Operator Environment

Safe. Comfortable. Effi cient.

Electro-Hydraulic (EH) Joystick Steering with
Force Feedback (Speed Sensitive)

The industry leading EH joystick steering system combines
operator comfort and precision control to provide a
sustainable work environment for the operator. The system
incorporates a force feedback motor that automatically adjusts
the effort needed to tilt the ergonomic joystick based on
ground speed, resulting in superior control in all applications
and climates. For customers who prefer a steering wheel, an
electro­hydraulic steering wheel is available as an option.

Implement Controls (EH)

Seat mounted single axis implement control levers provide
the operator with precise control of the work tool, all
while moving with the seat for maximum comfort. In cab
programmable kick­outs and automatic cylinder snubbing
maximize operator comfort and productivity throughout
their shift. Optional implement joysticks are available
for 2V and 3V hydraulics.

Seat

The Cat Optimized Seating System is 6­way adjustable to
accommodate operators of all sizes. The seat has a one piece
high back that supports the lumbar area of the back up
through the shoulders. Both armrests are large and can be
adjusted up, down, fore, and aft to enhance comfort and
convenience. An optional feature for the cab seat is a heated
backrest and cushion.

Sound and Vibration

New viscous cab mounts connect the cab to the frame of
the machine, decreasing noise and vibration the operator is
subjected to. This contributes to a well­rested operator, who
remains efficient and productive. All Day. Every Day.

Information Display

The central display panel has a large text box, fi ve analog­
like gauges, and LED warning indicators. The large text box
provides in­language information about machine operation,
feature activation and system troubleshooting and calibration.
With the 5 large analog­type gauges the operator can easily
identify if key systems are within normal operating range.
A resettable trip totals function has been incorporated to
display information for average fuel consumed, total fuel
consumed, idle fuel, idle time, operating hours, odometer, etc.
The navigation buttons are located on the side of the screen
and help assist with set up and other various functions.
