User manual CATERPILLAR MD6290 BROCHURE

[. . . ] Electronically adjustable control pods help position joysticks for optimal comfort, visibility and proper operation. Joystick Functions · The left joystick primarily controls the machine direction and speed including steering, articulation, return-to-center, wheel lean, gear selection, left moldboard lift cylinder and float. The right joystick primarily controls drawbar, circle and moldboard functions including right moldboard lift cylinder and float, moldboard slide and tip, circle turn, drawbar center shift, electronic throttle control and manual differential lock/unlock. · Intuitive Steering Control Joystick lean angle mirrors the steer tires' turning angle. A brake tensioning system holds the joystick in position until the operator moves it. The steering control automatically reduces steering sensitivity at higher ground speeds for comfortable and predictable control. Electronic Throttle Control Provides easy, precise and consistent throttle operation. [. . . ] This is a process that happens automatically, but the operator can initiate the cycle when convenient or interrupt regeneration as needed. A soot level monitor can be viewed on the Cat Messenger screen and regeneration indicator lights are integrated into the front console. 5 Power Train Maximum power to the ground. Automatic Differential Lock Unlocks the differential during a turn, re-locks when straight, for easier operation and lower power train protection. Front Axle The Cat sealed spindle keeps bearings free from contaminants and lubricated in a light weight oil. The Cat "Live Spindle" design places the larger tapered roller bearing outboard where the load is greater, extending bearing life. Inching Pedal Allows precise control of machine movements and excellent modulation, critical in close-quarter work or finish grading. Smooth Shifting Transmission Several key innovations ensure smooth, powerful shifts. · Full Electronic Clutch Pressure Control (ECPC) system optimizes inching modulation for smooth shifts and directional changes, reducing stress on gears. Controlled Throttle Shifting helps to smooth directional and gear changes without using the inching pedal. Load Compensation ensures consistent shift quality regardless of blade or machine load. This standard feature automatically shifts the transmission at optimal points so the operator can focus on the work to help improve safety, productivity and ease of operation. Power Shift Countershaft Transmission and the Cat C9. 3 engine maximize power to the ground. Engine Over-Speed Protection prevents downshifting until an acceptable safe travel speed has been established. · · · · · Bolt-On Modular Rear Axle Improves serviceability and contamination control with easy access to differential components. Hydraulic Brakes Hydraulically actuated, oil bathed, multi-disc service brakes at each tandem wheel (1) offer the industry's largest total brake surface area (2) for dependable stopping power and long brake life. The brake wear indicator/compensator system (3) maintains brake performance and indicates brake wear without disassembly, for fast servicing and longer brake service life. The spring-applied, hydraulically released multidisc parking brake, sealed and oil-cooled for long life and low service, is integrated into the Operator Presence System to prevent unintended machine movement. 6 Structures and DCM Service ease and precise blade control. Heavy Duty Durability The frame, drawbar and one-piece forged steel circle are designed for durability in heavy duty applications. VisionLink includes powerful tools to convey information to users and dealers, including mapping, working and idle time, fuel level and more. *Product Link licensing not available in all areas. Please consult your Cat dealer for availability. 10 Work Tools and Attachments Equip your machine for the job. Moldboard Options Standard 3. 7 m (12 ft) or optional 4. 3 m (14 ft). Left and right side extensions are also available. Ground Engaging Tools (GET) A variety of tools are available from Cat Work Tools, including cutting edges, graderbits and end bits, all designed for maximum service life and productivity. Front Mounted Groups A front mounted push plate/counterweight or front lift group are available. The front lift group can be combined with a front dozer blade or front scarifier for added versatility. Rear Ripper/Scarifier Made to penetrate tough material fast and rip thoroughly for easier movement with the moldboard. Nine scarifier shanks can also be added for additional versatility. Snow Removal Work Tools Multiple snow plow, snow wing and mounting options increase machine versatility and utilization throughout the year. 11 Safety Protect your most valuable resource. Designed with Protection in Mind Features are designed to enhance operator and job site safety, such as drop-down rear lights and a rearview camera. Among many standard safety features are laminated glass, back-up lights, and perforated tandem walkways and grab rails. Operator Presence System The parking brake remains engaged and hydraulic implements disabled until the operator is initially seated and the machine is ready for operation. Secondary Steering System Automatically engages an electric hydraulic pump in case of a drop in steering pressure, allowing the operator to steer the machine to a stop. Hydraulic Lockout A simple switch located in the cab disables all implement functions while still providing machine steering control. This safety feature is especially useful while roading. Brake Systems Brakes are located at each tandem wheel to eliminate braking loads on the power train. Redundant brake systems utilize accumulators to enable stopping in case of machine failure, further increasing operational safety. Circle Drive Slip Clutch This standard feature protects the drawbar, circle and moldboard from shock loads when the blade encounters an immovable object. It also reduces the possibility of abrupt directional changes in poor traction conditions. Blade Lift Accumulators (Optional) This optional feature uses accumulators to help absorb impact loads to the moldboard by allowing vertical blade travel. Blade lift accumulators help reduce unnecessary wear and also help reduce impact loading for enhanced operator safety. Rearview Camera (Optional) Visibility is further enhanced with an optional Work Area Vision System (WAVS) through a 178 mm (7 in) LCD color monitor in the cab. Developed specifically for rugged applications, this durable camera improves productivity and increases operator awareness of surroundings. Front and Rear Fenders (Optional) To help reduce objects flying from the tires, as well as build-up of mud, snow and debris, optional fenders can be added. 12 Customer Support Unparalleled worldwide support. Renowned dealer service From helping you choose the right machine to financing and ongoing support, your Cat dealer provides the best in sales and service.
