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 reads 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. Ether Starting Aid. The ADEM A4 controller...

Power Train – Transmission Integrated electronics allow the machine to monitor the entire power train, reducing component stress and providing a better ride. Differential Control. Electronic differential lock helps prevent the drive wheels from spinning in poor underfoot conditions. The operator engages the differential lock with a foot control located in the cab. Neutral Coast Inhibitor. Prevents the transmission from shifting into neutral if the operator selects neutral while moving. The transmission control will select the proper gear for the given engine rpm and ground speed. Final...

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. Caterpillar Ground Engaging Tools (G.E.T.). A wide variety of Ground Engaging Tools (GET) options such as standard, serrated, and abrasion resistant material (ARM) are available to optimize scraper loading in various materials. For example, ARM scraper cutting edges and router bits will provide up to five times the wear life of conventional edges and router bits in high wear, low impact applications. Depending on applications, the serrated cutting edge may be more cost effective than the integrated tooth cutting...
