CS-323C and CP-323C specifications
Electrical
The 24-volt electrical system consists
of two maintenance-free Caterpillar
batteries, color-coded and numbered
wiring wrapped in nylon braid. The
starting system provides 750 cold
cranking amps (cca). The system
includes a 55-amp alternator.
Steering
A priority-demand hydraulic power-
assist steering system provides smooth
low-effort steering. The steering system
has priority over other other hydraulic
functions.
Minimum turning radius:
Inside
2.62 m
(8' 7")
Outside
3.89 m
(12' 2")
Steering angle:
(each direction)
± 38°
Oscillation angle:
(each direction)
± 15°
Hydraulic system:
One 64 mm (2.5") bore, double-acting
cylinder powered by a gear-type pump.
Operator and Machine
Protective Equipment
Roll Over Protective Structure/Falling
Object Protective Structure (ROPS/FOPS)
canopy is a two-post structure that bolts
directly onto flanges welded to the
operator platform. The structure meets
SAE J1040 and SAE J231, ISO 3449
and ISO 3471.
Backup Alarm — 107 dB(A) alarm
sounds whenever the machine is in
reverse.
Forward Warning Horn — located on
the front of machine to alert ground
personnel.
Seat Belt — 76 mm (3") wide seat belt
is standard.
Brakes
Service brake features
• Closed-loop hydrostatic drive system
provides dynamic braking during
operation.
Secondary brake features*
• Spring-applied/hydraulically-released
multiple disc type brake mounted on
the drum drive gear reducer.
Secondary brakes are activated by a
button on the operator’s console, loss
of hydraulic pressure in the brake
circuit or when the engine is shut
down. A brake interlock system
prevents driving through the
secondary brake.
*Braking system meets SAE J1472.
Frame
Fabricated from structural steel plate
and joined at the articulation pivot. The
articulation area is structurally
reinforced and joined by hardened steel
pins. Two vertical pins provide a
steering angle of ± 38° and a horizontal
pin allows frame oscillation of ± 15°.
The articulation lock prevents machine
articulation when placed in the locked
position. Frame also includes tie-down
points for transport.
Instrumentation
The instrument panel is located in front
of the operator and features a warning
system that constantly monitors various
machine systems; alerts the operator if
a problem does occur with a light and
an audible warning horn. Warning
system includes: Low Engine Oil
Pressure, High Engine Coolant
Temperature, High Hydraulic Oil
Temperature and Low Charge System
Pressure. Instrumentation also includes
an Alternator Malfunction Light, Start
Aid Switch, Service Hour Meter and
Fuel Gauge.
