Milton CAT 324D FM - Manual (Page 14)

Ground Level Service. The design and
layout of the 324D FM was made with
the service technician in mind. Many
service locations are easily accessible
at ground level allowing critical
maintenance to get done quickly
and efficiently.
Air Filter Compartment. The air filter
features a double-element construction
for superior cleaning efficiency. When the
air cleaner plugs, a warning is displayed
on the monitor screen inside the cab.
Pump Compartment. A service door
on the right side of the upper structure
allows ground-level access to the pump
and pilot filter.
Radiator Compartment. The left rear
service door allows easy access to the
engine radiator, oil cooler and air-to-air
aftercooler. A reserve tank and drain
cock are attached to the radiator for
simplified maintenance.
Grease Lubricated Track. Grease
lubricated seals protect the track link
and deliver long track pin and bushing
inner wear life.
Capsule Filter. The hydraulic return
filter, a capsule filter, is situated outside
the hydraulic tank. This filter prevents
contaminants from entering the system
when hydraulic oil is changed and
keeps the operation clean.
Fan Guard. Engine radiator fan is
completely enclosed by fine wire mesh,
reducing the risk of an accident.
Anti-Skid Plate. Anti-skid plate covers
top of storage box and upper structure
to prevent slipping during maintenance.
Diagnostics and Monitoring.
The 324D FM is equipped with S•O•S
SM
sampling ports and hydraulic test ports
for the hydraulic system, engine oil,
and for coolant. A test connection for
the Cat Electronic Technician (Cat ET)
service tool is located in the cab.
Extended Service Interval. 324D FM
service and maintenance intervals have
been extended to reduce machine
service time and increase machine
availability.
