Contamination Control Guidelines
Contamination is anything that doesn't belong in machine fluid systems; paint flakes, rag fibers,
metals, greases, weld spatter, sealing materials, and more. When systems are contaminated,
efficiency drops, cycle times increase and component and fluid life is shortened. Eventually,
contamination can lead to catastrophic failure, unplanned downtime, and costly repairs for
customers.

Customer demand for increased productivity has produced industry trends toward electro-
hydraulics, higher system pressures and tighter internal clearances. As a result of these
trends, today's fluid systems (hydraulics, transmissions, steering, power train, engines, and
fuel) will not tolerate dirt and other contaminants like their predecessors. Fluid contamination
threatens reliability throughout the life cycle of today's machines and engines. Therefore,
Caterpillar's goal is to create a Cultural Change by educating Caterpillar Plants, Caterpillar
Dealers and Caterpillar Customers to become Leaders in Contamination Control. Servicing an
older Caterpillar machine population in the past was quite different than servicing today's
machines. The time to invest in product reliability via Contamination Control is NOW!

By addressing this very important aspect of machine operation and life cycle, you will:

· Improve component life and machine productivity

· Lower customer costs and increase customer satisfaction
· Extend product and component life
· Increase rental fleet value
· Reduce Hazardous waste generation
· Reduce service/repair redo

A partial list of the available contamination control information for this vehicle is listed below.
