

described in the instructions. Some components described in the instructions

may not be on your engine or installation.

Continuing improvement and advancement of product design may cause

changes to your engine which may not be included in this publication. Each

publication is reviewed and revised, as required, to update and include these

changes in later editions.

Whenever a question arises regarding your Caterpillar product, or this

publication, please consult your Caterpillar dealer for the latest available

information.

The services of authorized Caterpillar dealers are recommended. Your

dealer is staffed with trained personnel who are equipped with proper tools,

necessary Caterpillar parts, and are trained in the latest service procedures.
