User manual CATERPILLAR CS-433E BROCHURE

[. . . ] Machines with the open ROPS/FOPS platform are surrounded by handrails and features foot rests for sure footing when working on a grade. Page 7 Productivity and reliability you can depend on. Durable, field-proven powertrain and vibratory systems along with the world's largest and most dedicated dealer support system ensure the 400E-Series Soil Compactors will provide maximum utilization. With exceptional productivity and reliability, the 400E-Series Soil Compactors provide everything you expect from a Caterpillar machine and more! 2 CS-433E and CP-433E Soil Compactors The CS-433E and CP-433E Soil Compactors provide maximum productivity and versatility for both smooth and padfoot drum applications. Powered by the turbocharged, 75 kW (100 hp) Caterpillar 3054C engine, these machines provide exceptional compaction performance in demanding applications. Visibility The one-piece sloped hood design provides exceptional operator visibility to the outside edge of the rear tires and to the rear of the machine. [. . . ] Single lever control for propel and vibratory On/Off provides simple and low effort operation. Comfortable and durable seat has adjustable fore/aft position, bottom cushion height, suspension stiffness and flip-up arm rests. Isolated operator's station with heavyduty rubber mounts reduce machine vibration transmitted to the operator. Rubber floor mat helps further isolate the operator from machine vibration and noise. 7 ROPS/FOPS Cab Optional cab can increase machine utilization and provides greater year-round comfort in extreme environment conditions. The cab is a spacious and comfortable work environment that includes large windows, more interior room with storage areas, a cup holder, better ergonomics and low noise levels. Full-length glass windshield provides exceptional visibility to the drum and optional leveling blade. Included with cab are two exterior rear view mirrors, front and rear working lights and cab lift cylinder. Windshield wipers on front and rear windows allow good vision in adverse conditions. Climate control with standard heater and defroster for maximum operator comfort. Optional air conditioning helps keep the cab cool and comfortable. Padfoot Shell Kit Optional padfoot shell kit expands the application range of the CS-423E and CS-433E to work in either cohesive or semi-cohesive material. Expands machine versatility and utilization while providing a simple and cost-effective solution for jobs that may require both padfoot and smooth drum compaction. Dual-purpose bumper is also included with the shell kit and does not need to be removed once installed. Bumper also provides adjustable scraper teeth for use with the padfoot shell kit and adjustable scraper plates for use with the standard smooth drum. When the scraper plates are not being used, they can be bolted onto the front of the bumper for convenient storage. Padfoot shell halves can be quickly and easily installed or removed in about an hour with the use of an approved lifting device. Two-piece shell kit features a total of 92 pads with a pad height of 90 mm (3. 5"). 8 Padfoot Drum and Scrapers Padfoot drum provides superior performance when compacting cohesive materials. The padfoot drum has 108 pads welded on the drum in a chevron arrangement. Each pad is 90 mm (3. 5") high and has a pad face surface area of 63. 8 cm2 (9. 9 in2) to achieve high ground contact pressure for maximum compaction. The pads are involuted in shape to walk out of the lift without fluffing or "kicking up" the soil around the pads. Secure hose routing with polyethylene routing blocks to reduce rubbing and increase service life. Nylon braided wrap and all-weather connectors ensure electrical system integrity. Electrical wiring is colorcoded, numbered and labeled with component identifiers to simplify troubleshooting. Maintenance-free Caterpillar batteries are mounted in the rear of the machine and are protected by the engine hood. Caterpillar batteries are specifically designed for maximum cranking power and protection against vibration. The Caterpillar Product Link System (CPLS) ensures maximum uptime and minimum repair costs by simplifying tracking of equipment fleets. [. . . ] Articulation area is structurally reinforced and joined by hardened steel pins. One vertical pin provides a steering angle of ± 37° and a horizontal pin allows frame oscillation of ± 15°. The articulation lock prevents machine articulation when placed in the locked position. Frame also includes tie-down points for transport. Steering A priority-demand hydraulic powerassist steering system provides smooth low-effort steering. [. . . ]
