Milton CAT M316D - Manual (Page 7)

Interior Operator Station. Improved
visibility and ergonomics are some of
the many new features of the D-Series
Wheel Excavators. The pressurized
operator station provides maximum
space and is designed for simplicity and
functionality. Frequently used switches
are centralized and are situated on the
right-hand switch console. The left-hand
seat console controls dozer blade and/or
outriggers, and is tiltable for easy access
to the cab. The fully automatic climate
control adjusts temperature and air flow
for exceptional operator comfort. Other
comfort features include a cigar lighter,
ashtray, drink/bottle holder, magazine
rack and integrated mobile phone holder.
Cab Construction. The exterior design
uses thick steel tubing along the bottom
perimeter of the cab, improving the
resistance to fatigue and vibration.
This design allows the falling object
guards to be bolted directly to the cab.
The cab shell is attached to the frame
with rubber mounts that limit vibration
and sound transmitted from the frame,
substantially reducing interior
noise levels.
Viewing Area. To maximize visibility,
all glass is affixed directly to the cab,
eliminating the use of window frames.
Choice of fixed or easy-to-open split
front windshield meets operator
preference and application conditions.
• The 50/50 split front windshield
allows both upper and lower portions
to be stored in an overhead position
and features the one-touch action
release system.
• The 70/30 split front windshield
stores the upper portion above the
operator. The lower front windshield
features a rounded design to maximize
downward visibility and improves
wiper coverage. Also features the
one-touch action release system.
• The fixed front windshield comes with
high impact resistant laminated glass.
• A unique large skylight without
cross bar provides superb upward
visibility. The retractable sunscreen
blocks direct sunlight.
Monitor. The new compact color monitor
displays information in local language
that is easy to read and understanding.
Functions include:
– 5 programmable “Quick Access”
buttons for one-touch selection of
favorite functions.
– Filter and oil change warnings are
displayed when the number of hours
reaches the maintenance interval.
– Tool select function allows the
operator to select up to 10 pre-defined
hydraulic work tools.
– Adjustable braking characteristics
enable the operator to select three levels
of travel motor retarder aggressiveness
when releasing the travel pedal.
– Provides a rear camera view that is
activated through the monitor menu.
The optional camera is mounted on
the counterweight.
New Deluxe Seat. The new optional
deluxe seat, equipped with an active
seat climate system, improves operator
comfort. Cooled air flows through the
seat cushions to reduce body perspiration.
On cold days, a two-step seat heater
keeps the operator warm and comfortable.
The fully adjustable seat with adjustable
lumbar support automatically adjusts to
the driver’s weight providing a more
relaxed and comfortable environment.
Heated Mirrors. Another new feature
is electrically heated mirrors, increasing
safety and visibility in cold conditions.
Wipers. The parallel wiper system
maximizes visibility in poor weather
conditions. The wiper virtually covers
the entire front windshield, cleaning
the operator’s immediate line of sight.
Lunch Box. A large, cooled storage
compartment is located behind the
operator’s seat. The compartment
provides sufficient room to store items
such as a lunch box. An optional cover
secures the contents during machine
operation.
Foot Pedals. Two-way pedals for travel
and auxiliary circuits provide increased
floor space, reducing the need to change
positions. The foot pedal for auxiliary
high-pressure circuit can be locked in
the off position and used as a footrest
for greater operator comfort.
