Refer to guidelines for successful application. Please consult your Cat dealer or “Caterpillar Machine Fluids Recommendations” (SEBU6250) for details.
• Engine Idle Speed Management helps maximize fuel efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by elevating engine speed to an intermediate idle to complete specific tasks and returning to low idle when finished.
• Automatic Load Control helps you save fuel and reduces greenhouse gas emissions by automatically matching propel speed to engine load for maximum production at peak efficiency
• Electronically controlled All-Wheel Drive with Traction Control maintains consistent traction to increase machine efficiency, helps reduce fuel burn and greenhouse gas emissions
• Performance and safety can be augmented with standard and optional cameras that are viewed on large, in-cab displays
• Extended maintenance intervals not only reduce downtime but decrease the amount of fluid and filters that are replaced over the life of the machine
• Cat Scheduled Oil Sampling (S•O•S℠) Services helps reveal excessive wear, contaminated fluids or other “unseen” issues that can shorten component life. In many cases, you can extend oil and coolant change intervals by using fluid monitoring. Consult your Cat dealer or the machine's operation and maintenance manual for more information.
