User manual CATERPILLAR CM230 BROCHURE

[. . . ] The CM230 also features new flow-sharing hydraulic valves, ensuring proportional flow of oil to all hydraulic cylinders, providing greater control and improving multifunction performance. Ride Control Delivers even greater operator comfort. The optional Ride Control System smoothes the ride in all conditions, including load and carry, highway roading, or simply moving around the job site. It reduces machine loping, providing a smooth and stable ride for increased operator comfort and reduced operator fatigue. The Ride Control option improves material retention in the loader bucket for increased productivity and a cleaner job site. The system is easily engaged by an On/Off switch on the front console. 4 Power Train Cat Engine Built for performance, power, reliability and fuel efficiency. The CM230 features the Cat® C4. 4 DITA (Direct Injection Turbocharged Aftercooled) engine and meets all U. S. [. . . ] · · Hydraulic proportional control valves smooth speed and directional shifts. Four Wheel Drive (4WD) option improves mobility and loader performance in poor underfoot and can be activated on-the-go. Maximum roading speed of 40 km/h (25 mph) for faster travel between job sites. Cat Rear Axles are designed specifically for demanding backhoe loader applications. Axles feature outboard planetary gear sets for easy serviceability and brake design improvements for longer service life. · · Brake Mode Selector The brake mode selector switch has three positions: two wheel drive, two wheel drive with all wheel braking and four wheel drive. Two wheel drive with all wheel braking provides better tire life while roading and engages the front axle when brakes are applied for improved braking performance. 5 Backhoe Designed for high performance and easy service. The E-Series backhoe delivers industry-leading digging forces. Serrated edges on the stick provide improved material clamping for clearing and demolition applications. The single pin bucket linkage contributes to best-in-class rotation of 205 degrees for all applications. E-Stick Design The optional extendible stick (E-stick) increases reach and dig depth by approximately 1. 2 meters (4 feet). The new design delivers increased life and easy in-field adjustment with common hand tools. Curved Boom The excavator-style boom is built for optimum performance and durability. The curved design provides additional clearance over obstacles while digging a trench or truck loading. The narrow boom enhances the viewing area to the bucket and trench throughout the entire operating range. Thumbs Thumb mounting provisions are standard on every Cat Backhoe Loader for added machine versatility. · Forged chrome/molybdenum-steel crankshaft with salt bath nitrocarburized pins and journals. · Front and rear crankshaft oil seals are "lip" type Viton and PTFE designs featuring an integral dust lip. · For durability, inlet valves are nitrided, martensitic chrome silicon steel, while exhaust valves are nitrided, austenitic chrome manganese-nickel steel. · Cylinder block is high strength, cast iron alloy of deep skirt, monobloc design for increased strength and long life. · Cylinder head is high strength, cast iron alloy construction with extra duty wall and deck thickness. Intake and exhaust ports are precision cast to promote optimum gas flow. · Direct injection fuel system provides accurate fuel delivery and efficiency. · Dry-type axial seal air cleaner with integral precleaner, automatic dust ejection system, and filter condition indicator. · Direct electric, 12-volt starting and charging system with 880 CCA Group 31 maintenance free battery. · Standard glow plug starting aid system for efficient cold weather starting. · High contact ratio/gear train, peripheral fixed isolation top cover and open deck block design reduce bare engine noise.
