Introduction

Edition Seventeen is a comprehensive update to the CTS Handbook in conjunction with the release
of CTSi 1.0. The smaller handbook size is a result of dealer feedback and now fits easily inside the
UWI tool kit. Updates were made to the General Information and the Management and Merchandis-
ing sections. The Introduction sections of each product type were also updated.
Some of the changes you will notice include:
• Undercarriage Codes are no longer utilized with the new CTSi computer program. Instead, the in-
dividual Wear Chart number applicable to the model’s undercarriage component is located be-
neath each chart. UC codes are no longer listed at the front of each product type’s introduction
section of the handbook.
• The machine models and applicable wear charts are up-to-date.
• Classic undercarriage wear charts are now incorporated into the various product type sections.
• The 200 series and ‘E’ series Excavators have been removed from the CTS Handbook. A separate
e-book in PDF format, Media No. PEKP9414, is available for download via the Cat Media Informa-
tion Center (CMIC). These models will still reside in the CTSi computer program.
• Information regarding the new CTS Reports formats that can now be generated in CTSi, including
‘Simple’ and ‘Detailed’ formats (Percent Worn report also includes a ‘Graph’ format).
