Milton CAT 160M - Manual (Page 10)

Smooth Shifting Transmission. The
160M combines several key innovations
to ensure smooth, powerful shifts
throughout the gear range.
Electronically Controlled Shifting. The
full Electronic Clutch Pressure Control
(ECPC) system optimizes inching
modulation and smooths shifting
between all gears and directional
changes. This provides outstanding
control and also extends the life of the
transmission by reducing stress on
gears.
Load Compensation. This standard
feature ensures consistent shift quality
regardless of blade or machine load.
Controlled Throttle Shifting. This
standard feature helps to smooth
directional and gear changes without
use of the inching pedal.
Engine Over-Speed Protection. Helps
protect the transmission and extend
component life by preventing
downshifting until a safe travel speed
has been established.
Power Shift Countershaft Transmission.
Designed and manufactured specifically
for the 160M motor grader, the direct
drive countershaft transmission is
matched with the powerful Cat C9
engine to maximize power to the
ground.
Modular Rear Axle. The 160M
incorporates a bolt-on modular rear axle
design, which offers easy access to
differential components, improves
serviceability and contamination
control, and lowers maintenance time
and operating costs. The result is a
rugged machine you can rely on for
years to come.
