User manual CATERPILLAR 262C SERIES 2 BROCHURE

[. . . ] Adjustable seat mounted controls and an available air ride seat keep you comfortable throughout the work day. Increased rated operating capacities, higher horsepower and improved drawbar performance help you get more done and increase your bottom line. Operator Station Superior comfort to keep you productive throughout the work day. Superior Comfort Comfort and ease of operation have been designed into every aspect of the operator station. [. . . ] The foot throttle lets the operator vary engine speed and minimize fuel consumption for other tasks such as load and carry, truck loading, grading and dozing. Electronic Torque Management The Electronic Torque Management system maximizes power to the ground and prevents the engine from stalling in tough digging and dozing applications for maximum productivity. The system allows part throttle operation which provides smoother machine operation and reduces fuel consumption. Lift Linkages Built for tough working conditions. Choice of Lift Designs Two types of lifting arrangements are available – vertical lift (path #1 above) and radial lift (path #2) – to meet your specific application needs. Selectable Work Speed Control The optional Selectable Work Speed Control lets you select the ground speed that is best suited for the application. This feature is useful in operations such as trenching and cold planing that require precise machine control at relatively slow and constant speeds. Selectable Hystat Response Control The optional Selectable Hystat Response Control lets the operator select one of three modes to match the machine’s drive response to the operator’s preference, skill level and application requirements. Vertical Lift The 262C Series 2 features the vertical lift design which provides extended reach and lift height for quick and easy truck loading and material placement. The lift height is 3233 mm (127 in) on the 262C Series 2. Radial Lift The 246C, with its radial lift design, delivers excellent digging performance and superior mid-lift reach. Hydraulics Exceptional lift, breakout and power to meet your needs. High Performance Hydraulic System Maximum power and reliability are built into the Cat Skid Steer Loader hydraulic system. In addition to providing power to the wheels, this system also powers the loader lift and tilt functions, powers the auxiliary circuit to drive work tools and drives the engine cooling fan. The hydraulic system features: • Increased lift and tilt breakout forces allowing you to move more material and get more done. • Continuous demand fan for improved fuel efficiency, increased horsepower, reduced sound levels and improved cold weather performance. • Cat ToughGuard™ hoses for increased reliability and durability. • High capacity hydraulic tank and side-by-side cooling package keep components cool for maximum durability. Two Speed Option Two speed is available as an option to increase cycle times and get the job done faster. High Flow XPS High flow XPS hydraulic system is available on all models for greater machine versatility. Maximum performance can be maintained regardless of the work tool speed or conditions with this load sensing, pressure compensating system. Cat cooling systems are sized to allow the operator to continuously power high flow work tools in conditions that cause competitive machines to overheat. Selectable Implement Control The Selectable Implement Control option with three levels of control gives the operator the ability to adjust the responsiveness and speed of the lift and tilt functions for more precise implement control. Speed Sensitive Ride Control The optional Speed Sensitive Ride Control system delivers a smoother ride on uneven terrain for superior comfort. It allows for both higher speed operation and better material retention for increased productivity.
