ADEM A4 Control Module. Controls engine rpm by adjusting the fuel duration, which results in quicker starts in hot and cold weather, better fuel economy, better operator response, and automatic compensation for altitude and filter plugging. Reduced Exhaust Smoke. The ADEM A4 controller monitors electronic sensors to determine the optimum fuel/air ratio. Fuel is precisely controlled during cranking, starting and acceleration to reduce smoke. The Engine Electronics are faster and more efficient than mechanically controlling the governor rack position. Altitude Compensation. The system...

Engine Speed Lock Controller. Enhances operation during long haul cycles by allowing the operator to maintain a desired engine speed without maintaining pressure on the throttle. Simplified Transmission Control. Simplifies gear selection (1st, 2nd, Drive and Reverse) and allows operator-defined top gear control. Relocating the gear control to the rear increases operator legroom. Neutral Lock . The neutral lock thumb control must be pressed to move the shifter from neutral. To use the top gear button, the operator must hold the yellow button until the gear display indicates the desired top...

Scraper Bowl Designed for optimum loading, material retention and ejection. Redesigned Bowl. The redesigned bowl minimizes falling material lodging between the bowl and the draft arm, which can result in premature wear. The modifications also provide better load retention on level ground or traversing down a grade. Bowl capacity has been increased by 3 yd3 (2.3 m3), allowing more material to be moved. • Low-profile bowl design offers less resistance to incoming materials. Cellular construction adds strength and dent resistance to bowl sides and floor. Bulldozer Ejection System. Cat...
