Service Magazine SEPD0707, 03 November 2003, "Information Is Available on the Correct Flash Files for the Wheel Feller Bunchers and the Wheel Skidders". Disregard this article. Use the following information in place of the existing article.

Reference: Service Magazine, SEPD0714, "New Software Improves the Accuracy of the Readings for the Coolant Temperature Sensor". Use the information that is contained in the article in order to determine the correct flash file for your machine if the flash file is not listed in SIS.

Reference: Service Magazine, SEPD0663, "New Software Provides Improvements and Enhancements". Use the information that is contained in the article in order to determine the correct flash file for your machine if the flash file is not listed in SIS.

In the past, the Service Information System (SIS) did not contain tables for the flash files for the Wheel Skidders and the Wheel Feller Bunchers. There have been several changes to the Wheel Skidders and Wheel Feller Bunchers. Some of these changes could cause confusion on the correct software to be used on the models that are listed above.

The Wheel Skidders now use a new version of the Caterpillar Monitoring System which is programmable unlike the previous version of the Caterpillar Monitoring System that was used in the machines.

The new version of the Caterpillar Monitoring System is effective with the 525B S/N:3KZ796 and 875-UP Wheel Skidder, the 535B S/N:AAE583-UP Wheel Skidder, and the 545 S/N:2FZ433 and 438-UP Wheel Skidder. The new version of the Caterpillar Monitoring System is not adaptable to earlier models.

The new version of the Caterpillar Monitoring System was effective with the first production of the 533 S/N:CDR, 543 S/N:ASJ, TK370 S/N:WBD and TK380 S/N:WBE Wheel Feller Bunchers.

( 1 ) The previous version of the Caterpillar Monitoring System is used on these machines. The monitor is not programmable.
( 2 ) The new version of the Caterpillar Monitoring System is used on these machines. The monitor is programmable.
( 3 ) Use on the machines that are equipped with the grapple pressure switch only
( 4 ) The calibration of the torque converter lockup clutch is required.
( 5 ) Use on the machines that are equipped with the grapple pressure sensor only
( 6 ) The calibration of the grapple pressure sensor is required if the machine is equipped with a grapple.

Note: The other flash files that have been used in production are no longer serviced. The files had defects or the files were replaced with software with added features.
