[. . . ] The propel lever, grouped control gauges and conveniently located control switches enhance operator productivity and reduce fatigue. An optional MVP control console rotates to three different positions, left, right or center and allows the operator to view the front tire contact points. Page 5 Versatility The oscillating front and rear wheels seek out and compact soft spots. The oscillating wheels also provide even wheel loads and uniform compaction across the rolling width. [. . . ] Remote mounted drains for fuel, hydraulic and cooling systems allow collection of fluids. 500 hour oil change interval is standard. Heavy Weight Option Provides maximum machine versatility and utilization, while enhancing productivity. Maximum operating weight of 17 137 kg (38, 000 lb) increases versatility for working on thick lifts. Maximum weight per wheel of 1920 kg (4, 220 lb) provides increased ground contact pressures for thick lifts and harsh mixes. Ballast (optional) provides an additional 6168 kg (13, 600 lb) of steel ballast for increased versatility. Load compensating valves provide increased torque to the propel motors for working on grades and on tough underfoot conditions. Maximum travel speed of 25. 6 km/h (15. 9 mph) provides quick maneuverability around the job site. 12-ply tires are standard with the heavy weight option. 6 Engine Four-stroke, four cylinder 3054C turbocharged diesel engine. Ratings at Gross power RPM 2200 kW 75 hp 100 Transmission Two-speed hydrostatic propel system. Hydrostatic pump provides oil to two hydrostatic motors mounted above the drive axles. Drive shafts connect the motors to the rear axles. A single propel lever located on the control console provides smooth hydrostatic control of the infinitely variable speeds in both forward and reverse. Max. speeds (forward and reverse): Brakes Service brake features Closed-loop hydrostatic drive system provides dynamic braking during machine operation. Secondary brake features* Ratings of Caterpillar machine engines are based on standard air conditions of 25°C (77°F) and 100 kPa (29. 61" Hg) dry barometer. Power is based on using API gravity of 35 at 15°C (60°F), fuel having a LHV of 42 780 kJ/kg (18, 390 Btu/lb) used at 30°C (86°F) [ref. a fuel density of 838. 9 g/L (7. 001 lb/U. S. Net power advertised is the power available at the flywheel when the engine is equipped with fan, air cleaner, muffler and alternator. The following ratings apply at 2200 RPM when tested under the specified standard conditions: Net Power kW hp ISO 9249 72 96 SAE J1349 72 96 EEC 80/1269 72 96 Dimensions Bore Stroke Displacement Low High 0 - 11 km/h (6. 8 mph) 0 - 25. 6 km/h (15. 9 mph) Spring-applied/hydraulically released disc brakes are actuated by a switch on the control console. They are also activated automatically if pressure is lost in the brake circuit or when the engine is shut off. *Brake systems meet SAE standard J1472 and EN500-4. Wheels and Tires 6-Ply: 8. 50/90 x 15 5 wheels front, 4 wheels rear 11-wheel option 6-Ply: 8. 50/90 x 15 Heavy weight option 12-Ply: 7. 50 x 15 Axles Tractive effort is delivered to the four rear drive wheels by standard, heavyduty axles. Electrical System 24-volt electrical system includes two maintenance-free Cat batteries, colorcoded and numbered wiring wrapped in nylon braid. A 55-amp alternator powers the electrical system. 105 mm 127 mm 4. 4 liters 4. 13" 5" 269 cu. in. Dual-element, dry-type air cleaner with visual restriction indicator, glow plug starting aid and fuel/water separator are standard. PS-150C specifications 7 Water System The gravity water system is efficient and reliable. System includes galvanized distribution bars over the front and rear tires and retractable nylon tire scrapers for each tire. A polyethylene water tank is located at the front of the machine on the operator's platform. A water level gauge is on the tank within easy sight of the operator. [. . . ] Computer-controlled, emergency search system backup. Parts stock lists--dealer helps you plan on-site parts stock to minimize your parts investment while maximizing machine availability. Service capability--dealer's shop or fast field service by trained technicians using latest tools and technology.
