User manual CATERPILLAR D6N BROCHURE

[. . . ] · Differential steering turns the machine by speeding up one track and slowing the other while maintaining full power to both. Steering modulation is finely tuned for precise control. Regardless of ground conditions, steering is consistent because power is maintained to both tracks during operation. · · Engine Emission reduction technology. Cat® C6. 6 Engine with ACERTTM Technology The Cat® C6. 6 is a 6. 6 liters (403 in3) displacement, six cylinder, inline configured engine equipped with a Caterpillar Common Rail fuel System. It uses ACERT Technology, a series of Caterpillar engineered innovations that provide advanced electronic control, precision fuel delivery and refined air management, resulting in outstanding performance and lower emissions. [. . . ] Mounting brackets in the cab secure the in-cab display. Plug-in points inside the cab and on the front of the machine make it easy to install electronic components. AccuGrade GPS System The AccuGrade Global Positioning System (GPS) is the best solution when the construction site involves contours, rather than single or dual slope planes. A GPS system compares the blade position to a three-dimensional computerized job site plan and signals the operator or hydraulic system to raise or lower the blade to achieve the design requirements. AccuGrade ATS System The AccuGrade ATS system tracks blade positioning and provides three dimensional controlling capability for precise elevation adjustment, improved accuracy and dynamic tracking. AccuGrade Laser System The laser system is ideal for fine grading sites with flat, single slope or dual slope surfaces such as industrial, commercial and residential building sites. AccuGrade Monitor The in-cab display with easy-to-read grade indicators and real time operator information provide the operator with all AcuuGrade system information. The display is designed for reliable performance in extreme operating conditions including shock, dust and moisture. 6 SystemOneTM Undercarriage Lower owning and operating costs. SystemOneTM Undercarriage Exclusively for Caterpillar machines, the design extends system life and reduces operating costs. Undercarriage Arrangements XL (Extra Long) arrangement · · · · Forward idler position provides more track on the ground and to the front of the tractor. It provides optimal balance, superior traction and blade control for finish grading. Long roller frame provides good flotation in soft underfoot conditions. Specially designed to work in soft and spongy conditions. Wide track shoes, a longer track frame and a wider gauge increase track contact area and reduce ground pressure for excellent flotation. LGP (Low Ground Pressure) arrangement Equalizer Bar The pinned equalizer bar gives the roller frames the ability to oscillate up or down to better match ground contours while providing maximum traction and operator comfort. 7 Blades and Attachments Cat Work Tools are built to handle the toughest dozing applications. Variable Pitch Power Angle and Tilt Blade (VPAT) The VPAT blade gives the operator the ability to hydraulically adjust the blade lift, angle and tilt from the operator's station. · · · Manually adjustable blade pitch for optimum performance. Top corners of the blade are clipped for better operator viewing area. C-Frame is solidly pinned to the mainframe for good blade control and eliminates blade motion due to track oscillation or side forces. Foldable Blade Designed to facilitate transportation without removing the blade, the foldable blades reduced overall shipping width of the machine. The blade can be folded by hand by one person without the need for tools, and each foldable blade includes the mounting brackets for AccuGrade masts. Drawbar The D6N can be equipped with a drawbar for pulling work tools such as disks, compactors, chopper wheels and retrieval of other equipment. Multi-Shank Ripper The multi-shank parallelogram ripper lets you choose one, two or three shanks depending on job conditions. Curved or straight ripper shanks are available. Winch Standard and slow-speed winches are available to match the application requirements. · · · Integrated electronic controls for both clutch and brake functions improve winch performance. Clutch engagement and brake release are automatically synchronized for smooth operation. Winch components can be serviced with winch mounted on tractor. Check with your Caterpillar Dealer for details. Forestry Sweeps In forestry and land clearing applications where limbs and debris can damage a machine, optional sweeps are available for the D6N. Sweeps help to shield critical components on the tractor such as hydraulic lines, exhaust stacks, cab windows and lights from damage. 8 Value Packages Get more for less.
