Electronically controlled on-demand variable speed cooling fan provides the lowest overall noise levels and high ambient operation capability. Page 4 Operator's Station Ergonomic design emphasizes comfort, visibility and easy operation. [. . . ] Maximum depth is 508 mm (20"). Combination Rotor Designed primarily for use in soil stabilization with a secondary application in light cuts of asphalt reclamation. 114 point-attack carbide-tipped tools are mounted in drive-in, knock-out bolt-on breakaway tool holders and arranged in a chevron pattern for maximum breakout force. Versatile applications ­ intended for applications where material gradation is of less importance and where higher working speeds are desired. Replaceable end rings protect rotor mandrel from wear. Rings are hard-faced for extended service. Maximum depth is 508 mm (20"). 10 Serviceability Less time on maintenance means more time on the job. Hydraulic rotor hood tilt rotates hood forward for convenient access to rotor for inspection and tool maintenance. Hinged service doors open wide on sides of engine, rotor hood and on top deck for access to power train and rotor drive components. Self-lubricating rotor drive chains in sealed chain cases partially filled with oil. Electronic Control Module (ECM) monitors machine systems and provides self-diagnostics for operator or service personnel. Three warning levels alert operator to conditions on the machine that require attention. Level One ­ a flashing gauge indicator and a flashing alert indicator light. Level Two ­ level one warning plus the warning action lamp flashing. Level Three ­ level two warning plus the warning action horn sounds. Visual indicators allow easy check of engine coolant, hydraulic oil level, rotor bearing reservoir and air restriction indicator. Quick-connect hydraulic test ports simplify system diagnostics. Ecology drains provide an environmental method to drain fluids. They are included on the radiator, engine oil pan, hydraulic and fuel tank. S·O·SSM ports allow for simple fluid collection of engine oil, engine coolant and hydraulic oil. Secure hose routing with polyethylene routing blocks to reduce rubbing and increase service life. Nylon braided wrap and all-weather connectors ensure electrical system integrity. Electrical wiring is colorcoded, numbered and labeled with component identifiers to simplify troubleshooting. Maintenance-free Caterpillar batteries are mounted on the side of the machine and are accessible from ground level. Cat batteries are specifically designed for maximum cranking power and protection against vibration. [. . . ] The cab is also radioready and includes a power converter, antenna with cable, two speakers and a headliner location for mounting. Roading Light Package includes two front-facing headlights, two amber running lamps, four amber turn signal/hazard lamps and a slow moving vehicle sign. Light package used for highway transport purposes only. Warning Beacon Light includes an amber rotating beacon mounted on a retractable pole and mount. [. . . ]
