Capsule Filter. The hydraulic return filter,
a capsule filter, prevents contaminants
from entering the system when the
hydraulic oil is changed.
Fuel Filters. Cat high efficiency fuel
filters with a Stay-Clean Valve™ features
a special media that removes more than
98 percent of particles, increasing fuel
injector life. Both the primary and
secondary fuel filters are located in the
engine compartment and can be easily
changed from ground level.
New Auto-Lube System. The new
automatic lubrication system provides
the optimal amount of grease to all the
main lubrication points, including the
bucket linkage. The lubrication interval
can be adjusted through the monitor,
and status messages for the auto-lube
system are displayed.
Scheduled Oil Sampling. Caterpillar has
specially developed S•O•S
SM Oil
Sampling Analysis to help ensure better
performance, longer life and increased
customer satisfaction. This thorough
and reliable early warning system
detects traces of metals, dirt and other
contaminants in your engine, axle and
hydraulic oil. It can predict potential
trouble avoiding costly failures. Your
Caterpillar dealer can give you results
and specific recommendations shortly
after receiving your sample.
Engine Oil. Caterpillar engine oil is
formulated to optimize engine life and
performance. The specially formulated
oil is more cost effective and increases
engine oil change interval to 500 hours,
providing industry leading performance
and savings.
Water Separator. The D Series is
equipped with a primary fuel filter with
water separator located in the engine
compartment. For ease of service, the
water separator can be easily accessed
from ground level.
Fuel Tank Drain. The durable,
corrosion-free tank has a remote drain
located at the bottom of the upper frame
to remove water and sediment. The tank
drain with hose connection allows
simple, spill-free fluid draining.
Remote Greasing Blocks. For those
hard to reach locations, greasing
blocks have been provided to reduce
maintenance time. One block is located
in the engine compartment with two
grease points for the swing bearing
and front-end attachment. For the
undercarriage, two remote blocks
provide easy access for greasing the
oscillating axle and, as an option,
the dozer blade.
New LED Rear Lights. Optional Light
Emitting Diode (LED) Rear Lights
replace the standard lights, for increased
visibility on the job site, higher durability
and longer life.
Handrails and Steps. Large handrails
and steps assist the operator in climbing
on and off the machine.
Storage Box. There are two toolboxes
integrated in the steps of the
undercarriage. Additionally, there is a
waterproof storage box integrated into
the upper structure steps.
Anti-Skid Plate. They cover the top of
the steps and upper structure to help
prevent slipping during maintenance.
The Anti-Skid plate reduces the
accumulation of mud on the upper
structure, improving the cleanliness
and safety.
