User manual CATERPILLAR 924H BROCHURE

[. . . ] · Equipped with the High Lift VersaLink loader linkage option for special applications that require more reach and lift height. Loader Performance The VersaLink loader linkage is designed for exceptional loader performance in a wide range of applications, offering: · Simultaneous tilt, lift and auxiliary hydraulics function for precise control of the work tool. · Increased breakout force to shorten cycle times and increase bucket fill factors. · Higher dump clearance for working in "high target" situations that ordinary loaders cannot. · More dig depth for better excavation performance, even when equipped with larger tires. [. . . ] Large flat glass windows provide excellent visibility all around the machine. The rear window features a standard electric defroster. Controls Low effort, ergonomic joystick controls provide easy operation of lift and tilt functions. The standard joystick features an integrated directional control switch for added convenience. The operator programmable transmission neutralizer can be set in seconds optimizing brake effort for all applications. Instrument Panel The sealed instrument panel with easy to read white faced gauges and indicators keeps the operator informed of system conditions. The large LED readout provides ground speed and other critical information. Optional Rear View Camera This work area visual enhancement system uses a closed circuit video monitoring system. Up to three cameras can be mounted on the machine frame. Objects can be viewed on a color LCD monitor in the cab. 6 Work Tools Do more jobs with one machine with Cat Work Tools. The Right Tool for the Job The wide variety of work tools offered by Caterpillar makes the 924H one of the most versatile machines on the jobsite. Work tools can be changed quickly and easily with the machine's quick coupler system. A switch in the cab activates a hydraulic cylinder for positive tool engagement and disengagement. Bucket Work With exceptional rimpull and high breakout and lift forces, the 924H delivers strong performance as a bucket loading machine. A wide range of Cat buckets are available including: · General purpose ­ 1. 8 m3 (2. 4 yd3) and 2. 1 m3 (2. 75 yd3) · Penetration · Light material · Multi purpose · Side dump · High dump · Wood chip · Top clamp Material Handling The exceptional visibility and heavy-lift capabilities of the 924H let you work quickly and efficiently in material handling applications. A wide range of tools are available: · Standard width carriage with pallet forks ­ 1220 mm (48 in), 1370 mm (53 in) and 1524 mm (60 in) · 2440 mm (96 in) wide carriage with 1830 mm (72 in) or 1524 mm (60 in) tines · Offset forks for improved tip visibility · Material handling arm · Log and lumber forks with a variety of top clamp choices Special Applications Caterpillar also offers other work tools designed to meet specific job requirements: · Dozer blades · Snow plows · Hydraulic brooms · Asphalt cutter · Loader rakes Work tool availability varies by region. 7 Serviceability Easy access and minimal maintenance requirements keep your machine on the job. Convenient service features make maintenance easy. All service points are accessible from ground level on the right side of the engine. Gull-wing doors with gas struts lift for exceptional access to filters and service points. Extended service intervals reduce service time and increase machine availability. · Sight gauges let you easily check radiator coolant, hydraulic oil and transmission oil levels as well as engine air filter restriction without opening the air cleaner. · Standard pressure taps allow quick diagnosis of the entire hydraulic system. · S·O·SSM ports make oil sampling quicker, cleaner and provide the best oil sample for analysis. · Spin-on filters for engine oil, transmission oil and hydraulic oil are vertically mounted for easier servicing. · 924H features a standard electronic fuel prime pump. · Sequentially placed radiator and oil coolers are easy to access. · Swing-out cooling fan allows quick and easy cleaning and servicing of the radiator. The fan is hydraulically driven and separate from the engine compartment for low noise operation. · Optional reversing fan cleans screens without interrupting machine operation. Customer Support Unmatched support makes the difference Your Cat dealer is ready to assist you with your purchase decision and everything after. · Make comparisons of machines, with estimates of component life, preventative maintenance and cost of production.
