Milton CAT M322D - Manual (Page 11)

Joystick Steering. The unique joystick
steering option enables an operator to
reposition the machine while traveling
in first gear by the use of the slider
switch on the right joystick. This enables
the operator to keep both hands on
the joysticks while simultaneously
moving the implements and traveling.
The operator can do more precise work
faster with increased safety around
the machine.
Tool Control. The integrated Tool Control
system allows the operator to select up to
10 pre-set combinations. This eliminates
the need to re-set the hydraulic parameters
each time a tool is changed. Individual
flow and pressure can be programmed
easily as well as one-way/two-way
hydraulic functions. Each of the
ten-programmed tools can even be
given a specific name. The unique
Cat proportional sliding switches
and optional auxiliary pedal provide
modulation to the tool to make
precision work easy.
Ride Control. New for the D Series, the
ride control system improves operator
comfort and allows the machine to travel
faster over rough terrain with improved
ride quality for the operator. The ride
control system features accumulators
acting as shock absorbers to dampen the
front part motion. Ride control can be
activated through a button located on
the soft switch panel in the cab.
Control Settings. There are 2 selectable
control settings and one automatic
travel setting. The new automatic travel
mode is activated with a button in the
right hand console. In this setting, the
transmission will automatically shift
up or down, depending on the speed
conditions. The operator can choose the
best power setting for both engine and
hydraulic power versus fuel efficiency.
• Economy Mode – used for lifting,
pipe setting, grading, slope finishing
and precise work while reducing
fuel consumption.
• Power Mode – used for normal truck
loading and digging applications,
trenching or hammer use.
• Travel Mode – automatically set
when the travel pedal is actuated.
It provides maximum speed and
drawbar pull.
Product Link. Product Link can assist
with Fleet Management to keep track
of hours, location, security and product
health. The machine is pre-wired to
accept Product Link systems to be
installed in the field. Product Link is
also available as a factory installed
attachment.
Machine Security. An optional Machine
Security System is available from the
factory. This system controls who can
operate the machine when, and utilizes
specific keys to prevent unauthorized
machine use.
