Intended Use
The 730C2 Articulated Truck is an earth-moving machine. The 730C2 Articulated Truck is classified as a dumper as described in ISO 6165:2012. This Articulated Truck is a self-propelled wheeled machine with an articulation frame to steer. This dumper has an open body that is intended for the following applications under normal conditions: transporting loose material and dumping loose material.Specified Useful Life or Expected Life
The specified useful life, defined as total years of operation, or expected life, defined as total machine hours, of this machine is dependent upon many factors including the machine owner’s desire to rebuild the machine back to factory specifications. Consult your Cat dealer for assistance in calculating overall owning and operating costs required to determine the machine’s specified useful life or expected life. The following items are required to obtain an economical specified useful life or expected life of this machine:
Perform regular preventive maintenance procedures as described in the Operation and Maintenance Manual.
Perform machine inspections as described in the Operation and Maintenance Manual and correct any problems discovered.
Perform system testing as described in the Operation and Maintenance Manual and correct any problems discovered.
Ensure that machine application conditions comply with Caterpillar’s recommendations.
Ensure that the operating weight does not exceed limits set by manufacturer.
Ensure that all frame cracks are identified, inspected, and repaired to prevent further development.Application/Configuration Restrictions
The Gross Machine Operating Weight (including payload) for the 730C2 Articulated Truck is 52870 kg (116558 lb).Use the machine only in environments that do not contain explosive gases.The braking systems and the steering systems in the 730C2 Articulated Truck are in compliance with ISO standards.The operator station is ROPS certified to ISO 3471:2008 and up to 13693 kg (30,188 lb) Tractor only mass.General Operating Restrictions
If this machine is used for purposes, other than areas described above, or in potentially dangerous environments, then special safety regulations must be followed. Consult your Cat dealer for more information. For example:
Flammable environments
Areas with dust containing asbestos
miscellaneousUse only in a non-explosive gas environment.Do not use to spread the load by raising the dump body while the machine is moving.Do not raise the empty or laden dump body when the machine is on an upward slope, as the truck could tip backward.Avoid conditions that can lead to tipping the machine. The machine can tip when you work on hills, banks and on upward and side slopes. The machine can tip when you cross ditches, ridges, or other unexpected obstacles.Avoid operating the machine across a slope as there are many factors that can adversely affect stability. For that reason, Caterpillar does not provide data for such operations.Center of Gravity
Caterpillar can provide machine center of gravity information to help determine stability and tip over limits. When requesting center of gravity locations, provide an accurate description of the machines consist, as attachments will affect these figures. Load and load placement have a significant impact on the stability of the loaded machine.
