Milton CAT 966H - Manual (Page 17)

ENGINE COMPARTMENT ACCESS.
The non-metallic hood on the 966H
has been redesigned and restyled from
previous models. Side and top panels are
stronger due to more robust reinforcement
ribs – the change in contour also adds to
rigidity of the hood.
A single mechanical lift cylinder
with manual back-up opens the hood.
The tilting hood provides excellent access
to the engine compartment, and if
necessary, the entire hood can be
removed with the built-in lift points.
With the hood closed, quick checks of
engine oil levels and the coolant sight
gauge can be completed through the
side service doors.
Panels located behind the tires lift up
and can be removed for additional access.
Roading fenders hinge from the rear and
swing out allowing easier access to the
engine compartment.
ECOLOGY DRAINS. Engine, transmission
and hydraulic oils can be easily drained
with standard-equipment ecology drains.
An axle oil ecology drain is optional.
ELECTRIC PRIMING PUMP. An electric
fuel priming pump located on the primary
fuel filter base eliminates the need to
pre-fill or manually prime filters after
a change, eliminating engine
contamination.
COOLING SYSTEM. Cooling system
access for clean-out and maintenance
is outstanding. The perforated and
corrugated grill minimizes debris build-
up and swings out for easy cleaning and
access to the cooling cores.
The full-width air conditioning condenser
and oil cooler cores swing out 45° to
allow easy cleaning of the rear radiator
face. Access panels on either side of the
radiator support structure provide access
to the front face of the radiator and
ATAAC cores for easy cleaning.
CAB. The entire operator station can be
removed in about 45 minutes and is easy
to re-attach. Quick disconnects are used
so no wires need to be cut and no
refrigerant is lost.
Cab cleaning is made easy with channels
on the cab floor and no threshold at the
door – the floor can be swept or mopped
out easily.
WINDSHIELD CLEANING PACKAGE.
An optional windshield cleaning package
consists of two steps for the loader front
frame, two additional handrails and a
folding mirror. This package allows
access to the entire front windshield
for easy cleaning.
