INTRODUCTION

The specifications given in this book are on the basis
of information available at the time it was written. The
specifications torques, pressures of operation, mea-
surements, adjustments and other items can change at
any time. These changes can effect the service given to
the product. Get the complete and most current infor-
mation before you start any job. Caterpillar Dealers
have the most current information which is available.
For a list of the most current modules and form numbers
available for each Service Manual, see the SERVICE
MANUAL CONTENTS MICROFICHE REGII39F.
When the words "use again" are in the description,
the specification given can be used to determine if a part
can be used again. If the part is equal to or within th<
specification given, use the part again.
When the word "permissible" is in the description,
the specification given is the "maximum or minimum"
tolerance permitted before adjustment, repair and/or
new parts are needed.
A comparison can be made between the measure-
ments of a worn part, and the specifications of a new
part to find the amount of wear. A part that is worn can
be safe to use if an estimate of the remainder of its
service life is good. If a short service life is expected,
replace the part.
