Milton CAT 993K - Manual (Page 13)

Ease of Operation. The main control
panel on the 993K is located to the right
of the operator’s seat, keeping everything
within reach of the operator. All switches
and controls are conveniently placed
to allow efficiency and improved
productivity all while minimizing
operator fatigue.
Special attention was paid to implement
control effort and location. The implement
controls are fully adjustable and seat
mounted to allow the operator to set
the controls to their size. With operator
repetitive motions, fatigue is minimized
with low-effort implement controls.
VISIBILITY. The 993K provides excellent
visibility to both the front and rear of
the machine. The cab has been raised
two feet for better visibility to the truck
body. Wipers with intermittent feature
on both front and back keep the windows
clean in any condition. The cab roof has
channels that direct rain off the corners
of the cab, helping keep windows clear.
Rear Vision Camera. An optional rear
vision camera is available to clearly
monitor movement behind the
wheel loader.
Windshield Cleaning Package.
A windshield cleaning package
provides additional steps and handrails
to provide easy access for cleaning
the front windows.
Additional optional features that
enhance visibility include high intensity
discharge (HID) lighting package and
rotating warning beacons.
ERGONOMICS. Caterpillar understands
that wheel loaders work in some of the
harshest environments. By controlling
normal machine vibrations and sound
levels, operator efficiency and productivity
are improved. From the ground up, the
Cat 993K is designed with many features
(standard and optional) that reduce
vibration.
• When working, the noise inside
and outside the 993K cab has been
lowered with an operator sound
level of 72 dB(A)
• Ride Control is an option designed
to reduce jolting and bouncing
during load and carry operations.
An accumulator acts as a shock
absorber to reduce machine pitching
and provide a smoother ride over
rough terrain
• Electronically controlled, automatic
kickouts provide a smooth modulated
cylinder stop throughout the
digging cycle.
• Air suspension seat-mounted
implement controls reduce vertical
vibrations that come up through
the floor
All these features minimize operator
fatigue, resulting in operator comfort
and productivity.
