supplies pressure flow to fixed-displacement
hydraulic motors that drive the front and rear drums.
The CB-225E propel system shall consist of a
variable-displacement piston pump that supplies
pressure flow to a fixed-displacement hydraulic
motor that drives the front drum, and the pump shall
supply pressure flow to two fixed-displacement
motors that drive the rear wheels.
A back-up alarm shall emit an audible alarm
whenever the machine is shifted into reverse.
STEERING
Steering shall be fully hydrostatic. The CB-214E
turning radius shall not exceed 2510 mm (99")
measured at the inside edge of the drum. The CB-
224E and CB-225E turning radius shall not exceed
2410 mm (95") measured at the inside edge of the
drum. The steering system shall be a dedicated
system, ensuring steering power regardless of other
hydraulic demands. The steering shall utilize one
double-acting steering cylinder, powered by a
geroter hand metering unit. All steering pivot points
shall have self-aligning bushings

minutes. An optional 70 L (18.5 gal) water tank
shall be available to increase the total water tank
capacity to 220 L (58 gal).
An electrical motor shall drive a water pump,
providing pressurized water to fan type spray
nozzles above each drum. It must be possible to
operate the pump with the water tank dry without
causing damage to the pump. Spray shall be
selectable for either continuous or intermittent
operation. Nozzles are to be removable without the
need for tools. The spray system shall include fill
spout strainers, an in-line water filter for the pump
and filters on each spray nozzle.
TIRE WETTING SYSTEM
The CB-225E shall be equipped with a Tire Wetting
System that allows a solvent to be sprayed on the tire
surfaces. The system shall be controlled with a
momentary switch on the control console. The switch
shall have two positions, on and off. The switch must
be held in the on position to activate the system. Once
the switch is released, it shall spring back to the off
position. Spray bars shall be constructed of corrosion-
resistant materials. One spray nozzle shall be
positioned above each tire.
The system shall be fed by a 70 L (18.5 gal) tank
located under the operator’s platform, and the fill
neck is accessed through a panel on the floor of the
operator’s station. The Tire Wetting System shall be
powered by its own electric pump.
