Warranty Philosophy
Overview
This bulletin explains basic warranty practices, identifies the responsibilities of each participant, and clarifies the
difference between warranty and goodwill.
What is Warranty?
Caterpillar Warranty is Caterpillar’s legal commitment to provide customer protection for product/part defects
in Caterpillar material and workmanship during a specified period of time or product usage through the Cat®
dealer. A manufacturer cannot void or cancel their product warranty.
Caterpillar Warranty has legally binding commitments and limitations outlined in a legal document called a
Warranty Statement. Caterpillar’s Warranty Statements may be found at https://warranty.cat.com/currstmts.
Dealer and Dealers are defined as any Cat Authorized Dealer or Cat Authorized Repair Representative.
1
Bulletin No. 1.01 Caterpillar: Confidential Green
Administering Warranty
The dealer administers Caterpillar Warranty and has the following responsibilities:
• Determining whether a Caterpillar defect in factory material or workmanship caused the failure.
• Determining if the failure is covered by warranty, and if so, what expenses are covered.
• Determining the most economical method of repair.
• Making the repair settlement with the customer at the close of the repair.
• Submitting a claim to Caterpillar for monetary reimbursement after the customer settlement is made.
Dealers have all the facts about the failure including:
• All the parts involved in the failure.
• The failure analysis data.
• The repair documentation.
• Any previous failure information.
• Who the customer is and the intended application.
• The product operating conditions.
• The customer/operator practices.
Note: The dealer administers the manufacturer’s warranty to the customer per the terms and conditions
outlined in the Warranty Statement. Caterpillar reimburses the dealer per the terms and conditions outlined in
the Warranty Bulletins. Reimbursement from Caterpillar to the dealer may differ from the settlement between
the dealer and the customer.
➤ Responsibility
The merchandising of Cat products involves three parties: the manufacturer (Caterpillar), the dealer, and the
customer. Each party has specific individual responsibilities impacting warranty. Examples are as follows:
The manufacturer, is responsible for:
• Standing behind the Warranty obligation.
• Initiating product improvements.
The dealer is responsible for:
• Selling products within the limits of intended capacity and application.
• Delivering products in good initial adjustment.
• Instructing customers on proper operation and maintenance.
• Identifying and reporting the cause of failure to Caterpillar.
• Administering Caterpillar Warranty.
The customer is responsible for:
• Operating the product properly and within the limits of intended capacity and application.
• Fueling, lubricating, adjusting, operating, and maintaining the equipment as instructed by the dealer and
in accordance with the recommendations set forth in the applicable Caterpillar manuals, including the
Operation and Maintenance Manual and other applicable service literature.
• Notifying the dealer promptly if a problem exists.
• Giving timely notice of a problem.
• Promptly making the product available to the dealer for warranty repairs and product improvement
programs.
Goodwill
Goodwill is not warranty and the philosophy for goodwill is managed by the Caterpillar Service Technical
Representative. Any questions regarding goodwill should be directed to the appropriate Service Tech Rep.

General Guidelines
Repair Expenses
Overview
This bulletin provides repair expense information. To determine which expenses are reimbursable, refer to
the Dealer Reimbursement Sections and Summary of Reimbursement Chart(s) in the product specific bulletin.
Contents of the applicable bulletins take precedence over information in this document.
Parts
Parts needed to complete the warranty repair, including gaskets, seals, salvage materials and any resultant
damaged Cat® parts may be claimed. These parts may be Cat new or Reman and are priced based on the date of
the repair. If more economical, the dealer may salvage a damaged part or repair an assembled component rather
than replace it. Refer to bulletin 1.15 for additional information.
Components and parts replaced under the original product warranty period are covered for the remainder of the
original product warranty period.
When Cat parts are serviced, substitute parts from sources other than Caterpillar are not considered for Caterpillar
warranty. When Caterpillar does not service a part but it must be used in the repair, the part may be claimed at
the dealer’s acquisition price.
Note: When a Reman part or a part contained within a Reman Kit (ex. overhaul kit) is the cause of a failure, then
the Reman part number should be used when filing a claim as either the part causing failure or the group number.
The lowest serviceable level part number should be used as the part causing failure and the next higher level group
number should be used in the group number field. If the Reman part number is the lowest serviceable level, the
Reman part number should be used as the Part Causing Failure. If a Reman part number is not the part causing
failure, enter the next higher level Reman group number in the group number field. If the Reman part number or
group number needs to be added to the Equate Table because it is invalid, please open a new SR in PSCRM by
selecting the following inquiry type: SIMS updates (Other than Principle Work Code and Delivery Date requests).
https://warranty.cat.com/en/need-assistance.html
Parts Reimbursement Levels/Parts Costs
Reimbursement levels for warranty repairs differ based on industry, product and policy requirements. The basic
definitions for these levels are listed below. Refer to the respective bulletins to determine which level is applied for
each product.
Dealer Net (N): The part’s acquisition price determined by Caterpillar.
Markup (M): The replacement for traditional Consumer List price, intended to provide reimbursement above Dealer Net.
Dealer and Dealers are defined as any Cat Authorized Dealer or Cat Authorized Repair Representative.
1
Bulletin No. 1.02 Caterpillar: Confidential Green
Suggested Consumer Price (L): Market-based price used by dealers as a pricing guideline for parts sold to end
user customers established within the defined pricing zones.
Scrap Parts
If no Parts Return Request is received in the 30-day hold period, the removed warranty claim parts should be
rendered useless and scrapped by the dealer, unless another disposition has been authorized by Caterpillar. Such
parts may not be used or sold (except as scrap) without the agreement of Caterpillar.
Note: Dealers should comply with local laws and regulations for scrapping and disposal of any hazardous material.
Emergency Orders For Reman Parts Not-In-Stock
For an emergency Class W Parts Order (warranty with product down) of a Reman part not in stock, the equivalent
new part is shipped and invoiced at the Reman price, plus the standard core charge. This practice is not applicable
for major components (e.g. engines, transmissions). When filing a claim, the part number of the ordered Reman
part/component must be listed on the Expense Detail line.
Parts Service Charges
Service charges are fees for parts obtained on an emergency order, and are a percentage of the Dealer Net (D/N)
price. The Part percentages are published in the Parts Gram at:
https://dealer.cat.com/en/ps/parts/partsgrams.html and are as follows:
• 0 % for slow moving parts
• 2% as defined in Regional Parts Grams Exception Items
• 5 % for medium moving parts
• 8 % for fast moving parts
Service/Maintenance Items
Service/Maintenance items include oil, coolant, hydraulic fluids, filters, spark plugs, belts and/or other items listed in
the Operation and Maintenance Manual. Service items replaced in the normal course of the repair or inspection, are
not reimbursable. Service items unusable due to loss or contamination resulting from a warrantable failure may be
reimbursed.
Note: When the full package quantity of engine oil, hydraulic oil, and/or coolant is used, it must be claimed as a
Parts Expense using the Caterpillar part number. If the Caterpillar part number or pricing is not available, the fluids
must be claimed as a Miscellaneous Expense. If the full package quantity of fluid is not used, claim the actual
amount used as a Miscellaneous Expense.
Shop Supplies
Shop supplies are general consumables used during the warranty repair. Examples may include the following:
shop towels, welding rod, wire ties, gasket maker, sealants, solvents, adhesives, primers, paint*, assembly
lubricants, anti-seize compounds, buffing discs and pads, and emery cloths. Shop supplies are not reimbursable
if they are included in the dealer’s labor rate.
*Note: Refer to Warranty Bulletins 2.01 and 3.01 for information on paint repairs.
Labor
Repair Labor
Repair labor includes time to inspect, test, diagnose, remove, disassemble, clean, assemble and install components/
parts to complete a warranty repair. Labor is reimbursed at the approved labor rate on file with Caterpillar at the
time of the repair. Refer to Bulletin 1.05 for additional information.
Labor hours are found in the applicable Labor Guidelines: Time Requirement Guideline (TRG), Machine
Labor Guideline (MLG) or Earthmoving Repair Labor Guideline (ERLG). These guidelines are available
at https://dealer.cat.com/en/ps/service/trg.html. In cases where no published times exist, a detailed labor
breakdown of segmented actual reasonable times must be claimed using applicable SMCS codes in order
to identify labor operations performed. Refer to Warranty Bulletin 1.09.
Parts Salvage Labor
Parts salvage labor is the time to perform salvage operations, such as machining, cutting, burning, trimming,
2 01.02-21 (05/19)
Caterpillar: Confidential Green Bulletin No. 1.02
bending, heating, welding, etc. It does not include labor to disassemble and assemble the part or component
associated with performing the salvage operation (i.e. the cutting off and welding on of bucket edges or other GET
/ Work Tool components). Salvaging a part may be considered if the Cat part can be satisfactorily repaired and
the cost does not exceed 50% of the D/N price for a new part or Reman (if available).
Salvage labor should be claimed as a miscellaneous item.
Overtime Labor
There is no overtime labor rate. Labor is reimbursed at the applicable labor rate on file. If labor is performed after
normal working hours, the labor hours may be claimed as part of the overall repair hours.
Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting is time claimed for conducting tests to determine the failure such as injector cutout test, bottle test for
cylinder head failures, etc. Troubleshooting time does not include the following: removal and installation, disassembly
and assembly, Applied Failure Analysis reporting, communications with a TC, or waiting for information to proceed.
Hauling/Towing Costs
Costs associated with hauling or towing a product to a Caterpillar authorized repair facility. If claiming for hauling
or towing costs, the amount should be less than the cost of a technician’s travel time and mileage.

Bulletin No. 1.02 Caterpillar: Confidential Green
Freight Charges
Freight from a Caterpillar facility to the dealer is included in the parts price or the Transportation and Import
(T&I) adjustment factor and is not claimable as a separate expense. Dealer shuttle service expenses between a
Caterpillar Parts Distribution Center and the dealer or between dealer stores is not reimbursable. Exceptions may
apply in the following situations:
Emergency charges
Premium freight
Special handling charges
Refer to the product specific bulletin (2.01 for machines, 3.01 for engines, etc.) for additional information.
Preventive Repairs
Preventive repairs for situations that don’t present an identified defect in material and/or workmanship cannot
be claimed as warranty. Availability of improved parts, Caterpillar recommendations and publications, such as
Technical Information Bulletins and Service Magazines, are not justifications for warranty reimbursement.
Extended Operation
Extended operation is continuing to operate the product after awareness of a possible failure. Such awareness
may include fault indicators, fault codes, abnormal sound and/or operation. Damage resulting from extended
operation is not reimbursable.
Remote Flash:
Caterpillar offers the ability for dealers to flash software remotely for certain products. For Remote Flash, there may
be a data fee charged to the dealer per occurrence. General software updates are not considered to be factory
defects and the costs associated with updating software are not eligible for warranty reimbursement.
If there is an identified warrantable defect, and the solution to the defect is to install new software, then the data fee
is reimbursable as part of the overall warranty repair, if justified. Dealers should use miscellaneous code REMOTE
for this charge and explain in the claim story.
Note: Dealers must retain all supporting documentation showing the amount charged by Caterpillar for the remote
data fee.

SERVICE
General Guidelines
Transportation and Importation (T&I) charges adjust parts credit from the dealer’s net price to an average landed
cost. The adjustment is dependent on the dealer’s parts pricing terms (e.g. if parts pricing terms are delivered
duty paid - DDP, then no adjustment to a landed cost should needed). T&I charges, when applicable, are
allowed.
Charges include:
• Surface freight
• Non-reimbursable customs duties
• Taxes
• Inland freight to the dealer
The Caterpillar Service Claims System applies T&I charges to parts expenses when pricing information is
available in the Parts Pricing System.
For situations where there is no pricing information available and T&I charges are applicable, utilize the
miscellaneous line MISCTI to claim them (refer to bulletin 1.27). Contact your Parts or Service Operations Rep
for the applicable T&I factor. Examples driving the use of miscellaneous lines for part expenses include:
• Design to Order – DTO
• No Cat part numbers available
The following are not included under T&I charges:
• Emergency charges
• Premium freight
• Special handling charges
For reimbursement practices on the items listed above please consult bulletin 1.02, freight section.
Contact your Parts or Service Operations Representative for further information or with requests to update the
T&I factor.

General Guidelines
Overview
For Caterpillar to correctly reimburse warranty labor expenses, dealers are required to annually report their
warranty labor rates to Caterpillar.
Note: Olympian Warranty Labor Rates and Vocational On-highway Truck Labor Rates are set per contract
agreements, not requested through the Warranty Labor Rate Change Request. Contact your Industry Technical
Representative for additional information.
Dealer and Dealers are defined as any Cat Authorized Dealer or Cat Authorized Repair Representative.

Bulletin No. 1.05 Caterpillar: Confidential Green
Machines: Earthmoving, Vocational Truck and Compact Machine labor rates are assigned to claims using
product type and model designations. Refer to Table 1 on page 5 for a list of compact machine models. Mining
labor rates are assigned based on the principle work code assigned to the product. Refer to Table 3 on page 6
for a list of the Mining principle work codes.
Engines: Olympian, EPG Premium (ATS, UPS and Switchgear, where applicable) and 3600 Engine labor rates
are assigned to claims using product type and model designations. Refer to Table 2 on page 6. All other engine
market rates, such as Marine, Oil and Gas, etc. are assigned based on the principle work code assigned to the
product. The Commercial Engine rate is used when no other market rate is active.
A dealer is required to submit an Earthmoving rate and a Commercial Rate for each dealer branch that services
Cat products. The other market rates are not required unless the dealership publishes any of the rate types listed
above, then those rates should also be submitted to Caterpillar. The Earthmoving and Commercial Engine rates
should only include the products not represented by one of the other market rates. The Earthmoving rate is used
when no other market rates are active. Rates should be provided for the main store and all branches that apply.
Note: When submitting a Mining rate for the first time, the Earthmoving rate must be recalculated excluding data
to be used for Mining rate calculations. If the Mining rate is added after the Earthmoving rate has been put on
file for the year, a second, recalculated Earthmoving rate will be accepted.
Expanded Cat Mining Products may require special, agreed-upon labor rates documented in contracts. These
situations should not be included in the overall Mining labor rate calculation and do not constitute an overall
Mining labor rate.

Caterpillar: Confidential Green Bulletin No. 1.05
Travel Rate
When applicable to the product being serviced, the Travel Rate is used to compensate the dealer for the
Service Technician’s time spent traveling to and from a job site to perform a repair. It is 90% of the Average
Realized Base Labor Rate. Shop supply and Disposal fees are not included in this calculation. The Travel
Rate is multiplied by the hours provided in the claim detail when applicable for a warrantable repair.
Note: When claiming travel and mileage, the two items must be listed separately in the claim detail.
Travel Rate = 90% of Average Realized Base Labor Rate
Example: 90% of Average Realized Base Labor Rate = (0.90 x 93.50) = 84.15
4 01.05-19 (01/20)
Caterpillar: Confidential Green Bulletin No. 1.05
Note: Disposal Expense requests above 1.3% of the Average Realized Base Labor Rate require a discussion
with the Service Operations Rep.
Note: If a Net Hazardous Waste Disposal Expense result is a negative number, then zero will be entered into
the Caterpillar System. Do not adjust the calculation on the worksheet.
Net Hazardous Waste Disposal Expense = (Total disposal fee cost - Total recovery for reclamation)
Total dealer service hours sold
(revenue and interdepartmental)
Note: The calculations for the Average Realized Base Labor Rate, the Shop Supplies Expense, and Net
Hazardous Waste Expense must result from data collected from the twelve months just prior to the Labor Rate
submission date. Refer to the example on page 3.

Overview
For Caterpillar to correctly reimburse warranty labor expenses, all second level dealers, including Truck Engine
Parts and Service (TEPS), Industrial Service Distributor (ISD), Marine Engine Parts and Service (MEPS),
Authorized Marine Dealer (AMD), and other Authorized Sales and Service Centers (ASSC) are required to
annually report their warranty labor rates to Caterpillar.

Dealer and Dealers are defined as any Cat Authorized Dealer or Cat Authorized Repair Representative.
1
Bulletin No. 1.05T Caterpillar: Confidential Green
The Program Manager at the Cat dealer is required to review the invoices to determine if the labor rate change
is supported. If the change is supported, the Program Manager approves the new rate and sends the ASSC
Warranty Labor Rate Change Request Form to the Caterpillar Industry Service Representative for review.
When the labor rate remains the same, the only annual requirement is a completed ASSC Warranty Labor Rate
Change Form with applicable signatures and electronic approvals. The requirement for the revenue invoices is
not needed.
For additional questions, contact the Program Manager at the Cat dealer.
Travel Rate
When applicable to the product being serviced, the Travel Rate is used to compensate the dealer for the Service
Technician’s time spent traveling to and from a job site to perform a repair. It is 90% of the Average Realized
Base Labor Rate. Shop supply and Disposal fees are not included in this calculation. The Travel Rate is
multiplied by the hours provided in the claim detail when applicable for a warrantable repair.
Note: When claiming travel and mileage, the two items must be listed separately in the claim detail.
Travel Rate = 90% of Average Realized Base Labor Rate
Example: 90% of Average Realized Base Labor Rate = (0.90 x 93.50) = 84.15

NOTE:
This bulletin describes the proper use of Problem Description Codes for warranty claims, with the
exception of Defective Parts Stock. To submit a Defective Parts Stock warranty claim, reference
the special claiming instructions and the separate list of Problem Description Codes in Bulletin
4.08, found on the Global Warranty website at https://warranty.cat.com/wtyguide.
Overview
Problem Description Codes are used on warranty claims to describe a failure/defect, or indicate a specific type
of claim.
If possible, the Problem Description Code used on claims should agree with the code used in the Service
Information Management System (SIMS) Report. However, if another Problem Description Code is more
descriptive of the failure, it should be used on the claim.
The charts on the following pages list the two-digit Problem Description Codes used to describe the failure or
defect.
Note: The chart on page 2 is organized by category. The chart on pages 3 and 4 is organized by the two-digit
Problem Description Code. System default codes are listed in bold print and highlighted in yellow.
To submit a claim, the appropriate two-digit Problem Description Code must be entered in the the “Description

Bulletin No. 1.09 Caterpillar: Confidential Green
SERVICE
General Guidelines
➤ Overview
This bulletin explains how:
• To determine the order of coverage
• To determine the appropriate coverage for various types of products
• To identify specific codes used to differentiate types of product applications and sales methods
• The product sale method affects reimbursement practices
• To validate coverage
➤ Order of Coverage
The purpose of this section is to provide greater detail about how coverage is assigned and the rationale for the
order in which it is structured.
Illustrated in the Order of Coverage chart within this bulletin is an overview of the major types of coverage
available from Caterpillar (it does not include all of the options available). Because the Order of Coverage affects
the repair, repair invoicing and how a claim is filed, dealers should follow this Order of Coverage to increase
the likelihood of claims being processed correctly the first time. Each type of coverage has different policies,
requirements, and other details that are documented within bulletins. The terms provided for the customer
should follow the terms and conditions outlined in warranty statements and any applicable programs/contracts.
1. Service Letters
Product Improvement Programs (PIPs) and Product Support Programs (PSPs) known as Service Letters are
programs issued by Caterpillar to address known issues. Service Letters should be claimed first and the terms
and conditions are listed in a standardized format found in Service Information System (SIS). Service Letters
must be performed as instructed and the claim is processed per the service letter. Refer to Bulletin 1.16 for
more information about Service Letters and visit the Job Aid section of the Global Warranty website at https://
warranty.cat.com/en/resources0.html.
Dealer and Dealers are defined as any Cat Authorized Dealer or Cat Authorized Repair Representative.

Bulletin No. 1.11 Caterpillar: Confidential Green
2. Emissions Coverage
In the absence of applicable Service Letters, Emissions warranty is next in the Order of Coverage. Emissions
Coverage is region specific, based on governmental regulations that require a manufacturer to have products
that conform to certain emissions specifications. Emissions coverage is also based on application and parts
involved and typically provides longer coverage periods beyond standard product warranty. For more detailed
information on emissions warranty please refer to bulletins 7.01 and 7.02.
4. Extended Coverage
The Extended Coverage options are next in the Order of Coverage and include first year labor, EPP/ESC, or
used EPP/ESC coverage.
Year 1- labor only is machine specific and provides labor coverage during the standard warranty period when
purchased through Caterpillar Financial Insurance Services.
EPP/ESC provides coverage beyond standard warranty. It is applied after the applicable standard or parts
warranty (based on covered components). EPP applies to machines and has various age, hour, and coverage
levels available. ESC applies to engine products and has various age, hour, and coverage levels available
based on Industry and application. Refer to the Caterpillar Financial Insurance Services ESC contracts and the
EPP Bulletins for additional details.
5. Parts Warranty
Parts warranty covers parts purchased through a dealer’s parts department or service department for service
repairs. For more information on parts warranty, please refer to bulletin 4.01.
7. Merchandising/Assurance Program
In some cases, Caterpillar provides additional reimbursement as part of a merchandising or assurance program.
These programs often have defined start and end points, may cover limited components and products, and may
also have limitations based on regions. These programs are the last option to apply. Refer to the respective
bulletins in the Merchandising/Assurance section.
For additional information, refer to the Global Warranty Service Guide located on the Global Warranty website or
submit a service request to the Warranty Service Desk.
Product Identification
Dealers must identify the product, its function, and its application to determine the applicable coverage for a
service repair. The following information explains how this information is determined.
Model Series – alphabetic letter at the end of the model designation used to differentiate manufacturing
changes of a machine/engine model
Sales Application Code – alphabetic letter used to determine applicable reimbursement terms by identifying
the function an engine, gen-set, transmission, or branded marine control
Principle Work Code – three digit number used to identify the product’s application
Distribution Code / Owner Class – single-digit numeric or alphabetic code used to identify the sales method
for a serialized product and drives reimbursement terms. This code is referred to as “Owner Class” in the
Service Information Management System (SIMS).
Caterpillar sells products through the following main distribution methods:
• Directly to Cat dealers
• Directly to another manufacturer, called an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)
• Directly to governmental agencies
Note: When retail-sold Electric Power or Industrial engines change territories and the repairing dealer differs
from the selling dealer, OEM reimbursement terms may apply. In this case, the repairing dealer should request
a distribution code change to “W” by submitting a ticket to the Warranty Service Desk.

Product Delivery
Overview
Once a product is sold, the sale must be reported. Please refer to Dealer.cat.com for more information on sales
reporting of a prime product.
Once a product is delivered to the first customer and is ready to be put into service, the delivery date must be
reported. It should be recorded on the Engine/Product Delivery Service Record (DSR). Electronic signatures
and/or electronic files may be used. See the Submitting Delivery Service Record Information section below.
The Delivery Date is the date product warranty period begins.
Machines
The delivery date for a new machine is when the unit is physically transported from the dealer’s place of business
to the customer’s place of business or job site for the purpose of putting it into service. This applies to machines
sold to dealer rental fleets, machines on lease and machines sold to brokers.
Once a delivery date (warranty start date) has been established, warranty will continue without interruption for
the duration of the warranty period. Changes to the warranty period must be approved by the Product Manager,
or designee. Approved changes to the length of the warranty period or duration will be managed using coverage
start dates in lieu of changing the delivery date. The delivery date should remain the same as the date on the
original signed DSR.
Machines in dealer inventory are eligible for pre-delivery repair expense reimbursement before a delivery date is
established. See Warranty Bulletin 2.01. The Service Meter Unit (SMU) limit for a pre-delivery repair is 100 hours.
Pre-delivery claims for product with SMU greater than 100 hours will be reimbursed per standard warranty policy,
i.e. labor will not be reimbursed.
Rental Fleet - Warranty Administration - Warranty on products in the rental fleet should be administered by the
dealer’s service department in the same way as units delivered to any other initial user.
Rental Fleet - Products Sold After Use in Rental Fleet – When a unit from the dealer’s rental fleet is sold, a
used machine sale should be reported to Caterpillar via SIMSi. The warranty period, as determined from the
original Delivery Service Record, is not affected by such change of ownership. Caterpillar will provide warranty
Dealer and Dealers are defined as any Cat Authorized Dealer or Cat Authorized Repair Representative.
1
Bulletin No. 1.12 Caterpillar: Confidential Green
coverage for the remainder of the warranty period based on the delivery date established when the unit was sold
to the rental fleet. Any warranty extension beyond original warranty period provided at the time of sale is the
responsibility of the selling dealer.
Commercial Engines
The delivery date for a new commercial engine is when the unit is physically transported from the dealer’s place
of business to the user’s place of business or job site for the purpose of putting it into service. This date also
applies to engines put into service in dealer rental fleets or engines sold to a broker. Some exceptions apply, see
below. Selling to an OEM does not constitute delivery to the first customer; therefore the delivery date should not
be entered for a sale to an OEM.
Engines in dealer inventory are eligible for pre-delivery repair expense reimbursement before a delivery date is
established. See Warranty Bulletin 3.01. The Service Meter Unit (SMU) limit for a pre-delivery repair is 200 hours.
Pre-delivery claims for product with SMU greater than 200 hours will be reimbursed per standard warranty policy.
Some exceptions apply, see below.
Any documented information received from the customer that has not previously been entered into SIMSi should
be entered by the servicing dealer. If there is a discrepancy between the customer-supplied information and
SIMSi, the discrepancy should be resolved at the time of repair.

delivery date into SIMSi..
Engines - Transferred EPG Units
For Electric Power Generation Products that have been transferred from the first customer to a second customer
prior to being started by an authorized Cat dealer, warranty will start upon delivery to the first customer.
Caterpillar reserves the right to make exceptions to this policy based on proper storage procedures, adherence
to application/installation guidelines, proper start-up and confidence in the selling entity’s willingness and ability
to ensure customer satisfaction for non-warrantable failures.

• A new contested claim may be submitted for a cancelled contested claim, as long as it is submitted
within 30 days of last settlement.
Supplemental Claims
After a Service Claim Settlement Notice has been issued on an original claim, omitted (PD 20) or non-allowed
expenses (PD 98) may be submitted for reconsideration on a supplemental claim. Supplemental claims cannot
duplicate expenses reimbursed on the original claim.
There are two types of supplemental claims, which are identified by the problem description code:
• Contested Supplemental Claims (PD 98) - are used to contest non-allowed claims or non-allowed
expenses on the original claim In these cases, the claim “Control” page should be updated with the
dealer claim number and a “98” should be entered in the Description Code field. No additional changes
should be made to the “Control” page for a supplemental (PD 98) claim.
Supplemental (PD 98) claims are filed to contest the previous settlement and may include changes
in the claim story and/or references to additional documentation in SIMSi, including ECM downloads,
invoices, service images, etc. Information that should not be added to the claim includes previously
unclaimed items and/or corrections for items previously filed incorrectly.
• Additions / Corrections Supplementals (PD 20) - are used to correct expenses or to submit additional
information omitted in the original claim. In these cases, the claim “Control” page should be updated
with the dealer claim number and a “20” should be entered in the Description Code field. No additional
changes should be made to the “Control” page for a supplemental (PD 20) claim.
New claims must be filed when one of the following conditions apply:
• The “Control” page requires changes from the original claim other than the dealer claim number and PD code
• Claims are linked to cancelled or returned claims exceeding 14 days in the Grief-Hold File
Cancelled Claims
Cancelled claims are claims that have been voided and cannot be contested. Even though there was no monetary
transaction between Caterpillar and the dealer, a copy of the cancelled claim remains in the Caterpillar Service
Claim System.
Caterpillar or the dealer may cancel a claim in the following ways:
• Dealer Request - A dealer may request a claim to be cancelled due to an incomplete/incorrect claim.
• Warranty Analyst - A warranty analyst may cancel a claim if information cannot be fully evaluated to
continue processing.
• System Process - The Caterpillar Service Claims System cancels a claim when the following conditions apply:
• Specific information does not meet the system edit guidelines to process. For example: an
incorrect serial number.
• A returned claim exceeds the 14-day dealer processing limit in the online Grief-Hold File.
Supplemental claims (PD 20 or 98) associated with cancelled claims are not accepted by the Caterpillar claims
system. Therefore, for further claim action a new claim with a new claim number must be submitted. All claim field
data must be re-entered, making corrections or additions as necessary, and the original dealer claim number from
the canceled claim must not be re-used.
Time Limits
Caterpillar must receive service claims and addition/correction supplemental claims within 60 days of the repair
date (last day of labor) on the claim. Caterpillar must receive contested supplemental claims within 30 days of the
settlement notice date of the original claim. Late claims are not accepted unless prior authorization is given. Claims
are not accepted for a repair outside of 365 days.

General Guidelines
Overview
Caterpillar owned products are not covered by any warranty. These products include but are not limited to:
• Field-follow
• Loan units
• Demonstration units at Caterpillar Demonstration Centers
• Caterpillar Mining Solutions owned products (such as Command for Hauling) that may be installed on
customer owned products
• Cat Financial Operating Lease for Dealer Rental Fleets
• Products at the Product Distribution Centers
Before making any repairs to Caterpillar owned products, dealers must obtain approval from the Caterpillar Group
that owns the product. A sticker may be attached to the product indicating the Caterpillar department to contact for
authorization.
Dealer Reimbursement
Dealer reimbursement will be handled by a revenue invoice or a factory authorized service claim, based on the
instructions from the authorizing Caterpillar department.
All pertinent information about the repair must be kept on file. This includes the purpose of the repair and the name
and phone number of the Caterpillar person authorizing the repair.
Notes:
• For Field Follow, submit claims to the Caterpillar Service Claims System.
• For products under the Cat Financial Operating Lease Program for Dealer Rental Fleets, submit claims to
the Caterpillar Service Claims System. Products under this program have a “remedial rights” period that
mirrors standard factory warranty. This period begins with the operating lease date.
Dealer and Dealers are defined as any Cat Authorized Dealer or Cat Authorized Repair Representative.

SERVICE
General Guidelines
Overview
The following guidelines are used to determine whether to repair or replace parts, serialized components, and/or prime
products with new or Reman options.
Dealer and Dealers are defined as any Cat Authorized Dealer or Cat Authorized Repair Representative.

Bulletin No. 1.15 Caterpillar: Confidential Green
For an extended period of time the repair process may be very different for many components of Expanded Cat® Mining
Product models (excluding MT Family Trucks). Overtime, service parts, special tooling, repair information, etc. will be
made available to Cat dealers to the support most economical repair.
If Caterpillar has not made serviceable parts available and provided specific component repair instructions via SIS, it is
possible that significant repairs will need to be made by Caterpillar or the component supplier/manufacturer.
In these cases:
• If specific instructions are not available via SIS, contact Caterpillar DSN for repair process instructions before
beginning disassembly of any component beyond correction of leaks.
• Replacement rather than repair of the component may be required. Reimbursement of allowable expenses will
be in alignment with the replace vs. repair instructions provided via DSN process.
• If the DSN was contacted, include the DSN ticket number in the story of resulting warranty claims.
Failure to comply with this special requirement may result in denial of claims for warranty reimbursement or debit of
previously settled claims.
Note that the DSN does not authorize warranty; repair instructions are for the purpose of restoring product functionality.
If the piston rings have not failed, are not contingently damaged, or removed from the piston, they may be reused. The
piston rings may be reinstalled in the same liner (heavy-duty) or reinstalled in the same cylinder (medium duty) from which
they were removed.
Rod bearings may be reused if there is no contamination of the lube system and the bearing was removed for inspection
or when removing a cylinder pack.
The following applies for contaminated lube systems:
• Coolant or fuel contamination, which occurred over a day or more, are considered continued operation and are
not reimbursable.
• Heavy and fast contamination in which a customer would not have reasonable opportunity to take action is
reimbursable and must be justified in the claim story.
• Metal contamination of bearings is reimbursable.
• When a connecting rod or complete cylinder pack is replaced, a new rod bearing is reimbursable.
Usage of Reman
A Reman part / component must be used when it is determined that a Reman part / component is available and it is the
most economical means of repair. When required, a complete Reman major component must always be used to satisfy
Reman product warranty. In countries where Reman part usage is restricted, it is acceptable to use New Parts. The
Caterpillar Reman product group validates approved countries with this exception.
01.15-07 (05/16) 3
Bulletin No. 1.15 Caterpillar: Confidential Green
Claim Story (Engines): If the Reman engine was sold into an industrial application by a TEPS dealer or into a marine
application by either a Cat dealer or an AMD, include the sales method in the Claim Story in order to receive the
appropriate warranty coverage.
Required Documentation: Completed Repair vs. Replace Cost Comparison Worksheet and Caterpillar Invoice.
NOTE (All Products): When a major component is replaced with a Reman replacement component the dealer must:
• Create a SIMS entry noting the Reman replacement component serial number.
• Update the product configuration screen in SIMS with the Reman replacement component serial number.

Service Letters
Overview
Product Improvement Programs (PIPs) and Product Support Programs (PSPs) are programs issued by Caterpillar
through Service Letters. The terms and conditions of such programs are listed in a standardized format found in
Service Information System (SIS). Service Letters should not be copied or provided to customers as these documents
are intended for dealer internal use only.
Note: Containment PSPs identified with program numbers PS6xxxx and PS9xxxx are not covered by this bulletin.
Contact your Caterpillar Tech Rep for assistance.
Visit the Job Aid section of the Global Warranty website at https://warranty.cat.com/en/resources0.html for additional
information on Service Letters including the followings topics:
• Service Letter Reference Numbers
• Service Letter Term Definitions
• Dealer PIP Completion Responsibility
• Dealer Inability to Complete a Safety or Priority PIP Rework (Customer refusal, performed by customer, not
applicable, location unknown, or product out of service)
• Owner Notification of Safety and Priority PIPs
• Reporting PIP / PSP Completion in SIMS
• Dealer Training and Preparation for PIP Repairs
• Service Letter Process Map
PIPs are mandatory programs issued to repair or replace parts or assembled components. The three types of
PIPs include:
• Safety PIPs
• Priority PIPs
• Parts Stock or Dealer Tool PIPs
Caterpillar or the Cat dealer sends a notice of the product problem to the customer/end user for Safety and Priority PIPs.
Safety PIPs are programs established to eliminate a suspected safety hazard. Dealers must give Safety PIPs
immediate attention by performing the PIP repair as soon as possible. Safety PIPs do not have a termination date
and are valid indefinitely.
Dealer and Dealers are defined as any Cat Authorized Dealer or Cat Authorized Repair Representative.

Bulletin No. 1.16 Caterpillar: Confidential Green
Priority PIPs are programs established to eliminate future potentially costly repairs and/or meet regulatory
requirements. A Priority PIP has a Completion Date and a Termination Date.
• Completion Date - For all Priority PIPs, (except Parts Stock/Dealer Tool PIPs) the completion date is the last
day of the month, six (6) months after the issue date of the Service Letter. If a dealer starts a Priority PIP on or
before the completion date, Caterpillar reimburses the dealer for the parts and labor specified in the Priority PIP
Service Letter. Additionally, Caterpillar reimburses the dealer for justified resultant damage parts and labor.
• Termination Date - For all Priority PIPs, (except Parts Stock/Dealer Tool PIPs) the termination date is last
day of the month, twelve (12) months after the issue date of the Service Letter. If a dealer starts a Priority PIP
after the completion date, but on or before the termination date, Caterpillar’s reimbursement to the dealer is
limited to the parts and labor specified in the Priority PIP Service Letter. Reimbursement does not include
resultant damage.
Parts Stock / Dealer Tool PIPs are programs established to remove suspected improper parts stock or
dealer tool stock from a dealer’s parts inventory. Service Letters for Parts Stock and Dealer Tool PIPs instruct
dealers to scrap, salvage, or return the parts or tools to Caterpillar.
• Termination Date - For all Parts Stock and Dealer Tool PIPs, the termination date is the last day of the
month, three (3) months after the issue date of the Service Letter.
TEPS Dealers / AMDs cannot submit Parts Stock / Dealer Tool PIPs. They are reimbursed for recalled parts
or tools by returning the affected parts or tools to the Cat dealer. Parts Stock/Dealer Tool PIPs involving salvage
labor are handled in the same manner. The Cat dealer is reimbursed for the exchanged parts or tools or salvage
labor by submitting a Parts Stock/Dealer Tool PIP claim.
PSPs are programs providing dealers and customers support for known product problems. The two types of
PSPs include:
• Before or After Failure PSPs
• After Failure Only PSPs
PSPs may provide partial repair expense participation by Caterpillar, as the customer received a portion of the
intended product value. In such cases, the remainder of the PSP repair costs is shared between the dealer and
the customer, as indicated in the Service Letter. The dealer is required to perform the PSP and file a claim for
reimbursement consideration. This does not include containment PSPs with PS6 or PS9 program numbers.
Before or After Failure PSPs allow dealers to perform the PSP repair prior to a failure of the identified
PSP problem, or at the time a failure occurs due to the PSP problem. Completion of before failure repairs is
based on dealer assessment of impact and requirements of specific customers. Before failure repairs are to be
performed when determined the repair is necessary.
After Failure Only PSPs allow dealers to only perform the PSP repair caused by the identified PSP problem
once a failure has occurred.

reimbursable.
• If the actual labor hours to perform a PIP repair are less than the Service Letter labor allowance, the full labor
allowance listed in the Service Letter may be claimed.
• If the actual labor hours to perform a PSP repair are less than the Service Letter labor allowance, only the
actual labor hours may be claimed.

Mobil-Trac™ Belt
Overview
This bulletin covers warranty and claim submission instructions for track belts part of Caterpillar’s Mobil-Trac™
System (MTS) used on Challenger® Ag tractors, Lexion combines, Versatile Flotation System (VFS) trailers and
asphalt pavers.
For Challenger Ag tractors, two tread bar designs are available including:
• Standard tread bar
• Special Application (SA)/Low Ground Disturbance tread bar
The primary difference between designs is a 1.0 inch (25.4 mm) difference in the tread bar height. There are also
several different track belt carcasses and guide block designs available, including inside protector and side
slope designs.
For Asphalt pavers, two tread bar designs are available including:
• Standard tread bar
• Smooth surface belt
VFS undercarriage trailers are sold with new Mobil-Trac belts with a chevron tread bar pattern or circumferential
ribs.
Warranty Coverage
New Mobil-Trac Belts for Challenger Ag tractors, Lexion combines, VFS trailers and asphalt pavers are covered
by the Mobil-Trac Belt Warranty statement. The warranty period is 48 months beginning on the date of delivery
to the initial user or the sales date for part replacements.
Retread Mobil-Trac Belts for VFS undercarriage trailers do not have a warranty statement, but are warranted for 24
months beginning on the date of delivery date to the initial user or the sales date for part replacements. Warranty
does not apply to used Mobil-Trac Belts sold on new VFS trailers.
Dealer and Dealers are defined as any Cat Authorized Dealer or Cat Authorized Repair Representative.
1
Bulletin No. 2.05 Caterpillar: Confidential Green
Reimbursement for replacement of new and retread track belts is prorated based on the average wear
percentage of the tread bars on the belt surface. Proration does not apply within the first 12 months or 10% of
wear, whichever comes first.
Example:
A failed standard belt on a Challenger Ag tractor has an average measured tread bar height of 1.75 inches.
The Markup pricing is $6500 and the Dealer Net (D/N) price is $5000. For this example, the user allowance
Caterpillar gives the customer toward the purchase of a new replacement belt is:
User Allowance = (A-B)x(C)
D
= (1.75 - 0.5)x($6500)
2.0
= $4062.50
The customer participation is:
Customer Participation = Markup - User Allowance
= $6500 - $4062.50
= $2437.50
Caterpillar reimbursement to the dealer is:
Dealer Reimbursement = D/N price - Customer Participation
= $5000 - $2437.50
= $2562.50
*Markup represents D/N x 1.36
02.05-07 (05/17) 3
Bulletin No. 2.05 Caterpillar: Confidential Green
In addition, credit is issued for reinforcing all other guide blocks with bolts to prevent future failures. Install
missing bolts on guide blocks and secure all remaining guide blocks on the belt with bolts, per special
instructions in REHS0151.
Or,
Replace the Belt if damage is more than just the guide blocks or the salvage cost exceeds the prorated
Dealer Reimbursement for a new replacement belt.
Guide block failures not warrantable under Mobil-Trac Belt Warranty include the following causes of
failure:
• Untracking is considered an application or operational problem, assuming the belt tension is correct.
• Extreme Side Hill Applications (more than 20% grade) cause track belts to reach the end of useful
life due to excessive guide block wear before the tread bars reach 100% worn.
• Alignment Problems may cause rapid guide block wear. Alignment problems resulting from a
machine related problem may or may not be warrantable under the machine warranty.
Missing tread bars - Track belts missing two or more tread bars with little or no parent material left
indicating major unbonding from the belt are warrantable and should be replaced. If the missing tread bars
have significant parent material left on the belt or a section of the belt is torn away, it indicates the failure is
caused by external forces and is not warrantable.
Torn track belts are not warrantable. Belts torn, split, cracked, missing pieces, or with broken cables
are not usually material or workmanship failures. These failures are caused by improper operation or
application resulting in untracking, ingestion of debris, or material packing in the undercarriage.
Refer to SEBF8351 “Guideline for Reusable Parts” for belt damage causes, assessments and usability.
Replacement of a mating non-failed belt is not warrantable. When a failed warrantable track belt with
a significant amount of wear is replaced, the customer must decide whether or not to replace the non-failed
mating track belt at the customer’s expense. Putting a new track belt on one side with a heavily worn track
belt on the other side may cause the machine or trailer to drift toward the side of the worn belt.

Warranty Registration
The Delivery Service Record form is used to document the date of product delivery to the first user for starting
the warranty period. The document needs to be signed by the customer to start the warranty clock. If the unit is
a rental, the dealership signs the form. The following are 2 options the dealers have for submitting the Delivery
Service Record form information to Caterpillar:
By electronically entering the information into Caterpillar’s sales reporting system SCORE (Sales
Configuration Owner Report System) or,
2 02.07-08 (07/18)
Caterpillar: Confidential Green Bulletin No. 2.07
By electronically entering the information into SIMSi. The delivery date of the machine also establishes the
warranty start date for Cat engines and power modules that are part of the machine. Dealer’s must retain
on file a copy of the Delivery Service Record for verification, if requested by Caterpillar or JLG.
In the event the dealer fails to comply with the establishment of warranty by completing registration through
Caterpillar’s SCORE system, JLG will consider the date of shipment from the manufacturer as the delivery date to
the first user.
Occasionally a dealer will be requested to perform repair work on a new telehandler that has been shipped from
JLG and is located in a seaport or transportation yard. The expense should be claimed through the Caterpillar
Warranty Claim System.
Please be aware of the repair policy governing these products in order to avoid denial of a warranty claim and refer
to the published JLG document, “Warranty Information Bulletin 923, April 2009,” on this topic for the most current
information.
Please review and communicate the following points regarding repair, replacement, or return of this component on
machines still under warranty:
• AUTHORIZED REPAIRS – In many cases, adjustments or minor repairs can cure common faults or
problems. The Dealer Solution Network, via the dealer Technical Communicator (TC) is available to
help you identify these instances. The following transmission repairs are authorized while the component
is still within its warranty period.
• Do not perform any repairs other than what is outlined above. This policy is necessary to ensure
that the original failure mode is preserved. Preserving the original failure mode allows for a thorough and
accurate analysis and facilitates identification of the root cause of the failure. This ultimately leads to
quicker problem resolution and product improvement.
IMPORTANT – The transmission case or transfer case cannot be opened for repair, unless
the required operation is authorized by a Product Support Program or Product Improvement
Program.
• RETURN PROCESS – If the transmission requires replacement and a new transmission is ordered,
the original transmission may be requested to be returned for evaluation. Do not send components
back, unless a JLG representative or the Caterpillar warranty system has instructed you to do so. In all
cases, a Return Goods Authorization (RGA) or Send It Back (SIB) number must be issued before the
return is authorized. All returned components must be fully assembled and complete.
IMPORTANT – Do not return disassembled components. The transmission and all associated
components must be fully assembled prior to return. Please refer to the published Special Instruction on
this topic for contact information and most current process.

Dealer Reimbursement = D/N - Customer Participation Amount
Example of a Rubber Track Failure on a Cat Multi Terrain Loader:
The rubber track has 1000 hours of wear
Markup pricing is $2592.00
Dealer Net (D/N) price is $1814.76
User/Customer Participation Percentage = (1000 hours/1500 hours) = 0.6666 or 67%
User/Customer Participation Amount = 0.67 times $2592 = $1736.64
Dealer Reimbursement = $1814.76 - $1736.64 = $78.12

claims that are submitted via the Caterpillar Service Claim System (per product family instructions included in this
bulletin).
• The dealer must document the sale/delivery of the Cat Expanded Mining Products through Caterpillar’s SCORE
system or SIMSi under the cross-reference serial number. This is a requirement to enable system transitions at a
later date.
• Enter the Cat part number (PN) that caused the failure, when available.
• If the part number that caused the failure is not a Cat part number, use a substitute part number that best
represents the part causing failure.
• For service letter:
• Issued via the legacy Bucyrus process, enter the substitute part number that best represents the part
causing failure.
• Issued via Caterpillar process, enter the PI or PS program number.
Group Causing Failure:
• Enter the Cat group number for the part causing failure, when available.
• If the group number is not a Cat group number, use a SMCS code that best represents the group causing failure.
Related Equipment Fields – The following require the use of such fields:
• Component Serial Number
• Repair or Replacement of Hydraulic Components (Pumps, Motors, Control Valves).
• Enter component serial number in the following examples:
• If component has an attached serial number tag;
• If component is the part causing failure;
• If the most economical solution is to repair and the part causing failure is the service part;
• If the component was replaced as resultant damage.
• OEM/Make
• For other manufacturer’s product, enter NONE.
• For Caterpillar product, enter CAT.
• Cab Type – Enter NO for all products.
Product SMU (H/M/K)
• Enter the machine hours.
• For products with no hour meters, enter a number greater than number in previous repair.
Comments/Findings - When using a substitute part number, enter the legacy Bucyrus part number causing failure as
follows “BU_ Legacy Bucyrus PN” (Example: BU_ 400879).
Parts Expenses Detail:
• Warranty repairs may contain a mix of Cat and legacy Bucyrus part numbers. To claim expenses when Cat part
numbers are not available use a “parts summary expense line” OR “miscellaneous expense” to combine on a
single expense line of all of the legacy Bucyrus parts.
• Part summary line and miscellaneous expense “Total” field has an 8 positions limit (999999.99) and the “Rate”
field has a 7 position limit (99999.99). The part summary lines can be repeated, as needed, up to 9 times and
miscellaneous expense lines can be repeated, as needed, up to 48 times to achieve the total claim
amount. Take into consideration parts uplift and currency exchange to determine the part summary line
and miscellaneous expense amount.
• Cat part numbers:
• When Cat part numbers are available, claim the Cat PN on detail line.
• Legacy Bucyrus part numbers
• Parts summary expense lines:
• Part uplifts (including T&I) are applied to part summary expense lines. Do NOT submit a separate
expense for parts uplifts when utilizing the part summary expense line.

• Intended and licensed for on-highway use, are reimbursable if less expensive than towing to an authorized
Caterpillar repair facility or if necessary to perform repairs at an OEM factory.
Towing charges for disabled on-highway vehicles may be reimbursable when both conditions apply:
• If the failure disabled the engine/transmission or further operation would cause more serious damage, and
If the towing charges are customary for the distance from disablement to the nearest authorized Caterpillar
dealer.
NOTE: Please be certain travel is the most economical method and the vehicle can be made operational without
towing, as warranty does not cover both travel and towing.
Freight Charges
2 03.01-41 (11/19)
Caterpillar: Confidential Green Bulletin No. 3.01
Americas South and EAME - Inbound surface or airfreight charges for emergency parts shipments from a
Caterpillar Parts Distribution Center to the dealer are reimbursable.
Americas North (Engines) and APD - Inbound surface or airfreight charges for emergency parts shipments from
a source distribution center other than the dealer’s assigned Parts Distribution Center are reimbursable. Freight
charges from the dealer’s assigned Parts Distribution Center are the responsibility of the dealer.
TEPS - The same criteria for premium freight reimbursement applies for all TEPS dealers. Due to the difficulty of a
TEPS dealer knowing the shipping information for freight expenses, Caterpillar dealers should only invoice TEPS
dealers for premium freight expenses when the parts needed to expedite a warranty repair were not available from
the Caterpillar dealer or the Caterpillar dealer’s primary servicing Parts Distribution Center.
➤ Pre-Delivery Repairs
Caterpillar requests dealers to provide a final check-up and make any minor adjustments required prior to delivery
of the equipment to the customer. Normally these check-ups and adjustments include checks for proper equipment
operation, completeness, fluid levels, literature, etc., and are considered as standard dealer new equipment
preparations and are not reimbursable. Flashing software during pre-delivery inspection in the absence of product
defect or failure is not reimbursable.
If defects are encountered that cannot be classified as normal pre-delivery inspection, but correspond to a repair,
dealers are requested to complete such repairs under warranty. Since the equipment has not been sold, Caterpillar
accepts pre-delivery claims, including the labor required for repairs during new equipment preparations.
• Pre-delivery repair labor is only allowed when performed out of customer’s sight (if possible) and prior to the
customer’s knowledge of the defect.
• Each incident must be reported on a separate claim and a corresponding SIMS report must be submitted
prior to claim submission.
• Applicable TRG labor must be claimed and any overage explained in the claim story.
• To qualify as pre-delivery repair, the unit must not exceed SMU limits outlined in Bulletin 1.12.
The following delivery date field information applies for pre-delivery repairs:
• Enter 00NIS00 if the unit is in dealer inventory
• Enter 00IFI00 if the unit is in OEM Factory inventory
Paint Repairs
Paint and other painting materials may be reimbursable due to a Caterpillar defect in material and/or workmanship
in the paint such as inadequate paint coverage or improper adhesion at the factory. After 250 hours of operation or
6 months after shipment, paint issues due to a Caterpillar defect in material and/or workmanship require approval
from a Caterpillar representative prior to the repair. Paint issues due to storage, handling, modifications, addition
of attachments, damage during shipment, or to achieve a desired showroom finish are not reimbursable.
The following claim field information is required for paint repairs:
• Part Number – Enter SP0587

Bulletin No. 3.03 Caterpillar: Confidential Green
Caterpillar may elect to not participate in a repair during the extended warranty period, if one of the above specified parts/
components fails due to lack of required user maintenance or use of improper fuel, oil, lubricant and/or coolant.
Salvage labor (such as cutting, welding, polishing, boring and milling) associated with the salvage of the warranted parts
under extended warranty is reimbursable when the salvage cost is less than the replacement cost of the part.
(1) Remanufactured Engines except 3208 have an extended warranty period of 36 months, 300,000 miles (482,803 km) or
10,000 operating hours, whichever occurs first after date of delivery to the first user.
(2) Remanufactured 3208 On-Highway Vehicle Engines have an extended warranty period of 36 months, 300,000 miles
(486,000 km) or 3,600 hours, whichever occurs first after date of delivery to the first user.
(3) Extended warranty for the cylinder block casting does not cover block wear that requires counter-boring cylinders for
inserts.
When the cylinder block is damaged beyond repair under extended warranty, a remanufactured short block may be used to
satisfy extended warranty. In such cases, Caterpillar approval is required prior to starting the repair. Please contact your
Cat® distributor.
(4) Extended warranty for the crankshaft does not cover rod or main bearings, since bearings are not considered part of a
crankshaft.
(5) Extended warranty for connecting rods covers only a failure of the rod forging and does not cover failures of a rod bolt,
pin bore bushing or a rod bearing. Any warrantable replacement of a damaged or failed connecting rod under extended
warranty will be with a connecting rod assembly, excluding the rod bearing.

Engines
Truck engines (as identified by the truck engine serial number prefix) are subject to the “Engines Used to Power
On-Highway Vehicles” warranty and applicable policies under each of the following conditions:
• When used to power on-highway vehicles (whether or not the vehicles are actually used on-highway).
• When used to power other vehicles capable of being licensed for on-highway use. Example: Railway and
truck terminal yarders.
• When mounted on on-highway vehicles but used to power other devices such as drill rigs and cranes.
Truck engines used in applications not meeting the above criteria are considered industrial applications. Refer
to the appropriate warranty statement for that specific engine application.
It is important that special care be used in determining which warranty applies. The customer should be
given the correct warranty at time of sale to avoid any misunderstanding of coverage. For example, there is a
difference in coverage such as travel and labor reimbursement, etc.
The type of warranty applicable to an engine is also determined by the engine application recorded in the sales
record.
For example, if Caterpillar sells the engine directly to the on-highway vehicle manufacturer, Market Code D10
(truck, except off-highway) is recorded.
In the case of sale by the Dealer, the Dealer should enter the correct information on the Engine Sales Record.

Engine
Caterpillar and/or Dealer participation in costs for investigating low engine horsepower and/or high fuel
consumption complaints is subject to the terms of the warranty. For Caterpillar to approve repairs, it must
be established and documented that a Caterpillar warrantable defect caused improper performance or a
malfunction.
For performance diagnostic information on 3300/3400 on-highway engines, Dealers should refer to the
Truck Performance Diagnostic Guide, Form SEBD0808. In addition, diagnostic information involving either
electronic or mechanical engine control systems is included in many of the Service Manuals for on-highway
vehicle engines. For diagnostic information on the Caterpillar CT11 and CT13 engines Dealers should refer to
Performance Diagnostics VENR1849.
Caterpillar will not approve unnecessary or unsupported fuel system adjustments. Guidelines for performance
repairs are as follows:
Making non-factory-approved setting changes on certified engines may be in violation of Regulatory Agency
law, could carry a civil penalty and would not be claimable. Such changes may lead to engine performance
complaints that are not covered by warranty. Changing fuel settings found to be within specification is not a
reimbursable repair.
Dealer and Dealers are defined as any Cat Authorized Dealer or Cat Authorized Repair Representative.

Bulletin No. 3.17 Caterpillar: Confidential Green
On all product where it was necessary to check fuel/governor settings, the following table must be included in
the Warranty Claim Story to prevent overlooking any settings that could affect performance. Failure to provide
this information will lead to a delay in processing and may cause non-allowance of associated Warranty Claims.
Refer to the Engine Information Plate/Ultraplate Film and record the correct specifications in the table. The
Engine Information Plate/Ultraplate Film is the most accurate source of this data and must be used as long as
the engine is in its original factory configuration.

Bulletin No. 3.18 Caterpillar: Confidential Green
Another example: A fleet of 3208 units used as city pickup and delivery tractors are shown within the
investigative range at approximately 35 gallons of fuel per quart of oil (140 liters fuel per liter oil) and all
units have approximately 20,000 miles (32,000 km). One other unit, however, is at 18 gallons of fuel per
quart of oil (72 liters fuel per liter oil). This one unit would be the only one requiring an investigation and
repair.
4. If an engine experiences a high deterioration rate, it may require a defect investigation and repair. To
determine deterioration, it is necessary to check oil consumption for at least two consecutive regular
oil change periods. Using the Oil Consumption Test Report, compare the oil consumption data to the
investigation number for the engine in the Oil Consumption Chart. If oil consumption is consistently above
the investigative number it should be repaired. OR, if the oil consumption is consistently trending upwards
for two consecutive oil change periods or more, then the engine should be repaired before oil consumption
falls into the investigative range.
5. Low engine operating temperature can contribute to excessive oil consumption.
6. Blow-by (oil slobber) alone is not enough to justify a warranty claim.
7. Oil consumption repairs should be made only after an engine is confirmed to have an oil consumption
problem. These repairs should be made in accordance with the latest published information on oil
consumption.
Note: Refer to Bulletin 6.01 for Vocational On-Highway Truck Excessive Oil Consumption

As of September 4, 2015, contents of this document were moved
to Bulletin 1.29.
Overview
The Electronic Control Module (ECM) is often reported as a cause of failure, when the repair simply involved the
flashing of new software. Therefore, this bulletin provides references for required troubleshooting procedures
and details the claiming practices necessary for ECM replacements and flash-file changes for all Caterpillar®
products.
Claiming Practices
If an Electronic Control Module (ECM) was not replaced during a repair, the ECM part number cannot be
used as the part causing failure on a claim. Claims involving re-flashing should use the flash-file part number
as part causing failure and the group number listed on the chart. Use the chart on page 2 when claiming for
failures on an engine, powertrain, implement, monitoring system electronic control module, flash-file, or when
making flash-file changes.

If it is determined that the ECM is the part causing failure, report the part number that is on the failed ECM serial
number plate. In some cases, a new part may have been substituted to fill a remanufactured order. Using the
part number that is on the failed ECM serial number plate will assure that ECM reliability data is accurate.
Dealers should summarize their troubleshooting procedure in the claim story and include the following
information:
• SIS Literature Number used
• ECM harness part number used
• Active codes and results of troubleshooting steps
• DSN Service Request number or ECM Hotline contact name and date, if applicable
Note: When re-flashing software, SP0775 substitute part number will no longer be allowed as part causing
failure. Dealers should use the old software part number as the part causing failure. Do not use the new
software part number as part causing failure.
Note: All claims should use the Cat® Group Number in the claim (i.e. xxx-xxxx), not an SMCS Code.

8. When the component arrives in the US or China, the engineer must complete the paper CCR as received
and disposition it. Engineer will keep the green copy of CCR and return the white copy of CCR to the attention
of Core Services Supervisor in (US) Corinth, MS or (China) Reman Shanghai. The physical core is then
returned to the Reman Core processing facility (Corinth or Shanghai) for final disposition to scrap, salvage, or
forward for outbound export shipment to Corinth or local Reman Shanghai plant for use, as appropriate.
8A. When the component arrives at the regional destination, the engineer performs the failure analysis. After
the analysis is complete, the part will be returned with the paper CCR to the regional inspection facility. If the
part is destroyed during testing, the engineer must return the paper CCR with the word “scrap” marked on
the paper CCR to the Attention of the regional inspection facility handling the failed part.
➤ This procedure applies to dealers that are assigned a stocking facility located in the
United States and assures for proper core payment to dealer.
1. Caterpillar Engineer issues PRR to dealer via Send It Back at https://senditback.cat.com/.
2. Dealer to issue CCR in their dealer business system, indicates that the core is a PRR, and transmits to CMIS
2 or directly enters the CCR in CMIS 2 as appropriate.
3. Any dealer outside of continental USA returning engine long or short block cores directly to the United States
(via Canada) to US Caterpillar facility must complete EPA form.
4. Dealer physically tags the PRR core with a blue Warranty Tag (Order # 01-003883-14 (4804) - refer to link
on page 2 to order) and ships failed core with blue Warranty Tag to final destination shown on PRR request.
5. After analysis, the physical core is then returned to the Corinth Core processing facility for final disposition to
scrap or salvage as appropriate.
If the PRR involves the return of an Engine Core, Short Block, or Long Block, use the following procedure
(also refer to Reman website for policy SELD0039 Shipping Instructions regarding ENGINE CORE
RETURN PROCESSING AND SHIPPING INSTRUCTIONS EPA FORM 3520-21 AND EMISSION CONTROL
INFORMATION LABEL.)
Dealer Instructions for Shipping Engine Cores, Short Block, or Long Block
These instructions are for all dealers shipping engine cores to any Caterpillar facility.
1. All dealers to perform normal CCR instructions assign case and create a shipment in (Core Management
Information System) CMIS 2. The returning engine core serial number must be on the CCR for all engines.
This applies to all dealers worldwide. If the serial number for the returning engine core is not on the block, use
the original engine serial number in the machine.
2. U.S. dealers within the 48 contiguous states are excluded from the Emission Control Information Label and the
EPA form 3520-21 requirement and, at this time, creating a shipment within CMIS 2. However, the returning
engine core serial number must be on the CCR.
3. For all engine, long and short block returns, dealers/subsidiaries must complete the following;
• Engines will require an Emission Control Information Label which will contain the failed engine serial
number and CCR number, this label MUST be affixed to the engine prior to shipping. Caterpillar will supply
the labels to the dealers/subsidiaries for all engine cores that are imported directly into the U.S. Contact the
Corinth Core Services Group mentioned below for labels.
• Engine, long and short blocks will also require an EPA Form 3520-21. Dealers/subsidiaries must not ship
any engine, long or short block until an email is received from the Corinth Core Services Group with a
completed EPA Form 3520-21. This form must accompany all other documents which go to the forwarders
for shipment. We expect each dealer/subsidiary to submit a request for the EPA Form 3520-21 to Caitlin
Moon (Moon_Caitlin@cat.com) for Canada, and all international subsidiary locations. Contact Andrew
Turcu (Turcu_Andrew@cat.com) for all EPA forms for Mexico, South America and the Caribbean. The
email requests must include the CCR number, case number, part number being returned, and failed serial
number for engines or repaired serial number for long and short blocks.
4. Dealers making shipments directly to a non U.S. Core Inspection Facility are not required to affix the label on
the returning engine core. This will be done at their assigned Core Inspection Facility since they will prepare the
appropriate documents for importation into the U.S. (See illustration #2, for the Emission Control Information
label). These labels will be tracked by engine serial number and CCR processed by each dealer and inspection
facility. These labels must not be used for any other purpose or affixed to any other Reman core.
Illustration #2
Advanced Core Credit for Part Return Requests Involving Core Returns
Only Americas North and South dealers (excluding Brazil) and Mexican dealers not facing San Luis Distribution
Center qualify to receive an advance core credit for all PRRs when they follow the prescribed PRR procedures
as stated above. Other dealers do not qualify for this program since there are special core buyback programs for
local regulations that restrict using this practice.

Dealers will add the PRR number in the Shipping Document (Proforma Invoice). If the PRR number is not associated
with the customs (Proforma) invoice, then the freight forwarder will not accept the shipment. Use the PRR number as
the Customs Invoice Number in the shipping document.
An example of a Proforma Invoice may be found below.
Example of Proforma Invoice
When returning a failed part, Country of Origin (COO) must be identified. The COO should be indelibly marked on the
part. Depending on the condition of the failed part, it may be necessary to use a bright light to locate COO.
If the COO for the part is not stamped on the part, or designated on the outer most container (box) then use Country
of Harvest.
Example: When a dealer removes a failed part from a machine or higher assembly and the COO cannot be
identified then, the Country of Origin becomes the Country where the part was removed from said machine or
higher assembly
For instance, if a piston fails in an engine located in Japan, and is requested back for failure analysis, and the failed piston
does not have the Country of Origin (COO) indelibly marked on the piston then the Country of Harvest would be Japan.

Freight Claims
Dealers in Americas North
Parts shipments are scheduled by Caterpillar and prepaid so dealers will not be reimbursed for the cost of freight to
return parts. Internal dealer parts handling costs will not be reimbursed. Claims related to PRR incidents can be subject
to reprocessing at any time. Caterpillar retains the option of debiting the dealer for credit previously extended, if the
analysis of the returned parts justifies it, or if parts regarding a specific Warranty Claim were not returned.

Caterpillar: Confidential Green Bulletin No. 4.02
Six different situations may exist when claiming for Parts Return Request freight charges:
1. The PRR freight charges are known prior to the submission of related incident claim.
Include all claimable freight charges on the related Incident Claim under Miscellaneous expenses with the usual

charges with the usual required explanation and documentation. Do not include any previously listed item. Submit the
Additional Information Claim only after the receipt of the related Incident Claim Settlement Notice.
3. The PRR is not related to any claimable incident, but probably linked to a SIMS report.
Submit a standard Claim with the standard heading including all information as if it was the related Incident Claim,
but use a Part Description (PD) code of 56. Indicate in the Claim Comments Field the characters “PRR” followed
by the request number. List under Miscellaneous expenses, all claimable freight charges with the usual required
explanation and documentation.
4. The PRR concerns Parts Stock items for which a Parts Stock Claim has not yet been submitted.

Warranty Parts Handling
➤ NOTE: This revision of the bulletin details changes to the parts retention policy for Second Level Dealers as well as information
for the implementation of the Send It Back (SIB) system in place of WPRI. Beginning January 1, 2019, the updated retention
policy takes effect and the WPRI system will be retired.
➤ Overview
This bulletin provides Second Level Dealers (SLD) with guidelines for handling failed part return requests from
Caterpillar. Return only those parts which are requested by a specific Parts Return Request (PRR), an Information
Request through the Send It Back (SIB) system, or as specified by a Service Letter.
Parts removed during warranty repairs, as well as defective parts from stock, may be required for support of
Warranty Claims, to provide engineering information, or for supplier warranty recovery.
➤ Mark & Identify Warranty Parts
Clearly mark all defects such as cracks, sand holes, porous castings, defective welds, and brazes, etc. Felt
marking pens, metal dye or fluorescent paint from a spray can are excellent ways to mark the material. The
identifying mark should encircle the defect, rather than cover or fill it.
Parts not properly identified can result in parts being scrapped and/or claim credit being denied.
Use Caterpillar warranty tags to identify parts that are held for a warranty claim. Warranty tags are available for
order through the Caterpillar dealer: order # 01-003883-14 (404)

Parts Return Request (PRR) Notification: Send It Back (SIB)
Caterpillar will scan service claims promptly after receipt for compliance with basic and special requirements, and
to determine if Caterpillar will require parts to be returned, or if additional Information is needed. When removed
warranty claim failed parts are requested for return, or additional information, the dealer will be notified through
SIB.
PRRs will be generated daily and added to the Send It Back website at https://senditback.cat.com/, Second Level
Dealer. Dealers should check SIB regularly for new parts and information return requests. SIB is the required
method of communicating parts and information requests
For parts being returned in response to a Service Engineer’s request, dealers should include a print out of the
Requestor Information screen, and indicate if a service claim is to be submitted. The opportunity for a duplicate
request when/if a warranty claim is submitted will be minimized when the service engineer uses the SIB system.
➤ Retention Schedule
Warranty Parts Without Core Value
The following is the time schedule that dealers must retain (hold) removed warranty claim parts for possible
shipment to Caterpillar.
Product Improvement Program (PIP) and/or Product Support Program (PSP) claim parts that are replaced do not
have to be held by dealers, unless the specific Service Letter indicates that they are to be retained. These parts
should be rendered useless and scrapped at the completion of the repair.
All warranty claim parts must be held in storage for 30 days after the claim receive date. If a PRR is issued in SIB
for a warranty claim part within the 30 day period, the dealer is to process the PRR request and return the warranty
claim part. Do not wait the full 30 days before returning the warranty claim part for analysis.
Do not wait 15 days before returning the warranty claim part for analysis.
NOTICE
When service claims are canceled/denied and then resubmitted, the hold period for any removed warranty
claim parts starts over.
For dealers who use Claimsi, the Claim Register/Received date can be obtained by viewing on-line the individual
warranty claim itself.
If a warranty claim involving saved warranty claim parts is canceled and later resubmitted, dealers should adjust
their files to indicate the resubmission date. Parts must be held for an additional 15 days or 30 days, whichever
applies, from the resubmission date of the claim.
Saved warranty claim parts that are not requested by Caterpillar for return and not involved in core credit must be
rendered useless and should be scrapped after the 30 day retention period has lapsed.
Note: Dealers should comply with local laws and regulations for scrapping and disposal of any hazardous material.
Your Caterpillar distributor may supply you with specific guidelines for handling Second Level Dealer warranty
claim parts.
A warranty claim will not be denied for unreturned parts if parts were not requested within the published retention
period. It is our responsibility at Caterpillar to ensure that we request parts within those time periods. For contested
supplemental claims (description code 98) parts will not be requested since in most cases the original hold period
has expired. However, on additional supplemental claims (description code 20) previously unclaimed parts may
be requested for return.

Batteries
➤ Overview
This bulletin provides the warranty period and reimbursement terms for Cat® brand batteries. The Caterpillar
Battery Warranty Statement applies to batteries that are original equipment therefore part of a Cat prime product,
other manufacturer’s product, or customer purchased as replacement.
NOTE: Excludes Yellowmark™, A Caterpillar Brand batteries.
Warranty Period
The warranty period is determined by the battery type and application per the Caterpillar Battery Warranty
Statement found at https://warranty.cat.com/currstmts and begins on the sale date or the documented in-service
date. If applicable, the total battery warranty period is divided into a “replacement-free” warranty period, followed
by a “prorated” warranty period for customer participation.
Replacement-free period - If a defect occurs within this period, the battery will be replaced with a new battery
free-of-charge to the customer. Batteries replaced during this period are warranted for the remainder of warranty
of the original (defective) battery.
Proration period - Once the “replacement free” warranty period expires, the “proration” warranty period begins, if
applicable. If a customer participates in any portion of the cost of a replacement battery, the replacement battery
has its own warranty as if originally purchased. The cost charged to the customer for replacement of the defective
battery should be calculated using the formula in the Caterpillar Battery Warranty Statement.
Dealer Reimbursement
Warranty claims should not be submitted to Caterpillar for defective in-service or installed batteries. Instead,
Caterpillar automatically reimburses dealers for battery warranty expenses by issuing quarterly warranty credit
claims. The allowance provided in the claim is 3% of the total dealer net (D/N) value of all batteries ordered by the
dealer during the previous quarter. This credit is issued to cover expenses (parts, labor, etc.) for all in-service or
installed batteries, including prime product inventory.
No action is needed to generate the Quarterly Battery Settlement Notice, as this is an automatic Caterpillar
process. The dealer claim number on such notices begins with the letters “BATT.”
EXCEPTION: If the battery warranty costs for a given year exceed the 3% allowance and can be adequately
substantiated, contact the Warranty Service Desk.
Dealer and Dealers are defined as any Cat Authorized Dealer or Cat Authorized Repair Representative.

Non-Warrantable Failures
The following causes of battery failure are not reimbursable under warranty:
Batteries that have exploded are not considered to be a defect in material or workmanship. Explosions
typically result from a spark or fire caused by a loose connection between a post and a cable. Therefore the
battery was not the cause of failure.
Cracked battery that has been in-service more than 30 days.
Discharge of an in-service battery does not establish the presence of a defect.
Failures that result from installations with mixed battery types, Maintenance Free Battery (no access to
electrolyte) and Low Maintenance or Conventional battery (with access to electrolyte). In such an installation,
neither will charge properly and will fail.

Dealer Reimbursement
Definitions of Replace vs. Repair:
• Replace: Installing a new link assembly, track group, track roller group, carrier roller group, sprocket,
shoe, idler, and/or track shoe or sprocket hardware.
• Repair: Replacing individual components to reuse an assembly, including links, bushings, pins, seals,
thrust rings, roller shells, idler shells, and/or shafts.
• The maximum amount of Caterpillar’s reimbursement to the dealer is determined by the least costly
method.
• Any link assembly with 80% or greater link wear must be replaced and not repaired.
• Refer to Table 2 for coverage details.
Component Proration - Is intended for the dealer to credit the customer’s account for unused life on link
assemblies, track rollers, carrier rollers or idlers that are replaced rather than repaired. The following formula
calculates the parts price that is claimed to Caterpillar:
• Caterpillar reimbursement to dealer = D/N Price - (% Worn x (Markup))
*Markup represents D/N x 1.36
For undercarriage where the expectation is to turn bushings, the proration of the link assembly is based on the
track link percent worn.
For undercarriage where the expectation is NOT to turn bushings, but to replace the undercarriage when the bushings
are worn out, the proration of the link assembly is based on the most worn component (bushing or track link).
For track rollers, carrier rollers, or idlers, proration is based off the % worn of the component being replaced.
Example 1: D6T not at bushing turn time has 2500 hours and link wear is 30%. 3 joints are dry. Dealer Net Price
of link assembly is $4000.
• Calculate the cost for replacement versus repair
• Replace: Dealer Reimbursement = $4000 - (30% x (1.36 x $4000)) = $2368
• Repair: Dealer Net Price of repair parts plus D&A labor = $1000.
• Repair is the least costly method.
• Maximum amount of Caterpillar’s reimbursement to dealer = $1000
Example 2: D6T not at bushing turn time has 2500 hours and link wear is 30%. 30 joints are dry. Links are
damaged and cannot be reused. Dealer Net Price of link assembly is $4000.

• For SystemOne products enrolled prior to 01Nov14:
• Caterpillar reimbursement to dealer = D/N Price - (%Worn x (Markup))
• For SystemOne products enrolled on/after 01Nov14:
• Caterpillar reimbursement to dealer = D/N Price - (Proration % x (Markup))
*Markup represents D/N x 1.36
• The % Worn and Proation is based on the most worn component (brushing or track link)
2 05.02-17 (09/19)
Caterpillar: Confidential Green Bulletin No. 5.02
• SystemOne products enrolled on/after 01Nov14 will use Table 1 to calculate the Proration %. This is based
upon % Wear and Part Hours.
Example 1: D6T has 2500 hours and link wear is 30%. 2 joints are dry. Undercarriage was enrolled prior to
01Nov14. Dealer Net Price of link assembly is $5000.
• Calculate the cost for replacement versus repair
• Replace: Dealer Reimbursement = $5000 - (30% x (1.36 x $5000)) = $2960
• Repair: Dealer Net Price of repair parts plus D&A labor = $2500.
• Repair is the least costly method.
• Maximum amount of Caterpillar’s reimbursement to dealer = $2500
• The decision to repair or replace in this situation should be discussed between the dealer and
the customer to determine the best overall value for the customer.
Example 2: D6T has 2500 hours and link wear is 30%. 30 joints are dry. Undercarriage was enrolled after
01Nov14. Dealer Net Price of link assembly is $5000.
• Calculate the cost for replacement versus repair
• Replace: Dealer Reimbursement = $5000 - (40% x (1.36 x $5000)) = $2280
• Repair: Dealer Net Price of repair parts plus D&A labor = $9000
• Replace is the least costly method
• Maximum amount of Caterpillar’s reimbursement to dealer = $2280
*NOTE: Failures during the New Machine Warranty or New Parts Warranty periods must be filed against these
warranty programs, not against Undercarriage Assurance.
If there is an undercarriage Product Support Program (PSP) in effect that covers the component failure, dealers
must claim under the PSP.
Undercarriage Assurance applies when all other available coverages have expired.

Dealer Reimbursement
Machines Sold After 01Mar10
Component failures must be filed against the New Machine Warranty, the New Parts Warranty or the
Undercarriage Assurance Leakage and Breakage Program; only short wear out parts are claimed under the
Wear Life Coverage Program.
Defining the End of Usable Life for SystemOne Undercarriage:
For the link assembly and track rollers, the End of Usable Life is when the Link-Roller System reaches
120% worn
• This is calculated by the CTS computer program, but can also be determined manually for each side
with the formula [(Link percent worn + Worst Track Roller percent worn)/2]
For the idler, the End of Usable Life is when it reaches 100% wear determined by CTS measurements
If a covered component reaches the end of its usable wear life before the end of the coverage period, Caterpillar
will share 50% of the proration with the dealer at Consumer List according to the following formula:
Caterpillar participation = [Markup - (Markup x Actual Life /Assurance Life)] x 0.5
*Markup represents D/N x 1.36
Example: The Link-Roller System reached 120% worn at 5,400 hours. Consumer List price for the link
assemblies and track rollers is $10,000. Assurance Hours are 6,000.
[$10,000 - $10,000 x (5,400/6,000)] x 0.5
[$10,000 - ($10,000 x 0.9)] x 0.5
[$10,000 - ($9,000)] x 0.5
[$1,000] x 0.5
$500 is the Caterpillar reimbursement

PM Inspection
The Electric Power Division is providing (4) PM Inspections within the first 24 months of delivery on each C175
package generator set sold into Electric Power applications. Caterpillar suggests the dealer perform the first PM
Inspection within the first 6 months of delivery and 6 months thereafter. However, the PM Inspections can be
performed at the dealer’s discretion anytime within the first 24 months of delivery.
The PM Inspections are intended to allow your dealership an opportunity to educate your customer on the
importance of preventive maintenance, the benefits of your dealer services and expertise, and the opportunity to
up-sell your service offerings to either a Preventive Maintenance or Total Maintenance & Repair CSA during the
PM Inspection period.
Reimbursable Expenses
Reimbursement includes: (1) Caterpillar Scheduled Oil Sampling (S·O·SSM ) engine oil analysis, 2 standard labor
hours, reasonable and actual travel time (up to 4 hours) and round trip mileage expenses (up to 160 miles) from
your dealership to the customer’s job site per each PM Inspection performed.
Note: Other than the Caterpillar S·O·S engine oil analysis, no additional parts or fluids expenses will be
reimbursable. Additional parts, fluids, required travel time and/or related expenses are the sole responsibility of
the customer or dealership.

Undercarriage Assurance
“General Duty”
Effective for Undercarriage sales on/before 31DEC2018
Overview
Undercarriage Assurance General Duty Program support, is a leakage and breakage program developed by
Caterpillar for specific undercarriage components on certain track-type machines with steel track. The program is
primarily designed to assure users of structural integrity and seal ability.
The program is used by dealers, when necessary, to obtain new machine or parts sales by offering product
support enhancements. This additional product support offering goes beyond the standard new machine or parts
warranties. The cost of the offering is shared between Caterpillar and the dealer.
Coverage Details
This coverage begins at the same time as the standard new machine or new parts warranty term and terminates
in 4 years or 3,000 hours or 100% wear, whichever occurs first.
Dealer and Dealers are defined as any Cat Authorized Dealer or Cat Authorized Repair Representative.

Bulletin No. 5.05 Caterpillar: Confidential Green
Enrollment Qualifications
• Undercarriage can be enrolled without prior Caterpillar approval
• Effective with machine or parts sales on or after January 1, 2018, machines must be enrolled into either CTSi
or Cat Wear Management System® with CTS Pro to be qualified for Undercarriage Assurance.
• Enrollment must be completed prior to repairs.
• The machine must have a functioning hour meter
• The minimum purchase for a machine is at least one link assembly, or all track rollers on one track roller
frame, or all idlers on one track roller frame
Exception: If a component is replaced within the Undercarriage Assurance coverage period AND the customer pays
a proration amount of 25% or more of the component markup, then the Undercarriage Assurance coverage period
starts over for that component. The New Parts Warranty does not apply to components replaced under this exception.
• Link assemblies and track groups must be installed on the machine prior to the link assembly or track group
install-by date. The install-by date can be found on the parts label attached to the link assembly or track
group. If the parts label is missing or damaged, the install-by date is four years past the assembly date. The
assembly date can be identified through IRM UC03-04 (PELJ0151).

Caterpillar: Confidential Green Bulletin No. 5.05
Documentation/Enrollment
• For every Undercarriage Assurance Program enrollment, dealers must keep on file the following
documentation:
• The completed agreement between the dealer and the customer - enrollment to Caterpillar is not required
• Undercarriage Assurance Enrollment Certificates - they are located in the Sales Library
• General Duty - PEEP9277
• Customer invoice of original machine or replacement parts sale
• Custom Track Service (CTS) report at the time of breakage or leakage
• Customer credit invoices
• Recommended practice - Dealers should submit informational SIMSi entry indicating date of enrollment.
Dealer Reimbursement
Definitions of Replace vs. Repair:
• Replace: Installing a new link assembly, track group, track roller group, carrier roller group, sprocket,
shoe, idler, and/or track shoe or sprocket hardware
• Repair: Replacing individual components to reuse an assembly, including links, bushings, pins, seals,
and thrust rings
• The maximum amount of Caterpillar’s reimbursement to the dealer is determined by the least costly
method.
• Any link assembly with 80% or greater link wear must be replaced and not repaired.
Component proration - is intended for the dealer to credit the customer’s account for unused life on link
assemblies, track rollers, carrier rollers or idlers that are replaced rather than repaired. The following formulas
calculate the parts price that is claimed to Caterpillar:
• Caterpillar reimbursement to dealer = [D/N Price - (Proration % x (Markup))]*
*Markup represents D/N x 1.36
*Reimbursement is reduced by 35% if machine is equipped with wide shoes - this includes shoes that
are 28” or wider for TTT, and 710 mm or wider for Hex
Note: For undercarriage where the expectation is to turn bushings, the proration of the link assembly is based
on the track link percent worn.
For undercarriage where the expectation is NOT to turn bushings, but to replace the undercarriage when the
bushings are worn out, the proration of the link assembly is based on the most worn component (bushing or
track link).
For track rollers, carrier rollers, or idlers, proration is based off the % worn of the component being replaced.
Dry joint repair or track replacement after bushing turn is not covered.
*NOTE: Failures during the New Machine Warranty or New Parts Warranty periods must be filed against these
warranty programs, not against Undercarriage Assurance. If there is an undercarriage Product Support Program
(PSP) in effect that covers the component failure, dealers must claim under the PSP.
Undercarriage Assurance applies when all other available coverages have expired.

➤ Enrollment Qualifications
• The 125 - inch cast crawler shoes can be enrolled without prior Caterpillar approval.
• All new undercarriage components must be installed as a system, including the shoes, connecting
pins, idlers and support shafts, lower rollers and support shafts, tumblers, and top support plates for
the track.
• The machine must have a functioning hour meter.
• The machine must have a functioning hour meter installed for the machine propel system.
• Effective with machine or parts sales on or after January 1, 2019, machines must be enrolled into Cat
Wear Management System® with CTS Pro to be qualified for Undercarriage Assurance
• Enrollment must be completed prior to repairs being performed.
• CTS inspections must be completed every 6 months and recorded in CTS Pro. Maintenance activities
must be performed as a result of the inspections to maximize component life
Documentation/Enrollment
For every 7495HF Electric Rope Shovel Cast Crawler Shoe Assurance Program enrollment, dealers must keep
on file the following documentation:
• The completed agreement between the dealer and the customer – enrollment to Caterpillar is not
required
• 7495HF Electric Rope Shovel Cast Crawler Shoe Assurance Enrollment Certificates located in the
Caterpillar Media Information Center
• 125 - inch cast crawler shoe – PEDJ0153
Adjustment for machine travel: Machine movement or propelling negatively affects crawler track life. The travel
adjustment is based on the propel hours from the date of shoe installation as a percent of the part hours. If the
machine propel hours from the date of shoe installation, exceeds 5% of the part hours, a travel adjustment is
applied before the prorated dealer reimbursement formula is calculated.
The travel adjustment calculation yields an hour value (if any), which is then added to the part hours in Table 1.
The travel hour adjustment is shown in Table 2.
Table 2
Propel hours from the date of shoe installation
Travel Adjustment
as a percent of the part hours
5.1% to 6.0% 4,000 hours
6.1% to 7.0% 8,000 hours
7.1% to 8.0% 12,000 hours
8.1% and up 24,001 hours - exceeds program limits
Travel Adjustment Calculation Example:
A failure occurs with 17,000 hours accumulated on the cast crawler shoes that are 3 years old. The propel hours
from the date of installation is 1,000. Therefore the propel hours from the date of installation as a percent of the
part hours is 5.9% (1,000/17,000). From this information, Table 2 shows a travel adjustment of 4,000 hours. This
travel adjustment is added to the accumulated hours on the cast crawler shoes for a total of 21,000 hours (17,000
parts hours plus 4,000 adjustment hours). Applying this to Table 1, the proration factor is 80%.
Proration is determined by the part or propel hours, whichever would have a higher proration percentage factor.
Example 1 - A failure occurs with 12,500 hours accumulated on the cast crawler shoes that are 3 years old and
has 555 propel hours. Proration would be 20% as the Part hours results in the higher proration percentage factor.
Example 2 - A failure occurs with 12,500 hours accumulated on the cast crawler shoes that are 3 years old and
has 785 propel hours. Proration would be 40% as the propel hours results in the higher proration percentage factor.

➤ Dealer Reimbursement
Failures during the standard machine warranty or new parts warranty periods must be filed against these warranty
programs, not against the 7495HR or 7495HD Electric Rope Shovel Cast Crawler Shoe Assurance Program.
If there is an undercarriage Product Support Program (PSP) in effect that covers the component failure, dealers
must claim under the PSP.
Cast crawler shoe proration – The prorated 7495HR or 7495HD Electric Rope Shovel Cast Crawler Shoe
Assurance coverage is intended to credit the customer’s account towards the purchase of cast crawler
replacement shoes. Proration under this program varies based upon the sales date of the product. Refer to the
following sections for proration details.
The following formula calculates dealer parts reimbursement
Dealer Reimbursement: D/N Price – (Proration % Factor x Markup)
*Markup represents D/N x 1.36
The prorated coverage for 7495HR or 7495Hd Electric Rope Shovel Cast Crawler Shoe Assurance is shown in
Table 1, 3 & 4:
Adjustment for machine travel: Machine movement or propelling negatively affects crawler track life. The travel
adjustment is based on the propel hours from the date of shoe installation as a percent of the part hours. If the
machine propel hours from the date of shoe installation, exceeds 5% of the part hours, a part hour adjustment is
applied before the prorated dealer reimbursement formula is calculated.
The travel adjustment calculation yields an hour value (if any), which is then added to the part hours in Table 1.
The travel hour adjustment is shown in Table 2:
Table 2
Propel hours from the date of shoe installation
Travel Adjustment
as a percent of the part hours
5.1% to 6.0% 1500 hours
6.1% to 7.0% 3000 hours
7.1% to 8.0% 4500 hours
8.1% and up 16,001 hours – exceeds program limits
An example is given as to how the travel adjustment is applied to the cast crawler shoe proration:
A failure occurs with 12,000 hours accumulated on the cast crawler shoes that are 2 years old. The propel hours
from the date of installation is 650. Therefore the propel hours from the date of installation as a percent of the part
hours is 5.4% (650/12,000). From this information, Table 2 shows an hour adjustment of 1,500 hours. This hour
adjustment is added to the accumulated hours on the cast crawler shoes for a total of 13,500 hours (12,000 parts
hours plus 1,500 adjustment hours). Applying this to Table 1, the proration factor is 60%.
Example 1 - A failure occurs with 12,500 hours accumulated on the cast crawler shoes that are 3 years old and
has 555 propel hours. Proration would be 40% as the part hours results in the higher proration percentage factor.
Example 2 - A failure occurs with 12,500 hours accumulated on the cast crawler shoes that are 3 years old and has
785 propel hours. Proration would be 50% as the propel hours results in the higher proration percentage factor.
Example 1 - A failure occurs with 16,500 hours accumulated on the cast crawler shoes that are 3 years old and
has 852 propel hours. Proration would be 80% as the part hours results in the higher proration percentage factor.
Example 2 - A failure occurs with 16,500 hours accumulated on the cast crawler shoes that are 3 years old and has
1,759 propel hours. Proration would be 85% as the propel hours results in the higher proration percentage factor.

Dealer Reimbursement
Definitions of Replace vs. Repair:
• Replace: Installing a new link assembly, track group, track roller group, carrier roller group, sprocket,
shoe, idler, and/or track shoe or sprocket hardware
• Repair: Replacing individual components to reuse an assembly, including links, bushings, pins, seals,
thrust rings, roller shells, idler shells, and/or shafts
Component proration - is intended for the dealer to credit the customer’s account for unused life on link
assemblies, track rollers, carrier rollers or idlers that are replaced rather than repaired. The following formula
calculates the parts price that is claimed to Caterpillar:
• Caterpillar reimbursement to dealer = D/N Price - (% Worn x (Markup))
*Markup represents D/N x 1.36
Note: For undercarriage where the expectation is to turn bushings, the proration of the link assembly is based
on the track link percent worn. For undercarriage where the expectation is NOT to turn bushings, but to replace
the undercarriage when the bushings are worn out, the proration of the link assembly is based on the most worn
component (bushing or track link).
The maximum amount of Caterpillar’s reimbursement to the dealer is determined by the least costly method.
Any link assembly with 80% or greater link wear must be replaced and not repaired.
Example 1: D11T not at bushing turn time has 2500 hours and link wear is 30%. 3 joints are dry. Dealer Net
Price of link assembly is $25,000.
• Calculate the cost for replacement versus repair
• Replace: Dealer Reimbursement = $25,000 - (30% x (1.36 x $25,000)) = $14,800
• Repair: Dealer Net Price of repair parts plus D&A labor = $2,000.
• Repair is the least costly method.
• Maximum amount of Caterpillar’s reimbursement to dealer = $2,000
Example 2: D11T not at bushing turn time has 2500 hours and link wear is 30%. 30 joints are dry. Links are
damaged and cannot be reused. Dealer Net Price of link assembly is $25,000.
• Calculate the cost for replacement versus repair
• Replace: Dealer Reimbursement = $25,000 - (30% x (1.36 x $25,000)) = $14,800
• Repair: Dealer Net Price of repair parts plus D&A labor = $27,000
• Replace is the least costly method
• Maximum amount of Caterpillar’s reimbursement to dealer = $14,800
Example 3: D11T not at bushing turn time has 2500 hours and link wear is 30%. 30 joints are dry. Links are
OK and can be reused. Track repair can be made with new pins, bushings, and seals. Dealer Net Price of
link assembly is $25,000.
• Calculate the cost for replacement versus repair
• Replace: Dealer Reimbursement = $25,000 - (30% x (1.36 x $25,000)) = $14,800
• Repair: Dealer Net Price of repair parts plus D&A labor = $9,000
• Repair is the least costly method
• Maximum amount of Caterpillar’s reimbursement to dealer = $9,000
• The decision to repair or replace in this situation should be discussed between the dealer and the customer
to determine the best overall value for the customer.

There are two levels of Value Assurance, Level 1* and Level 2. This bulletin only addresses Value Assurance
Level 2 practices and procedures. Value Assurance Level 2 may be referenced either as VA2 or VL2, which are
one in the same.
* The Value Assurance I, VA1 & VL1 Merchandising Program was discontinued Dec. 31, 2005.
Overview
Value Assurance Level 2 requires Caterpillar authorization prior to any machine enrollment sold on/or after
September 1, 1999.
Note: For large mining machines sold on/or after September 1, 1999, the only Value Assurance coverage available
is Level 2.
Value Assurance Level 1 and Level 2 are Caterpillar merchandising programs for dealer-sold product. Dealers use
these programs, when necessary, to obtain new machine sales by offering extended coverage enhancements. They
provide to the customer added product value through additional extended coverage offerings, beyond standard Cat®
machine warranty. Caterpillar will pay for parts, the dealer is responsible for labor costs. Labor must be supplied by
the dealer in order for Caterpillar to participate in the repair reimbursement.
Value Assurance is not an extension of standard Cat machine warranty. It is designed to be a Caterpillar-
supported dealer program.
There are no published VA2 extended coverage offerings. VA2 coverage can be virtually any type of extended
coverage offering that the dealer and Caterpillar agree to provide. Coverage can be a combination package of
several individual coverages.
Typically VA2 is an extension of a VA1 Dealer extended coverage. There are also additional dealer extended
coverages available under VA2 for components such as hydraulics or electrical. Under any VA2 Dealer extended
coverage for components on machines, Caterpillar will reimburse the dealer for parts only if the failure was determined
to be caused by defect in material or workmanship. The dealer is responsible for reimbursement of labor. Dealers
can purchase insurance for certain extended coverages offerings through Cat Financial Insurance Services, which
reimburses dealers for reasonable labor.
At the point of VA enrollment, S·O·SSM sampling must begin at the first recommended interval and continue throughout
the remainder of the VA Coverage.
Dealer and Dealers are defined as any Cat Authorized Dealer or Cat Authorized Repair Representative.

Enrollment
To start the enrollment process and obtain the required approvals, use the form on the Global Warranty website at
https://warranty.cat.com/wtyforms. Make sure all required fields are populated.
Enrollment of machines in VA2 requires approval from Caterpillar sold on/or after September 1, 1999.
After receiving written Caterpillar approval, enrollment registration is then completed by Caterpillar. Enrollment in
VA2 must be done at the time of sale. Dealers must keep on-file a copy of the customer signed Dealer Extended
Agreement or Services / Guarantee Agreement, for verification if requested by Caterpillar.
Parts
All parts needed to correct the defect, including gaskets, seals, salvage materials, and any resultant damaged Cat
parts are dealer reimbursable at the Dealer Net (D/N) price in effect on the date of repair.
The replacement parts or components may be either new, remanufactured, or Caterpillar approved repaired, at
Caterpillar’s choice. When there is a Caterpillar remanufactured part offered that is at standard dimensions, dealers
must always use the remanufactured part.
For an emergency Class 1 Parts Order (warranty with machine down) of a remanufactured part that is not-in-stock,
the dealer will be shipped the equivalent new part and invoiced at the remanufactured price, plus the standard core
charge. This Parts Department practice is not applicable for major components (i.e. engines, transmissions).
Parts reimbursement includes only those Cat parts needed to restore the product to its operating condition just prior to the
Value Assurance covered failure. t does not include reimbursement for parts to restore the product to a like-new condition.
Service Items
Lubricants, filters, antifreeze, and other service items made unusable due to contamination by the failure are dealer
reimbursable. Such items are reimbursed at the Dealer Net (D/N) price in effect on the date of repair. Service items not
affected by the failure, which are replaced in the normal course of the warranty repair are not dealer reimbursable.
Repair Labor
The dealer is responsible for all repair labor. This includes labor to inspect, test, diagnose, remove, disassemble,
clean, assemble, and install.
The dealer may internally accumulate their labor, but not transfer the costs to any other insurance program. If it is
determined that the dealer is not meeting the provisions of the VA program any parts reimbursed by NACD for the
dealer extended VA coverage, will be debited back to the dealer.

the vee belts and coolant hoses, and reconditioned the valve guides to avoid future downtime.
In this example, the vee belts, hoses, and valve guide reconditioning cannot be claimed to Caterpillar
because they did not have a defect, nor were they damaged as a result of the piston ring failure. They
were repaired or replaced only as a precautionary measure.
The intent of Value Assurance is not to restore the product to a like-new condition, but rather to restore the product
to its operating condition just prior to the VA covered failure. Value Assurance covers only the repair or replacement
of the covered failed component and any associated resultant damaged parts.

The Cat® GET Assurance Program applies to Cat Advansys™ Adapters for Large Wheel Loaders (130, 150, 170,
200 and 220 sizes) sold and serviced by Cat Dealers globally. This program was primarily developed by Caterpillar to
reinforce the confidence in Cat Advansys GET adapter life over similar hammerless systems.
Coverage Details
Caterpillar is offering an assurance coverage for Advansys Adapters for 24 months or 125% of the previous
adapter baseline life (12,000 hours maximum), whichever occurs first, for the first purchaser. This coverage runs
concurrently with Parts Warranty.
Caterpillar and the Cat Dealer assure improved adapter wear life for Customers who convert to the new Cat
Advansys GET solution from similar hammerless design solutions.
In the event Cat Advansys adapter wear life does not exceed 125% of the previous adapter baseline, Caterpillar
will prorate replacement adapter cost and the dealer will support installation costs.
Use the following steps to calculate Assurance Life:
1) Determine “Baseline Life” hours - the Baseline Life is the life in hours from one of the following three
scenarios for the machine model being quoted:
a. The actual life of a previous adapter for this customer
b. Projected life to 100% for the previous Cat adapter for this customer
c. If the customer has no previous adapter experience, calculate the average life for 3 Cat machines
of the same model in similar applications and conditions
2) Determine the Assurance Life by multiplying [Baseline Life x Improvement Factor]. Improvement factor = 1.25
Here are two example scenarios:
a. Baseline Life = 9,000 hours, Improvement Factor = 1.25 = 11,250 hours. Coverage is written for
11,250 hours by dealer.
b. Baseline Life = 11,000 hours, Improvement Factor = 1.25 = 13,750 hours. Coverage is written for
12,000 hours by dealer, which is the maximum coverage supported by Caterpillar under this program.
Note: All covered failures that occur during the Parts Warranty period should be filed to Parts Warranty.

Enrollment Qualifications
• Undercarriage can be enrolled without prior Caterpillar approval.
• Effective with machine or parts sales on or after January 1, 2019, machines must be enrolled into either CTSi
or Cat Wear Management System® with CTS Pro to be qualified for Undercarriage Assurance.
• Enrollment must be completed prior to repairs being performed.
• The machine must have a functioning hour meter.
• The minimum purchase for a machine is at least one link assembly, or all track rollers on one track roller
frame, or all idlers on one track roller frame.
Exception: If a component is replaced within the Undercarriage Assurance coverage period AND the customer pays a
proration amount of 25% or more of the component markup, then the Undercarriage Assurance coverage period starts
over for that component. The new parts warranty does not apply to components replaced under this exception.
2 05.33-00 (09/19)
Caterpillar: Confidential Green Bulletin No. 5.33
• Link assemblies and track groups must be installed on the machine prior to the link assembly or track group
install-by date. The install-by date can be found on the parts label attached to the link assembly or track group.
If the parts label is missing or damaged, the install-by date is four years past the assembly date. The assembly
date can be identified through IRM UC03-04 (PELJ0151).
Documentation/Enrollment
For every Undercarriage Assurance Program enrollment, dealers must keep on file the following documentation:
• The completed agreement between the dealer and the customer - enrollment to Caterpillar is not required.
• Undercarriage Assurance Enrollment Certificate, PEEP 9284, is located in Cat Publications for this VA program.
• Customer invoice of original machine or replacement parts sale.
• Custom Track Service (CTS) report at the time of breakage or leakage.
• Customer credit invoices.
• Recommended practice - Dealer should submit informational SIMSi entry indicating date of enrollment.
Dealer Reimbursement
Definitions of Replace vs. Repair:
• Replace: Installing a new link assembly, track group, track roller group, carrier roller group, sprocket,
shoe, idler, and/or track shoe or sprocket hardware.
• Repair: Replacing individual components to reuse an assembly, including links, bushings, pins, seals,
thrust rings, roller shells, idler shells, and/or shafts.
Component proration - is intended for the dealer to credit the customer’s account for unused life on link
assemblies, track rollers, carrier rollers or idlers that are replaced rather than repaired. The following formula
calculates the parts price that is claimed to Caterpillar:
• Caterpillar reimbursement to dealer = D/N Price - (%Worn x (Markup))*
*Markup represents D/N x 1.36
Note: For undercarriage where the expectation is to turn bushings, the proration of the link assembly is based
on the track link percent worn. For undercarriage where the expectation is NOT to turn bushings, but to replace
the undercarriage when the bushings are worn out, the proration of the link assembly is based on the most worn
component (bushing or track link).
The maximum amount of Caterpillar’s reimbursement to the dealer is determined by the least costly method.
Any link assembly with 80% or greater link wear must be replaced and not repaired.
Example 1: D11T not at bushing turn time has 2500 hours and link wear is 30%. 3 joints are dry. Dealer Net
Price of link assembly is $25,000.
• Calculate the cost for replacement versus repair
• Replace: Dealer Reimbursement = $25,000 - (30% x (1.36 x $25,000)) = $14,800.
• Repair: Dealer Net Price of repair parts plus D&A labor = $2,000.
• Repair is the least costly method.
• Maximum amount of Caterpillar’s reimbursement to dealer = $2,000.
Example 2: D11T not at bushing turn time has 2500 hours and link wear is 30%. 30 joints are dry. Links are
damaged and cannot be reused. Dealer Net Price of link assembly is $25,000.
• Calculate the cost for replacement versus repair.
• Replace: Dealer Reimbursement = $25,000 - (30% x (1.36 x $25,000)) = $14,800.
• Repair: Dealer Net Price of repair parts plus D&A labor = $27,000.
• Replace is the least costly method.
• Maximum amount of Caterpillar’s reimbursement to dealer = $14,800.
Example 3: D11T not at bushing turn time has 2500 hours and link wear is 30%. 30 joints are dry. Links are
OK and can be reused. Track repair can be made with new pins, bushings, and seals. Dealer Net Price of link
assembly is $25,000.
• Calculate the cost for replacement versus repair.
• Replace: Dealer Reimbursement = $25,000 - (30% x (1.36 x $25,000)) = $14,800.
• Repair: Dealer Net Price of repair parts plus D&A labor = $9,000.

Component proration - is intended for the dealer to credit the customer’s account for unused life on link
assemblies, track rollers, carrier rollers or idlers that are replaced rather than repaired. The following formula
calculates the parts price that is claimed to Caterpillar:
For Genuine:
• Caterpillar reimbursement to dealer = D/N Price - (%Worn x (Markup))*
For General Duty:
• Caterpillar reimbursement to dealer = D/N Price - (Proration % x (Markup))*
*Markup represents D/N x 1.36
Note: For undercarriage where the expectation is to turn bushings, the proration of the link assembly is based
on the track link percent worn. For undercarriage where the expectation is NOT to turn bushings, but to replace
the undercarriage when the bushings are worn out, the proration of the link assembly is based on the most worn
component (bushing or track link).
For track rollers, carrier rollers, or idlers, proration is based off the % worn of the component being replaced.
General Duty will use Table 1 to calculate the Proration %. This is based upon % Wear and Part Hours.
Example 1: (% Wear): 320 with Genuine Undercarriage has 2500 hours and link wear is 30%, and 2 joints are
dry. Dealer Net Price of link assembly is $5000
• Calculate the cost for replacement versus repair
• Replace: Dealer Reimbursement = $5000 - (30% x (1.36 x $5000)) = $2960
• Repair: Dealer Net Price of repair parts plus D&A labor = $2500.
• Repair is the least costly method.
• Maximum amount of Caterpillar’s reimbursement to dealer = $2500
• The decision to repair or replace in this situation should be discussed between the dealer and the
customer to determine the best overall value for the customer
Example 2: (Proration %): 320 has a General Duty Undercarriage with 1250 hours and link wear is 30%, and 30
joints are dry. Dealer Net Price of link assembly is $5000.

Small & Medium Track-Type Tractors (D3-D8)
& Loaders Undercarriage Assurance Program
Effective for Undercarriage sales on/after 01JAN2019
Overview
Undercarriage Assurance for Small and Medium Track-Type Tractors and Track-Type Loaders is a leakage and
breakage program developed by Caterpillar for specific undercarriage components on certain track-type machines
with steel track. The programs are primarily designed to assure users of structural integrity and sealability.
They are used by dealers, when necessary, to obtain new machine or parts sales by offering product support
enhancements. These additional product support offerings go beyond the Standard New Machine or Parts
Warranties. The cost of the offerings is shared between Caterpillar and the dealer.

2 05.34-00 (09/19)
Caterpillar: Confidential Green Bulletin No. 5.39
Exception: If a component is replaced within the Undercarriage Assurance coverage period AND the customer pays a
proration amount of 25% or more of the component markup, then the Undercarriage Assurance coverage period starts
over for that component. The New Parts Warranty does not apply to components replaced under this exception.
• Link assemblies and track groups must be installed on the machine prior to the link assembly or track group
install-by date. The install-by date can be found on the parts label attached to the link assembly or track group.
If the parts label is missing or damaged, the install-by date is four years past the assembly date. The assembly
date can be identified through IRM UC03-04 (PELJ0151).
Documentation/Enrollment
For every Undercarriage Assurance Program enrollment, dealers must keep on file the following documentation:
• The completed agreement between the dealer and the customer - enrollment to Caterpillar is not required
• Undercarriage Assurance Enrollment Certificate, PEEP 9284, is located in Cat Publications for this VA
program.
• Customer invoice of original machine or replacement parts sale
• Custom Track Service (CTS) report at the time of breakage or leakage
• Customer credit invoices
• Recommended practice - Dealer should submit informational SIMSi entry indicating date of enrollment
Dealer Reimbursement
Definitions of Replace vs. Repair:
• Replace: Installing a new link assembly, track group, track roller group, carrier roller group, sprocket,
shoe, idler, and/or track shoe or sprocket hardware.
• Repair: Replacing individual components to reuse an assembly, including links, bushings, pins, seals,
thrust rings, roller shells, idler shells, and/or shafts.
• The maximum amount of Caterpillar’s reimbursement to the dealer is determined by the least costly
method.
• Any link assembly with 80% or greater link wear must be replaced and not repaired.
• Refer to Table 3 for coverage details.
Component proration - is intended for the dealer to credit the customer’s account for unused life on link
assemblies, track rollers, carrier rollers or idlers that are replaced rather than repaired. The following formula
calculates the parts price that is claimed to Caterpillar:
For HDXL and Genuine SALT:
• Caterpillar reimbursement to dealer = D/N Price - (%Worn x (Markup))*
For SystemOne and General Duty:
• Caterpillar reimbursement to dealer = D/N Price - (Proration % x (Markup))*
*Markup represents D/N x 1.36
Note: For undercarriage where the expectation is to turn bushings, the proration of the link assembly is based
on the track link percent worn. For undercarriage where the expectation is NOT to turn bushings, but to replace
the undercarriage when the bushings are worn out, the proration of the link assembly is based on the most worn
component (bushing or track link).
For track rollers, carrier rollers, or idlers, proration is based off the % worn of the component being replaced.
SystemOne will use Table 1 and General Duty will use Table 2 to calculate the Proration %. This is based upon
% Wear and Part Hours.
Example 1:(% Wear) D6T with HDXL Undercarriage has 2500 hours and link wear is 30%. 2 joints are dry.
Dealer Net Price of link assembly is $5000.
• Calculate the cost for replacement versus repair
• Replace: Dealer Reimbursement = $5000 - (30% x (1.36 x $5000)) = $2960
• Repair: Dealer Net Price of repair parts plus D&A labor = $2500.
• Repair is the least costly method.

Overview
The Electric Rope Shovel Cast Crawler Shoe Assurance Program, is a wear and breakage program developed by
Caterpillar specifically for the:
• 59 inch cast crawler shoe used on the 7295
All other moving undercarriage components for the 7295 Electric Rope Shovel undercarriage, such as shoe
connecting pins, front idlers and support shafts, lower rollers and support shafts, drive tumblers, top support plates
(where applicable), and top support rollers (where applicable) are not covered by this program.
The program is used by dealers, when necessary, to obtain new machine or parts sales by offering product support
enhancements. This additional product support offering goes beyond the standard machine warranty or new parts
warranty. The cost of the offering is shared between Caterpillar and the dealer.
➤ Coverage
For products sold prior to January 1, 2019 this coverage begins at same time as the standard machine warranty or
new parts warranty term and terminates in 4 years, 16,000 part hours or 1,000 propel hours, whichever occurs first.
For products sold on/after January 1, 2019 this coverage begins at the same time as the standard machine warranty
or new parts warranty term and terminates in 4 years, 20,000 part hours, or 2,000 propel hours, whichever occurs
first.
The coverage is prorated. (Refer to the Dealer Reimbursement section of this bulletin for details.) Coverage ends
with the stated years or hours, whichever occurs first.
This coverage only applies after all other applicable coverages for the failed component have expired.
Reimbursement during standard warranty is limited to reimbursement provided by that coverage. For example, if
a failure occurs during the standard warranty period, and the failure is covered by standard warranty, the claim
must be filed following the instructions in Bulletin 2.01. Reimbursement in this case follows standard warranty
reimbursement practices.

➤ Towing
Towing reimbursement is intended for trucks that are disabled and further operation will cause additional damage
to the unit or create a potential public safety hazard. The following is a list of towing reimbursement requirements:
• Towing is reimbursed from the location of failure to the nearest authorized repair location only. The trip
back to the towing facility is not reimbursed.
• Towing to a location to unload or unhook from a trailer/load is not reimbursed, except in a situation to
safely remove the unit from a busy highway.
• Towing invoices must be itemized to show all charges, such as cost per mile/kilometer/hour, hook-up
fee, mileage, trailer drop fees, drive shaft removal and/or installation fees, etc. Charges that are not
justified will not be reimbursed. Since towing charges are reimbursed at average regional rates, towing
reimbursement may not cover all expenses if the company charges more than what is normal for the
area.
• A physical address for hook up and drop off locations must be found on Google maps.
• A VIN and all required/relevent information for the unit towed must be on the original invoice, not hand
written in at a later time.
• Towing invoices must be attached to SIMS and retained according to bulletin 1.03. Any receipt not
having the required information will be denied.
Pictures
Clear pictures of the defect area for all DPF, DOC, EGR cooler and wiring harness defects must be attached to
the claim in SIMS.
Work Order Closing Summaries
Work order closing summaries must be attached to the claim in SIMS in the following situations:
• Multiple failures/claims for one dealer visit.
• Claims with wiring harness repairs totaling more than 3 hours of labor.
• Any claim for a repair with more than 3 hours of troubleshooting.
➤ Late Claim Exceptions:
• For EPP/ESC and parts warranty claims, refer to Warranty Bulletin 1.13.
• For Vocational On-Highway Truck standard warranty and emissions warranty claims:
• Caterpillar caused issue that the claim is late, contact onhighwaywarranty@cat.com for consideration
• Dealer caused issue that the claim is late, contact the On-Highway Truck Service Representative for
consideration
• For all Standard and Emissions Warranty Vocational Truck repairs submitted on or after 01JUL2016,
original claims (All PD Codes excluding Contested Claims PD Code 98) and additional information
supplemental claims (PD Code 20) must be received in the Caterpillar Claims system within 50 days from
the last date of significant labor for that repair.
Parts Hold:
For all Standard and Emissions Warranty Vocational Truck repairs submitted on or after 01JUL2016, all removed/
replaced parts must be properly tagged and held by the dealer for 30 days after your claim has been approved/
reimbursed.
Pre-Delivery Repairs
Caterpillar requests dealers to provide a final check-up and make any minor adjustments required prior to
delivery of the Vocational On-Highway Truck to the customer. Normally these check-ups and adjustments,
which include checks for proper equipment operation, completeness, fluid levels, tire pressure, literature, etc.,
are considered as standard dealer preparations and are therefore not reimbursable.
If defects are encountered that cannot be classified as normal factory delivery inspection (FDI), but rather
corresponding to a repair, dealers are requested to complete such repairs under warranty. Since the Vocational
On-Highway Truck has not been sold, Caterpillar will accept pre-delivery claims, including the labor required for
repairs encountered during preparations. Labor is reimbursable at the Vocational On-highway Truck Labor Rate.
1) Each incident has to be reported on a separate claim and a corresponding SIMS Report must have
been submitted prior to the claim being submitted.
2) Labor should be broken down per TRG guidelines.
3) Delivery date should be entered as 00NIS00 on the claim.

➤ Overview
This bulletin will provide clarity to the establishment and administration of labor rates for the CT660 Vocational
Truck and future vocational truck products. As noted in Bulletin 1.05, vocational truck labor rates are based
on market rates. This process involves understanding the labor market by dealer region as dictated by the
advertised rates in a given territory. Dealer comparisons are aligned by zip code and by comparable services
offered. Vocational truck labor rates are unique, and not intended to be compared with the On-Highway Engine
(Legacy product) rate.
Vocational Truck rates may be reviewed every six months. In cases where there are significant discrepancies
with the rate in the Caterpillar Service Claims system and local market rates, the dealer should contact their
local Caterpillar Representative (Caterpillar Vocational Service Rep) and request a review of local labor rates for
the applicable area in question. The dealer and the Caterpillar Representative would jointly complete a Local
Service Provider data sheet (see the attached form) for review of the rate in question (complete one report per
dealer branch/code). In any event, the regional office will be required to support the findings and submit them
to On-Highway Customer Services for review. On-Highway Customer Services will take the completed survey
and review the information internally for approval, and in cases where additional information is needed, they will
enlist the services of the region/field team.
Dealers may submit a change request based on market conditions by May 1 for July 1 updates and November 1
for January 1 updates. Any form received after the cutoff date will be rejected or held until the next review cycle,
if requested.
If a rate correction/change has not been requested prior to the November 1 deadline, an e-mail notification to
the Caterpillar Vocational Truck Service Rep is required to confirm that the current rate on file is going to remain
the same.
On-Highway Customer Services will provide feedback to the region as to the results of the review, and in cases
where the rate change request is favorable; they will initiate the change through Global Warranty, effective with
the approved cycle date (July 1 or January 1).
Dealer and Dealers are defined as any Cat Authorized Dealer or Cat Authorized Repair Representative.

SERVICE
Overview
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) and the California Air Resources Board (ARB)
require new motor vehicle and new motor vehicle engine manufacturers to provide an emission warranty to end-
users. This bulletin provides additional information to dealers regarding emission warranties provided with each
Cat® Vocational Truck distributed in the United States and Canada.
Emission Warranty
The emissions warranty period is 100,000 miles or 60 months, whichever occurs first, after the date of delivery to
the first purchaser. The emission warranty statement provided to the end-user guarantees:
• The new engines are designed, built and equipped to conform at the time of sale with applicable
regulations, and
• Are free from defects in materials and workmanship:
• Causing the engine to fail to conform to applicable emission standards for the warranty period, or
• Which cause the failure of an emission related component to be identical in all material respects to
the component as described in Caterpillar’s application for certification for the warranty period.
The Federal and California emission warranties are also described to the end user in the applicable Operation
and Maintenance Manual (OM&M).
Emission warranty does not cover dealer rebuild/exchange or Reman engines that do not have a US EPA/ARB
certification label.
Note: Any changes (additions/deletions) to this document only take effect for repairs started after the publication
changes. Considerations for previous repairs are not authorized by warranty.
Dealer and Dealers are defined as any Cat Authorized Dealer or Cat Authorized Repair Representative.

• If a complete engine is replaced in a Cat Vocational Truck, enter a SIMS record with the serial number of
the new or Reman engine, documenting the in-service date.
• Aftermarket components may be utilized for maintenance and non-warranty repairs. The owner should
ensure that such components are equivalent in design, function and durability to genuine Cat parts.
Use of aftermarket parts does not invalidate the emission warranties. However, Caterpillar is not liable
for any subsequent failure caused by an aftermarket part. **Caterpillar Emission Solutions Aftermarket
Aftertreatment products are covered by Bulletin 7.02.
• Verification of a defect in material and/or workmanship may be required before emission warranty
coverage applies.
• The anti-tampering provision of the Clean Air Act applies regardless of the person performing work on an
engine or vehicle. It is illegal for any person to disconnect or tamper with any emission control component or
to put the engine into an uncertified configuration, other than on a temporary basis for repair purposes.
• During the terms of the emission warranty, Caterpillar, through an authorized dealer, will provide new,
remanufactured, or repaired parts and/or components at Caterpillar’s option. This may include all other engine
components damaged as a result of the failure of a defective engine emission part. The owner is encouraged to
keep adequate maintenance records, but the absence of such does not automatically invalidate this warranty.

Overview
This Special (Service) Bulletin addresses the Travel Equipment Protection Plan (Travel EPP) which is a 12-month
program that combines Year 1 – Labor Only and Travel coverages. The Travel EPP addresses certain travel
expenses that result from repairs to components that are covered under certain new EPP offered through Caterpillar.
The equipment must be enrolled in the Travel EPP that includes Year 1 – Labor only EPP to be considered eligible
for this coverage. The Travel EPP is not available for Year 2 & beyond.
The program provides new machine coverage as defined by the New Machine EPP (Program (Service) Bulletin 8.00).
Depending on the EPP enrolled, one of the following coverage (service) bulletins apply: Powertrain EPP (Bulletin
8.01), Hydraulic EPP (Bulletin 8.02), Hydraulic and Technology EPP (Bulletin 8.10), or Premier EPP (Bulletin 8.03).
The terms of this program do not change the coverage described within these program and coverage bulletins. Refer
to the standard machine warranty and its applicable program bulletins for covered component failures during the
standard warranty period. Refer to these bulletins for covered component failures during the EPP coverage period.
EPP provides dealer reimbursement for parts and/or labor for covered defects in Caterpillar material and manufacturer
workmanship. Repairs must be completed by a Cat® authorized dealer.
Coverage for defects in Cat material and manufacturer workmanship as defined by EPP means the failure of any
original or Cat approved replacement part to work as designed in normal service, providing proper maintenance
was received as recommended in the applicable Caterpillar manuals, including the Operation and Maintenance
Manual (OMM) and other applicable service literature. Mechanical breakdown means the failure of any original or
replacement part covered by EPP to work as it was designed in normal service, providing it has received customary
maintenance as recommended by the manufacturer. Any mechanical breakdown and resultant damage caused by
failure of a non-covered component (including Yellowmark™ A Caterpillar Brand, and Cat® Classic Brand parts)
is not eligible.

Caterpillar Service Claims System. See Caterpillar Global Warranty Bulletin 1.05, Labor, Travel & Vehicle Rates,
for details on travel and vehicle rates.
All covered claims receive fixed maximum travel reimbursement based on enrollment coverage selected. If actual
travel (hours/miles) are less than the enrolled coverage, the dealer will be reimbursed at the fixed maximum
amount based on the enrolled coverage.
Dealers must submit a separate travel claim. The dealer can claim up to the enrolled coverage option limits for that
serial number. Only a single travel reimbursement is allowed per covered repair. A repair is identified with unique
Service Claim and Dealer Claim numbers. Repairs requiring multiple trips are allowed only a single hour and mile/
kilometer reimbursement per covered repair.
Service Letter travel and vehicle allowances eligible for reimbursement according to the letter will not be eligible
for the Travel EPP.
Claim Limits
The maximum number of Travel claims varies depending on the selection of EPP coverage:
• Powertrain EPP: 5 claims maximum per serial number
• Hydraulic EPP: 5 claims maximum per serial number
• Hydraulic and Technology EPP: 5 claims maximum per serial number
• Premier EPP: 10 claims maximum per serial number

The program provides new machine coverage as defined by the New Machine EPP (Program (Service) Bulletin
8.00). Depending on the EPP enrolled, one of the following Coverage (Service) Bulletins apply: Powertrain EPP
(Bulletin 8.01), Hydraulic EPP (Bulletin 8.02), Hydraulic and Technology EPP (Bulletin 8.10), or Premier EPP
(Bulletin 8.03). The terms of this Special Program do not change the coverage described within these program
and coverage bulletins. Refer to the standard machine warranty and applicable program bulletins for covered
component failures during the standard warranty period and refer to these bulletins for covered component failures
during the EPP coverage period.
EPP provides dealer reimbursement for parts and/or labor for covered defects in Cat® material and manufacturer
workmanship. Repairs must be completed by a Cat authorized dealer.
Coverage for defects in Cat material and manufacturer workmanship as defined by EPP means the failure of any
original or Cat approved replacement part to work as designed in normal service, providing proper maintenance was
received as recommended in the applicable Caterpillar manuals, including the Operation and Maintenance Manual
(OMM) and other applicable service literature. Mechanical breakdown means the failure of any original or replacement
part covered by EPP to work as it was designed in normal service, providing it has received customary maintenance
as recommended by the manufacturer. Any mechanical breakdown and resultant damage caused by failure of a non-
covered component (including Yellowmark™ A Caterpillar Brand, and Cat® Classic Parts) are not eligible.

EPP Period
EPP provides coverage beyond standard machine warranty for parts and labor. The coverage term for the New
Machine EPP starts from the product delivery date and includes the standard machine warranty. Coverage under
the EPP Program does not change the standard machine warranty. The EPP expires when the length of time
(measured in months) or the machine hour usage is reached, whichever comes first.
New Machine EPP provides the dealer with the following options:
Year 1 - Labor Only
Provides protection for dealer labor cost exposures during standard machine warranty. The program
provides one level of coverage: Premier.
Year 2 & Beyond
Provides protection for coverage beyond standard machine warranty for parts and labor. The program
provides one level of coverage: Premier.
Validating Coverage
Dealers can verify EPP coverage in the Caterpillar Service Information Management System (SIMSi) at

In U.S., Canada, Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and South Korea certain parts and/or components may qualify for
Manufacturer Emissions Warranty in accordance with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US
EPA) and the California Air Resources Board (ARB). The South Korea Clean Air Conservation Act requires
Caterpillar to provide an emission warranty to end users; for engines used in certain construction equipment
operated and repaired in South Korea.
Bulletin 7.01 explains the details of Manufacturer Emissions Warranty and the claiming procedures for emissions
components.
Unless otherwise specified, upon expiration of the Manufacturer Emissions Warranty, certain parts are included
in EPP and covered for defects in Cat material and manufacturer workmanship according to the normal EPP
guidelines. See applicable EPP Coverage Bulletins for information regarding emissions components that are
beyond the terms of Manufacturer Emissions Warranty and are enrolled in a Caterpillar EPP.

Caterpillar: Confidential Green Bulletin No. 8.11
NOTE: If the piston ring failed due to abuse (such as operating without changing oil at the proper interval), the
ring failure and resultant damage would not be due to a Caterpillar defect and therefore is not a covered failure.
Example: While performing a Hydraulic EPP repair of a leaking bucket cylinder, the dealer service technician
notices the hydraulic hoses have cuts from falling rocks. The service technician also notices some wear (within
acceptable limits) in the rod eye bearing. In addition to repairing the leaking bucket cylinder, the service technician
replaces the hydraulic hoses and rod eye bearing to avoid future downtime. In this example the hydraulic hoses
and rod eye bearing cannot be claimed to Caterpillar because they did not have a defect, nor were they damaged
as a result of the leaking bucket cylinder. They were repaired or replaced as a result of Customer Responsibilities
for assuring all recommended preventive maintenance is performed.
NOTE: If the bucket cylinder seals failed due to abuse (damage to the cylinder rod from falling rocks), the repair
of the leaking lift cylinder and resultant damage would not be due to a Caterpillar defect and therefore is not a
covered failure.
Example: While performing a Hydraulic and Technology - EPP program repair of a defective position sensing
cylinder, the dealer service technician notices the wiring harness has cuts from falling rocks. In addition to repairing
the defective position sensing cylinder, the service technician replaces the wiring harness to avoid future downtime.
In this example the wiring harness cannot be claimed to Caterpillar because it did not have a defect nor was it
damaged as a result of the defective position sensing cylinder. The wiring harness was repaired or replaced as
a result of the Customer Responsibilities for assuring all recommended preventative maintenance is performed.
NOTE: If the position sensing cylinder failed due to abuse (damage to the cylinder from falling rocks), the repair
of the position sensing cylinder and resultant damage would not be due to a Caterpillar defect and therefore is not
a covered failure.
Customer’s Responsibilities
• Operating the product properly and within the limits of intended capacity and application
• Fueling, lubricating, adjusting, operating, and maintaining the equipment as instructed by the dealer and in
accordance with the recommendations set forth in the applicable Caterpillar manuals, including the OMM and
other applicable service literature
• Notifying the dealer promptly if a problem exists
• Promptly making the product available to the dealer for warranty repairs and product improvement programs
• Assuring all recommended preventative maintenance is performed at the specified service intervals as
described in the OMM. Preventative maintenance includes, but is not limited to, the servicing, adjusting and/
or replacing of specified components
EPP does not cover failure of any components if Customer’s Responsibilities are not followed. The dealer may be
required to provide proof of compliance with the maintenance schedules, at the time of a failure. Proof may include
receipts, copies of work orders, or invoices showing the performed maintenance services.
Dealer’s Responsibilities
• Confirm that the equipment has not experienced a failure prior to the EPP coverage start date. If a failure
exists, the equipment must be repaired prior to registering it for EPP
• Repair equipment using the most economical method and install only genuine Cat® parts
• Keep on file the applicable inspection and all parts and labor invoices relative to required repairs
• Pay for any loss in excess of what is covered by EPP if broader coverage was offered to the customer (losses
are not reimbursable by Caterpillar)
• Register equipment for EPP and pay applicable fees

Overview
The purpose of this bulletin is to provide an overview of the Equipment Protection Plan (EPP) available for Cat®
used machines sold by Cat dealers.
There are several EPP qualifying machine status classifications;
Rental Fleet – A Cat machine that is currently in the dealer’s inventory and is available for rent.
Coverage Continuation – A Cat machine that is 60 days or less from the end of an active EPP (new or
used) OR that had an EPP that has not been expired by age or hours more 30 days.
For Australia, Coverage Continuation is managed by Willis, with Cat Financial Insurance Services
underwriting and administering policies. Coverage Continuation in Australia includes stand-alone
EPP sales (independent of a machine sale/purchase) and does not require an existing active policy.
Trade in/Other – A Cat machine in dealer inventory that was acquired through trade in or other
purchase. A Cat machine that does not meet the definitions of any other classification.
Rental Rollout (Americas North Only) – A Cat machine that is currently being sold out of the dealer’s
rental fleet, has an active EPP, the current coverage will be left in place and another EPP coverage will be
added and start when the current coverage expires and reaches its age or hour limit.
EPP coverage options available for used machines;
Powertrain (PWT) - See Bulletin 8.01.
Powertrain + Hydraulics (P+H) - See Bulletin 8.01 and 8.02.
Coverage terms range from 3 to 60 months with hour options from 250 to 10,000 hours, depending on model
age and current service meter units (SMU).
EPP enrollments must be completed within 30 days of the EPP coverage start date.
EPP covers parts and labor repair costs on eligible machine failures for covered powertrain and/or hydraulic
components, depending upon the EPP coverage type. EPP coverage applies only to failures caused by
defects in materials and workmanship. The intent of EPP coverage is not to restore the product to a like-new
condition, but rather to restore the product to its operating condition just prior to the covered failure.

➤ Machine Eligibility
ELIGIBLE used machines are Cat machines that meet age and hour limits and are:
Machines outside of machine standard warranty (MSW) period.
Machines that have undergone and passed a Dealer Owned Certified, TA-1, or similar inspection.
Machines owned by a customer or dealer.
Machines in good working condition.
Brazil Only:
Machines originally manufactured in Brazil.
EXCLUSIONS:
Machines NOT in good working condition.
Machines sold in an “AS IS” condition.
Machines already covered by another Caterpillar or Caterpillar Affiliate Warranty Plan.
Brazil Only:
Imported machines.
➤ Inspections
All machines must be inspected and all inspections must be completed within the 30 days prior to the
EPP coverage start date. Some exceptions are granted for machines with an active EPP at the time of the used
machine sale. (See EXCEPTIONS/ADJUSTMENTS below.)
Acceptable inspections:
Dealer Owned Certified inspection form which can be found on CatUsed.com® under the My CatUsed
tab. (Choose the appropriate inspection type and model)
Powertrain or both the Powertrain and Hydraulics sections of the TA-1 as applicable to the coverage
level required.
Other Cat Financial Insurance Services approved and appropriate dealer inspection.
If problems are identified in the TA-1, Dealer Owned Certified, or other Cat Financial Insurance Services approved
inspection forms, a TA-2 inspection of major components is required. In addition, any items not passing inspection
must first be repaired in order to qualify for Used Machine EPP. All fees for this inspection and necessary repairs
are the responsibility of the dealer.
Registration will not be accepted until all deficiencies are corrected. The corrective action should be noted. It is the
selling dealer’s responsibility to see that the machine is properly inspected. The completed inspection must
be signed and dated by the selling dealer. All inspections will become part of the equipment file at the dealership.
EXCEPTIONS/ADJUSTMENTS:
Dealer Rental Fleet Exception (Coverage Continuation/ Rental Rollout, where available): The machine is
currently in the dealer’s rental fleet, is covered under one of Cat Financial Insurance Services EPP parts and
labor programs, and the coverage has not yet reached the applicable age or hour limit. There will be no gap in
coverage between the active coverage and the Individual Used Machine EPP coverage. An inspection is not
required, provided the level of machine coverage is not transitioning to a higher coverage level.
Customer Owned Machine Exception (Coverage Continuation, where available): If the machine is currently
covered under one of Cat Financial Insurance Services EPP parts and labor programs, and the coverage has
not yet reached the applicable age or hour limit, there will be no gap in coverage between the active coverage
or registration and the Used Machine EPP. An inspection is not required, provided the level of machine
coverage is not transitioning to a higher coverage level.
A dealer employee should obtain an hour meter reading on the date the currently active coverage or
registration ends for both Dealer Rental Fleet and Customer Owned Machine Exceptions, and use this reading
as the coverage start hours for the Used Machine EPP.
Dealer Used Machine Inventory Adjustment: If the machine is currently in the dealer’s used machine inventory
and the coverage start date is more than 30 days from the last inspection date, the dealer must confirm there is
no significant change (more than 50 additional hours) in machine SMU. The dealer should verify that the original
inspection is still an accurate representation of the machine. The dealer would then adjust/update the hours
and inspection date to coincide with the current SMU reading and date. An additional inspection is not required,
provided the level of machine coverage is not transitioning to a higher coverage level.
Inspection files of the selling dealer are subject to audit. Further, the dealer is obligated to forward a
copy of the inspection if directed to do so.
Dealer’s Responsibilities
Confirm that the machine has not experienced a failure prior to the EPP coverage start date. If a
failure exists, the machine must be repaired prior to registering it for EPP.
Repair machines using the most economical method, and install only genuine Cat parts.

➤ Machine Eligibility
Caterpillar determines machine eligibility through publication of a Rebuild Manual for each specific model and
serial number prefix, except in Brazil where only domestically manufactured machines are eligible for the EPP
Rebuild programs. Prior to starting a Certified Rebuild on a Cat machine, the dealer must submit a Certified
Rebuild Enrollment Request form to Caterpillar. This request form and the Rebuild Manuals are made available
on the Certified Rebuild webpage at: https://dealer.cat.com/en/ps/repair-options/certified-rebuild.html. Only
machines eligible for the Caterpillar Certified Rebuild programs are listed by product family, model and serial
number prefix on this site. Contact your Caterpillar Certified Rebuild representative to request the addition of a
non-listed machine or manual.
Following the submission of the Certified Rebuild Enrollment Request form and the completion of the rebuild
itself, Caterpillar requires the dealer to complete and submit a Certified Rebuild Delivery Notice when the rebuilt
machine is delivered to the end-user customer. The Delivery Notice is used to notify Caterpillar that the machine
has been delivered to the customer and also indicates that EPP was included/sold as part of the rebuild. It
does not initiate or to complete the EPP enrollment. The dealer is responsible to initiate and complete the EPP
enrollment.
Note: Machines eligible for EPP coverage (see https://dealer.cat.com/en/ps/esc-epp/machine-worktool/used/
cert-rebuild.html) must also be eligible for the CCR or CPT rebuild programs. (see https://dealer.cat.com/en/ps/
repair-options/certified-rebuild.html).
Only machines originally manufactured in Brazil are eligible for rebuild EPP in Brazil if they are also
eligible for the CCR or CPT rebuild programs.
Note: The date of delivery specified by the dealer on the Certified Rebuild Delivery Notice is used as the
coverage start date for both the Parts Warranty and EPP.
Note: The coverage start hour for EPP is the service meter unit (SMU) reading at the date of delivery. This
should match the hours shown on the Certified Rebuild Delivery Notice. (Usually “1” for a CCR.)
Dealer’s Responsibilities
Confirm that the machine has not experienced a failure prior to the EPP coverage start date. (The
coverage start date is the delivery date as shown on the Certified Rebuild Delivery Notice.) If a
failure exists, the machine must be repaired prior to registering it for EPP.
Confirm that the machine has been rebuilt according to the specific published Cat Rebuild Manual
requirements.
• Requirements may include but are not limited to:
• Parts that must always be replaced.
• Procedures and quality checks that must be performed.
• Product engineering updates that must be incorporated.
Repair machines using the most economical method, and install only genuine Cat parts (including
remanufactured parts).
Keep on file all parts invoices of new and Reman Cat parts that were installed during the rebuild.
Pay for any loss in excess of what is covered by EPP if broader coverage was offered to the
customer.
Register each machine for EPP and pay applicable fees.
If the rebuilding dealer is not the EPP registering dealer, please contact your Cat Financial
Insurance Services representative before initiating the rebuild itself.
Note for Repair Claim:
• If the Part causing the failure is a Reused Part:
• Indicate the type of rebuild (CCR) and state that the Part causing the failure was a Reused
Part in the Claim Story and enter Group Number 772R.
Covered Components under EPP
Covered components are the same as those covered under Powertrain (Bulletin 8.01) and/or Hydraulics
(Bulletin 8.02) depending upon coverage type. For a summary of Service Management Control System
(SMCS) codes and major component categories, refer to the appropriate bulletin(s). Parts and components
replaced under the terms of the Cat Parts warranty or under EPP are covered for the remainder of the current
EPP coverage period. Coverage for all parts and labor ceases when the specified time or hour limit is reached,
regardless of when the part was repaired or replaced.
Components commonly mistaken as powertrain, which are not covered include: undercarriage, external hoses
and lines (except hydrostatic), the engine radiator, and engine attachments (alternator, starter, air compressor,
air conditioner compressor). Radiators are reconditioned or replaced during the rebuild process, but are not
covered under EPP.

In the claim story, enter the serial number of the component(s) and the source of the component(s). (Cat
Remanufactured component or Cat new component.) When enrolling a torque converter and transmission,
include the serial number of both. When enrolling drive axles, final drives and/or differentials, include the tag
tracking number provided by the Caterpillar Certified Rebuild group.
Validating Coverage
Dealers can verify EPP enrollment / coverage through Caterpillar’s on-line computer system using the dealer
Service Information Management System (SIMSi). The coverage / customer information screens will show the
coverage start date, coverage terms and the customer name and address.
The intent of a repair is not to restore the product to a like-new condition, but rather to restore the product to its
operating condition just prior to the covered failure. The repair or replacement of the failed part or component and
any associated resultant damaged parts are reimbursable on allowed claims. Other parts removed in the process
of repair will be reinstalled as is, unless the customer authorizes the additional cost at the customer’s expense.
NOTE: Sometimes a parts book page with an acceptable component code will include parts that are not covered
and parts that are broken out on another parts book page (i.e. brakes). When in doubt, submit inquiries through
the Warranty Service Desk.
These references, which indicate use of a substitute code, apply only when using the component code on a labor
expense line if labor reimbursement is applicable. In some cases, a component code, which indicates use of a
substitute code, may have been canceled. Using a canceled component code on a labor expense line will cause
the entire service claim to be canceled. To avoid this, dealers should use the substitute component code listed in
parentheses for claiming labor reimbursement in the expenses detail section of the claim.
NOTE: Refer to Bulletins 1.06 and 1.09 for proper group number and labor line SMCS code usage.

• Confirm that the machine has been rebuilt according to the specific Caterpillar requirements, such as
• Parts that must always be replaced, and
• Procedures and quality checks which must be performed and
• Product engineering updates which must be incorporated
• Repair machine using the most economical method, and install only genuine Caterpillar parts (including
remanufactured parts).
• Keep on file all parts invoices of new and remanufactured Caterpillar parts that were installed during the

• Register each machine for coverage, and pay fees using the Caterpillar Service Claims System.
• A Service letter, including PSP’s and PIP/s, which has been issued for a component or failure that
normally would be covered. The exception to this is where the reimbursement for parts and labor under
the service letter is proportionately reduced over time. For example the reimbursement is for 100%
up to 1,000 hours and 50% from 1,000 hours, etc. If the failure would normally be covered by EPP for
CCR, then EPP for CCR would reimburse the difference under an additional claim. EPP for CCR would
reimburse the difference of a separate claim under the appropriate group number (7751 PIP or 7755
PSP), if the failure was normally covered by EPP for CCR.
