Note (2)
The Auto Mode setting controls water coverage and automatically adjusts to the number of spray heads being used — independent of ground speed. This is an exclusive feature designed into the Cat WDS software to help water more efficiently. Water flow is continually adjusted during operation to conserve water and achieve desired coverage and flow rate.
Power rating applies at 1,800 rpm when tested under the specified condition for the specified standard.
No engine derating required up to 3048 m (10,000 ft) altitude.
Note (3)
When the truck speed drops below 4.8 kph (3 mph), the system shuts off automatically to prevent overwatering, and then automatically re-starts as speed increases.
Ratings based on SAE J1995 standard air conditions of 25° C (77° F) and 100 kPa (29.61 Hg) barometer. Power based on fuel having API gravity of 35 at 16° C (60° F) and an LHV of 42 780 kJ/kg (18,390 BTU/lb) when engine used at 30° C (86° F).
Meets China Nonroad Stage III emission standards equivalent to U.S. EPA Tier 2.
Note (4)
Spray heads on competitive water distribution systems require tools and maintenance to change flow and spray pattern. Caterpillar is the only company to have variable active spray heads to regulate water spray.
No engine derating required up to 2286 m (7,500 ft) for HRC and 4572 m (15,000 ft) for LRC machines.
