Usage:
The United States Environmental Protection Agency has issued regulation standards to keep highway vehicle engine emission levels within prescribed limits for the useful life of the engine. The Clean Air Act also requires the manufacturer of engines subject to these standards to furnish with each new engine, maintenance instructions necessary to assure the proper functioning of emission related components. These instructions and the Caterpillar Truck Engine Operation Guide will provide the necessary information to the purchaser of the vehicle.
Authorized dealers are recommended for major maintenance operations as they are staffed with trained servicemen, equipped with proper tools and informed of latest service methods. Owners who desire to perform their own major maintenance and repair work should purchase a Service Manual, available from any Caterpillar dealer.
