User manual CATERPILLAR GH1600 BROCHURE

[. . . ] Operator Station Ease of operation, cab comfort and layout help keep operators focused and more productive. Engine and Emissions Technology Cat® engine and aftertreatment solutions meet U. S. EPA Tier 4 Interim and EU Stage IIIB emissions standards. Integrated Electronic Solutions Caterpillar offers a variety of technologies, like optional Cat Grade Control, to signi cantly enhance machine performance. [. . . ] Auto-kickdown automatically downshifts the transmission when signi cant load increases are detected. These features are especially useful when back lling or rough grading. Operators can select from a variety of settings, and can override the automatic shift features at any time. 5 Implement and Steering Controls Ergonomically designed for ease of operation Steering and Transmission Control A new steering tiller is ergonomically designed to improve operator comfort. The new thumb roller on the steering control shifts the electronically controlled powershift transmission. The tiller allows precise steering in close areas with the nest modulation in the industry. Dozer Control Lever The GH1600 features an ergonomically designed dozer lever with low effort, electro-hydraulic controls for added operator comfort, ease of operation and precise work tool control. Features such as blade response, blade oat, auto blade pitch and spread rate can be set up and adjusted using the Advisor panel. When equipped, single-handle convenience also controls functions like AccuGrade, Auto Blade Assist, AutoCarryTM, Cat Grade Control and Dual Tilt. Electronic Ripper Control A rigidly mounted handgrip provides rm support for the operator even when ripping in the roughest terrain. Thumb and ngertip controls direct ripper functions. Programmable features like Auto Lift, Shank-Out, Auto Stow and Automatic Ripper Control help increase operator ef ciency. Throttle Rocker Switch One touch of the throttle rocker switch automatically adjusts engine speed to high or low idle. A new feature allows the operator to press and hold until desired engine speed is reached, then release for the machine to maintain the new chosen speed. 6 Work Tools Bulldozers Equipped for versatility Blades are made of high tensile strength steel with a strong box-section design to stand up to the most severe applications. Heavy moldboard construction and hardened bolt-on cutting edges and end bits add strength and durability. Grade Protection overrides/blocks manual commands when necessary to limit blade travel, offering operators added con dence. 9 Cooling System Durable and ef cient The engine radiator, Air To Air After Cooler (ATAAC) and hydraulic oil cooler are packaged in a single plane. Aluminum bar plate construction aids durability and allows for higher heat transfer and superior corrosion resistance. The standard cores feature 6 ns per inch to allow debris to pass through and reduce plugging concerns. In cooler conditions, a Hydraulically Driven Demand Fan reduces speed to conserve power, save fuel, and decrease sound levels. An optional Reversing Fan can be set to change air ow direction, ef ciently removing debris from the cooling cores without the operator leaving the cab. To improve core serviceability, the cooling package also includes air wand or brush access slots. The ROPS mounted air conditioning system works with the reversing fan for optimum fan purging and ambient cooling capability. Undercarriage Engineered for performance The GH1600 features the Cat elevated sprocket design that isolates nal drives, axles, and steering components from harsh impacts. The modular design aids serviceability to help reduce maintenance costs. A variety of undercarriage con gurations and track shoe designs help optimize performance and undercarriage life. Heavy Duty Undercarriage with Positive Pin Retention Moderate Service Sealed and Lubricated Track (SALT) is standard. This undercarriage is well suited to aggressive applications like land clearing, side-slopes, or working in rocky or uneven terrain. [. . . ] To reduce maintenance cost and time, the GH1600 features a new high capacity lter element and improved powertrain lter bypass strategy to extend service intervals. The in-cab monitoring system also provides electronic uid level veri cation at startup for the coolant, powertrain and engine oil systems. Ground Level Service Center The new ground level service center is accessible on the left hand fender without setting foot on the machine, giving easy access to the battery disconnect, secondary engine shutdown and access light switches. A digital hour meter is also available. Access/Egress Newly designed steps and handrails make climbing on and off the tractor easier than ever. An access light switch turns on the cab or exterior light for night time visibility when mounting/ dismounting the machine. [. . . ]
