User manual KAWAI XS-1

[. . . ] The Cat® XS-1 with split drum design, permits tight turns and significantly reduces tearing so the operator is free to concentrate on pattern accuracy and keeping up with the paver. Selecting the amplitude that provides the correct force and selecting the frequency that matches paving speed are critical to successful asphalt compaction. cat® asphalt compactors offer vibratory systems with dual amplitudes and frequencies. Vibratory versatility and the knowledge to use it are fundamental and part of the Caterpillar solution. [. . . ] Spray can be set on continuous for maximum wetting action or intermittent for maximum duration between fill-ups. The sloping design provides excellent machine visibility to the drum while the single fill point can be accessed from the left side of the machine. Excellent Filtration Keeping the spray nozzles free of foreign particles is essential to asphalt compaction. The filters are highly accessible and can be quickly removed for cleaning without the use of special tools, limiting machine downtime. Long-Life Pumps 4 Dual water pumps provide the necessary flow to the spray nozzles. During operation the pump usage alternates with the direction of travel so that only one pump operates at a time. Alternating pump usage extends the operational life, while lowering replacement costs. Split Drums Superior mat finish with Caterpillar split drums Tight Turning Without Tearing An inside turning radius of 2. 8 meters significantly increases the maneuverability of this high production asphalt compactor. An effective split drum propel system lets you use the tight turning radius without damaging the hot mat. 3 meter drum offset provides more coverage for higher production on thin mats while minimizing heat loss prior to compaction. The right hand window can be easily opened for additional side visibility when required. Good all-around visibility enables the operator to optimizes water spray performance and compaction coverage when operating in the offset steering mode. Keeping the job site in clear view is important when working close to the paver. The multi-position seating provides a variety of adjustments that help the operator stay focused and in control. A tilting steering column and multiple seat adjustments allow the operator to customize weight, height, armrests, and the backrest to suit their individual needs. Automatic Speed Control (ASC) A speed control dial used in conjunction with the propel lever provides a cruise control type feature that allows the operator to meet the required speed to keep pace with the paver. By moving the propel lever to full forward or to full reverse allows the machine to travel at the speed determined by the adjustable dial. Convenient Controls Comfortable Seating At Caterpillar, we strive to build machines that accommodate operators with all types of skill level. We understand that providing machines that perform well regardless of skill level can lead to greater productivity. convenient layout and easy-tounderstand controls build operator confidence. Being able to locate controls and understand their function allows operators to work more effectively, leading to better performance and higher productivity. [. . . ] A single propel lever located besides the operator seat provides smooth hydrostatic control of the machine's infinitely variable speed in both forward and reverse. The Automatic Speed Control (ASC) system is a hydraulic control device allowing precise operating speed to be preset and maintained without further adjustment. steering Electric over hydraulic with active steering feedback feature. This feature provides a unique operation sensitivity when at end of stroke or maneuvering close to vertical obstacles. [. . . ]
