• The power ratings apply at an engine speed of 1,700 rpm when
tested under the conditions for the specied standard in effect at
the time of manufacture.
• The net power advertised is the power available at the ywheel
when the engine is equipped with alternator, air cleaner, mufer,
and fan at minimum speed.
• Net power when the fan is at maximum speed is 327 kW (439 hp)
per the SAE reference conditions.
• The C15 engine meets U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final, EU Stage V, Korea
Tier 4 Final, and Japan 2014 emissionstandards.
• DEF used in Cat SCR systems must meet the requirements
outlined in the International Organization for Standardization
(ISO) standard ISO 22241-1. Requirements are met by many
brands of DEF, including those that carry the AdBlue or
APIcertications.

Sound Levels
Interior Cab72 dB(A)
• The declared dynamic operator sound pressure level is 72 dB(A)
when ISO 6396:2008 is used to measure the value for an enclosed
cab. The measurement was conducted at 70% of the cooling fan’s
maximum speed. The sound level may vary at different cooling
fan speeds. The measurement was conducted with the cab doors
and the cab windows closed. The cab was properly installed and
maintained.
• Hearing protection may be needed when operating with an
open operator station and cab or when not properly maintained
or with doors/windows open for extended periods or in noisy
environments.
• The air conditioning system on this machine contains the
uorinated greenhouse gas refrigerant R134a (Global Warming
Potential = 1430). The system contains 1.1 kg of refrigerant
which has a CO2 equivalent of 1.716 metric tonnes.

An optimum system match gives you a major productivity advantage. The 740GC is an excellent match for the Cat 374 and 352 Hydraulic Excavators and Cat 972M, 966M,
and 962M Wheel Loaders. Having matched loading and hauling tools results in increased production and lower system costs per unit of volume moved.

Gradeability/Speed/Rimpull
To determine performance, read from Standard Gross Weight down to Total Resistance %. Total Resistance equals actual % grade plus 1% for
each 10 kg/metric ton (20 lb/ton) of Rolling Resistance. From this point, read horizontally to the curve with the highest attainable speed range.
Then, go down to Speed. Usable Rimpull depends on traction available.
To determine performance, read from Gross Machine Weight down to % Effective Grade. Effective Grade equals actual % favorable grade plus
1% for each 10 kg/metric ton (20 lb/ton) of Rolling Resistance. From this point, read horizontally to the curve with the highest attainable speed
range. Then, go down to Speed. Retarding effect on these curves represents full application of the retarder.
