Cat®C9 ACERT Engine. Delivers, at a
rated speed of 2,100 rpm, net power
of 173 kW (232 hp) and meets the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
Tier 3 emissions regulations and
Stage IIIA EU Emissions Directive
97/68/EC. With high horsepower and
low displacement, this innovative engine
provides excellent fuel economy and
durability which can significantly
reduce operating costs.

Torque Rise. Is increased as a result of
the electronically controlled, computer­actuated unit injection fuel system that
provides high injection pressure and
more precisely controlled fuel delivery
as the engine lugs back from rated speed.

ADEM™ IV Fuel System. Is a Caterpillar

®

electronic control module which provides
improved engine response, performance,
fuel efficiency, troubleshooting
diagnostics and reduced emissions.
It allows integration with the electronic
transmission control for maximum
power train efficiency.

Turbocharger. Packs more dense air
into the cylinders for more complete
combustion and lower emissions,
improving performance and engine
efficiency. These benefits are especially
useful at high altitudes.

Air-to-Air Aftercooler. Reduces smoke
and emissions by providing cooler
inlet air for more efficient combustion.
This also extends the life of the piston
rings and bore.

Dual Cooling Jets. In the block spray
oil on the piston skirt and cylinder
bores keep ring temperatures low for
long ring and liner life with excellent
oil control.

Pistons. Are two piece articulated-type
with forged steel crowns for excellent
strength and aluminum skirts for
reduced weight. The pistons are oil
cooled for increased heat dissipation
and longer life.

Valves. Four per cylinder allow for
good air flow, enhancing fuel efficiency
and heat rejection. Valves and unit
injection system are camshaft-actuated
for precise timing.

The 815F Series 2 delivers top performance, durability and reliability.

Power Train

Crankshaft. Is steel-forged, carburized

and induction-hardened for long-term
durability. It is dynamically balanced
for smooth operation. The crankshaft
is completely regrindable, and the
connecting rods can be removed
through the tops of the cylinders for
easy servicing.

Cat Engine Oil. Is formulated to optimize
engine life and performance and is
strongly recommended for use in
Cat diesel engines. Engine oil change
interval is 500 hours.

Cat Remanufactured Parts. Are available,
along with dealer proposed repair options,
which increase machine availability and
reduce total repair costs.

Cat Planetary Powershift Transmission.

Features heavy-duty components to
handle tough jobs. The 345.4 mm
(13.6 in) planet drives operate in all
gears, forward and reverse. The addition
of Electronic Clutch Pressure Control
(ECPC) contributes to improved shift
quality, reduced torque spikes and
overall transmission durability.

Heavy-Duty Axles and Brakes.

Are designed to last in all kinds of
operating conditions. Two front axle
disc brakes provide improved braking
capability and better heat dissipation.
Planetary final drives use free-floating,
bronze sleeve bearings in the planet gears.

• Oil disc brakes are adjustment-free
and fully enclosed to lock out
contaminants.

Front Axle. Is rigidly mounted to the
frame to support the weight of the
compactor, internal torque loads
and external loads applied during
compacting and dozing operations.

Rear Axle. Includes a trunnion,
two trunnion supports and associated
bearings, allowing it to oscillate plus
or minus 12 degrees.

Four Piece Axle. Contains two axle
shaft housings – the center housing and
the intermediate housing. Features and
benefits of this design include:

• Inboard brakes on the front axle only
are positioned immediately adjacent
to the differential and operate on
the low torque side of the final drive,
requiring less braking to stop the
machine.

5

Structure Construction. Combines the use
of robotic welding on up to 90 percent
of the 815F Series 2 with castings in
several areas to increase strength by
helping spread the loads and reduce
the number of parts. This provides
highly consistent welds with deep plate
penetration and excellent plate fusion.
The benefits are increased durability
and fatigue strength. The computer
controlled machining ensures the
alignment of pin bore, axle pad,
cab mount and transmission/engine
components.

Box Section Engine Frame. Designed to
resist twisting and torsional forces, the
box section engine end frame provides
a solid foundation for the axles, engine
and transmission.

Front Frame. With two plates provides
maximum structural strength during
compaction and dozing applications.

Spread Hitch Design. Improves load
distribution by reducing loads to the
hitch bearings. The large center hitch
design improves hydraulic line routing
and makes service access easier.

Upper and Lower Hitch Pins.

Pivot on double-tapered roller bearings.
Box-style sections in the hitch pins and
crossmember assembly improve frame
structure strength. Increased diameter
lower hitch pins add to the robust design.

Engine and Transmission Mounts.

With rubber isolation mount design
reduces noise and vibration.

6

Structures

Enhanced design and materials provide superior strength to the purpose built structures
of the 815F Series 2.

Wheel Design. Gives the operator four­wheel width coverage in just two passes
with front and rear wheel tracking that
eliminates gaps and overlaps.

Chevron Tamping Wheel Tip Design.

Is used for equal compaction in forward
or reverse. Tips are full perimeter and
are replaceable. The tip is welded to a
base assembly, which is then welded
directly to the drum. There are 12 tips
per row and 60 tips per wheel for
excellent compaction.

Symmetrical Tamping Wheel Tip
Pattern. Has a modified chevron tamping

wheel tip design to provide greater
ground pressure, more compaction,
a smooth ride and excellent traction.
Tip height is 190 mm (7.5 in) and
width is 168 mm (6.6 in).

Cleaner Bars. Help keep the drums free
of carry-over dirt regardless of rolling
direction. A pass-through bolt design
allows for easier serviceability.

Adjustable Cleaner Bar Tip.

Are constructed from cutting edge steel
that is heat treated and direct hardened,
which increases the wear life and
translates into lower operating costs.

Compaction. Is achieved from the bottom
of the lift to the top. The tapered pads walk
out of the lift without “fluffing” the soil.
The top of the lift is compacted and the
surface is relatively smooth and sealed
so hauling units are able to maintain a
high speed when traveling over the fill.
815F Series 2 travel speed allows for
four forces of compaction: pressure,
manipulation, impact and vibration.
Since it can also spread fill, the number
of spreader tractors may be able to
be reduced.

1 Exceptional All-Around Viewing Area.

Reduces strain and fatigue, making
operators more productive.

2 Caterpillar®Monitoring System.

With electronic analog gauges is a
highly effective and reliable warning
and diagnostic system.

As a warning system, it constantly
checks machine functions and tells
the operator when there is a problem.
Easy-to-read gauges display fuel level,
temperatures for engine coolant,
transmission and hydraulic oil, engine
rpm and gear range. Hour meter,
odometer and analog tachometer
readings are also displayed.

As a diagnostic system, it identifies
conditions, shows current readings and
plays back maximum or highest readings
registered during recent operations.

The right side panel contains a three
level warning system, providing
full-time monitoring of key functions.
The system alerts the operator of
immediate or impending problems with
air inlet temperature, brake oil pressure,
electrical system, low voltage, engine
oil pressure, engine over-speed, fuel
filter status, parking brake status,
steering oil pressure and transmission
filter status.

3 Quick Gear Kick Up/Down Button.

Allows the operator easily downshift
or upshift to a different gear. It is a
convenient way to shift that saves time
and effort.

4 Ignition Key Start/Stop Switch.

Is positioned for easy machine starting
and stopping.

5 12-Volt Power Supply and Electronic
Technician (Cat ET) Diagnostics.

Is provided inside the cab for powering
radios, telephones or a laptop computer.
This is particularly useful for powering
a laptop running Cat ET to access the
enhanced engine and transmission
control system diagnostics.

6 Steering Column. Adjusts to multiple
positions. The leather-like steering
wheel and transmission control
provide a sure grip and comfortable
feel. The horn is conveniently located
in the center of the steering wheel.

7 Pilot-Operated Blade Controls.

Are conveniently located and allow
for precise blade movement.

8 Operator Seat. Is designed for comfort
and support. Seat cushions reduce
pressure on the lower back and thighs
while allowing unrestricted arm and
leg movement.

• A fully adjustable air suspension
seat with self-contained compressor
is available as an option.

9 Built-In Storage Space. Is designed
to hold cups, lunch box, insulated bottle
and personal items.

10 Repositioned Vents. Throughout
the cab keep fresh air flowing while
improving the cab’s heating, cooling,
defrost and defog capability.

11 Throttle Lock. Allows an operator
to set the engine speed and remove his
foot from the governor (accelerator)
pedal much like cruise control on an
automobile. Using this feature increases
productivity, fuel efficiency and
improves operator comfort.

12 Decelerator Pedal. On the left acts as
both an engine decelerator and a brake
that overrides the engine speed selected
by the throttle lock. This enables the
operator to slow down when throttle
lock is engaged and to return to throttle
lock without pressing a button. It aids
in maneuvering around scrapers, haul
trucks, tractors or any other obstacle.

13 Windshield Washers/Wipers.

With in-the-blade washer delivery
system are standard features on front
and rear windows. The front wiper has
intermittent speed capability.

14 Rear Vision Camera Monitor.

Connected to a camera mounted on
the radiator guard, this monitor allows
the operator to see the area behind
the machine.

9

Blade Package. Consists of the blade,
push-arms, trunnion mounting, dozer­length skid plate with replaceable wear
plates, reversible cutting edges, self­sharpening end bits, hydraulic lines
guard and hydraulic lift cylinders.

Operator Controls. The tilt cylinder is an
option that gives the 815F Series 2 more
versatility when dozing. The controls
are seat-mounted and located in a
convenient location to the right of
the operator.

Outside Mounted Straight Blade.

With multiple box section construction
includes a heat treated moldboard and
DH-2™ steel cutting edges and end bits
for long life. The outside mounting is a
stronger design because stresses are put
on the frame rather than the blade so
blade flexing is reduced. It also allows
for higher lift and a wider blade can be
used than with an inside mounted design.

Applications. The 815F Series 2 excels
at compacting, spreading fill, backfilling
and boosting scrapers. With the ability to
work at higher speeds over other types
of soil compactors, the 815F Series 2
can keep up with a fast-moving scraper
fleet or an articulated truck hauling
operation. When speed and dozing
capability are required job duties for
a soil compactor, the 815F Series 2
has no equal.

10

Blade

Multiple box-section construction with heat-treated moldboard and DH-2 steel cutting edges
and end bits contribute to long blade life.

Rear Vision Camera. Uses a camera
mounted on the radiator guard and
a monitor in the cab to allow the
operator to see the area directly
behind the machine.

Air Suspension Seat. Provides added
comfort for the operator so productivity
stays high.

Air Conditioner. Uses blended air and
R134a refrigerant for immediate
temperature changes.

Radios. Several radio options are
available factory installed: AM/FM CD
or AM/FM CD with satellite radio
(a service contract is required from
a satellite radio provider).

Product Link. Allows the customer
and/or dealer to monitor the machine
from a remote location.

Rear No-SPIN Differential. Replaces the
rear standard differential. It delivers
maximum traction in low traction or
inconsistent ground conditions.

Fast Fill Adapter. Used during peak
periods when high production is needed
and little down time can be afforded for
fueling. Fuel is pumped into the tank
through a filling nozzle at rates up to

378.5 liters (100 gallons) per minute.

As fuel enters the tank, air is forced
out through an open vent. When the
tank is full, the vent closes and the
filling nozzle automatically shuts off.

High Speed Oil Change. Uses an
evacuation system to speed up the
engine oil change which helps to
reduce the service time.

Turbine Pre-Cleaner Group. Replaces
the standard stratatube air cleaner with
a turbine-style air intake cleaner which
is useful in dry, dusty work conditions.

Heavy Duty Cleaner Bar Tips. The shape
of these tips enables them to penetrate the
wheel more efficiently than the standard
cleaner bar tips, thereby reducing
wheel drag and improving machine
performance. Constructed from cutting
edge steel used for blades and buckets,
this high alloy steel is heat treated and
direct hardened, which increases tip
wear life by up to 240 percent over
other designs in sticky, abrasive soil
applications.

High Intensity Discharge (HID) Lights.

Adds four lights on the cab and two on
the radiator guard to brighten up the
work area. HID lights are two times
brighter than the standard halogen lights.

Note: These lights will be available
mid-2007.
