User manual CATERPILLAR 308E CR SB BROCHURE

[. . . ] · Pattern control changer is located under the floor mat. Monitor Display Newly designed LCD monitor is located to give a clear view of the machine's monitoring system, ensuring fuel level, water temperature and warning lights are easily seen. Compact Radius More versatile in tight areas. · The compact radius design provides greater versatility and capability to work within confined areas. The radius of the upper body stays close to the width of the undercarriage allowing the operator to concentrate on the work at hand, rather than the tail swing of the machine. · Cab door is curved and shaped to follow the line of the cab, it slides open taking up less space than a hinged door. This design maintains the machine's compact dimensions reducing the risk of damage. 3 · Jobsite flexibility with a reduced risk of damage and less stress for the operator add up to higher rates of productivity. Performance Powerful digging with precise control. Hydraulics Smooth responsive hydraulics give the level of control demanded by the customer in any application, from fine grading and dozing to backfilling. [. . . ] Powerful bucket and stick digging forces combined with fast cycle times result in world class productivity and performance. Automatic two speed function improves jobsite maneuverability with precise control by balancing travel speed with the torque needed for turning and traveling on inclines. Dozer blade float function enables easy ground levelling for landscaping and finish grade applications as well as more efficient jobsite clean-up. Economy mode can be selected with the in-cab LCD monitor and provides better fuel efficiency in a platform well suited for less experienced operators. Controls Joystick mounted auxiliary and boom swing control enhances machine controllability. The levers and dozer function ensure "as new" levels of controllability are maintained throughout the machine life. Lift Capacity The new Caterpillar D-Series has industry leading lift capacity matched with outstanding stability in a compact radius package. This provides the on-site versatility required to match the diverse and continually changing needs of the customer. Stick and Boom A choice of standard or long, thumb ready sticks enable the customer to match the machine's digging envelope to their requirements. The boom options feature a fixed boom to maximize stability and lifting and a swing boom design that maximizes reach. The swing boom also allows the operator to trench parallel to tracks, dig close to structures and dig a box-section without repositioning the undercarriage. Engine Clean, quiet and efficient. · Interim Tier 4 turbocharged engine gives higher power and maintains strong performance at high altitude. · High digging forces give power through even the most compacted ground with smooth control and responsive hydraulics that deliver productivity that our customers demand. · Load sensing hydraulics optimize the flow of oil for smooth powerful performance and increased fuel economy. Stability is maximized due to the rigid rubber pads that bolt to the track chain. The thick rubber pads are individually serviceable, minimizing work site damage and provide long wear life. Rubber Pads Offered through the dealer parts system, the 450 mm (18 in) wide shoe has four holes that attach rubber pads to the track. This option will prevent damage to paved road surfaces minimizing noise and vibration during travel with a standard steel track system. Blade Widths The dozer blade is an important tool used for backfilling trenches, levelling, landscaping, lifting and jobsite clean-up. The standard 2320 mm (91 in) blade comes with a replaceable weld-on dozer wear edge and the optional 2470 mm (97 in) blade comes with a replaceable bolt-on dozer wear edge. Both blades are constructed of hardened steel for longer life and extreme dozing ability. Tie-down Points Tie-down points are located on the blade and undercarriage for easy and safe machine tie down for transportation. 6 Serviceability Easy access and minimal maintenance requirements keep your machine on the job. Robust, reliable and easily serviceable are the key attributes of Cat® Mini Hydraulic Excavators. Full steel body work panels and protected front linkage lines are routed neatly out of the way of potential damage above the boom. Easy access to all daily service points are accessed through the rear hood and side cover. A 500 hour engine oil change period lowers operating costs and the Cat S·O·SSM points assist easy oil sampling for preventative maintenance checks. Product Link The optional Product Link system simplifies equipment fleet tracking. Using satellite or cellular technology, the system automatically reports information such as location, machine hours, active and logged service codes and security alarms. Machine Security System An optional Machine Security System (MSS) that utilizes a programmable key system deters theft, vandalism and unauthorized usage. MSS uses electronically coded keys selected by the customer to limit usage by individuals or time parameters. Customer Support Unmatched support makes the difference. Your Cat dealer is ready to assist you with your purchase decision and everything after.
