This safety section lists basic safety precautions. In addition, this section identifies hazardous, warning situations. Read and understand the basic precautions listed in the safety section before operating or performing lubrication, maintenance and repair on this product.Maintenance
The maintenance section is a guide to product care. The illustrated, step-by-step instructions are grouped by service hours and/or calendar time maintenance intervals. Items in the maintenance schedule are referenced to detailed instructions that follow.Use service hours to determine intervals. Calendar intervals shown (daily, annually, etc) may be used instead of service meter intervals if they provide more convenient schedules and approximate the indicated service meter reading.Recommended service should always be performed at the service hour interval. The actual operating environment of the engine also governs the maintenance schedule. Therefore, under extremely severe, dusty, wet or freezing cold operating conditions, more frequent lubrication and maintenance than is specified in the maintenance schedule may be necessary.The maintenance schedule items are organized for a preventive maintenance management program. The implementation of a preventive maintenance management program should minimize operating costs through cost avoidances resulting from reductions in unscheduled downtime and failures. Proper maintenance of the chiller driveline helps to ensure operation that is continuous and economical.Maintenance Intervals
Perform maintenance on items at multiples of the original requirement. Each level and/or individual items in each level should be shifted ahead or back depending upon your specific maintenance practices, operation and application. We recommend that the maintenance schedules be reproduced and displayed near the engine as a convenient reminder. We also recommend that a maintenance record be maintained as part of the chiller's permanent record.See the section in this Maintenance Manual, "Maintenance Records" for information regarding documents that are generally accepted as proof of maintenance or repair. Your authorized Caterpillar dealer can assist you in adjusting your maintenance schedule to meet the needs of your operating environment.Engine Maintenance
Engines require periodic service. Engine maintenance depends upon the use of the engine and the type of the engine. Keep records of all service that is performed on the equipment. For the scheduled engine maintenance activities, see the Operation and Maintenance Manual for the engine.
