lane milling in two passes for high
efficiency.
Pressurized water spray system,
controls dust and cools cutting teeth.
Automatically turns off when the
machine is stopped.
Liquid-filled mandrel dissipates surface
heat and cools internal gear reducer.
Optional Bolt-on tool holder allows for
changing of tool holders without
welding.

Front Loading Conveyor

High capacity and versatility adds to productivity.

762 mm (30") wide discharge conveyor

with hydraulically controlled height
adjustment and 45º swing in both
directions.
914 mm (36") wide collecting conveyor
loads easily and clears out the cutter
box effectively.
Seamless, cleated belts offer longer
life and better control of fine particles.
Standard water spray lubricates and
cools cutting teeth while controlling
dust on lower belt.
Variable belt speed controls upper
belt loading to match material type
and amount.
Conveyor boost casts material farther
to load long trucks.

Operator’s Station
Designed for comfort and efficiency.

CMS (Computerized Monitoring

System) displays all vital system
conditions with three operator warning
levels.
Dual operating controls including
steering wheels, propel levers, conveyor
and grade/slope system.
Clear control and instrumentation
layout designed for ease of use.
Low sound levels help the operator
and ground crew communicate
effectively.
Warning horns and shut-down buttons
located at ground level and at the
operator’s station.

Electronic Control Module

Technology that makes operation and service simple.

Reliable Caterpillar technology

achieves maximum productivity and
simplifies troubleshooting.
Automatic load control keeps
machine working at peak performance.
Self-diagnostics provide warnings on
potential system problems.

4
Non-Contact Grade and Slope Control
Accuracy and reliability produce high-quality results.

Non-contact sensors on each side are

easy to position and read a variety of
references.
Consistent accuracy to ± 3 mm (1/8").
Simple set-up and operation from
ground level or at operator’s console.
Constant read-out for rotor height
and slope at ground level and at
operator’s station.
Standard cross-slope adds to system
versatility.

Serviceability
Less time on maintenance means more time on the job.

Power lift engine hood provides

walk-in access to engine and
hydraulic components.
Electronic control module provides
self-diagnostics for operator or service
personnel.
Swing-open cover allows access to
radiator and oil cooler.
Machine tow package provides an
auxiliary hydraulic motor that allows
for raising the rotor, steering the rear
tracks and releasing parking brake.
