PLATE 2788749 - Caterpillar

The lighter outlet is part of a 24 volt circuit. Do not use this outlet to operate 12 volt electrical components. Use of the lighter outlet to operate 12 volt electrical components may result in damage to the component and/or to the machine electrical system.
Throttle Control (19)
The throttle control is mounted on the floor of the operator's compartment. Depress the throttle control in order to increase the engine speed. Release the throttle control in order to decrease the engine speed.Ether Starting Aid Switch (20)
Excessive ether can cause piston and ring damage. Use ether for cold starting purposes only.
Ether Starting Aid - Ether will automatically be injected into the air intake during engine cranking if the ambient temperature calls for starting aid. If the engine speed is below 1900 rpm, pressing the switch allows the operator to inject an additional premeasured amount of ether, if necessary.Reference: For more information about using ether starting aid for cold starting purposes, refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Engine Starting".Right Service Brake Control (21)
The right brake pedal decelerates the machine. Depress the brake pedal for normal braking of the machine. Release the pedal in order to release the brake.Left Service Brake Control and Impeller Clutch Control (22)
The left service brake pedal controls both the brake pressure and the impeller clutch pressure. Partially depress the left brake pedal in order to reduce the impeller clutch pressure. The brake pressure is increased as the operator pushes down the pedal farther. This feature allows the operator to control the maximum drive train torque. Lowering the maximum drive train torque supplies more engine power to the implements and to the steering. This also stops excessive tire slippage during digging operations.When the machine is being operated on a grade, the left service brake pedal can be used to reduce machine speed without reducing engine speed.Window Wiper/Washer Switch (23)
Front Window Wiper and Window Washer - Turn the knob clockwise in order to turn on the window wiper. Push the knob in order to activate the window washer. Spring force will return the knob when the knob is released.
Rear Window Wiper and Window Washer - Turn the knob clockwise in order to turn on the window wiper. Push the knob in order to activate the window washer. Spring force will return the knob when the knob is released.Steering Control Console (24)
Push down on knob (24) in order to slide the entire steering console forward or backward. Release the knob in order to lock the steering console into position.Armrest Adjustment Lever (25)
Pull up on lever (25) in order to adjust the armrest to the desired height. Release lever (25) in order to lock the armrest into position.Reduced Rimpull Selection Switch (26)
A reduced rimpull will reduce the potential for tire slippage without reducing hydraulic efficiency. Each of the four settings of the reduced rimpull selection switch corresponds to a percentage of maximum rimpull.
80% Rimpull
70% Rimpull
55% Rimpull
45% RimpullNote: To change the percentage for each setting of the reduced rimpull selection switch, refer to
