Milton CAT 770 - Manual (Page 20)

Product Safety. Caterpillar has been and
continues to be proactive in developing
machines that meet or exceed safety
standards. Safety is an integral part
of all machine and systems designs.
Integral ROPS Cab. Resiliently mounted
to the frame to reduce vibration and sound,
the integral ROPS structure, which
provides “five-sided protection” for the
operator, is designed as an extension of
the truck frame.
Payload Guidelines. Safety is integral to
maintaining the highest productivity in
mining machine operation. The Caterpillar
10/10/20 Payload Guidelines ensures
that steering and braking systems have
sufficient capacity to perform.
WAVS Camera (Optional). An optional
rear vision camera system provides
visibility to the rear of the machine
through an LCD monitor in the cab.
The monitor an be set to activate only
when the truck is in reverse, and the
display is equipped with a sensor to
detect ambient light, which automatically
brightens or dims the display.
Brake Systems. Cat hydraulically
controlled dry front and rear oil-cooled
multiple disc brakes provide exceptional,
fade-resistant braking and retarding for
maximum performance and productivity
in all haul-road conditions. The service
brakes and retarding system are actuated
by modulated hydraulic pressure, while
secondary and parking brake functions are
spring applied and hydraulic released.
This reliable and durable system ensures
braking in the event of complete
hydraulic failure.
Steering System. A twin, double-acting
cylinder steering system is designed to
deliver precise control under all loading
and underfoot conditions. The steering
hydraulic system is separate from the
main hydraulic system to prevent
crosscontamination and overheating.
Engine Shutoff Switch. A secondary
engine shutoff switch is located at
ground level.
Electrical System Disconnect. A battery
disconnect switch, located directly above
the front bumper, provides ground-level
lockout of the electrical system.
Ladder/Secondary Egress. Wide
stationary stairways and platforms on
both sides of the machine, allow easy
ingress and egress.
