Milton CAT 289C Series2 - Manual (Page 5)

Power Train
Aggressive performance with fuel efficiency.
Cat Engine
The high performance power train provides high engine horsepower and torque.
The machines feature the Cat C3.4 DIT engine – a rugged, reliable engine that
meets U.S. EPA Tier 4 Interim/EU Stage IIIA emission requirements.
Hand and Foot Throttles
Hand and foot throttles allow the operator to match engine speed to the task.
The hand throttle is ideal for jobs requiring constant engine speed such as cold
planing, trenching or snow blowing. The foot throttle lets the operator vary
engine speed and minimize fuel consumption for other tasks such as load and
carry, truck loading, grading and dozing.
Electronic Torque Management
The Electronic Torque Management system maximizes power to the ground and
prevents the engine from stalling in tough digging and dozing applications for
maximum productivity. The system allows part throttle operation which provides
smoother machine operation and reduces fuel consumption.
Selectable Work Speed Control
The optional Selectable Work Speed Control lets you select the ground speed
that is best suited for the application. This feature is useful in operations such as
trenching and cold planing that require precise machine control at relatively slow
and constant speeds.
Selectable Hystat Response Control
The optional Selectable Hystat Response Control lets the operator select one of
three modes to match the machine’s drive response to the operator’s preference,
skill level and application requirements.
Lift
Linkages
Built for tough
working conditions.
Choice of Lift Designs
Two types of lifting arrangements are
available – vertical lift (path #1 above)
and radial lift (path #2) – to meet your
specific application needs.
Vertical Lift
The 287C Series 2 features the vertical
lift design which provides extended reach
and lift height for quick and easy truck
loading and material placement. The lift
height is 3239 mm (127 in) on the
289C Series 2.
Radial Lift
The 279C Series 2, with its radial
lift design, delivers excellent digging
performance and superior mid-lift reach.
