Brake Design. Cat oil-cooled discbrakes are designed with large discsand plates for reliable, adjustment-freeoperation and performance. Brakes arecompletely enclosed and sealed toprevent contamination and reducemaintenance.

Long Life. An oil film prevents directcontact between the discs. This designabsorbs the braking forces by shearingthe oil molecules and carrying heataway to extend brake life.

Automatic Retarder Control (ARC).Electronically controls retarding ongrade to maintain optimum engine rpmand oil cooling. Additional braking maybe applied using the manual retarder orthe brake pedal.

Faster Speeds. ARC allows the operatorto maintain optimum engine speeds forfaster downhill hauls and greaterproductivity.

Superior Control. Automatic brakemodulation offers a smoother ride andbetter control in slippery conditions,allowing the operator to concentrateon driving.

Ease of Operation. ARC increasesoperating ease, resulting in greateroperator confidence with less fatigue.

Engine Overspeed Protection.Automatically activates ARC whenengine speed exceeds factory presetlevels, regardless of operator inputs,to avoid potentially damaging engineoverspeeds.

Fuel Efficiency. The engine providesadditional retarding by running againstcompression on downhill hauls. Duringretarding applications the engine ECMreduces fuel injection to minimum valueor exceptional fuel economy.

Gradeability/Speed/Rimpull

To determine gradeability performance: Read from grossweight down to the percent of total resistance. Total resistanceequals actual percent grade plus rolling resistance as a generalguide use 2% for rolling resistance in underground applicationor refer to the Cat Performance Handbook. From the total

resistance point, read horizontally to the curve with thehighest obtainable gear, then down to maximum speed.Usable rimpull will depend upon traction available andweight on drive wheels.
