User manual CATERPILLAR 730 BROCHURE

[. . . ] When used together, the differentials provide 100 percent driveline locking. Inter-Axle Differential Lock Locks all three axles in unison and modifies torque distribution for excellent traction in poor underfoot conditions and on grades. It is operated by a switch located at the footrest. Cross-Axle Differential Locks Provides full driveline locking ­ all three axles and all six wheels ­ for maximum performance in the most adverse conditions. [. . . ] The divergent frame design decreases stress in the hitch area and optimizes suspension geometry. The frame design makes maximum use of robotic welding for increased durability. Rear Frame Twin-box construction minimizes stress concentrations and provides low weight with long service life. Suspension The three-point oscillating axle front suspension provides unparalleled ride quality. It also protects the truck from adverse road conditions by absorbing shock loads that would reach the frame. Articulating/Oscillating Hitch The articulating hitch provides the truck with steering articulation, and the oscillation ensures all-wheel ground contact in rough terrain. Hitch Construction Two-piece construction features a durable cast steel head bolted to a hard-wearing forged steel tube. Fast Hoist Cycle Times Fast body raise and lower times mean less time spent in the dump area. Load-Carrying Capacity The 730 has a large target area to provide consistently high load-carrying capacity. Its diverging flow design gives clean load ejection, which maximizes production and avoids the waste of material carry-back. 7 Serviceability More time on production. Long Service Intervals Long engine oil change and hydraulic oil change intervals lower maintenance costs and downtime. Wheel-bearing adjustment is completely eliminated. Lube Points Lube points are grouped at the rear of the front frame and the front of the rear frame. Universal joints are lubed for life, eliminating servicing. Autolube is optional. Service Points Engine and transmission dipstick and fill caps, air and fuel filters, and the fuel priming pump are all mounted on the left side of the engine under the electrically raised hood. Coolant level indicator and fill cap are outside the cab. Radiator The radiator package is located behind the cab, which provides protection from frontal impacts and offers easy access to the inlet and outlet sides of the radiator. Extended Life Coolant Extends the change interval and improves component life by reducing aluminum corrosion. Electrical Service Center Located inside the cab, this service center provides a power port, diagnostic connector and Cat Data Link connector. Cat Data Link Connector The Cat Data Link connector provides a plug-in using a laptop computer with Electronic Technician (ET) software. Service Access The cab tilts to the side to provide easy access underneath, which simplifies access of the transmission, drive shafts and hydraulic pumps. Machine electrical and hydraulic interfaces are located on the right side of the cab, behind a removable cab body panel for easy access. Truck Transport The suspension system eliminates the need to lower the suspension when transporting the truck, reducing maintenance and downtime. Output Transfer Gear Provides lubrication of all bearings and clutches using a distributed-pressure lubricated and filtered system. 8 Product Link Equipment Manager is a secure and user-friendly application. Equipment Manager ­ a better way to manage your fleet Equipment Manager allows transmitted data to be searched and sorted by alert level, group, equipment identification, make and model. Each new machine comes with Asset Watch. However, you can subscribe to a higher level of service for any machine, at any time, through your Cat dealer. · Hearing protection may be needed when operating with an open operator station and cab (when not properly maintained or doors/windows open) for extended periods or in noisy environments.
