User manual CATERPILLAR MD1001 P BROCHURE

[. . . ] 6 Electronic Controls Electronic controls improve machine response and provide advanced diagnostic capabilities that result in better machine availability. The Product Link option allows remote monitoring of location, machine system status, and alert indicators. 7 Elevator Mechanism The elevator mechanism conditions material as it works, lifting material off the cutting edge and carrying it to the top of the load for true self-loading capability. The MD1001 P is ideal for windrowing, blending material as well as breaking up vegetation in stripping operations. [. . . ] Allows the operator to maintain converter drive for increased rimpull, or hold the current gear for enhanced control. Allows the operator to manually set the top gear (3rd ­ 8th) available to match conditions or to match the hauling speed of the fleet to specific job-site needs. 6 Electronic Controls Instant response optimizes machine performance, and advanced diagnostic capabilities maximize machine availability. Simplified System. The electrical system has been redesigned to utilize three electronic control modules (ECM) on the tractor instead of four. Electronic control module monitors air filter restriction and sends a warning message to the electronic monitoring system to alert the operator if the restriction exceeds the allowable limit. The ECM activates the ether injection system during engine cranking to enhance cold weather starting. At high altitudes the system automatically de-rates fuel delivery as a function of barometric pressure sensed by the system's atmospheric pressure sensor. The ECM automatically compensates for low alternator output at low idle to keep the batteries fully charged. Combined monitoring systems, easy access diagnostics and more durable components make routine maintenance and servicing simple and fast. Diagnostic codes are accessible through the EMS main display module, via the Electronic Technician (Cat ET). This offers a head start on problem solving, with a radio call often providing the service technician with the knowledge of which tools, troubleshooting guides, and possibly even replacement parts to bring to the machine. The Caterpillar EUI system has fewer moving parts than mechanical unit injection and requires few adjustments. Nitrogen accumulators absorb and dampen road shocks, thus reducing the loads from being transmitted to the operator. An operator-selectable lockout switch, located on the joystick, locks the cushion hitch for improved control of the cutting edge during loading and dumping. 10 Scraper Bowl Designed for optimum loading, material retention and ejection. Redesigned Bowl. Excellent productivity with a 10% increase in bowl capacity from the F series, improved draft arm protection, and better load retention. Low-profile design of the bowl offers less resistance to incoming materials, while cellular construction adds strength and dent resistance to bowl sides and floor. Combines constant spreading control while minimizing carryback material. The floor of the bowl retracts as the ejector moves forward, allowing the operator to precisely control the flow of material. Cutting Edges. May be adjusted according to job conditions. For most efficient loading, use the thinnest edge that provides satisfactory wear life and impact resistance. Caterpillar Ground Engaging Tools (G. E. T. ). A wide variety of Ground Engaging Tool (GET) options, such as standard, serrated, and abrasion resistant material (ARM), are available to optimize scraper loading in various materials. Most are reversible to provide long life and reduced operating costs. [. . . ] Your Cat dealer has videotapes, literature and other ideas to help you increase productivity, and Caterpillar offers certified operator training classes to help maximize the return on your machine investment. Talk to your dealer about the range of available maintenance services. Repair option programs guarantee the cost of repairs up front. Diagnostic programs such as S·O·SSM Analysis and Coolant Sampling and Technical Analysis help avoid unscheduled repairs. [. . . ]
