What causes a caterpillar machine to run out of fluids?
What causes a caterpillar machine to run out of fluids?
SEBU6250-15 January 2008 Caterpillar Machine Fluids Recommendations i01658146 Important Safety Information Most accidents that involve product operation, maintenance and repair are caused by failure to observe basic safety rules or precautions.
What happens if oil is not Analy-SIS on caterpillar machine?
Corrosive damage, piston deposits and increased oil consumption can also result. If oil analy- sis is not done or the results are ignored, the potential for corrosive damage and piston deposits increases. Refer to the appropriate Operation and Maintenance Manual for guidance.
What are the risks of using a caterpillar machine?
Caterpillar is not in a position to evaluate the many auxiliary devices, accessories or consumables pro- moted by other manufacturers and their effect on Caterpillar products. Installation or use of such items is at the discretion of the customer who assumes ALL risks for the effects that result from this usage.
When to perform oil drains on a caterpillar machine?
Recommended service should always be performed at the interval that occursfirst. Under extremely severe, dusty or wet operating conditions, more frequent lubrication than is specified in the Maintenance Interval Schedule might be necessary. Extended Engine Oil Drains and Warranty

Can a clogged intake line cause a hydraulic failure?
In extreme cases, cavitation can cause mechanical failure of system components. While cavitation can occur just about anywhere within a hydraulic circuit, it commonly occurs at the pump. A clogged inlet strainer or restricted intake line will cause the fluid in the intake line to vaporize.
How does heat load and internal leakage affect hydraulics?
The influence of internal leakage on heat load means that slow operation and high fluid temperature often appear together. This can be a vicious circle. When fluid temperature increases, viscosity decreases. When viscosity decreases, internal leakage increases.
