[. . . ] RM-500 Rotary Mixer Cat® C15 Engine with ACERTTM Technology Gross Power (SAE J1995) 403 kW 2438 mm Rotor Width Rotor Depth (maximum) 508 mm 540 hp 96" 20" Operating Weight (with ROPS, Cab and Universal rotor) 28 145 kg 62, 060 lb Productivity, Serviceability and Comfort in a Durable Package The new RM-500 offers enhanced production capabilities, optimized performance, simplified service and exceptional operator comfort. C15 Engine with ACERTTM Technology ACERT Technology works at the point of combustion to optimize engine performance and provide low exhaust emissions. Electronically controlled on-demand variable speed cooling fan provides the lowest overall noise levels and high ambient operation capability. Page 4 Operator's Station Ergonomic design emphasizes comfort, visibility and easy operation. Isolated operator's station with heavy-duty rubber mounts reduce machine vibration transmitted to the operator. [. . . ] Forward or reverse operation increases machine versatility in soil stabilization. Visual site gauge on rotor hood displays door position and allows the operator to precisely control the opening of the front door. 9 Rotor Selection Choice of three rotor designs for different applications and depth specifications. Tools are mounted in drive-in, knock-out holders for quick and easy replacement. 200 point-attack carbide-tipped tools are mounted in drive-in, knock-out bolt-on tool holders and arranged in a chevron pattern for maximum breakout force. Breakaway design tool holders allow for fast replacement without welding. Kicker paddles placed on every stand-off improves mixing in soil stabilization and provides more efficient material movement in full depth reclamation. Triple-tree tool placement on rotor ends cleans up loose material and reduces wear on drum when maneuvering in the cut. Maximum depth is 406 mm (16"). Triple-tree tool placement. Soil Rotor Designed primarily for use in soil stabilization. 238 point-attack carbide-tipped tools are mounted in drive-in, knock-out weld-on tool holders and arranged in a chevron pattern for maximum breakout force. Versatile applications ­ blends additives with cohesive, semi-cohesive or granular materials. Maximum depth is 508 mm (20"). Combination Rotor Designed primarily for use in soil stabilization with a secondary application in light cuts of asphalt reclamation. 114 point-attack carbide-tipped tools are mounted in drive-in, knock-out bolt-on breakaway tool holders and arranged in a chevron pattern for maximum breakout force. Versatile applications ­ intended for applications where material gradation is of less importance and where higher working speeds are desired. Maximum depth is 508 mm (20"). 10 Serviceability Less time on maintenance means more time on the job. Hydraulic rotor hood tilt rotates hood forward for convenient access to rotor for inspection and tool maintenance. Hinged service doors open wide on sides of engine, rotor hood and on top deck for access to power train and rotor drive components. Self-lubricating rotor drive chains in sealed chain cases partially filled with oil. Electronic Control Module (ECM) monitors machine systems and provides self-diagnostics for operator or service personnel. Three warning levels alert operator to conditions on the machine that require attention. Level One ­ a flashing gauge indicator and a flashing alert indicator light. Level Two ­ level one warning plus the warning action lamp flashing. Level Three ­ level two warning plus the warning action horn sounds. Visual indicators allow easy check of engine coolant, hydraulic oil level, rotor bearing reservoir and air restriction indicator. [. . . ] Spring-applied/hydraulically released multiple disc type brake mounted on each gear reducer. Secondary brakes are activated by a button on the operator's console, loss of hydraulic pressure in the brake circuit or when the engine is shut down. Propel lever must be returned to neutral after brake is released before machine will propel. Parking Brake Features I I RM-500 specifications 13 Electrical The 24-volt electrical system consists of two maintenance-free Cat batteries. Electrical wiring is color-coded, numbered, wrapped in vinyl-coated nylon braid and labeled with component identifiers. [. . . ]
