COVER AS 8N6534 - Caterpillar

Machine Operating Temperature Range
The standard machine configuration is intended for use within an ambient temperature range of −40 °C (−40 °F) to 43 °C (110 °F). Special configurations for different ambient temperatures may be available. Consult your Cat dealer for additional information on special configurations of your machine.Downhill Operation
Maintain a ground speed that is slow enough for the conditions. Before you operate down a hill, select the proper gear before you start down the grade. The proper gear should allow the machine to maintain the appropriate speed on the down grade. The throttle control should not be at high idle and the engine should not overspeed. In most situations, the proper gear will be the same gear that is required to drive up the grade.If the machine builds up excessive speed, the engine can overspeed. Overspeed can result in damage to the engine, the hydraulic pump and/or the power train. Use the left service brake pedal or the engine brake (if equipped) in order to slow the machine until a lower gear can be selected. Select the lower gear and proceed.The brake oil can overheat in the following conditions:
Use of the right service brake continuously in order to control travel speed.
Use of the right service brake pedal in order to stop at high speedsOverheating can result in significant wear and/or damage to the right service brake pedal and final drive. Note: The left service brake pedal may be used for downhill braking. The left service brake pedal will downshift the transmission to a lower gear. The left service brake pedal will not downshift the transmission to a lower gear if an engine overspeed would result.Changing Direction and Speed
Speed changes at full engine speed and directional changes at full engine speed are possible. However, when you change directions, deceleration will maximize the comfort of the operator. In order to control the throttle, use the left brake pedal to decelerate. Deceleration will also maximize the service life of power train components.Engine Idle Management System
The Engine Idle Management System is designed to help maximize fuel efficiency. “EIMS” allows flexibility to manage idle speeds. The “EIMS” engine software comes with four idle control settings: “hibernate mode”, work mode, low voltage mode and warm-up mode.Hibernate Mode
If your machine has higher idle time, “hibernate mode” will provide lower fuel consumption, reduced sound level, and reduced emissions levels. Fuel consumption savings will vary by the model of the machine and work cycle. The “hibernate mode” is engaged after 10 seconds and the following conditions are met:
The transmission is in neutral.
The parking brake is set.
The throttle pedal is depressed 5% or less.
Current is greater than 0.8 amp in the fan.Note: The “EIMS hibernate” engine idle speed can be adjusted by your dealer. The programmable range for the “hibernate mode” is 600 rpm to 825 rpm.The machine will return to the engine idle speed for work mode with the release of the parking brake, a directional shift of the machine, or a push of the governor pedal.Work
