Caterpillar Forestry Equipment Manuals

About Caterpillar Forestry Equipment Manuals

Forestry machines such as feller bunchers, harvesters, skidders and forwarders work in harsh conditions where hydraulics, saw heads, cooling systems and electrical harnesses take a beating.

Which manual do you need?

• Electrical & Hydraulic Schematic Manual: Electrical and hydraulic schematics show how circuits, harnesses, connectors, valves and lines are laid out, which is what you need when tracing a fault or testing a circuit.
• Parts Catalogue Manual: A parts catalogue manual breaks the machine down into assemblies with exploded views and reference numbers, so you can identify the correct part before you order or fit it.
• Operation & Maintenance Manual: An operation and maintenance manual explains the controls and gauges, safe operating practice, daily walk-around checks, lubrication points, fluid types and service intervals.
• Service Repair Manual: A service repair manual is the workshop reference: it explains how systems work, gives specifications and test values, and walks through troubleshooting, removal, disassembly, assembly and adjustment.

How to find the right edition

Search or browse for your exact model, then compare the serial number on your machine's identification plate with the serial prefix or range shown in the product title. The same model can be built in several versions, and each version can have its own procedures and parts. If you cannot find your machine, contact us with the model and serial number and we will check for you.
