BEARING-CONNECTING ROD 1608172 - Caterpillar

Use calendar time or road distance, whichever occurs first. Performance of all lubrication and maintenance items in the Maintenance Schedule is the owner's responsibility. This schedule is based on an approved air filter system and the use of distillate fuels. For engines using heavy fuels, refer to Maintenance Schedule (All Rated rpm) Using Heavy Fuels. Refer to the Heavy Fuel Section in this manual for additional maintenance.*Perform All Previous Interval Maintenance Items FirstDaily (or prior to a trip)
Walk Around Inspection - Inspect engine for leaks and loose connections Engine Crankcase - Check oil level Woodward Governor/Actuator - Check oil level Cooling System - Check coolant level Air Tank - Drain water and sediment Oil Filter, Fuel Filter and Air Filter Differential Pressure - Check gauges during operation Driven Equipment - Inspect/Check per OEM recommendationsEvery Week or 5600 km (3500 miles)*
Air Filters - Check restriction Fuel Tank - Drain water and sediment Scheduled Oil Sampling (S O S) - Obtain sample to determine oil change intervalS O S or Oil Analysis (including Infrared Analysis) should be the determining factor for oil change intervals. Refer to the Scheduled Oil Sampling (S O S), 3600 Lubrication Oil Change Intervals and Lubricant Specifications sections of this Manual for information regarding lubricating oil selection, oil change periods and oil sampling.Every 3 Months or 72 500 km (45,000 miles)*
