Milton CAT 450E - Manual (Page 8)

Cat C4.4 Diesel Engine. The Cat C4.4
engine meets all U.S. EPA Tier 3/
EU Stage III emissions requirements.
It delivers high horsepower, increased
torque rise and reliable power with low
emissions. It provides excellent fuel
economy and system durability.
Direct Injection Fuel System. Individual
unit fuel injectors deliver efficient and
accurate fuel metering and reduced
emissions. The water separator service
indicator ensures the operator is alerted
when service is necessary.
Enhanced Roading Speed. Maximum
roading speed has been increased to
40 km/h (25 mph) for faster travel
between jobsites.
Air Cleaner. A dry-type axial seal air
cleaner with automatic, integrated dust
ejection system provides more efficient
pre-separation. The two-stage air filter
incorporates both air cleaner and
precleaner functions into a single
unit mounted under the hood.
New Axles. New heavy-duty axles are
designed specifically for demanding
backhoe loader applications. Features
include outboard planetary gear sets and
brakes for serviceability and longer life.
Auto-Shift Transmission. The standard
automatic transmission matches gears
with grade and load conditions. Top gear
is selected with the twist grip control on
the steering column. At the touch of a
switch, manual mode gives the operator
control over gear selection, as a power
shift transmission.
Transmission Kick-Down Switch/
Neutralizer. Located on the loader
control, the kick-down switch allows
the operator to downshift through the
gears. When this switch is depressed
for more than one second, it serves as
the transmission neutralizer to maintain
engine and hydraulic speed when
truck loading.
Standard Four Wheel Drive (4WD).
Heavy-duty front drive axle can be
engaged at any time by activating the
switch on the front console. The switch
can be activated while the machine is
stopped or moving, with or without
load. 4WD features outboard planetary
gear final drives and improves mobility
and loader performance in poor traction
conditions.
Brake Mode Selector. The brake
mode selector switch has three positions:
two wheel drive, two wheel drive with
all wheel braking and all wheel drive.
Center position provides two wheel
drive for better tire life while roading
and engages the front axle when brakes
are applied for improved braking
performance.
