Milton CAT 773F - Manual (Page 12)

Servicing Ease. Easy access to daily
service points simplifies servicing and
reduces time spent on regular maintenance
procedures. Enhanced serviceability and
extended 500-hour service intervals are
designed to increase machine
availability and productivity.
Maintenance Platform. Easy stairway
access to engine, air filters, steering
hydraulic tank and radiator.
Ground-Level Access. Allows convenient
servicing to tanks, filters, drains, battery
disconnect and engine shutdown.
Engine Prelube. Engine prelubrication
provides engine oil pressure prior to
engine cranking. This reduces engine
dry and cold start wear, and reduces
engine component wear. This system
automatically fills engine oil filters and
galleries, and ensures components are
lubed prior to starting the engine.
Scheduled Oil Sampling. S•O•S SM
sampling valves speed sampling and
analysis reliability.
Pressure Test Points. Disconnect valves
are conveniently located throughout the
hydraulic systems for easy pressure
testing. New ECPC transmission
provides multiple pressure taps outside
the transmission.
Air Filters. Radial seal air filters are
easy to change, reducing time required
for air filter maintenance.
Sealed Electrical Connectors. Electrical
connectors are sealed to lock out dust
and moisture. Harnesses are braided for
protection. Wires are color-coded for
easy diagnosis and repair.
Spin-on Filters. Spin-on filters for fuel
and oil systems reduce changing time
and help ensure clean, tight seals.
On-Board Diagnostic Systems.
Messenger continuously checks all critical
machine functions and components, and
helps locate faults quickly for faster
repair. Electronic control system enables
quick diagnosis of engine conditions and
effective maintenance and repairs using
the Electronic Technician (Cat ET)
service tool.
Lincoln’s Quick Lube Automatic
Lubrication (optional). This advanced
lubrication system is available as a
factory installed option on the 773F.
Clustered Grease Fittings (optional).
Clustered grease fittings save time as
all lubrication points are mounted in
three main locations.
Oil Dipstick. New “rope-type” oil
dipstick improves serviceability
by allowing easy daily checks.
Next Generation Modular Radiator
(NGMR). This cooling system’s new
modular design permits removal of
a single core without removing the
entire radiator, reducing downtime and
repair costs. The less complex design
offers improved reliability and higher
efficiency over the two-pass flow core.
NGMR also offers wider fin spacing for
greater resistance to plugging and more
convenient cleaning.
QuickEvac™ System. Oil change labor
time is reduced by as much as 50 percent
with this standard on-board engine oil
evacuation and pre-lube system. It speeds
the process of evacuating the engine
sump and allows for the purging of oil
filters prior to removal, minimizing oil
spills. QuickEvac system also enhances
contamination control by ensuring
complete filtration of new oil on
engine refill.
Reduced Maintenance Costs/Higher
Machine Availability. The C27 engine
with ACERT Technology offers
500-hour service intervals under normal
conditions. For the 773F, commonly
used engine service points have been
placed on the right side of the engine.
Feedback from engine sensors provides
data to the electronic controller.
When engine data is out of spec,
a warning is sent to the operator.
