and operator comfort to maximize productivity while providing exceptional product quality.
Vibratory System
Pod-style eccentric weights with more
amplitude selections ensure peak
compaction performance and minimal
service. High dynamic force helps
achieve density in the fewest number
of passes. The standard dual amplitude
system provides excellent versatility for
the contractor with a flip of the switch
from the operator’s console. pg. 5
CB434D XW
The CB434D XW asphalt compactor
includes a 1.70 m drum for increased
lane coverage. This versatile machine
can be equipped with the optional 5Amplitude vibratory system or the
standard dual amplitude system. pg. 4
Engine
Cat 3054C diesel engine delivers
62 kW (84 hp) and is built for
performance and reliability without
sacrificing fuel economy.
The cooling system delivers fresh air
from above the engine for clean and
efficient operation. pg. 4
Water Spray System
The large capacity 800 liter water tank
provides increased working time and
a single point to fill and drain.
Caterpillar’s exclusive dual pump spray
system provides the operator an efficient,
easy access drum watering system.
The tank contains triple water filtration
and infinitely variable spray settings
are additional benefits of the system.
An optional overnight freeze protection
kit is also available. pg. 9
Performance and reliability you can depend on.
Based upon the industry-proven reputation of
the Caterpillar
®
Asphalt Soil Compactors,
the CB400 D-Series establish innovative standards
for productivity and reliability in the asphalt

Serviceability
The one-piece fiberglass hood opens
upward and rearward to allow access to
the engine and daily maintenance
points. Daily check points are
accessible from ground level. Ground
level service is also provided on the
water spray system with pumps, filters,
and drain valves grouped together and
centrally located.
Rear mounted cooling system with fresh
air intake reduces the need for cleaning.
The engine oil change interval is 500
hours. Vibratory bearing lube service
interval of 3 year/3000 hour keeps
maintenance to a minimum and
maximizes production. The articulation
hitch area features sealed-for-life
bearings that reduce the need for
maintenance. pg. 10
Visibility
The one-piece hood design and vertical
folded drum supports provide excellent
operator visibility to important areas
of the machine including drum edges,
drum surfaces, and overall visibility
around the machine. Angled supports
provide high clearance and visibility
for work against barriers and walls.
pg. 8
Operator’s Station
The operator station features excellent
operator comfort and visibility. A tilting
steering column, propel lever wrist rest,
and conveniently located and grouped
control switches and gauges enhance
operator productivity. Heavy-duty
isolation mounts provide
a smooth ride. Machines with the
ROPS/FOPS platform include quick
release handrails that can be
individually adjusted to accommodate
multiple operator positions. For FOPS
protection to be effective, the operator
must be seated under the canopy. pg. 6
Comfort and serviceability you deserve.
The operator’s station provides a comfortable and user friendly
environment that promotes productive operation. Simplified service
access and extended service intervals minimize maintenance time
and increase machine production.

Drum Spray System
Entire drum spray system is corrosionproof and includes a large water tank
with a single fill port and drain valve.
The system consists of two diaphragm
pumps driven by electric motors. Only
one pump operates at time, supplying
pressurized water to both sets of drum
spray bars. Pump operation is controlled
from operator’s station. System
provides complete back-up capability
controlled from operator’s station.
Spray can be set on continuous for
maximum wetting action or intermittent
for maximum duration between fill-ups.
The “Auto” selection pulls water from
one pump traveling forward and from
the other pump while traveling
backward. The water spray system
automatically shuts off when the
machine is in neutral. Nine spray
nozzles per drum are easily removed for
replacement or cleaning without the
need for tools.
