BUILT FOR LONG LIFE
- Protect hydraulic components in cold weather. The auto warm-up feature speeds hydraulic oil warming in cooler temperatures.
- The fuel system is protected from contamination of fuel by three levels of filtration.
- Bottom guarding protects engine and hydraulic components from damage while swinging and traveling.
- The hydraulic tank with a new oval shape designed to improve stress resistance.
- The strong X-structure lower frame carries loads from the excavator's upper structure to the track.
- Travel motor hydraulic lines are routed inside of the frame to protect them from damage.
- The sloped track frame design prevents mud and debris from accumulating and damaging tracks.
- The grease lubricated tracks have grease sealed between the pin and bushing to prevent debris from entering and reducing life.
- The track rollers are rebuild-able and sealed to prevent dirt and debris causing wear of internal components.
- A bolt-on track guiding guard helps maintain track alignment while traveling or working on slopes.
SIMPLE TO OPERATE
- You can navigate quickly on the standard, high-resolution 8 in (203 mm) touchscreen monitor or with the optional 10 in (254 m) touchscreen monitor or with the aid of the jog dial control.
- A second 10 in (254 mm) monitor is available for the advanced grade control.
- Easy keyless push-to-start engine using your Bluetooth key fob, or your smartphone to enable the pushbutton start feature.
- Match the excavator's operation to your digging style by adjusting the joystick response and programming the function of each joystick button.
- Easily use the monitor to change the joystick pattern from the cab. You can choose two-way or four-way patterns options. Store your pattern preference and let the machine automatically set the pattern when you log in with your unique Operator ID.
- Not sure how a function works or how to maintain the excavator? Always have the operator's manual at your fingertips in the touchscreen monitor..
MAINTENANCE
- Extended maintenance intervals reduce maintenance costs by 15% over the Cat 323F excavator. (15% savings calculated over 12000 machine hours.)
- Reversing electric cooling fans make it easy to clean radiator, oil coolers, and condensers.
- An all-new engine air cleaner with integrated pre-cleaner has twice the life of radial seal air cleaners.
- The new hydraulic oil filter provides improved filtration performance, anti-drain valves to keep oil clean when the filter is replaced, and longer life with a 3000 hour replacement interval - 50% longer than previous filter designs.
- Track your excavator's filter life and maintenance intervals can via the in-cab monitor.
- Check engine oil level quickly and safely with the new engine oil dip stick located on ground level.
- S·O·S ports with extended sampling intervals are on ground level, simplifying maintenance and allows for quick easy extraction of samples for fluid analysis.
SAFETY
- Work safely under structures or near traffic with the standard 2D E-fence feature integrated right out of the factory, which prevents any part of the excavator from moving outside operator-defined set points, avoiding hazards and jobsite accidents.
