User manual CATERPILLAR GH1600 BROCHURE

[. . . ] The GH1600 features an updated in-dash display with new functionalities. An improved Advisor Monitoring System tracks machine operating conditions in real time. An integrated grade control system display mount puts job site data conveniently in front of the operator. Operators will enjoy comfort features like standard air-ride suspension seat, adjustable arm rests and well-positioned air vents. [. . . ] These features are especially useful when back lling or rough grading. Operators can select from a variety of settings, and can override the automatic shift features at any time. 5 Implement and Steering Controls Ergonomically designed for ease of operation Steering and Transmission Control A new steering tiller is ergonomically designed to improve operator comfort. The new thumb roller on the steering control shifts the electronically controlled powershift transmission. The tiller allows precise steering in close areas with the nest modulation in the industry. Dozer Control Lever The GH1600 features an ergonomically designed dozer lever with low effort, electro-hydraulic controls for added operator comfort, ease of operation and precise work tool control. Features such as blade response, blade oat, auto blade pitch and spread rate can be set up and adjusted using the Advisor panel. When equipped, single-handle convenience also controls functions like AccuGrade, Auto Blade Assist, AutoCarryTM, Cat Grade Control and Dual Tilt. Electronic Ripper Control A rigidly mounted handgrip provides rm support for the operator even when ripping in the roughest terrain. Programmable features like Auto Lift, Shank-Out, Auto Stow and Automatic Ripper Control help increase operator ef ciency. Throttle Rocker Switch One touch of the throttle rocker switch automatically adjusts engine speed to high or low idle. A new feature allows the operator to press and hold until desired engine speed is reached, then release for the machine to maintain the new chosen speed. 6 Work Tools Bulldozers Equipped for versatility Blades are made of high tensile strength steel with a strong box-section design to stand up to the most severe applications. Heavy moldboard construction and hardened bolt-on cutting edges and end bits add strength and durability. High-Capacity Universal, Semi-Universal and Angle Blades are available, as well as special con gurations for coal and woodchip stockpile applications. Optional Dual Tilt Dual Tilt improves load control and allows the operator to optimize the blade pitch angle for better balance and productivity. The operator can tilt the blade forward during each pass for better penetration, then tilt it back to increase carrying capacity. Rippers The standard GH1600 implement valve incorporates the components necessary to install a ripper, helping to improve versatility and resale value. An optional Reversing Fan can be set to change air ow direction, ef ciently removing debris from the cooling cores without the operator leaving the cab. To improve core serviceability, the cooling package also includes air wand or brush access slots. The ROPS mounted air conditioning system works with the reversing fan for optimum fan purging and ambient cooling capability. Undercarriage Engineered for performance The GH1600 features the Cat elevated sprocket design that isolates nal drives, axles, and steering components from harsh impacts. The modular design aids serviceability to help reduce maintenance costs. A variety of undercarriage con gurations and track shoe designs help optimize performance and undercarriage life. Heavy Duty Undercarriage with Positive Pin Retention Moderate Service Sealed and Lubricated Track (SALT) is standard. This undercarriage is well suited to aggressive applications like land clearing, side-slopes, or working in rocky or uneven terrain. Components are designed for extended wear life in abrasive conditions and high impact applications. SystemOneTM Undercarriage is available as an option and can help reduce total undercarriage owning and operating costs in many applications. SystemOne features lifetime sealed and lubricated cartridges to eliminate bushing turns, and sprockets require no replacement during the life of the chain. All SystemOne undercarriage components are designed to work and wear as a system for longer track life. Engineered for maximum production and service life Structures The GH1600 mainframe is built industry-leading tough ­ heavy steel castings, full box section frame rails and continuous rolled sections on top and bottom frame rails provide the strength to absorb high impact shock loads and twisting forces.
