Maintenance Interval Schedule - Standby

SMCS - 1000; 4450; 7500
Ensure that all safety information, warnings and instructions are read and understood before any
operation or any maintenance procedures are performed.
An authorized operator may perform the maintenance items with daily intervals. An authorized
operator may perform the maintenance items with intervals of every week. The maintenance that is
recommended for all other maintenance intervals must be performed by an authorized service
technician or by your Caterpillar dealer.
The user is responsible for the performance of all maintenance which includes the following items:
performing all adjustments, using proper lubricants, fluids, and filters and replacing old components
with new components due to normal wear and aging .
Failure to adhere to proper maintenance intervals and procedures may result in diminished
performance of the product and/or accelerated wear of components.
Before each consecutive interval is performed, all maintenance from the previous intervals must be
performed.
Choose the interval that occurs first in order to determine the correct maintenance interval: fuel
consumption, service hours and calendar time . Products that operate in severe operating conditions
may require more frequent maintenance.
All of the following will affect the oil change interval: operating conditions, fuel type, oil type and
size of the oil sump . Scheduled oil sampling analyzes used oil in order to determine if the oil change
interval is suitable for your specific engine.
Refer to this Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Engine Oil and Filter - Change" in order to
determine the oil change interval that is suitable for your specific engine.
To determine the maintenance intervals for the overhauls, refer to this Operation and Maintenance
Manual, "Maintenance Recommendations" .
