outstanding performance which
can mean more work done in a day,
less fuel consumption and minimal
impact on our environment.
Low exhaust emissions. The Cat C18
diesel engine utilizes unique ACERT
technology to meet exhaust emissions
regulations while assuring optimum
fuel efficiency.
Quiet operation. The hydraulically
driven cooling fan is thermostatically
controlled, so the fan only runs at the
speed necessary to maintain correct
system operating temperatures. The
result is cool quiet operation with less
disturbance to the surrounding
environment.
Ozone protection. To help preserve
the earths ozone layer, the air
conditioning unit uses only R-134a
refrigerant which does not contain
harmful chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).
Fewer leaks and spills. Engine oil and
encapsulated hydraulic oil filters are
positioned vertically and are easy to reach
to minimize spillage. Service intervals are
extended to reduce the times fluids are
changed and handled. The new hydraulic
oil fine filtration system attachment
extends the service interval from 2000 to
5000 hours. Compatible with Cat HEES
hydraulic bio-oil for ecologically sensitive
applications. Finally, the new Cat
Extended Life Coolant extends service
