CAT Wheel Loader Automobile User Manual


 
SIGHT GAUGES. Well-protected, yet
easily visible sight gauges for the
transmission, hydraulic oil and radiator
coolant allow easy daily checks while
reducing the risk of contaminants
entering the systems.
BRAKE WEAR INDICATORS. Axles are
equipped with standard brake wear
indicators, allowing a technician to
easily determine when it is necessary to
service the brakes.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT ACCESS. The
non-metallic hood on the 950H has
been redesigned and restyled from
previous models. Side and top panels
are stronger due to more robust
reinforcement ribs - the change in
contour also adds to rigidity of the
hood.
A single mechanical lift cylinder with
manual back-up opens the hood. The
tilting hood provides excellent access to
the engine compartment, and if
necessary, the entire hood can be
removed with the built-in lift points.
With the hood closed, quick checks of
engine oil levels and the coolant sight
gauge can be completed through the
side service doors.
Panels located behind the tires lift up
and can be removed for additional
access. Roading fenders hinge from the
rear and swing out allowing easier
access to the engine compartment.
ELECTRIC PRIMING PUMP. An electric
fuel priming pump located on the
primary fuel filter base eliminates the
need to pre-fill or manually prime filters
after a change, eliminating engine
contamination.
ECOLOGY DRAINS. Engine,
transmission and hydraulic oils can be
easily drained with standard-equipment
ecology drains. An axle oil ecology
drain is optional.
COOLING SYSTEM. Cooling system
access for clean-out and maintenance is
outstanding. The perforated and
corrugated grill minimizes debris build-
up and swings out for easy cleaning and
access to the cooling cores.
The full-width air conditioning
condenser and oil cooler cores swing
out 45° to allow easy cleaning of the
rear radiator face. Access panels on
either side of the radiator support
structure provide access to the front
face of the radiator and ATAAC cores
for easy cleaning.
CAB. The entire operator station can be
removed in about 45 minutes and is
easy to re-attach. Quick disconnects are
used so no wires need to be cut and no
refrigerant is lost.
Cab cleaning is made easy with
channels on the cab floor and no
threshold at the door - the floor can be
swept or mopped out easily.
WINDSHIELD CLEANING PACKAGE. An
optional windshield cleaning package
consists of two steps for the loader front
frame, two additional handrails and a
folding mirror. This package allows
access to the entire front windshield for
easy cleaning.
COMPLETE CUSTOMER SUPPORT. Cat
field service technicians have the
experience and tools necessary to
service your loader on site. Technical
experts at the dealership and Caterpillar
can provide additional assistance to
field service technicians as needed.
