Milton CAT 14M - 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 14M 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.
Optional HVAC Precleaner. Increases
the service interval of the HVAC fresh
air filter by up to ten times.
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 (less
than 70 dB(A)) 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.
