NOTICE
Do not change the coolant until you read and understand the material in the Cooling System Specifications section.
NOTICE
Mixing ELC with other products reduces the effectiveness of the coolant and shortens coolant life. Use only
Caterpillar products or commercial products that have
passed the Caterpillar EC-1 specifications for premixed or concentrate coolants. Use only Caterpillar
Extender with Caterpillar ELC. Failure to follow these
recommendations could result in the damage to cooling systems components.
If ELC cooling system contamination occurs see the

NOTICE
Only qualified service personnel should perform this
maintenance. Refer to the Service Manual or your
Caterpillar dealer for the complete valve lash adjustment procedure.
Operation of Caterpillar engines with improper valve
adjustments can reduce engine efficiency. This reduced efficiency could result in excessive fuel usage
and/or shortened engine component life.
The initial adjustment to the unit injector is
recommended at the initial 500 hour interval. The
unit injector adjustment should then be made at
every 2000 hour interval. The operation of Caterpillar
engines with improper adjustments of the electronic
unit injector can reduce engine efficiency. This
reduced efficiency could result in excessive fuel
usage and/or shortened engine component life.

housing. Removing the air cleaner from the air
cleaner housing will provide access to the hole
inside the elbow. Filter screen (1) is installed
inside the elbow.
2. A 2 inch piece of 1/8 inch drill rod is needed in
order to push filter screen (1) from the inside of
the elbow to the outside.
3. After the plugged filter screen (1) has been
removed, install a new filter screen (1) in the hole
on the outside of the elbow. Use a piece of 1/4
inch drill rod to lightly seat the filter element in the
bottom of the bore.

Program A
Verification for an Oil Change Interval of 500
Hours
This program consists of three oil change intervals of
500 hours. Oil sampling and analysis is done at 250
hours and 500 hours for each of the three intervals
for a total of six oil samples. The analysis includes
oil viscosity and infrared (IR) analysis of the oil. If
all of the results are satisfactory, the 500 hour oil
change interval is acceptable for the machine in that
application. Repeat Program A if you change the
application of the machine.
If a sample does not pass the oil analysis, take one
of these actions:

Film (Product Identification) - Clean
SEBU8250-03
i03997106
Power Washing
Power washing or washing with pressure may be
used in order to clean product identification films.
However, aggressive washing can damage the
product identification films.
Excessive pressure during power washing can
damage the product identification films by forcing
water underneath the product identification
films. Water lessens the adhesion of the product
identification film to the product, allowing the product
identification film to lift or curl. These problems are
magnified by wind. These problems are critical for
the perforated film on windows.
To avoid lifting of the edge or other damage to the
product identification films, follow these important
steps:
Illustration 138
g02174985
i02796944
g02175297
Hand Washing
Use a wet solution with no abrasive material that
contains no solvents and no alcohol. Use a wet
solution with a pH value between 3 and 11. Use
a soft brush, a rag, or a sponge in order to clean
the product identification films. Avoid wearing down
the surface of the product identification films with
unnecessary scrubbing. Ensure that the surface of
the product identification films is flushed with clean
water and allow the product identification films to air
dry.
