User manual CATERPILLAR 279C SERIES 2 BROCHURE

[. . . ] This display also provides the user interface for the optional AccuGrade™ Grade Control System. The Selectable Work Speed Control, Selectable Implement Control and Selectable Hystat Response Control modes allow the operator to “dial in” his machine to maximize production. Additional Features for Maximum Comfort • Air ride seat available for an unparalleled level of comfort in a compact track loader. • Optional air conditioner and heater for greater comfort in extreme conditions. [. . . ] Planetary final drive motors improve torque and drawbar performance, delivering more power to the ground. Steel rollers with metal face seals provide maximum protection for wheel bearings resulting in long-term durability and reliability in even the toughest conditions. The simple recoil grease tensioning system allows quick track tension adjustment. 4 Power Train Aggressive performance with fuel efficiency. Cat Engine The high performance power train provides high engine horsepower and torque. The machines feature the Cat C3. 4 DIT engine – a rugged, reliable engine that meets U. S. EPA Tier 4 Interim/EU Stage IIIA emission requirements. Hand and Foot Throttles Hand and foot throttles allow the operator to match engine speed to the task. The hand throttle is ideal for jobs requiring constant engine speed such as cold planing, trenching or snow blowing. The foot throttle lets the operator vary engine speed and minimize fuel consumption for other tasks such as load and carry, truck loading, grading and dozing. Electronic Torque Management The Electronic Torque Management system maximizes power to the ground and prevents the engine from stalling in tough digging and dozing applications for maximum productivity. The system allows part throttle operation which provides smoother machine operation and reduces fuel consumption. Lift Linkages Built for tough working conditions. Choice of Lift Designs Two types of lifting arrangements are available – vertical lift (path #1 above) and radial lift (path #2) – to meet your specific application needs. Selectable Work Speed Control The optional Selectable Work Speed Control lets you select the ground speed that is best suited for the application. This feature is useful in operations such as trenching and cold planing that require precise machine control at relatively slow and constant speeds. Selectable Hystat Response Control The optional Selectable Hystat Response Control lets the operator select one of three modes to match the machine’s drive response to the operator’s preference, skill level and application requirements. Vertical Lift The 287C Series 2 features the vertical lift design which provides extended reach and lift height for quick and easy truck loading and material placement. The lift height is 3239 mm (127 in) on the 289C Series 2. Radial Lift The 279C Series 2, with its radial lift design, delivers excellent digging performance and superior mid-lift reach. 5 Work Tools Do more jobs with one machine using Cat® Work Tools. The Right Tool for the Job Designed and built for optimum performance and durability, Cat Work Tools deliver high productivity in a variety of applications to maximize versatility: • Augers • Backhoes • Blades (angle, dozer) • Buckets (general purpose, high capacity, dirt, utility, light material, multi purpose, industrial grapple, utility grapple) • Brooms (angle, pickup, utility) • Brushcutters • Cold Planers • Forks (pallet, industrial grapple, utility grapple, utility) • Hydraulic Hammers • Landscape Tillers • Landscape Rakes • Material Handling Arm • Mulcher • Power Box Rakes • Shear • Snow Blowers • Stump Grinders • Trenchers • Vibratory Compactors • Wheel Saws Quick Couplers Work tools can be changed quickly and easily with the Cat Compact Track Loader’s quick coupler system. The standard quick coupler features manual engagement and disengagement of work tools using two high leverage handles. The optional hydraulic quick coupler allows the operator to quickly change tools without leaving the cab. AccuGrade™ Grade Control System for Skid Steer, Multi Terrain and Compact Track Loaders Common to AccuGrade systems for Track-Type Tractors and Motor Graders, this deeply integrated solution automates the machine’s electrohydraulic controls to achieve a consistent grade across the work site, improve accuracy and increase productivity, ultimately lowering operating and material costs. 6 Serviceability Simplified service and maintenance save you time and money. Easy Service Convenient service features make maintenance easy, reducing your downtime: • Rear door opens 90 degrees for easy access to both sides of the engine. • Cooling package tilts up to provide excellent access to the engine compartment.
