Milton CAT 966H - Manual (Page 13)

The right side door opens 10°, or
completely for secondary exit simply by
pulling a pin. A full-length ladder on the
right side facilitates safe exit if needed.
STEERING OPTIONS. The 966H offers a
choice of steering systems to provide
flexibility for your application.
Conventional Steering. The conventional
steering configuration offers a low-effort
hand metering unit hydraulic steering
system. Load sensing steering directs
power through the steering system only
when needed. When not steering, more
engine power is available to generate
rimpull, breakout force, lift force, and
results in reduced fuel consumption.
The steering column tilts for maximum
operator comfort.
Command Control Steering. Command
Control Steering is a load-sensing system
that links the steering wheel and frame
angle positions to provide the proper
amount of steering control. The speed
the machine turns is proportional to the
steering wheel position. Less than 6 lb
(26 N) steering effort is required by the
operator, regardless of conditions.
Full machine articulation is accomplished
with a ±70° turn of the wheel – versus
two to three 360° turns of a conventional
steering wheel.
The Command Control Steering wheel
contains the forward/neutral/reverse
switch and the upshift/downshift button
– allowing the left hand to remain on the
steering wheel at all times. Implement
controls are integrated into the right
armrest so they move with the operator.
CONTROLS. The main control panel on
the 966H is located high on the right
ROPS post – keeping everything within
reach of the operator while maintaining
visibility to the ground. Keeping all
switches and controls conveniently
placed allows better efficiency and
improved productivity all while
minimizing operator fatigue.
AGGREGATE AUTODIG. The optional
Aggregate Autodig System provides
smoother loading cycles and consistently
full payloads without touching the
controls – reducing operator fatigue.
