Power Train The Cat ® C9 engine with ACERTTM Technology delivers maximum power and combines with Electronic Clutch Pressure Control and planetary powershift transmission to offer superior performance and reliability in heavyduty compaction applications. 4 Structures Tamping Wheels and Tips Advanced design, materials and robotic Tamping wheels, with a modified welding contribute to increased durability chevron pattern for the tips, offer and overall machine strength. The new cast bases make cleaning the wheels easier when moving the 815F Series 2 to a new work site. 7 Serviceability Many convenient service features such as hinged service doors, accessible scheduled maintenance points, conveniently located sight gauges, in-cab blade-type fuses and a separated cooling system make servicing easy. [. . . ] Help keep the drums free of carry-over dirt regardless of rolling direction. Are constructed from cutting edge steel that is heat treated and direct hardened, which increases the wear life and translates into lower operating costs. Compaction. The tapered pads walk out of the lift without "fluffing" the soil. The top of the lift is compacted and the surface is relatively smooth and sealed so hauling units are able to maintain a high speed when traveling over the fill. 815F Series 2 travel speed allows for four forces of compaction: pressure, manipulation, impact and vibration. Since it can also spread fill, the number of spreader tractors may be able to be reduced. 7 Operator Station and Controls Comfort and control. . . with a top quality operator's station productivity is maximized. 1 14 1 1 2 10 10 3 7 11 12 9 13 8 4 5 6 9 8 1 Exceptional All-Around Viewing Area. With electronic analog gauges is a highly effective and reliable warning and diagnostic system. As a warning system, it constantly checks machine functions and tells the operator when there is a problem. Easy-to-read gauges display fuel level, temperatures for engine coolant, transmission and hydraulic oil, engine rpm and gear range. Hour meter, odometer and analog tachometer readings are also displayed. As a diagnostic system, it identifies conditions, shows current readings and plays back maximum or highest readings registered during recent operations. The right side panel contains a three level warning system, providing full-time monitoring of key functions. The system alerts the operator of immediate or impending problems with air inlet temperature, brake oil pressure, electrical system, low voltage, engine oil pressure, engine over-speed, fuel filter status, parking brake status, steering oil pressure and transmission filter status. 3 Quick Gear Kick Up/Down Button. 5 12-Volt Power Supply and Electronic Technician (Cat ET) Diagnostics. Is provided inside the cab for powering radios, telephones or a laptop computer. This is particularly useful for powering a laptop running Cat ET to access the enhanced engine and transmission control system diagnostics. The leather-like steering wheel and transmission control provide a sure grip and comfortable feel. Seat cushions reduce pressure on the lower back and thighs while allowing unrestricted arm and leg movement. · A fully adjustable air suspension seat with self-contained compressor is available as an option. 9 Built-In Storage Space. Is designed to hold cups, lunch box, insulated bottle and personal items. Throughout the cab keep fresh air flowing while improving the cab's heating, cooling, defrost and defog capability. Allows an operator to set the engine speed and remove his foot from the governor (accelerator) pedal much like cruise control on an automobile. [. . . ] Consider the financing options available as well as day-to-day operating costs. Look at dealer services that can be included in the cost of the machine to yield lower equipment owning and operating costs over the long run. Cat dealers offer a variety of product support agreements and work with customers to develop a plan that best meets specific needs. These plans can cover the entire machine, including attachments, to help protect the customer's investment. [. . . ]
