User manual CATERPILLAR FB85 BROCHURE

[. . . ] A display mount is integrated into the dash for a grade control system, placing job site data conveniently in front of the operator. A standard air-ride suspension seat is well padded and adjustable, with bolsters to comfortably restrain operator side-to-side movement when working on grades or slopes. Heating and air conditioning controls are located in the headliner for easy access, and conveniently located air vents evenly distribute airflow within the cab. The cab is pre-wired for a radio and equipped with two speakers, an antenna and a radio mount recessed in the headliner. [. . . ] Delayed Engine Shutdown ­ Delayed Engine Shutdown feature is available to allow the machine to cool immediately after a heavy work load or regeneration cycle. Engine Idle Shutdown Timer ­ An optional Engine Idle Shutdown timer will sound a warning and shut down the engine after the machine has been idling for a pre-set period of time.

Torque Divider A single-stage torque divider sends 70 percent of engine torque through a converter and 30 percent through a direct drive shaft for greater driveline efficiency and higher torque multiplication. This provides an optimum combination of operator efficiency and driveline reliability. Differential Steering System Differential steering maintains full power to both tracks to provide best-in-class turning with a loaded blade. Maneuverability ­ especially with large blade loads ­ is improved, as well as cycle times in some applications. Greater load capacity, power and speed control are possible in soft underfoot conditions on steep slopes because both tracks are powered during turns. Low effort tiller bar, touch shift control and steering modulation ensure ease of operation. Multi Velocity Program This exclusive machine control system allows the operator to choose from five speed ranges in Forward and Reverse to best match machine speed to applications and ground conditions. Operators maximize production, minimize fuel consumption, and reduce overall machine operating costs. Cat Eco Reverse The standard Eco Reverse feature reduces engine speed during the reverse portion of the dozing cycle. Eco Reverse can reduce fuel use by up to 5 percent, depending on the application. 5 Implement and Steering Controls Ergonomically designed for ease of operation Steering and Transmission Control The FB85 utilizes electro-hydraulic differential steering. This steering method controls the direction and degree of turns, forward-reverse shifting, and gear selection in a single control handle, all enhancing operator comfort. A new control handle is ergonomically designed to reduce operator fatigue. The new thumb roller on the steering control shifts the electronically controlled powershift transmission, while the FNR switch controls the machine travel direction. This attachment includes access slots in the side of the radiator guard for cleaning access. A ROPS mounted air conditioner is packaged with the reversing fan attachment for optimum fan purging and ambient capability. Undercarriage Engineered for performance The FB85 features the Caterpillar elevated sprocket design that isolates final drives, axles, and steering components from harsh impacts. The modular design aids serviceability to help reduce maintenance costs. A variety of undercarriage configurations and track shoe designs help optimize performance and undercarriage life. SystemOneTM Undercarriage SystemOne can help reduce total undercarriage owning and operating costs in many applications. Curved or straight ripper shanks are available. Winch A single lever control actuates both clutch and brake functions to help improve operator efficiency. See your Cat dealer for available winch options. Rear Counterweight Optimize balance for backing up steep slopes or increasing performance in heavy dozing applications. Rear counterweights are recommended if another rear attachment is not specified, and are required with VPAT blades. Drawbar The FB85 can be equipped with a drawbar for retrieving other equipment or pulling work tools such as disks, compactors, or chopper wheels. Optional implement towing arrangements allow for quick setup of a hydraulically controlled towed scraper. Sustainability Thinking generations ahead The Cat FB85 is designed to benefit your business, and reduce emissions. · F uel efficient engine, and features like Eco Reverse and a hydraulic demand fan, helps decrease overall fuel consumption. · Technologies like AccuGrade and Product Link help improve overall efficiency, saving fuel and fluids, as well as wear and tear on equipment. · New grab handles, steps, lighting packages and a ground level service center help enhance job site safety. · Major components are built to be rebuilt, eliminating waste and saving customers money by giving the machine and/or major components a second ­ and even third ­ life. 10 Serviceability and Customer Support When uptime counts Enclosures and Guarding Several key engine enclosure panels are hinged or feature tool-less removal for easy access during inspection or service work. [. . . ] Meets appropriate standards as listed below. Brakes Cab · Operating weight includes blade, lubricants, coolant, full fuel tank, standard track, ROPS/FOPS cab, drawbar and operator. · Shipping weight includes blade lift cylinders, lubricants, coolant, ROPS/FOPS cab, standard track and 10% fuel. · The operator sound exposure Leq (equivalent sound pressure) measured according to the dynamic conditions in ISO 6396 is 79 dB(A) for a cab offered by Caterpillar when properly installed and maintained and with doors and windows closed when tested. · Hearing protection may be needed when operating with an open operator station and cab (when not properly maintained or doors/windows open) for extended periods or in noisy environment. · The exterior sound pressure level for a standard machine was measured according to the dynamic conditions in ISO 6395.
