[. . . ] EPA Tier 4 Interim/EU Stage IIIB emission standards. Operator Station Visibility Comfort, productivity, advanced technology. Angled cab doors, a tapered engine enclosure and patented sloped rear window assure excellent visibility to the work area. Maximum Control, Maximum Comfort Caterpillar has built the most comfortable cab in the industry, replacing the control levers and steering wheel with two joystick controls, and lengthening the cab for more leg room. Machine design features, like angled doors, provide excellent visibility. Operator Comfort The Cat Comfort Series suspension seat and arm/wrist rests are fully adjustable for improved comfort and productivity. Extra leg room, easy-to-reach long-life rocker switches and revolutionary joystick controls make this the most comfortable cab in the industry. Standard HVAC system The high capacity system dehumidifies and pressurizes the cab, circulates fresh air, seals out dust and keeps windows clear. Low Interior Sound and Vibration Levels Multiple isolation mounts along with relocated hydraulic pump and valves significantly improve operator comfort and productivity. In-Dash Instrument Cluster Easy-to-read, high-visibility gauges and warning lamps keep the operator aware of critical system information. 3 Steering and Implement Controls Unprecedented precision and ease of operation. Ease of Operation Two electro-hydraulic joysticks require up to 78% less hand and wrist movement than conventional lever controls for greatly enhanced operator comfort and efficiency. The intuitive control pattern allows both new and experienced operators to quickly become productive. [. . . ] The spring-applied, hydraulically released multidisc parking brake, sealed and oil-cooled for long life and low service, is integrated into the Operator Presence System to prevent unintended machine movement. 6 Structures and DCM Service ease and precise blade control. Heavy Duty Durability The frame, drawbar and one-piece forged steel circle are designed for durability in heavy duty applications. The front 240° of circle teeth are hardened to reduce wear and ensure component reliability. Articulation Hitch A large tapered roller bearing at the lower pivot carries loads evenly and smoothly. Sealed to prevent contamination, a locking pin prevents articulation for safety during service or transport. Aggressive Blade Angle Allows material to roll more freely along the blade, particularly dry materials or cohesive soils. Better material control gets the job done faster, requires less power and saves fuel. Fast, Easy Adjustment Means Tight Components Shims and patented top-adjust wear strips are easy to add or replace, dramatically reducing downtime and operating costs. Durable nylon composite wear inserts maximize circle torque and component life. Sacrificial brass wear strips between the blade mounting group and moldboard can be replaced easily. Shimless Moldboard Retention System uses vertical and horizontal adjusting screws to keep moldboard wear strips aligned for reduced blade chatter, precise blade control and dramatic reductions in service time. Moldboard Heat-treated rails, hardened cutting edges and end bits, and heavy duty bolts assure reliability and long service life. By floating both cylinders, the blade can follow the contours of the road, especially useful when removing snow. Floating only one cylinder permits the toe of the blade to follow a hard surface while the operator controls the slope with the other lift cylinder. Independent Oil Supply Large, separate hydraulic oil supplies prevent cross-contamination and provide proper oil cooling, which reduces heat build-up and extends component life. Load Sensing Hydraulics (PPPC) The proven load-sensing system and the advanced Proportional Priority Pressure-Compensating (PPPC or "triple P ­ C") electro-hydraulic valves provide superior implement control and enhanced machine performance in all applications. Continuously matching hydraulic flow/pressure to power demands creates less heat and reduces power consumption. · · Consistent, Predictable Movement ­ PPPC valves have different flow rates for the head (red) and rod ends (blue) of the cylinder, ensuring consistent extension and retraction speeds. Balanced Flow ­ Hydraulic flow is proportioned so all implements operate simultaneously with little effect on the engine or implement speeds. 9 Integrated Technologies Solutions to make work easier and more efficient. Cat Grade Control Cross Slope Cross Slope is a factory installed machine control and guidance system that allows for accurate and real-time positioning of the moldboard without off-machine infrastructure. Harnesses, sensors and the in-cab display are fully integrated into the machine so the system is ready to work from the factory. The system helps the operator more easily achieve the desired cross slope by automating one end of the blade. The system also helps save time and materials so that even less experienced operators can achieve better results, more quickly. The system is designed for easy scalability, supporting all two- and three-dimensional upgrades to be fully compatible with all AccuGradeTM kits. AccuGrade Ready Option Optional factory-installed brackets and hardware make the grader ready for dealer installation of the AccuGrade grade control system. Installation is simplified, and integration of the components provides greater protection to enhance system reliability. Cat AccuGrade AccuGrade is a dealer-installed blade control system which enables operators to cut and fill to grade with increased accuracy, minimizing the need for traditional survey stakes and grade checkers. AccuGrade includes Cross Slope, Sonic, Laser, Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and/or Universal Total Station (UTS) technologies to automatically control the blade. In-cab displays show precise elevation and real-time cut/fill information. More accurate blade positioning helps operators get to grade faster, with fewer passes than ever before. The AccuGrade System significantly improves grading productivity and accuracy by as much as 50 percent over conventional methods. Cat Product Link* Remote monitoring with Product Link improves overall fleet management effectiveness. Events and diagnostic codes, as well as hours, fuel, idle time and other detailed information are transmitted to a secure web based application, VisionLinkTM.
