User manual CATERPILLAR MD1001 P BROCHURE

[. . . ] 6 Electronic Controls Electronic controls improve machine response and provide advanced diagnostic capabilities that result in better machine availability. The Product Link option allows remote monitoring of location, machine system status, and alert indicators. 7 Elevator Mechanism The elevator mechanism conditions material as it works, lifting material off the cutting edge and carrying it to the top of the load for true self-loading capability. The MD1001 P is ideal for windrowing, blending material as well as breaking up vegetation in stripping operations. [. . . ] Outboard-mounted, planetary design final drives reduce torque loads on the other power train components. Large-capacity, doublerow roller bearings and Caterpillar Duo-Cone® seals deliver exceptional reliability in the toughest applications. Transmission. Electronically controlled Caterpillar planetary powershift transmission with eight forward and one reverse speed. Tractor gears 1 & 2 operate in converter drive for increased torque capability during cut and fill operations. Gears 3-8 operate in directdrive for drive train efficiency during the haul. Provides larger contact area between gears than countershaft transmissions for greater load-carrying capacity. Neutral Coast Inhibitor. Neutral coast inhibitor prevents the transmission from shifting into neutral if the operator selects neutral while moving, as well as maintaining the flow of the transmission fluid. Allows the operator to maintain converter drive for increased rimpull, or hold the current gear for enhanced control. Allows the operator to manually set the top gear (3rd ­ 8th) available to match conditions or to match the hauling speed of the fleet to specific job-site needs. 6 Electronic Controls Instant response optimizes machine performance, and advanced diagnostic capabilities maximize machine availability. Simplified System. The electrical system has been redesigned to utilize three electronic control modules (ECM) on the tractor instead of four. Electronic control module monitors air filter restriction and sends a warning message to the electronic monitoring system to alert the operator if the restriction exceeds the allowable limit. Convenient storage location includes space for a lunch box and first aid kit. The cab also has a cup holder as well as an ashtray. · 8 Visibility. Hood and front shroud width increased to accommodate the low emission engine, the air-to-air aftercooler (ATAAC), ether starting aid, and lights. Vertically mounted hydraulic cylinder transfers road shocks to nitrogen accumulators. Nitrogen accumulators absorb and dampen road shocks, thus reducing the loads from being transmitted to the operator. An operator-selectable lockout switch, located on the joystick, locks the cushion hitch for improved control of the cutting edge during loading and dumping. 10 Scraper Bowl Designed for optimum loading, material retention and ejection. Redesigned Bowl. Excellent productivity with a 10% increase in bowl capacity from the F series, improved draft arm protection, and better load retention. Low-profile design of the bowl offers less resistance to incoming materials, while cellular construction adds strength and dent resistance to bowl sides and floor. Combines constant spreading control while minimizing carryback material. The floor of the bowl retracts as the ejector moves forward, allowing the operator to precisely control the flow of material. Cutting Edges. For most efficient loading, use the thinnest edge that provides satisfactory wear life and impact resistance. [. . . ] Diagnostic codes are accessible through the EMS main display module, via the Cat ET. Relaying this information to the service technician can let him know which tools, troubleshooting guides, and possibly even replacement parts to bring to the machine. SAFETY. CAT.
