User manual CATERPILLAR 305E CR BROCHURE

[. . . ] This also allows all controls to be locked out while starting the machine. 4 Performance Powerful digging with precise control Stability All four E Series models feature excellent stability while maintaining the compact radius design. This increased stability leads to more productivity and versatility through the use of heavier work tools and the optional long stick. Fast, Powerful Digging with Load Sensing Hydraulics High digging forces and fast cycle times deliver the productivity that your job demands. Load sensing hydraulics optimize flow for smooth, powerful performance and increased fuel efficiency. 200 Degree Bucket Rotation Industry leading bucket rotation of over 200 degrees provides greater material retention during truck loading. [. . . ] On these models, the radius of the upper body stays entirely within the width of the undercarriage. 8 Undercarriage Stability and Durability Rubber Track – The standard rubber track lets you work on multiple surfaces such as grass, pavement or stone without damaging the surface or machine. Steel Track Option – Optional steel track is available for harsh conditions such as demolition. The extra weight of the steel tracks generally provides better stability when digging over the side of the machine. (Not available on the 304E CR. ) Rubber Pads – Optional rubber pads can be attached to the steel track to prevent damage to paved surfaces and minimize noise and vibration during travel with the steel track system. This option provides the maximum overall stability. 9 Dozer Blade Maximize your productivity Simple Dozer Control with Float Function The dozer function is pilot controlled from inside the cab, providing smooth, proportional operation. The standard float function is enabled by pushing the lever fully forward into the detent position. Cleanup and backfilling is easier since the operator does not have to adjust the blade height during travel. Excellent Blade Visibility Visibility to the blade is excellent in any position, allowing the blade to be positioned behind the operator and away from the front linkage for better access when back dragging and finishing in tight areas. Angle Blade Option Increase machine versatility with the Cat angle dozer blade. Built for strength and durability, the hydraulic angle blade features a hardened steel wear edge and good protection to cylinders and hydraulic lines. The angle blade can be positioned straight ahead or angled up to 25 degrees to the left or right. This reduces the number of times required to back up and reposition when backfilling so you can finish the job faster. All functions of the blade are controlled with one joystick using a proportional roller switch for the angle function. 10 Coupler and Work Tool Options Increased versatility with multiple work tools Couplers The E Series is available with a mechanical pin-grabber or a hydraulic pin-grabber quick coupler option. The coupler design uses a wedge to keep the tool secure to the coupler, reducing wear and maintaining a tight fit through the life of the coupler. The hydraulic coupler allows the operator to change tools without leaving the comfort of the cab. Wide Range of Work Tools A wide range of Cat Work Tools have been designed specifically for the Cat Mini Hydraulic Excavators to maximize machine performance. Available work tools include: • Buckets (heavy duty and heavy duty capacity) • Tilting, Ditch Cleaning Buckets • Hydraulic Hammers • Augers • Thumbs (not available in all regions) • Vibratory Compactors • Shears (boom mounted on 305E CR/305. 5E CR only) • Quick Coupler Standard Thumb Ready Sticks (optional in Europe) Machines come standard with stick mounted brackets, ready to fit a hydraulic thumb for even greater machine versatility.
