Long Service Intervals. Long engine oil
change and hydraulic oil change intervals
lower maintenance costs and downtime.
Wheel-bearing adjustment is completely
eliminated.
Lube Points. Lube points are grouped
at the rear of the front frame and the
front of the rear frame. Universal joints
are lubed for life, eliminating servicing.
Autolube is optional.
Service Points. Engine and transmission
dipstick and fill caps, air and fuel filters,
and the fuel priming pump are all
mounted on the left side of the engine
under the hood. Coolant level indicator
and fill cap are outside the cab.
Radiator. The radiator package is
located behind the cab, which provides
protection from frontal impacts and offers
easy access to the inlet and outlet sides
of the radiator. The ATAAC radiator
is located at the front of the truck.
Extended Life Coolant. Extends the
change interval and improves component
life by reducing aluminum corrosion.
Hood. The hood is raised and lowered
electrically, minimizing operator effort
when servicing the machine.
Electrical Service Center. Located inside
the cab, this service center provides a
power port, diagnostic connector and
Cat Data Link connector.
Cat Data Link Connector. The Cat Data
Link connector provides a plug-in using
a laptop computer with Electronic
Technician (ET) software. The Cat
Data Link port performs programming
functions on all electronic controls.
Service Access. The cab tilts to the side
to provide easy access underneath, which
simplifies servicing of the transmission,
drive shafts and hydraulic pumps.
Machine electrical and hydraulic
interfaces are located on the right side
of the cab, behind a removable cab
body panel for easy access.
Integrated Transmission Package.
The transmission integrates the
transmission pump and torque converter
into a single package. Because the
transmission is an integral design,
it eliminates many of the external
hoses, resulting in less servicing
and higher reliability.
Engine and Transmission Removal.
The front frame design allows the
engine and transmission to be removed
and installed in one piece.
Truck Transport. The suspension
system eliminates the need to lower the
suspension when transporting the truck,
reducing maintenance and downtime.
Output Transfer Gear. Provides lubrication
of all bearings and clutches using a
distributed-pressure lubricated and
filtered system. Good lubrication and
filtration reduce service and repair.
