Caterpillar Brake System
Reliable braking with superior control gives the operator the confidence to focus on productivity.
Integrated Braking System. The Cat oilcooled braking system delivers reliable performance and control in the most extreme underground mining conditions. The integrated system combines the service, secondary, parking brake and retarding functions in the same robust system for optimum braking efficiency. Caterpillar four-wheel, forced oil-cooled, multiple disc service brakes are continuously cooled by a water-to-oil heat exchanger for exceptional, nonfade braking and retarding performance. Cat oil-cooled disc brakes are designed with large discs and plates for reliable, adjustment-free operation and performance. Brakes are completely enclosed and sealed to prevent contamination and reduce maintenance. This design absorbs the braking forces by shearing the oil molecules and carrying heat away to extend brake life. Electronically controls retarding on grade to maintain optimum engine rpm and oil cooling. Additional braking may be applied using the manual retarder or the brake pedal. ARC allows the operator to maintain optimum engine speeds for faster downhill hauls and greater productivity. Automatic brake modulation offers a smoother ride and better control in slippery conditions, allowing the operator to concentrate on driving.

Ease of Operation. ARC increases operating ease, resulting in greater operator confidence with less fatigue. Automatically activates ARC when engine speed exceeds factory preset levels, regardless of operator inputs, to avoid potentially damaging engine overspeeds.
Fuel Efficiency. The engine provides additional retarding by running against compression on downhill hauls. During retarding applications the engine ECM reduces fuel injection to minimum value or exceptional fuel economy.

Operator's Station
Ergonomically designed for operator comfort, superior control and high productivity.
Steering Column. Comfort wheel with tilt steering provides a comfortable driving position, secure grip and greater control. Caterpillar Electronic Monitoring System (CEMS) continuously provides critical machine data to keep the machine performing at top production levels. Maintains a constant display of vital machine functions, including: engine coolant temperature, brake oil temperature, engine oil pressure and fuel level. Monitors three systems: engine speed, ground speed and gear indicator. The Caterpillar Electronic Monitoring System (CEMS) includes 4 warning categories and provides visual and audible warning system outputs to alert operators of abnormal machine health conditions.

Gradeability/Speed/Rimpull
To determine gradeability performance: Read from gross weight down to the percent of total resistance. Total resistance equals actual percent grade plus rolling resistance as a general guide use 2% for rolling resistance in underground application or refer to the Cat Performance Handbook. [. . . ]
