Milton CAT 988H - Manual (Page 11)

1 STIC Control System. Combines gear
selection and steering into one control
lever that requires less effort and
provides smooth shifting. Side-to-side
motions for steering, finger operator
direction control and thumb operator
buttons for gear selection combine to
provide a fluid motion that reduces
effort and allows the operator to work
the machine for long periods of time
with little or no fatigue.
2 Left Pedal. Operates the impeller
clutch torque converter/braking while
the right pedal operates standard braking.
3 Cat Comfort Seat. An ergonomic
design with thick foam in key parts
of the seat back, thick seat cushions
and an automotive-style lumbar support
translates into great operator comfort,
reduced fatigue and consistent
productivity throughout the work shift.
The six-way adjustable, air suspension
seat has a retractable seatbelt, headrest
and adjustable armrests for optimum
comfort.
4 Electro-Hydraulic Controls and
Armrests. Provide low effort, fingertip
control for enhanced comfort and
stability.
Floor-mounted controls and armrests
are fore, aft and height adjustable to
accommodate operators of any size in
a comfortable operating position.
5 Caterpillar Monitoring System
(EMS-III). Provides information on
machine’s major components and
systems.
• Gauge displays fuel tank level
and temperatures for engine coolant,
torque converter and hydraulic oil.
Tachometer is an analog gauge with
digital readout for gear selection and
ground speed.
• Alerts operator if transmission
is engaged while parking brake is
applied. If pressure drops, the parking
brake applies automatically.
Main module consists of 10 fault
indicators and one display panel. If any
critical engine condition is detected, the
engine will derate power.
6 Throttle Lock. Allows operator to
pre-set the engine speed for a variety
of applications, resulting in faster cycle
times and increased productivity.
7 Rimpull Control System (RCS).
Has four factory preset, reduced rimpull
settings (90, 80, 70 and 60 percent of
rimpull). Reduced rimpull settings can
be modified by your Cat dealer to better
match ground conditions.
8 Rimpull Control System (RCS) Switch.
Turns RCS on and off.
9 Kickout Positioner Control. Allows the
operator to set customized upper, lower
and bucket dig angle kickouts for
maximum operating efficiency.
10 Optional Ride Control Switch.
Turns ride control to off or automatic
position.
11 Autoshift. Allows the operator to
set the maximum gear into which the
transmission will be allowed to shift.
This feature contributes to additional
comfort and focus on the job. The switch
also offers a manual position for operator
controlled shifting.
12 Optional Lock-up Clutch Torque
Converter Switch. Activates the lock-up
clutch for direct drive efficiency.
13 Loose Material Operating Mode.
Tailors hydraulics to provide maximum
loose material loading efficiency.
14 Front and Rear Window
Wiper/Washer. Are within easy reach to
help maintain a clear field of vision.
15 Viewing Area. Bonded front windshield
eliminates distracting metal frames for
excellent bucket and work site operator
visibility. An internal ROPS improves
peripheral viewing by eliminating the
large structure outside the cab.
