User manual CATERPILLAR SU488 L BROCHURE

[. . . ] Each seat includes a reclining back, upper and lower seat slide adjustments, and height and tilt angle adjustments to meet operator needs for comfort and productivity. Controls The right and left joystick consoles can be adjusted to meet the operator's desired preference, making him (or her) more comfortable and productive during the course of a day. With the touch of the button, one-touch idle reduces engine speed to help save fuel; touch it again or move the joystick and the machine returns to normal operating level. The optional heavy lift mode increases machine system pressure to improve lift ­ a nice benefit in certain situations. Heavy lift mode also reduces engine speed and pump flow in order to improve controllability. Monitor The SU488 L is equipped with a new LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) monitor that's 40% bigger than the previous model's with higher resolution for better visibility. [. . . ] The 8. 3 MT counterweight is standard on the Log Loader configuration. Each is designed to match the height of the machine, and each comes with new integrated links that enable easy removal for maintenance. Regardless of choice, counterweights are bolted directly to the main frame using four M36 bolts for rigidity. 6 Front Linkage Made for high stress and long service life Booms, Sticks and Heels The SU488 L offers both General Forestry and Log Loader booms and sticks. Each is built with internal baffle plates for added durability, quality and reliability. Large box-section structures with thick, multi-plate fabrications, castings, and forgings are used in high-stress areas to improve durability. Selections There are two General Forestry, two Log Loader boom and stick, and three heel options available to match a variety of forestry applications. There is also a DB-Family Bucket Linkage available for the General Forestry configurations. This type of boom is best used for applications where added reach above and below ground level are required. The combination of boom and stick is matched to these conditions. This type of boom is best used for demanding applications. The Mass front provides higher digging forces due to the geometry of the boom and stick. Bucket linkage and cylinders are more durable for excellent productivity in harsh applications. Your Cat dealer can provide recommendations.

S. EPA Tier 4 Interim, emissions standards. The SU488 L generates more horsepower, lifts more payload, and burns less fuel than the previous series machine, which means more efficiency and productivity with less resource consumption and fewer CO2 emissions. The SU488 L has the flexibility of running on either ultra-low-sulfur diesel (ULSD) fuel with 15 ppm of sulfur or less or bio diesel (B20) fuel blended with ULSD. The SU488 L is equipped with one-touch idle to reduce engine speed quickly and conveniently conserving fuel. The SU488 L is built to be rebuilt with major structures and components remanufactured to reduce waste and replacement costs.
