Maintenance and Repair. Is easier
through monitoring key functions and
logging critical indicators. Electronic
diagnostic access is possible with a single
tool, the Cat Electronic Technician (ET).
In addition to the servicing features
built into the engine, the 988H includes:
• Daily Maintenance Checks. Most can
be performed from the left side of the
machine, making it part of an easy
pre-start routine. Routine maintenance
promotes long service life and durability.
• Next Generation Modular Radiator
(NGMR). Allows service technicians to
replace individual cores for enhanced
serviceability. Maintenance is also
simplified since NGMR is isolated
from the engine compartment.
• U-joints and Slipshaft. Are permanently
lubricated.
• Lube Points. Are centralized in
accessible locations. Fuel fill is located
on the left side. Both lube points and
fuel fill are accessible from ground
level, making lube and fuel service
quicker and easier.
• Swing-out Doors. On both sides of
the engine compartment provide easy
access to the engine oil dipstick and
filler spout, S·O·S
SM port, fuel filters,
air conditioner compressor, engine oil
filters, alternator, starting receptacle, air
filter service indicator, coolant fill and
ether starting aid. The disconnect switch
and diagnostic connectors are located
on the rear platform.
• Hinged Doors. In the platform provide
access to the hydraulic tank fill, lift and
tilt and steering filters. The transmission
sight glass and filler spout are serviced
from the hitch area.
• Case Drain Filters. Protect the hydraulic
system from contamination and are
conveniently located behind the cab
in the service platform.
• Batteries (1,000 CCA). Sit in a built-in
battery box and are accessible through
tread plates on the right platform.
• Shock Resistant Lights.
Are replaceable by hand, not requiring
the use of any tools.
• Caterpillar Monitoring System
(EMS-III). Provides operators and
service technicians with diagnostic
information on the machine’s major
components and systems. It also allows
for a flashable software using a laptop
and Cat ET instead of replacing a chip
that contains the new software.
• Remote Mounted ECPC Pressure Taps.
Are easily accessible behind the cab
under the platform.
• 500 Hour Oil Change Interval.
Uptime and production are increased
with a longer time between engine
oil changes.
Easier maintenance and enhanced serviceability give you more time in the pile.
