Milton CAT 980H - Manual (Page 13)

Controls. The main control panel on
the 980H is located high on the right
ROPS post – keeping everything within
reach of the operator while maintaining
visibility to the ground. Clear graphical
symbols make the switches easy to
understand and operate.
Keeping all switches and controls
conveniently placed allows better
efficiency and improved productivity
all while minimizing operator fatigue.
Seats. The Cat C-500 Series Comfort
seat is built strong and durable and is
6-way adjustable to accommodate
all-sized operators. The cast one-piece
back and seat pan prevent protrusions
under the cushions. The seat features
an automotive-style lumbar support
for maximum comfort. The right hand
armrest with integrated implement
controls adjusts for comfortable
convenient operation.
A heated seat option is available for
additional comfort in cold conditions.
Ease of Operation. 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 26 N
(6 lb) 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 shift
while remaining on the steering wheel
at all times. Implement controls are
integrated into the right armrest so
they move with the operator.
