Milton CAT 315D L - Manual (Page 5)

Hydraulics
High efficiency and performance with low effort and precise control.
Outstanding Performance
With two percent more hydraulic pressure for additional lift
and breakout forces, the 315D L hydraulic system is designed
for high efficiency and performance. Auxiliary hydraulic and
electrical lines are routed to the boom foot making installation of
hydraulic circuits much easier. The new compact design utilizes
shorter tubes and lines, reducing friction and pressure drops,
resulting in a more efficient use of power.
• Hydraulic snubbers at the rod end of the boom cylinders and
both ends of the stick cylinders cushion shock, reduce sound
and increase cylinder life.
• Flow is reduced to a minimum when controls are in neutral
to reduce fuel consumption and extend component life.
• Hydraulic Cross-Sensing System uses two hydraulic pumps
to 100 percent of engine power under all operating conditions,
improving productivity with faster implement speeds and
quicker, stronger pivot turns.
• Improved balance and lift capacity with six percent increase
in additional counterweight.
Boom and Stick Regeneration Circuit
The boom and stick regeneration circuit saves energy during
boom-down and stick-in operation, increasing efficiency and
lowering operating cost.
Easy Operation
Work mode and power mode switches have been eliminated
making full power available at all times. Operators do not
need to learn different modes, an automatic boom and swing
priority function automatically selects the best mode based
on joystick movement.
