INTRODUCTION
The specifications given in this book are on the
basis of information available at the time the book
was written. These specifications give the torques,
operating pressure, measurements of new parts,
adjustments and other items that will affect the
service of the product
When the words “use again" are in the description
the specification given can be used to determine if
@ part can be used again. If the part is equal to or
within the specification given, use the part again.
When the word “permissible” is in the description.
the specification given is the “maximum or mini-
mum" tolerance permitted before adjustment
repair and/or new parts are needed.
A comparison can be made between the measure-
ments of 1 worn part, and the specifications of
new part to find the anfount of wear. A part that is
worn can be safe to use if an estimate of the re
mainder of its service life is good. If short service
life is expected. replace the part
NOTE: The specifications given for “use again” and “permissible” are in-
tended for guidance only and Caterpillar Tractor Co. hereby expressly denies
and excludes any representation, warranty or implied warranty of the reuse
of any component.
