Power Train – Engine
The Cat® C13 ACERT™ engine is built for power, reliability and efficiency.
ACERT Technology
The Cat® C13 ACERT™ engine continues the evolutionary, incremental improvements that provide
breakthrough engine technology built on systems and components developed by Caterpillar with
provenreliability. The engine is available with either U.S. EPA Tier 3/EU Stage IIIA equivalent emission
configurations orU.S.EPA Tier 4 Interim/EU Stage IIIB certified emission configurations to meet the
needs ofcontractors around the world.
Emissions
Machines equipped with engines meeting U.S. EPA Tier 4 Interim/EU Stage IIIB emission standards are
equipped with a Cat Clean Emission Module to deliver the performance and efficiency that customers
demand while meeting emission requirements. Machines equipped with the U.S. EPA Tier 3/EU StageIIIA
equivalent engines are equipped with a muffler in place of the Cat Clean Emission Module.
Cat Clean Emission Module (CEM)
CEM is an exhaust aftertreatment package consisting of a diesel particulate filter, and control systems.
The CEM reduces particulate emissions using passive and active regeneration during normal engine operation.
Cat NOx Reduction System (NRS)
The Cat NOx Reduction System (NRS) captures and cools a small quantity of exhaust gas, then routes it
into the combustion chamber where it drives down combustion temperatures and reduces NOx emissions.
Diesel Particulate Filter Regeneration
Regeneration is the removal of soot from the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). The Aftertreatment
Regeneration Device (ARD) is used to regenerate the DPF. The DPF traps both particulates and ash,
the ash is removed at regular service intervals.

Power Train – Transmission
More power to the ground for greater productivity.
Electronic Transmission
The Cat eight-speed forward one-speed reverse Electronic
Clutch Pressure Controlled (ECPC) transmission features
enhanced shift control logic with anti-hunt shift strategy
forspeed continuity, and to ensure constant shift times.
• Tractor gears 1-2 – converter drive for increased torque,
gears 3-8 – direct-drive for drive train efficiency.
• Transmission Hold maintains converter drive for
maximum rimpull or holds current gear for best control.
• Programmable Top Gear manually sets top gear
available (3rd-8th) to match conditions or speed.
• Neutral Coast Inhibitor prevents transmission shifts
intoneutral while moving.
Smooth Transmission Gear Shifting
The 623H features ECPC Shift Torque Management (STM),
with improved Shift Control Logic (SCL) and Part Throttle
Shifting (PTS). These features allow smoother shifting and
greater acceleration on grades while torque is maintained
through the shift changes. SCL also provides automatic
shiftselection that is more specific to the desired machine
operation, and downshifts when needed for maximum
acceleration when increased throttle is applied. PTS allows
shifting at lower speeds during part throttle operation,
resulting in improved part throttle fuel economy, quieter
machine operation, and better maneuvering in reduced
speedoperating conditions.
Brake Performance
The 623H uses hydraulically-actuated wet disc brakes for
exceptional brake performance. The standard Cat Engine
Brake reduces brake wear and enhances machine control.

Lockout Switch
An operator-selectable lockout switch, located on the joystick, locks the cushion hitch down for
improved control of the cutting edge during loading and dumping.
Nitrogen Accumulator
Vertically mounted hydraulic cylinder transfers road shocks to nitrogen accumulators.
Nitrogenaccumulator absorbs and dampens road shocks, thus preventing the loads from
beingtransmitted to the hitch components or to the operator.
Non-Metallic Fenders and Fuel Tank
The new fuel tank is made of recyclable roto-milled polyethylene and keeps the fuel cleaner with
controlled filtration and cleanout access ports. The new capacity of the new fuel tank has been
increased, providing operators with 10 plus hour shifts depending on engine load factors.
The new tractor fenders are made of the same highly durable, roto-milled polyethylene.
The non-metallic fenders prevent material buildup when operating in sticky materials.

Scraper Bowl
Caterpillar designed and built for rugged performance and reliability.
Redesigned Bowl
The structure of the bowl sidewalls, ejector and floor have been improved for improved durability.
Newfloor door rollers are used for longer life. The bowl uses a low profile design offering low resistance
to incoming materials.
Ejection System
The powerful ejection system provides constant spreading control while minimizing carryback material.
The floor of the bowl retracts as the ejector moves forward, allowing the operator to precisely control
the flow of material.
Cutting Edges and Cat Ground Engaging Tools (GET)
A variety of Ground Engaging Tools (G.E.T.) options are available to optimize the machine for
different material typesand loading conditions. GET options include standard, serrated, and Abrasion
Resistant Material (ARM). Most are reversible to provide long life and reduced operating costs.
Contactyour Cat dealer to learn more about the best tools for your applications.
Material Application
The 623H is ideal for windrowing, blending material as wellas breaking up vegetation in
strippingoperations.

Page 9
Elevator
The stronger elevator makes the 623H capable of far more than finish work.
Material Handling
The elevator lifts material off of the cutting edge and carries
it to the top of the elevator and then dumps the material into
the bowl. Blending the material helps eliminate voids in the
bowl for consistent payloads and uneven loading.
Closed Loop Elevator Hydraulic System
The 623H elevator power has been increased by a new
variable displacement piston pump and fixed displacement
motor in a closed-loop circuit. The increased power enables
the operator to take deeper cuts and load in a shorter
distance with less elevator stall.
Redesigned Elevator Structures
The 623H elevator and chain life has been improved through
structural improvements to the elevator structure. Wear plates
are used in place of rollers for reduced chain stretch.
New Elevator Controls
The elevator is engaged with a thumb roller on the joystick.
The operator can choose one of seven forward and four reverse
speeds to match the speed that best matches the material.
Chain Adjustment
Serviceability is enhanced through a new chain adjustment
mechanism. The new scissors-style chain adjuster uses a
simple tool to tighten the chain in 2.54 cm (1.0 in) increments.
Elevator Flights
The life of the 15 elevator flights is improved in abrasive
materials through the addition of high-strength, wear-resistant
steel on the face of each flight.

Integrated Technologies
Technology options to improve operator comfort and increase productivity.
Sequence Assist
Sequence Assist uses integrated software and position-sensing
cylinders to automate many of the tasks an operator performs
when loading, hauling and dumping. The operator simply
sets preferences for bowl and apron height and subsequently
pushes a button to ready the machine for loading, then
hauling, then dumping, and then the return to cut. The system
automatically sets the cushion hitch, bowl height, ejector and
elevator. Sequence Assist comes with a convenient load
counter for tracking material moved.
With Sequence Assist, up to 14 individual implement and
machine commands are replaced by four touches of a button,
allowing the operator additional time to prepare for the
loading cycle and observation of the job site.
Cat Grade Control
Cat Grade Control is an automatic system that helps you
control costs by moving the maximum amount of material
with the prime earthmover which often provides the lowest
cost per unit of material moved. Using satellite positioning
technology, the automatic system ensures cut protection by
limiting how deep the scraper will dig. The optional system
isavailable from the factory and fully integrated into the
machine and works seamlessly with Sequence Assist.
Additional benefits of Cat Grade Control include putting the
site plan in front of the operator for increased efficiency and
elimination of rework and using the scraper for site mapping.

Work Area Vision System (WAVS)
Cameras on the machine provide views of the cutting edge,
right side and rear. The system enhances safety and provides
a new way to see the cutting edge during loading and to see
to the rear of the machine when performing push-load or
push-pull work with another scraper.

Safety
Safety is an integral part of all machine and system designs.
Powered Access Ladder
A new powered access system option significantly reduces the effort required to climb into the cab.
Thesystem is a solid, stable angled ladder that folds out from underneath the cab. It is activated from a
keypad located behind a service door at ground level. Controls are also located in the cab on a keypad.
The ladder provides a rigid and angled base of support for easier climbing and descent. For added safety,
the steps are illuminated by LED lights.
An actuator under the cab operates the step. When not in use, the ladder retracts under the cab. An audible
alarm sounds if the machine moves while the ladder is down. If power fails on the machine, the operator
can raise or lower the steps manually using a lever inside the cab or outside next to the ladder’s top step.
Access and Egress
Handrails and grab irons are provided for safe and secure entrance and exit of the cab as well as for
performing daily maintenance.
Work Area Vision System (WAVS)
Cameras on the machine provide views of the cutting edge, right side and rear. The system enhances
safety and provides a new way to see the cutting edge during loading and to see to the rear of the
machine when performing push-load or push-pull work with another scraper.
