Maintenance
The maintenance section is a guide to equipment care. The Maintenance Interval Schedule (MIS) lists the items to be maintained at a specic service interval. Items without specic intervals are listed under the "When Required" service interval. The Maintenance Interval Schedule lists the page number for the step-by-step instructions required to accomplish the scheduled maintenance. Use the Maintenance Interval Schedule as an index or "one safe source" for all maintenance procedures.
Maintenance Intervals
Use the service hour meter to determine servicing intervals. Calendar intervals shown (daily, weekly, monthly, etc.) can be used instead of service hour meter intervals if they provide more convenient servicing schedules and approximate the indicated service hour meter reading. Recommended service should always be performed at the interval that occurs rst. Under extremely severe, dusty or wet operating conditions, more frequent lubrication than is specied in the maintenance intervals chart might be necessary. Perform service on items at multiples of the original requirement. For example, at every 500 service hours or 3 months, also service those items listed under every 250 service hours or monthly and every 10 service hours or daily.
Safety
The safety section lists basic safety precautions. In addition, this section identies the text and locations of warning signs and labels used on the machine. Read and understand the basic precautions listed in the safety section before operating or performing lubrication, maintenance and repair on this machine.

Nitrogen inated tires reduce the potential of a tire explosion because nitrogen does not aid combustion. Nitrogen helps to prevent oxidation of the rubber, deterioration of rubber, and corrosion of rim components. To avoid overination, proper nitrogen ination equipment and training in the usage of the equipment are necessary. A tire blowout or a rim failure can result from improper equipment or from misused equipment. When you inate a tire, stand behind the tread and use a self-attaching chuck. Servicing tires and rims can be dangerous. Only trained personnel that use proper tools and proper procedures should perform this maintenance. If correct procedures are not used for servicing tires and rims, the assemblies could burst with explosive force. This explosive force can cause serious personal injury or death. Carefully obey the specic instructions from your tire dealer.
i01122596
Tire Information
SMCS Code: 7000 Explosions of air inated tires have resulted from heat-induced gas combustion inside the tires. Explosions can be caused by heat that is generated by welding, by heating rim components, by external re, or by excessive use of brakes. A tire explosion is much more violent than a blowout. The explosion can propel the tire, the rim components, and the axle components as far as 500 m (1500 ft) or more from the machine. Both the force of the explosion and the ying debris can cause property damage, personal injury, or death.
Electrical Storm Injury Prevention

SMCS Code: 7000 When lightning is striking in the vicinity of the machine, the operator should never attempt the following procedures:
Mount the machine. Dismount the machine.

Failure to move the ride control switch to the recommended position could result in damage to the machine. OFF Push the ride control switch to the middle position in order to turn off the ride control system. AUTOMATIC Push the top of the ride control switch in order to turn on the automatic ride control. When the switch for the ride control system is in the AUTOMATIC position, an indicator light on the front dash panel comes on. A light on the switch comes on also. The automatic ride control turns on when the ground speed exceeds 9.6 km/h (6 mph). The automatic ride control turns off when the ground speed is less than 9.6 km/h (6 mph).
Pressing the upshift gear speed switch on the STIC control will cause the machine to shift into the next highest gear. Pressing the downshift gear speed switch on the STIC control will cause the machine to shift into the next lowest gear. The indicator light that is located on the instrument panel will illuminate when the autoshift control is activated. The downshift gear speed switch on the STIC control is active in all gears. The downshift gear speed switch on the STIC control can cause transmission downshifts at machine speeds that are higher than normal. Pressing the downshift gear speed switch on the STIC control will cause a downshift of one gear. The downshift will only occur if the machine speed and the engine speed will not result in an engine overspeed condition. Holding down the downshift gear speed switch on the STIC control will cause the transmission to continue to downshift as the machine speed decreases. The transmission will remain in the downshifted gear for three seconds after the downshift switch is released. Then, automatic shifting is resumed. Turn switch (5) to a selected gear speed in order to activate the autoshift function. The transmission will shift from rst gear through fourth gear automatically. The highest gear that will be used is determined by the selection on the switch. As the machine slows, the transmission will automatically downshift. The transmission will not shift lower than second gear. Note: The 988H does not have a separate Quick-Shift function as the former 988F model. In the automatic mode of autoshift, the transmission will automatically shift from the rst gear to the second gear. This happens when the operator shifts the direction from forward to reverse. When one then shifts from reverse to forward, the transmission will remain in second gear. This feature only functions when the machine is in rst gear. A transmission quick-shift can only occur when the operator shifts the direction from forward to reverse. This feature does not affect any directional shift in any of the other gears.

Reduced Rimpull Switch (13)

The reduced rimpull switch reduces the potential for wheel slippage without reducing the hydraulic efciency. The reduced rimpull switch is a four-position switch. Each setting corresponds to a maximum allowable percentage of maximum rimpull. There are two types of settings for the maximum allowable percentage of maximum rimpull. Type 1 BXY1-1899
Operating with Reduced Rimpull To select a reduced rimpull setting, move the reduced rimpull switch to the desired setting and move the reduced or maximum rimpull switch that is located on the right side control console to the REDUCED position. If the machine is in rst speed, the reduced rimpull switch will provide an impeller clutch pressure which limits the rimpull to the desired level when the left brake pedal is fully released. Depressing the left brake pedal will further reduce rimpull from the selected percentage. The rimpull that is commanded by the fully released pedal will equal the reduced rimpull that is selected on the reduced rimpull switch. When a lower rimpull is selected, pedal travel will result in a more gradual decrease in rimpull. If the machine is not in rst speed, the impeller clutch pressure will remain at the maximum level until the transmission is placed into rst speed.

Drive the machine forward for best visibility and Reduce the engine speed when you maneuver in
tight quarters and when you are going over a hill.
Downhill Operation
Maintain a ground speed that is slow enough for the conditions. Before you operate down a hill, select the proper gear before you start down the grade. The proper gear should allow the machine to maintain the appropriate speed on the down grade. The throttle control should not be at high idle and the engine should not overspeed. In most situations, the proper gear will be the same gear that is required to drive up the grade. If the machine builds up excessive speed, the engine can overspeed. This can result in damage to the engine, the hydraulic pump and/or the power train. Use the right service brake pedal or the engine brake (if equipped) in order to slow the machine until a lower gear can be selected. Select the lower gear and proceed. Using the right service brake pedal continuously to control travel speed of the machine can cause the brake (axle) oil to overheat. Using the right service brake pedal to stop at high speeds can cause the brake (axle) oil to overheat. This can result in signicant wear and/or damage to the right service brake pedal and nal drive. Note: The left impeller clutch/brake pedal should not be used for downhill braking. Using the left impeller clutch/brake pedal will disengage the engine from the power train. This can result in an increased load on the brakes.

Changing Direction and Speed

SMCS Code: 7000 Speed changes at full engine speed and directional changes at full engine speed are possible. However, when you change directions, deceleration will maximize the comfort of the operator. Use the left brake pedal to decelerate. Deceleration will also maximize the service life of power train components.
Coasting in Neutral
Coasting in neutral is not recommended at high speeds. A warning buzzer will activate inside the cab if your machine is coasting in neutral at a speed above 16 km/h (10 mph).
Transmission Control (If equipped)

For frequent downhill operations, the transmission control has a feature for neutral coasting in order to prevent the machine from overspeeding. Refer to Service Manual, Power Train Troubleshooting/ Testing & Adjusting for additional information. The feature for neutral coasting is turned on as a factory setting. If this function is not desired, turn off this function in Electronic Technician (ET). When this feature is activated, the following four functions apply:
Parking Brake
SMCS Code: 7000
Personal injury could result from the sudden stop of the machine. The parking brake is automatically engaged when brake oil pressure drops below an adequate operating pressure. If the brake loses oil pressure, the alert indicator for the brakes will ash and the action alarm will sound. The alert indicator for the brakes is on the dash panel. Loss of oil pressure will cause the parking brake to automatically engage. This will stop the machine. Anticipate a sudden stop. Correct the cause of the loss of oil pressure. Do not operate the machine without normal brake oil pressure. The action light will also ash when the lights on the monitoring system ash. The action alarm will continuously sound. Note: The action alarm intermittently sounds if the service brake loses oil pressure on early machines.

Reference: For tire ination instructions, refer to Special Instruction, SMHS7867, Nitrogen Tire Ination Group. For nitrogen ination, use the same tire pressures that are used for air ination. Consult your tire dealer for operating pressures.
i02284174
Tire Ination with Nitrogen

SMCS Code: 4203 Caterpillar recommends the use of dry nitrogen gas for tire ination and for tire pressure adjustments. This includes all machines with rubber tires. Nitrogen is an inert gas that will not aid combustion inside the tire.
Tire Ination Pressure

SMCS Code: 4203; 7500 The tire ination pressure for machines that are shipped from the factory is suitable for shipping only. Always obtain the proper tire ination pressures for your machine from the tire supplier before placing the machine into operation. The recommended tire ination pressures for the front tires and for the rear tires will vary for each application. Proper tire ination pressure and maintenance of the tire ination pressure is critical for optimum tire life. The tire ination pressure should always be obtained from the tire supplier due to changes in the technology of tires, equipment, and job applications. Reference: Refer to the latest edition of Special Publication, Caterpillar Performance Handbook for general information on tire ination pressure.
i02610518
Proper nitrogen ination equipment, and training in using the equipment, are necessary to avoid over ination. A tire blowout or rim failure can result from improper or misused equipment and personal injury or death can occur. A tire blowout and/or rim failure can occur if the ination equipment is not used correctly, due to the fact that a fully charged nitrogen cylinder's pressure is approximately 15000 kPa (2200 psi). There are other benets to using nitrogen in addition to reducing the risk of an explosion. The use of nitrogen for tire ination lessens the slow oxidation of the rubber. Use of nitrogen also slows gradual tire deterioration. This is especially important for tires that are expected to have a long service life of at least four years. Nitrogen reduces the corrosion of rim components. Nitrogen also reduces problems that result from disassembly.
Tire Ination Pressure Adjustment

SMCS Code: 4203 Always obtain the proper tire ination pressures and maintenance recommendations for the tires on your machine from your tire supplier. The tire pressure in a warm shop area 18 to 21C (65 to 70F) will signicantly change when you move the machine into freezing temperatures. If you inate the tire to the correct pressure in a warm shop, the tire will be underinated in freezing temperatures. Low pressure shortens the life of a tire. Reference: When you operate the machine in freezing temperatures, refer to Special Publication, SEBU5898, Cold Weather Recommendations for All Caterpillar Machines in order to adjust tire ination pressures.
A tire blowout or a rim failure can cause personal injury. Use a self-attaching ination chuck and stand behind the tread when inating a tire, to prevent personal injury. Note: Do not set the tire ination equipment regulator higher than 140 kPa (20 psi) over the recommended tire pressure. Use 6V-4040 Ination Group or an equivalent ination group to inate tires with a nitrogen gas cylinder.

Lubricant Viscosities for Ambient Temperatures

NOTICE Do NOT use only the Oil Viscosities column when determining the recommended oil for a machine compartment. The Oil Type and Classication column MUST also be used. NOTICE The footnotes are a key part of the Lubricant Viscosities for Ambient Temperatures tables. Read ALL footnotes that pertain to the machine compartment in question. Note: Use the oil type and the classication that is recommended for the various machine compartments. Note: Some machine compartments allow the use of more than one oil type. For the best results, do not mix oil types. Note: Different brands of oils may use different additive packages. For the best results, do not mix oil brands. Note: Caterpillar oil is the preferred oil. All other listed oils are acceptable oils. Caterpillar has determined that H Series Medium Wheel Loaders equipped with the High Ambient Cooling Attachment can operate with Cat HYDO Advanced 10 Hydraulic System Oil in ambient temperatures from 20 C (4 F) to 50 C (122 F).
Lubricant Viscosities
SMCS Code: 7581
Selecting the Viscosity

Ambient temperature is the temperature of the air in the immediate vicinity of the machine. This may differ due to the machine application and from the generic ambient temperature for a geographic region. In order to select the proper oil viscosity, review the regional ambient temperature and the potential ambient temperature for a given machine application. Use the higher temperature of the two ambient temperatures in order to select the oil viscosity. Use the highest oil viscosity that is allowed for the ambient temperature when you start the machine. For arctic applications, the preferred method is the use of heaters for machine compartments and a high viscosity oil. The proper oil viscosity grade is determined by the minimum outside ambient temperature. This is the temperature when the machine is started and while the machine is operated. In order to determine the proper oil viscosity grade, refer to the Min column in the table. This information reects the coldest ambient temperature condition for starting a cold machine and for operating a cold machine. Refer to the Max column in the table in order to select the oil viscosity grade for operating the machine at the highest temperature that is anticipated. Machines that are operated continuously should use oils that have the higher oil viscosity in the nal drives and in the differentials. The oils that have the higher oil viscosity will maintain the highest possible oil lm thickness. Consult your dealer if additional information is needed. Note: SAE 0W oil and SAE 5W oil are not recommended for heavily loaded machines or machines that are operated continuously. These viscosity grades are not recommended for use in hydraulic hammers. The oils that have the higher oil viscosity will maintain the highest possible oil lm thickness. Consult your dealer if additional information is needed. Note: Some machine models and/or machine compartments do not allow the use of all available viscosity grades.

When you are operating the machine in temperatures below 20C (4F), refer to Special Publication, SEBU5898, Cold Weather Recommendations. This is available from your Caterpillar dealer. (2) Supplemental heat is recommended for cold-soaked starts below the minimum ambient temperature. Supplemental heat may be required for cold-soaked starts that are above the minimum temperature that is stated, depending on the parasitic load and other factors. Cold-soaked starts occur when the engine has not been operated for a period of time, allowing the oil to become more viscous due to cooler ambient temperatures. (3) Cat DEO-ULS or commercial oils meeting Cat ECF-3 specication are strongly recommended for use in diesel engines that are equipped with Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) and other aftertreatment devices. (4) Cat DEO SYN is an SAE 5W-40 viscosity grade oil. (5) Cat Arctic DEO SYN is an SAE 0W-30 viscosity grade oil. (6) Cat Engine Crankcase Fluid specications. Commercial alternative diesel engine oils must meet one or more of these Cat ECF specications. (7) SAE 10W-30 is the preferred viscosity grade for the 3116, 3126, C7, C-9 and the C9 diesel engines when the ambient temperature is between -18 C (0 F) and 40 C (104 F). (8) First Choice: Cat Arctic TDTO - SAE 0W-20. Second Choice: Oils of full synthetic basestock that do not have viscosity index improvers and do meet the performance requirements of the Cat TO-4 specication for the SAE 30 viscosity grade. Typical lubricant viscosity grades are SAE 0W-20, SAE 0W-30, and SAE 5W-30. Third Choice: Oils that contain a TO-4 additive package and a lubricant viscosity grade of SAE 0W-20, SAE 0W-30, or SAE 5W-30. (9) First Choice: Oils of full synthetic basestock that do not have viscosity index improvers and do meet the performance requirements of the Cat TO-4 specication for the SAE 30 viscosity grade. Typical viscosity grades are SAE 0W-20, SAE 0W-30, and SAE 5W-30. Second Choice: Oils with a TO-4 type additive package and a lubricant viscosity grade of SAE 0W-20, SAE 0W-30, or SAE 5W-30. (10) Except for machines that are equipped with a hydraulic drive winch gear case. Use SAE 30 viscosity grade for 0C (32F) to 43C (110F) or Cat TDTO-TMS for 20C (-4F) to 50C (122F). (11) Except for machines that are equipped with ICM controlled transmissions. Do not use SAE 50 viscosity grade oil in ICM controlled transmissions. (12) Cat TDTO-TMS (Transmission Multi-Season) (synthetic blend that exceeds the Cat TO-4M multigrade specication requirements). (13) Cat HYDO Advanced 10 is the preferred oil for use in most Caterpillar machine hydraulic and hydrostatic transmission systems when ambient temperature is between 20 C (4 F) and 40 C (104 F). Cat HYDO Advanced 10 has an SAE viscosity grade of 10W. Cat HYDO Advanced 10 has a 50% increase in the standard oil drain interval for machine hydraulic systems (3000 hours versus 2000 hours) over second and third choice oils - when following the maintenance interval schedule for oil lter changes and for oil sampling that is stated in the Operation and Maintenance Manual for your particular machine. 6000 hour oil drain intervals are possible when using SOS Services oil analysis. Contact your Cat dealer for details. In order to gain the most benet from the improved performance designed into Cat HYDO Advanced 10, when switching to Cat HYDO Advanced 10, cross contamination with the previous oil should be kept to less than 10%. (14) Second choice oils are Cat MTO, Cat DEO, Cat DEO-ULS, Cat TDTO, Cat Arctic TDTO, Cat TDTO-TMS, Cat DEO SYN, Cat Arctic DEO SYN. Third choice oils are commercial oils that meet Cat ECF-1-a, Cat ECF-2, Cat ECF-3, Cat TO-4, or the Cat TO-4M specications, and that have a minimum zinc additive level of 0.09 percent (900 ppm). Commercial biodegradable hydraulic oil must meet the Cat BF-1 specication. Refer to the machine Operation and Maintenance Manual and/or contact your local Caterpillar dealer before using commercial oils that meet Cat BF-1 in Cat Hydraulic Excavators. The minimum viscosity for commercial alternative oils used in most Cat machine hydraulic and hydrostatic transmission systems is 6.6 cSt at 100 C (212 F) (ASTM D445). (15) For machines equipped with a High Ambient Cooling Attachment the maximum ambient temperature is 50 C (122 F) (16) Cat TDTO-TMS (Transmission Multi-Season) (synthetic blend that exceeds the Cat TO-4M multigrade speci cation requirements) (17) HMU Steering (18) 980 Drive Shaft is maintenance free.

The controller of the autolube system is preset from the factory and shipped from the factory so that lubrication is dispensed at 15 minute intervals, and all of the injectors are preset at the full ow setting. This can cause an excessive buildup of grease around some of the joints. As a result, the grease reservoir may need to be lled more frequently. The injectors for selected joints can be adjusted in order to reduce the ow of grease without adversely affecting the life of the pin. The injectors are set by the factory at the full ow setting. This setting is equivalent to 8 turns open. When the injectors are adjusted, the injectors should rst be closed. Then, the injectors should be opened by the number of specied turns. The recommended settings for the injectors at each pin location are listed in Table 10.

Hydraulic Pressure
General Precautions
Hydraulic oil pressure can remain in the hydraulic system on this machine after the engine and pump have been stopped. Serious injury can result if this pressure is not released before any service is done on the hydraulic systems. In order to prevent possible injury, release the hydraulic system pressure before working on any tting, hose, or hydraulic component. Lower all attachments to the ground before service is started. If the hydraulic system must be serviced, tested, or adjusted with the attachment in the raised position, the attachments and lift cylinders must be supported properly. Always move the machine to a location away from the travel of other machines. Be sure that other personnel are not near the machine when the engine is running and tests or adjustments are being made. Note: The pressure in the hydraulic system must be released before hose assemblies or components can be removed or disconnected. Note: Hydraulic lockout control must be in the UNLOCKED position. 1. Ensure that the machine is on a smooth, horizontal surface. Ensure that the machine is away from working machines and personnel. Lower all implements to the ground. Install the articulation lock pin. Note: Permit only one operator on the machine. Keep all other personnel away from the machine or in the view of the operator. 2. Activate the parking brake. Place all implements on the ground. 3. If equipped, move all joysticks into all positions repeatedly. 4. Place the lift cylinders in the FLOAT position. The oil will return to the hydraulic tank. This will relieve pressure in the circuit. 5. Stop the engine.
Personal injury or death can result from sudden machine movement. Sudden movement of the machine can cause injury to persons on or near the machine. To prevent injury or death, make sure that the area around the machine is clear of personnel and obstructions before operating the machine. Perform this procedure in order to release compressed air pressure or hydraulic oil pressure. Put blocks in front of the wheels and behind the wheels. Perform this procedure before performing any of the following service procedures:
Disconnecting any hydraulic connections for the

implement system implement system
Removing any sensors or switches from the Working on the bucket or linkage
Brake Pressure
To release any brake oil pressure, depress the brake pedal repeatedly.
Cooling System Pressure
Pressurized system: Hot coolant can cause serious burn. To open cap, stop engine, wait until radiator is cool. Then loosen cap slowly to relieve the pressure. Wait until the radiator is cool.

NOTICE Never remove the ll/vent plug from the hydraulic tank if the oil is hot. Air can enter the system and cause pump damage. 6. In order to release all remaining pressure in the hydraulic oil tank, hold down the plunger on the breaker relief valve. The breaker relief valve is located on the hydraulic oil tank. Note: The pressure in the hydraulic oil tank may also be released by slowly loosening the ller cap. Make sure that the ller cap is cool enough to touch with your bare hand. 7. Ensure that all pressure is relieved in the secondary hydraulic system. Ensure that all pressure is relieved in the auxiliary hydraulic system. 8. Make sure that all of the hydraulic pressure is relieved before any work is performed on the hydraulic system or any hydraulic component. 9. Tighten the cap on the hydraulic tank.
Welding on Machines and Engines with Electronic Controls

SMCS Code: 1000; 7000 Do not weld on any protective structure. If it is necessary to repair a protective structure, contact your Caterpillar dealer. Proper welding procedures are necessary in order to avoid damage to the electronic controls and to the bearings. When possible, remove the component that must be welded from the machine or the engine and then weld the component. If you must weld near an electronic control on the machine or the engine, temporarily remove the electronic control in order to prevent heat related damage. The following steps should be followed in order to weld on a machine or an engine with electronic controls. 1. Turn off the engine. Place the engine start switch in the OFF position. 2. If equipped, turn the battery disconnect switch to the OFF position. If there is no battery disconnect switch, remove the negative battery cable at the battery. NOTICE Do NOT use electrical components (ECM or ECM sensors) or electronic component grounding points for grounding the welder. 3. Clamp the ground cable from the welder to the component that will be welded. Place the clamp as close as possible to the weld. Make sure that the electrical path from the ground cable to the component does not go through any bearing. Use this procedure in order to reduce the possibility of damage to the following components:
Lock Valve Pressure

The procedures in this section may be used in the following operations:
Maintenance on lock valves Maintenance on hydraulic cylinders

1. Fully slacken the locknut. 2. Use an appropriate allen wrench in order to adjust the screw as far as possible in a counterclockwise direction. Record the number of turns in order to reset the lock valve later. The pressure in the lock valve will now be relieved. 3. Reset the lock valve after all the pressure has been relieved.
Bearings of the drive train Hydraulic components Electrical components Other components of the machine
4. Protect any wiring harnesses and components from the debris and the spatter which is created from welding. 5. Use standard welding procedures in order to weld the materials together.
Steering Pressure
To release any steering oil pressure, move the steering control through all travel positions several times in both directions. Move the steering wheel several times in both directions in order to relieve the pilot pressure in the steering system. If you are servicing the steering cylinders, the steering valve, or the steering hoses, slowly crack the lines in order to purge any trapped oil that may be in the steering system.
