Milton CAT D8T Tier 4 Interim-Stage IIIB - Manual (Page 6)

Implement and Steering Controls
Ergonomically designed for ease of operation
Steering and Transmission Control
A new steering tiller is ergonomically designed to improve operator comfort. The new thumb roller on the steering control shifts
the electronically controlled powershift transmission. The tiller allows precise steering in close areas with the finest modulation
in the industry.
Dozer Control Lever
The D8T features an ergonomically designed dozer lever with low effort, electro-hydraulic controls for added operator comfort,
ease of operation and precise work tool control. Features such as blade response, blade float, auto blade pitch and spread rate
can be set up and adjusted using the Advisor panel. When equipped, single-handle convenience also controls functions like
AccuGrade, Auto Blade Assist, AutoCarry™, Cat Grade Control and Dual Tilt.
Electronic Ripper Control
A rigidly mounted handgrip provides firm support for the operator even when ripping in the roughest terrain. Thumb and
fingertip controls direct ripper functions. Programmable features like Auto Lift, Shank-Out, Auto Stow and Automatic Ripper
Control help increase operator efficiency.
Throttle Rocker Switch
One touch of the throttle rocker switch automatically adjusts engine speed to high or low idle. A new feature allows the
operator to press and hold until desired engine speed is reached, then release for the machine to maintain the new chosen speed.
