It explains how productivity factors such as weight-to-horsepower, transmission type, speeds, and operating costs should be considered, and clarifies that handbook results require correction for real job conditions. The publication outlines operator training and machine protection practices, includes topics on environment and sustainability, safety regulations, and references owner costs, parts warnings, and key

Factors bearing directly on productivity include such things as weight to horsepower ratio, capacity, type of transmission, speeds and operating costs . The Performance Handbook considers these factors in detail  . There are other less direct machine performance factors for which no tables, charts or graphs are possible . Serviceability, parts availability and operator convenience are examples . In comparing machine performance, all factors should be considered  . This Handbook is intended as an aid which, when coupled with experience and a good knowledge of local conditions, can assist in estimating true machine performance .  \nMany sections of the Handbook include tables or curves showing cycle times or hourly production figures for Cat® machines under certain conditions . Statements of conditions always accompany or precede the curves or tables  . Before using any performance information in this Handbook, a complete understanding of the qualifying conditions is essential  .
