1 Exceptional All-Around Viewing Area.
The large viewing area reduces strain
and fatigue, making operators more
productive. With the rear vision camera
attachment, the operator can more easily
see what is behind the machine by way
of an in-cab monitor.
2 Caterpillar®Monitoring System.
With electronic analog gauges, the
Caterpillar Monitoring System 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 threelevel 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.
The operator can easily downshift or
upshift to a different gear with the kick
up/down button. It is a convenient way
to shift that saves time and effort.
4 Ignition Key Start/Stop Switch.
The ignition key/switch is positioned
for easy machine starting and stopping.
5 12-Volt Power Supply and Electronic
Technician (Cat ET) Diagnostics.
The power supply inside the cab can
power 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. The steering column
adjusts to multiple positions. A leatherlike 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.
Conveniently located blade controls
allow for precise blade movement.
8 Operator Seat. The 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.
9 Built-In Storage Space. Conveniently
located storage is designed to hold
cups, lunch box, insulated bottle and
personal items.
10 Air Vents. Vents located throughout
the cab keep fresh air flowing while
improving the cab’s heating, cooling,
defrosting and defogging capabilities.
11 Throttle Lock. With throttle lock,
the operator can set the engine speed
and remove his foot from the governor
(accelerator) pedal much like cruise
control in an automobile. Using this
feature increases productivity, fuel
efficiency and improves operator comfort.
12 Decelerator Pedal. The decelerator
pedal on the left acts as both a brake
and an engine decelerator to override
the engine speed selected by the throttle
lock. This enables the operator to slow
down when the throttle lock is engaged
and to return to throttle lock without
pressing a button. This aids in
maneuvering around trucks, tractors
or any other obstacle.
13 Windshield Washers/Wipers.
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.
Radio Ready. The radio ready cab
includes a 12-volt converter (2-amp),
speakers, antenna, all wiring and
brackets for entertainment or
communications radio installation.
