966H Wheel Loaders
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:
