Cat Articulated Truck 740 User Manual download pdf (Page 8)

Ergonomic Layout. The controls and

layout of the cab are designed to make it

as easy to operate as your car. Quick, easy

to read and simple to operate, the controls

and gauges on the 740 allow the operator

to concentrate on production.

Dash. The Generation II wrap-around

dash puts all controls within easy reach of

the operator. Featuring LED illuminated

rocker switches, large LCD display and a

rear wash wipe rocker switch. It provides

an automotive feel with the industrial

strength you would expect from

Caterpillar.

Viewing Area. The low sloping hood

and placement of the cooling package

behind the cab give the operator excellent

all-around visibility. The large glass

area and central operator position also

provide excellent visibility.

Wipers. The wet arm wiper system

cleans more glass area and is bottom-

mounted to keep it out of the operator’s

line of sight. Windows are tinted to

reduce glare.

Differential Lock Controls. The inter-axle

differential lock is engaged/disengaged

by using a raised switch incorporated

into the drivers foot rest, for ease of

operation. For 100% lock up, all three

cross-axle differential locks act in unison

with the inter-axle differential lock

when the foot switch is activated

and a dash mounted switch is selected.

Disengaging the foot switch opens

all differential locks immediately.

Transmission and Hoist Levers.

The hoist lever provides easy, comfortable

operation. The transmission lever offers

excellent comfort, along with the control

for top gear limit, transmission hold

and neutral lock.

Suspended Pedals. Easy to operate

and reach with plenty of leg and foot

room. They also make for easier cleaning

of the cab floor by keeping the pedals

out of the dirt.

Cat 2S Monitoring System. Provides an

improved method of monitoring critical

machine functions and alerts the operator

to an immediate or impending problem.

The system includes four levels of

warning.
