Milton CAT 525C - Manual (Page 11)

Quick-Access Engine Doors. Large,
hinged engine enclosure doors make
regular maintenance as easy and fast as
possible. Easy access to daily service
points increases the likelihood that
maintenance will be done, and increases
machine service life. In addition, less
maintenance time means more working
time and greater productivity.
Ground Level Access. Most filters and
lube points are accessible from the
ground without special tools. Remote
lubrication points make daily attention
to hard-to-reach joints easy.
Rear Frame Access. Steps and grab
irons are located on the rear frame and
cab for easier access to the rear frame,
arch and boom.
Bolt-on Guards. Bolt-on guards offer
protection to critical components,
and are easily removable for servicing.
Removable floor plates and side plates
allow access to components under
the cab.
Radial Seal Air Filters. Hand access
makes them easy to change, reducing
air filter maintenance times.
Extended Oil Service Intervals. A 500-
hour oil change interval reduces
downtime for service and lowers
maintenance costs.
S•O•S SM Fluid Sampling Valves.
Provides a fast, convenient way to
gather uncontaminated fluid samples,
which improves analysis reliability.
Pressure Taps. Conveniently located
for easy access to hydraulic system
pressure measurements.
Spin-on Oil Filters. Simplify maintenance
processes and shorten downtime.
Electronic Transfer Pump. Delivers the
proper fuel flow to the fuel system and
eliminates manual priming.
Ecology Drains. All major fluid
compartments (hydraulic tank, engine
oil pan, radiator, axles and transmission)
incorporate ecology drains to make
regular maintenance easier, and protect
the environment from accidental
oil spills.
Hitch Hoses. The grapple pilot lines,
pressure line and load-sense lines are
routed above the hitch and are bulkheaded
for easy hose replacement and fastest
service. The hitch hoses use the Cat
ToughGuard™ technology and have
excellent wear characteristics.
Electrical System. The 24V electrical
system delivers dependable electrical
power for engine cranking, additional
lighting, and engine diagnostics. Wiring
circuits are color coded, numbered and
protected by circuit breakers.
On-Board Diagnostic Systems.
The Caterpillar Monitoring System
continuously checks all critical machine
functions and components, and helps
locate faults quickly for faster repair.
Extremes are recorded, including fluid
temperatures, engine speed and
electrical system events.
Radiator. Cleanout access doors located
on both sides of the radiator help make
radiator cleanout faster. The radiator
features an all aluminum construction
with 8 fins per inch for easy cleanout.
Matched Set Hitch Bearings. Matched
set bearings come pre-assembled with
the correct pre-load from the supplier
to streamline the assembly process and
ensure a quality hitch joint every time.
No rolling torque measurement is
required, so the assembly process is
simplified. Matched set bearings also
reduce service time in the field.
