This is the full Caterpillar SIS repair set for the 301.5, 301.6 and 301.8 mini excavators (serial prefixes 3YW1-Up, BDH1-Up and BFA1-Up), built from RENR2808 Machine Systems, the RENR2803 Engine Supplement and the SENR5022/5023/5027 engine manuals for the Cat 3003, 3013, 3014 and 3024 diesels. These are mechanical machines, so everything gets diagnosed the old way: pressure gauges and a stopwatch against printed specs. The book gives you those numbers - main relief at 19100 +/- 500 kPa for boom and stick, pilot pressure at 3400 +/- 300 kPa, boom cycle times to the tenth of a second. Hydraulic schematics for all three models, plus disassembly and assembly for pumps, motors, swivel, cylinders and the complete engine.
