Milton CAT D6K - Manual (Page 8)

Operator Station. The operator station
features an ergonomic layout emphasizing
simplicity, ease of use and comfort.
Standard air conditioning, generous leg
room and superior visibility allow the
operator to focus on the job. With more
glass area, the operator station provides
a clear view to the blade and the
surrounding work site.
Air suspended seat. The Caterpillar
C500 Comfort air suspended seat is
available in cloth or vinyl and is fully
adjustable, for maximum operator
comfort. A standard lumbar adjustment
provides excellent lower back support.
For comfortable operation in cold
weather, a heated cloth seat is available.
Seat-mounted controls. For optimum
comfort and precise control, the D6K
features ergonomically designed
seat-mounted controls. Seat-mounted
controls isolate vibrations from the
operator, and provide independent seat
and controls adjustment. Individual
wrist pads and armrests can be adjusted
independently for optimum comfort.
Electro-hydraulic controls. New electro-
hydraulic controls provide quick
steering response, precise blade control,
and comfortable, low-effort operation.
Instrument Cluster. The compact
instrument cluster (shown with optional
AccuGrade GPS display) keeps the
operator aware of all vital machine
functions. The advanced monitoring
system tracks machine operating
conditions and informs the operator
of impending problems. The monitoring
system includes:
• Alert indicators: action lamp
(3 warning categories), electrical
system
• Indicators: parking brake, engine oil
pressure, engine air filter, hydraulic
oil filter, electrical preheat, operator
presence, blade float, machine
security system, fuel system service,
implement lockout
• Gauges: hydraulic oil temperature,
engine coolant temperature, fuel level
• Digital display: service hours,
selected forward and reverse speeds
Messenger. Messenger is an electronic
monitoring system with real-time,
visual feedback on engine and machine
operating conditions. It provides
information on machine performance,
fuel consumption, diagnostics, and
allows the operator to set some
parameters, such as implement and
steering modulation.
