User manual CATERPILLAR PS-360C BROCHURE

[. . . ] Page 5 Ground Contact Pressures Ground contact pressures are measured across the width of the tires. Changing the tire pressure or altering the ballast capacity will allow the PS-360C to meet specific job requirements. Page 9, 10, 11 Serviceability The engine compartment offers easy access to the powertrain components. Routine maintenance points are grouped together and easily accessible though the large engine compartment opening. [. . . ] Instrument panel includes indicators for hour meter, transmission oil temperature, engine coolant temperature, engine oil pressure and fuel level. Multi-position operator station (optional) slides into three different positions and the seat pivots 30° in either direction to provide maximum visibility. Ballast Compartment Ballast options allow the machine to be tailored to specific weight capacities. Maximum operating weight of 25 000 kg (55, 115 lb) provides versatility for thick lifts. Ballast compartments accommodate water, sand or steel in order to provide varying weight capacities. Integrated baffles prevent surges when water ballasted. R Large cover plates on the operator's platform provide fill points for sand or steel. The water fill port can be accessed from ground level. PS -36 0C Bolt-on side cover allows quick removal of sand or steel ballast. Water ballast can be emptied through a drain valve located on the chamber. 5 Serviceability Less time on maintenance means more time on the job. Routine maintenance points are grouped in the engine compartment. Visual restriction indicators for the hydraulic oil filter and air filter. Color-coded and numbered wires wrapped in nylon braid ensure system integrity and help simplify troubleshooting. Grouped pressure taps with quick-connect fittings simplify troubleshooting. Remote lubrication fittings decrease maintenance time. Optional Equipment Standard and optional equipment may vary, contact your Caterpillar dealer for details. Sliding Operator's Station includes a multi-position control console that slides into three locked positions: left, center and right. Suspension Seat is a mechanical seat that has vertical height and weight adjustments with armrests. Speedometer is calibrated in kilometers per hour (km/h) and miles per hour (mph) on an analog dial. Roading Light Package includes taillights and parking lights with flashers. Tire Wetting System allows solvent to be sprayed on the tire surfaces. The system includes a 19 L (5 gal) emulsion tank, electric pump and spray nozzles for each tire. Sun Canopy includes a sheet-metal structure that shields the operator's station from the sun. Heat Retention Shields include a belttype material that traps heat in order to prevent asphalt from adhering to the tire surfaces. Combined Ballast consists of four internal ballast blocks weighing 4064 kg (8, 960 lb), two steel blocks weighing 446 kg (982 lb) that are bolted to the front bumper, and two sets of of 51 mm (2") thick steel ballast plates weighing 3084 kg (6, 600 lb). This option combined with wet sand ballast provides an operating weight of 25 022 kg (55, 115 lb). Spare Tire and Wheel includes a 14/70 x 20, 20-ply tire and rim. 6 Dimensions A B C D E Operating length Compaction width Frame width Wheel base Ground clearance 4. 87 m 2. 28 m 2. 15 m 3. 65 m 252 mm 16' 7' 6" 7' 1" 12' 10" Height at steering wheel F Height at ROPS G Turning radius (outside) Turning radius (inside) Tire overlap 2. 53 m 3. 20 m 6. 7 m 3. 47 m 58 mm 8' 4" 10' 6" 22' 11' 5" 2. 25" G R F B C R E D A Weights (approximate) Operating weight includes lubricants, coolant, 80 kg (175 lb) operator, full fuel tank, and full hydraulic system.

[. . . ] Integrated baffle plates prevent surging when using water ballast. Instrumentation The front control console includes the start switch, alternator indicator light, coolant temperature gauge, engine oil pressure gauge, hydraulic oil temperature gauge and hour meter. The side console includes the propel lever, speed selector switch, spray system controls, horn and secondary brake switch. 8 PS-360C specifications Ballast Considerations and Ground Contact Pressures The most common method of changing ground contact pressure is to vary the tire pressure. Another means to change ground contact pressure is to alter the ballast. The ballast compartments are positioned with a calculated balance of wheel to weight ratio. [. . . ]
