[. . . ] MEUI-C injectors have an improved fuel shut off response time, saving fuel and reducing emissions. For customers purchasing trucks outside of North America, Caterpillar offers emission controls similar to those used for Tier 2/Stage II regulations. 8 G Series Body Strategy Caterpillar has made it easier to get the right body for your materials and job site needs. Adding a steel or rubber liner is optional for those applications when you are working with highly abrasive or high impact materials. Two additional liner packages are available from the factory: · A 16 mm (0. 62 in), 400 BNH steel liner · A 102 mm (4. 01 in) rubber liner · Sideboards are optional from the factory for the flat floor or dual slope bodies. · A body heat diverter kit is optional for both dual slope and flat floor bodies You will find additional body specifications at the back of this document. Bodies to meet your application and material needs 1 2 Caterpillar's 10/10/20 Policy Caterpillar's 10/10/20 Payload Guidelines are in place to help you maximize component life and the availability of your truck. For optimum body life, Caterpillar recommends that 110% payloads occur no more than 10% of the time and that the average of all loads equal the nominal payload. Payloads in excess of 120% of nominal exceed the truck's design parameters. 1) Dual Slope 2) Flat Floor 9 Machine Information and Monitoring Lowering your cost per ton with vital fleet information Your G Series truck has the ability to communicate (and receive) valuable information. As a tire approaches its temperature limits, the operator gets a warning inside the cab. This Caterpillar exclusive feature is an important tool in your efforts to extend tire life. NOTE: TKPH (TMPH) is a measure of the tire's temperature limits to prevent reverse vulcanization of the tire and the associated damage. Cat Product Link Cat Product Link allows remote monitoring of equipment to improve 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. VisionLink includes powerful tools to convey information to users and dealers, including mapping, working and idle time, fuel level and more. Please consult your Cat dealer for availability. 11 Serviceability Clean, convenient, time-saving solutions G Series will introduce time-saving service improvements to simplify monitoring and maintaining machine fluid levels, help keep your site clean and reduce your costs associated with service. Fluid Fill Service Center A new optional fluid fill service center is located on the right front side of the machine. Technicians can check the level of all machine fluids including: · · · · · Transmission/torque converter hydraulic oil Hoist/Brake hydraulic oil Diesel fuel Engine oil Engine coolant A lighted keypad will indicate three green lights if the fluid level is full, two green lights if the fluid level is at normal levels, and one light if fluid should be added. Cab Fluid Level Monitoring The fluid levels cannot be checked in the cab via the Advisor screen options menu. All the fluids are being monitored but will only indicate to the operator when the level is below a safe operating level. Electrical Service Center An Electrical Service Center is also at ground level located on the right front bumper of the machine. Breaker ­ Main Electrical 12 Brake Wear Indicator G Series trucks will come equipped from the factory with a simple, time-saving brake wear indicator on the left rear wheel that provides technicians with a visible indicator for rear break wear levels. Filters Due to improved hydraulic system updates which have made the system more efficient, Caterpillar is able to extend hydraulic filter life to 1, 000 hours under normal operating conditions. All engine filters are conveniently grouped and easily accessible. Fuel The 773G fuel tank is now larger (795 L or 210 gallons), to extend running time. The tank includes two new sight gauges that levels at ¼ full and ¾ full. Note that Tier 4 Final equipped machines require ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel and low ash engine oil. Cab Air Filter Precleaner An optional cab precleaner is available for air filters. This option can significantly extend your cab filter life and service intervals. [. . . ] NOTE: Select the proper gear to maintain engine rpm at the highest possible level, without overspeeding the engine. If cooling oil overheats, reduce ground speed to allow transmission to shift to the next lower speed range.

Total resistance equals actual percent grade plus 1% for each 10 kg/t (20 lb/ton) of rolling resistance. From this weight-resistance point, read horizontally to the curve with the highest obtainable gear, then down to maximum speed. [. . . ]
