Operator Environment
Safe.Comfortable.Efficient.
Electro-Hydraulic	(EH)	Joystick	Steering	with	
Force Feedback	(Speed	Sensitive)	
The	industry	leading	EH	joystick	steering	system	combines	
operator	comfort	and	precision	control	to	provide	a	
sustainable	work	environment	for	the	operator.	The	system	
incorporates	a	force	feedback	motor	that	automatically	adjusts	
the	effort	needed	to	tilt	the	ergonomic	joystick	based	on	
ground	speed,	resulting	in	superior	control	in	all	applications	
and	climates.	For	customers	who	prefer	a	steering	wheel,	an	
electrohydraulic	steering	wheel	is	available	as	an	option.	
Implement Controls (EH)
Seat	mounted	single	axis	implement	control	levers	provide	
the	operator	with	precise	control	of	the	work	tool,	all	
while	moving	with	the	seat	for	maximum	comfort.	In	cab	
programmable	kickouts	and	automatic	cylinder	snubbing	
maximize	operator	comfort	and	productivity	throughout	
their	shift.	Optional	implement	joysticks	are	available	
for 2V and	3V	hydraulics.	
Seat
The	Cat	Optimized	Seating	System	is	6way	adjustable	to	
accommodate	operators	of	all	sizes.	The	seat	has	a	one	
piece	high	back	that	supports	the	lumbar	area	of	the	back	
up	through	the	shoulders.	Both	armrests	are	large	and	can	
be	adjusted	up,	down,	fore,	and	aft	to	enhance	comfort	and	
convenience.	An	optional	feature	for	the	cab	seat	is	a	heated	
backrest	and cushion.	
Sound and Vibration
New	viscous	cab	mounts	connect	the	cab	to	the	frame	of	
the	machine,	decreasing	noise	and	vibration	the	operator	
is subjected	to.	This	contributes	to	a	wellrested	operator	
who	remains	efficient	and	productive.	All	Day.	Every	Day.	
Information Display
The	central	display	panel	has	a	large	text	box,	fi	ve	analog
like	gauges,	and	LED	warning	indicators.	The	large	text box	
provides	inlanguage	information	about	machine	operation,	
feature	activation	and	system	troubleshooting	and	calibration.	
With	the	5	large	analogtype	gauges	the	operator	can	easily	
identify	if	key	systems	are	within	normal	operating	range.	
A resettable	trip	totals	function	has	been	incorporated	to	
display	information	for	average	fuel	consumed,	total	fuel	
consumed,	idle	fuel,	idle	time,	operating	hours,	odometer, etc.	
The	navigation	buttons	are	located	on	the	side	of	the	screen	
and	help	assist	with	set	up	and	other	various	functions.
