Milton CAT 160M - Manual (Page 5)

Advanced Joystick Controls.
Two electro-hydraulic joysticks reduce
hand and wrist movement as much as
78% compared to conventional lever
controls for greatly enhanced operator
efficiency. The intuitive pattern is easy to
learn and provides the precise implement
control you expect from Caterpillar.
Auxiliary Pod and Ripper Control.
The optional ripper control and auxiliary
control pod are ergonomically positioned
to allow simple, comfortable operation
for the multiple hydraulic options.
Visibility. The 160M boasts excellent
visibility to the work area, made possible
with angled cab doors, a tapered engine
enclosure and a patented sloped
rear window.
Cat Comfort Series Seat. The Cat ®
Comfort Series suspension seat has an
ergonomic high-back design, with extra
thick contoured cushions and infinitely
adjustable lumbar support that evenly
distributes the operator’s weight.
Multiple seat controls and armrests
are easy to adjust for optimal support
and comfort all day. The optional air
suspension seat enhances ride quality
for additional comfort.
In-Dash Instrument Cluster.
The instrument panel, with easy-to-read,
high-visibility gauges and warning lamps,
keeps the operator aware of critical
system information.
Cat Messenger. Cat Messenger provides
real-time machine performance and
diagnostic data. You can quickly view
critical performance and operating
information, in multiple languages,
helping to maximize the life and
productivity of the machine.
Controls and Switches. Reliable, long-
life rocker switches are located on the
right side cab post and front instrument
cluster, within easy reach for the operator.
Comfort and Convenience. Caterpillar has
built the most comfortable cab in the
industry by replacing the control levers
and steering wheel with two joystick
controls, and lengthening the cab to
give more leg room.
Multiple adjustment capabilities for the
arm rest, wrist rests and joystick pods
help keep the operator comfortable
throughout a long shift.
Optional HVAC. The optional heating,
ventilation and air conditioning system
uses intelligent vent placement for
consistent climate control and clear
windows for every condition. The high-
capacity system dehumidifies air and
pressurizes the cab, circulating fresh air
and sealing out dust. An easily accessible
fresh air filter is located outside the cab
at ground level for quick replacement
or cleaning.
Low Interior Sound and Vibration Levels.
Isolation mounts for the cab, engine and
transmission, in addition to the relocation
of the hydraulic pump and valves, provide
significant sound and vibration reductions.
The low vibration levels and quiet interior
provide a comfortable work environment.
Additional Cab Features. Additional cab
features include cup holder, lighter and
ashtray, coat hook, storage area, night
time light, power port and heater.
Optional rearview camera, 25 amp
power converter and satellite radio
are also available.
