Milton CAT 994F - Manual (Page 5)

Advanced Diesel Engine Management.
ADEM™ system controls fuel injector
solenoids to start and stop fuel injection
for superior performance, greater
reliability, cold start protection, automatic
altitude compensation and air filter
restriction indication.
Separate Circuit Aftercooler.
Allows aftercooler circuit to operate
cooler than jacket water temperature
for a denser air charge and greater
combustion.
Ether Starting Aid. Ensures reliable
start-up in extreme cold operating
conditions.
Cat Planetary Power Shift
Transmission. Features heavy duty
components to handle the toughest
jobs. Electronic controls allow smooth
shifting for greater productivity,
durability and longer component life.
Impeller Clutch Torque Converter (ICTC).
Electronically controlled impeller clutch
torque converter provides maximum
flexibility in regulating optimum rimpull
in all conditions for smoother operation.
Inching Capability. Left brake pedal
operation allows the operator to reduce
rimpull to 25% then brake for more
precise inching when approaching a
truck or making directional changes.
Rimpull Control. Allows operator to
adjust maximum rimpull from 100%
down to 90, 85, 75 and 65% using a
four-position dial while in first gear.
Matching rimpull to job conditions
provides greater traction in slippery or
rough conditions for better performance
and longer tire life.
Stable Design. Low mounted heavy-
duty power train components ensure
a stable machine.
Proven Reliability. The 994F power
train has proven itself with the most
reliable and durable components in
the industry for the lowest operating
cost-per-ton.
Torque. Torque is developed at the
wheel, generating less stress and wear
on the axle shafts.
Axles. The front axle is fixed, and the
rear axle oscillates ±10°, which allows
either rear wheel to rise or fall 677 mm
(26.7 in) while all wheels remain on the
ground for maximum stability, greater
traction and a more comfortable ride.
Differentials. Standard conventional
differentials allow one tire to spin faster
than the other, keeping developed
torque out of the axles.
Axle Shafts. Free-floating axle shafts
can be removed independently of the
wheels and planetaries for quick and
easy servicing.
U-Joints. Permanently lubricated for
greater durability and long service life.
Only the slipjoint requires manual
lubrication.
Oil-Cooled Disc Brakes. Four-wheel,
fully hydraulic oil-cooled multiple
disc brakes are completely sealed and
adjustment free. Two brake pedals
allow standard braking with right pedal
plus rimpull modulation braking with
left pedal.
Brake Cooling. The brake oil cooler
provides additional cooling to the brake
discs for greater durability.
Filtration. Screens on the brake circuit
minimize the risk of contamination.
Parking/Secondary Brake. Manual,
spring-applied, multiple dry-disc brake
is located on the front driveline for
protection from contamination.
Monitoring system alerts operator if
transmission is engaged while parking
brake is applied, and if the pressure
drops, the parking brake is
automatically applied.
Engine Cooling. New Generation
Modular Core Radiator (NGMR)
significantly improves heat rejection
through the use of copper cooling cores
and improved flow characteristics.
Final Drives. The all-wheel drive design
features four planet carrier gears with
planetary double reduction in each wheel
for superior reliability. Planetaries can
be removed independently of the wheels
and brakes for quick and easy servicing.
Duo-Cone ® Seals. Seals out dirt and
contamination to extend component life.
