Serviceability
Less time on maintenance means more time on the job.
Hydraulic rotor hood tilt rotates hood
forward for convenient access to rotor
for inspection and tool maintenance.
Hinged service doors open wide on
sides of engine, rotor hood and on top
deck for access to power train and rotor
drive components.
Self-lubricating rotor drive chains in
sealed chain cases partially filled with
oil.
Electronic Control Module (ECM)
monitors machine systems and provides
self-diagnostics for operator or service
personnel.
Three warning levels alert operator to
conditions on the machine that require
attention. Encourages repair before
major failure.
Level One – a flashing gauge indicator
and a flashing alert indicator light.
Level Two – level one warning plus the
warning action lamp flashing.
Level Three – level two warning plus
the warning action horn sounds.
Visual indicators allow easy check of
engine coolant, hydraulic oil level, rotor
bearing reservoir and air restriction
indicator.
Quick-connect hydraulic test ports
simplify system diagnostics.
Ecology drains provide an
environmental method to drain fluids.
They are included on the radiator,
engine oil pan, hydraulic and fuel tank.
S•O•S SM ports allow for simple fluid
collection of engine oil, engine coolant
and hydraulic oil.
Secure hose routing with polyethylene
routing blocks to reduce rubbing and
increase service life.
Nylon braided wrap and all-weather
connectors ensure electrical system
integrity. Electrical wiring is color-
coded, numbered and labeled with
component identifiers to simplify
troubleshooting.
Maintenance-free Caterpillar batteries
are mounted on the side of the machine
and are accessible from ground level.
Cat batteries are specifically designed
for maximum cranking power and
protection against vibration.
Machine is Product Link wire-ready.
The Caterpillar Product Link System
(CPLS) ensures maximum uptime and
minimum repair costs by simplifying
tracking of equipment fleets. Provides
automatic machine location and hour
updates. Can be obtained through your
local Caterpillar dealer.
The one-piece fiberglass hood tilts
forward for exceptional access to the
engine and cooling package. Daily
service points are accessible from
ground level and are grouped on one
side of the engine. Lower side panels
open wide for even greater access.
Cooling package is single plane design
for easy access during cleaning and
service. A modular, stacked cooling
system provides more efficient cooling
of individual systems and makes
replacement and routine cleaning easier.
Electronically controlled on-demand
variable speed cooling fan provides the
lowest overall noise levels and high
ambient operation capability.
