User manual CATERPILLAR PS360C BROCHURE

[. . . ] The PS360C will achieve outstanding compaction results regardless of the application with its proven suspension design and flexible weight adjustment. 2 Ballasting The ballast compartments are positioned with a calculated balance of wheel to weight ratio. internal-frame baffles help prevent surges when water ballast is used. [. . . ] Multi-position operator station (optional) slides into three different positions and the seat pivots 30° in either direction to provide maximum visibility. Ballast Compartment Ballast options allow the machine to be tailored to specific weight capacities. Maximum operating weight of 25 000 kg (55, 115 lb) provides versatility for thick lifts. Ballast compartments accommodate water, sand or steel in order to provide varying weight capacities. Large cover plates on the operator's platform provide fill points for sand or steel. Water ballast can be emptied through a drain valve located on the chamber. R 5 Serviceability Less time on maintenance means more time on the job. Visual restriction indicators for the hydraulic oil filter and air filter. color-coded and numbered wires wrapped in nylon braid ensure system integrity and help simplify troubleshooting. Grouped pressure taps with quick-connect fittings simplify troubleshooting. Optional Equipment Standard and optional equipment may vary, contact your Caterpillar® dealer for details. Sliding Operator's Station includes a multi-position control console that slides into three locked positions: left, center and right. Suspension Seat is a mechanical seat that has vertical height and weight adjustments with armrests. Speedometer is calibrated in kilometers per hour (km/h) and miles per hour (mph) on an analog dial. The system includes a 19 L (5 gal) emulsion tank, electric pump and spray nozzles for each tire. Sun Canopy includes a sheet-metal structure that shields the operator's station from the sun. Heat Retention Shields include a belttype material that traps heat in order to prevent asphalt from adhering to the tire surfaces. Combined Ballast consists of four internal ballast blocks weighing 4064 kg (8, 960 lb), two steel blocks weighing 446 kg (982 lb) that are bolted to the front bumper, and two sets of of 51 mm (2") thick steel ballast plates weighing 3084 kg (6, 600 lb). [. . . ] The ballast compartments are positioned with a calculated balance of wheel to weight ratio. The ballast blocks provide a low center of gravity, resulting in good stability. The ballast blocks are positioned in the bottom of the mainframe near the center of the machine. [. . . ]
