[. . . ] 2 Visibility The one-piece hood design and vertical folded drum supports provide excellent operator visibility to important areas of the machine including drum edges, drum surfaces, and overall visibility around the machine. Angled supports provide high clearance and visibility for work against barriers and walls. Machines with the ROPS/FOPS platform include quick release handrails that can be individually adjusted to accommodate multiple operator positions. For FOPS protection to be effective, the operator must be seated under the canopy. [. . . ] Gauges and controls move with console keeping them in same relative position to the operator. Fault indication panel is a three-level warning system to alert the operator to abnormal machine conditions with a visual warning and action alarm. The multifunction ergonomic propel handle simplifies operation with the following controls: propel speed, vibe on/off, water spray on/off, horn and drum offset (optional). Standard ASC control greatly simplifies operation by allowing the operator to preset machine speed or impact spacing. The operator can easily match travel speed with vibrations per minute, ensuring consistent and repeatable rolling patterns with effective compaction results. The optional cab is a spacious and comfortable work environment with more interior room, better ergonomics and a dramatic reduction in interior sound levels. Windshield wipers on front and rear windows allow clear vision in adverse conditions. The climate control with standard heater and defroster for maximum operator comfort. Constant or intermittent spray capabilities for longer operation between fill-ups. The intermittent spray is infinitely variable allowing fine-tuning for any condition. High flow water nozzles deliver more water to the drum for unusually dry conditions. Water distribution mats and cocoa mats feature ground level service and are available as options. Two pump system but only one pump operates at a time, doubling pump life in terms of machine hours. Auto pump control setting selects water from one pump while traveling forward and water from the other pump while traveling rearward. Water pumps and in-line filters are conveniently grouped and located in the hitch area for easy service. 1 Single Water Fill Port 2 Spray Nozzle with Filter 3 Water Distribution Mat 4 Water Filter 5 Water Pumps Long-life water pumps. Long-life water pumps are self priming and pressure regulating to provide optimum spray and flow. One single high-capacity polyethylene tank is enclosed within the machine frame, and provides extended operation, a single fill point and drain port. Overnight Freeze Kit (optional) includes an in-line antifreeze bottle that allows the operator to pump antifreeze into the system (not available with cab). 4 5 7 Reliability and Serviceability The CB400 D-Series Asphalt Compactors provide exceptional reliability and serviceability that you've come to expect from Caterpillar. [. . . ] They illuminate if the vibratory system, drum spray system, neutral or parking brake are engaged. Machine controls are also located to the operator's right on the control console. These controls include the start switch with cold-start aid, electric throttle, propel lever, speed selector switch, automatic speed control (ASC) dial, drum spray switch, vibration switch, horn and secondary/parking brake switch. Electrical system fuses and relays are located on the side of the control console. [. . . ]
