4. Document any unusual conditions under which the inspection is being completed (i.e., bad
weather, poor lighting, lack of access or space around the machine, etc.) on the inspection
form.
5. Begin your inspection of the machine and complete the remainder of the inspection form,
working your way through the form from top to bottom to ensure that you do not miss any
important items or sections.
6. If an item is not applicable to the machine being inspected, mark the item as NO on the form,
instead of Not Applicable.
7. Ensure that you check the oil and antifreeze levels prior to starting a machine.
8. Ensure the machine is started during the inspection. If you are unable to start the machine for
any reason, document this information on the inspection form.
9. Ensure the machine is maneuvered/walked during the inspection. If you are unable to
maneuver or walk the machine for any reason, document this information on the inspection
form.
10. If you observe any oil or fluid leaks on the machine, document a description of the leakage
(i.e., steady drip, minor seepage) on the inspection form.
11. If an attachment or work tool is not a Caterpillar item, document the brand of the attachment or
Work tool in the appropriate section of the form.
12. Ensure photographs are taken.

2. Make sure that you are in the My CatUsed screen as show below.
3. Select inspection forms or inspection mobile (PDA format) on the left side of the
screen as marked below.
4. For paper inspections forms, select the type of inspection as well as the product
family, as shown below.
5. Inspection types:
1. Customer Owned Salesman and Customer Owned Certified:
These inspections are performed on Customer Trades, Consignment Units,
and Dealer Purchases
2. Dealer Owned Rental Return and Dealer Owned Certified:
These inspections are performed to assess the condition, and perform
service work to:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Existing inventory
Rental returned units
Rental roll-out units
Required for Cat Certified branding and program participation
Required for inventory listing on CatUsed.com
NOTE: Units must be in My CatUsed inventory, and the inspection may be performed
ONLINE or by PDA.
7. For PDA and laptop inspection form, follow the steps on the screen as show
below:
8. You can now print your form, and you are ready to complete your inspection.
NEW
A rating of New indicates a component is brand new
(less than 50 hours).
GOOD
A rating of Good indicates a component does not need
to be replaced or repaired and is operating condition.
FAIR
A rating of Fair indicates the component is in working
condition, does not need to be replaced, but should be
repaired.
POOR
A rating of Poor suggest that the component needs
to be replaced.

SOS Sampling:
Oil Valve Probe General Guidelines:
Use sampling valves whenever possible. Samples taken from sampling valves are more reliable
because they come from a consistent, known location where the oil is well mixed and circulated.
The oil valve probe sampling method requires a 169-8373 Fluid Bottle Group, which includes the
sample bottle and the 177-9343 Cap and Probe Group. The Cap and Probe Group includes a
cap, probe, and 12 in (30 cm) of plastic tube. The 162-8873 Probe Holder is not included in the
Fluid Bottle Group, but is required when obtaining a sample. The Probe Holder guides the probe
into the valve when drawing a fluid sample and may be reused.
If you are sampling several compartments, you must use a new Fluid Bottle Group for each
system sampled. Always discard the Cap and Probe Group after each sample. This is especially
important after sampling engine oil because soot and oil additives will remain in the tubing and
contaminate other samples.
Fluid samples are generally taken with the engine at low idle. If the flow is slow at low idle, it
may be necessary to accelerate the engine to high idle while extracting the sample.
Do not take your sample from the drain stream; dirty fluid from the bottom of the compartment
will contaminate the sample. Likewise, never dip a fluid sample from a container or pour a
sample from a used filter.
Fill out as much information as possible on the SOS label before you begin taking samples.
Record the SMU on the oil since the last oil change.
Keep your sampling supplies clean. Dirty supplies will contaminate your samples and cause
inaccurate test results. Keep new sample bottles capped. Rubber dust caps should be kept on
all sampling valves. Be sure your vacuum pump, tubing, and valve probes are protected from
dust during storage.
Label two sampling bottles as waste bottles; one for oil and one for coolant.
Insert the probe into the valve and collect about 100 ml (4 fl oz) of oil into a waste container;
mark a sampling bottle for this purpose. This process cleans the valve and helps ensure a
representative sample. Dispose of the waste oil properly.
Using a new probe and bottle, insert the probe into the valve again and fill the sample bottle
three-quarters full do not fill to the top. Do not allow any dirt to enter the bottle or bottle cap.
Withdraw the probe from the valve. Replace the two-hole cap on the sampling bottle with the
solid cap. Dispose of the used probe. Place the bottle with the completed label into the shipping
container.

CTS Measurement:
General Guidelines:
Track Sag =
(Front + Rear)
2
Measure over the bushing bore, above the centerline of the bushing
For SystemOne links measure over either cartridge bore
SystemOne:
SystemOne:
Track Tension:
If too tight, put excessive stress on undercarriage and drive train components while wasting
horsepower
If too loose, track slaps during directional changes and may cause wear on top of the roller
frame
Track Shoes:
Use the narrowest shoe possible to provide adequate machine floatation
Operator Practices:
High speed accelerates wear
Reverse operation accelerates bushing and sprocket wear (not true for SystemOne
undercarriage)
Turning in one direction causes unbalanced wear
Slipping track increases wear rates for all components and decreases machine productivity
