In order to allow equitable parts availability to all participating dealers, please limit your initial parts order to not exceed 11% of dealership population. This is an initial order recommendation only, and the ultimate responsibility for ordering the total number of parts needed to satisfy the program lies with the dealer.
|
Relocate the GNSS reciever away from the engine exhaust. Machines should be reworked to the the same location as production machines. Refer to REHS9108, Special Instruction, "Cat Grade Control GNSS Mast Location And Harness Routing For Certain 349E Excavators", in order to complete this Rework Procedure. |
