Low Effort Machine Controls.Ergonomic, pilot hydraulic controlsgive operators precision control of theCat Skid Steer Loader with minimaleffort. The right joystick controls loaderup/down and tilt control, and the leftjoystick controls forward and reversetravel speed plus direction. Both joysticksuse an intuitive “S” control pattern.Optional deluxe joysticks now providemore auxiliary controls than before,using positive-action buttons to provide

precision fingertip control of manymachine functions, including:

• Proportional work tool hydraulics

• Work tool electrical

Basic and Deluxe joystick functionsinclude:

• One-touch continuous auxiliaryhydraulic flow

• Momentary auxiliary hydraulic flow

Cab Conveniences. Long hours in theCat Skid Steer Loader are made easierby many standard conveniences,including a 12 volt DC power socket.Side, sliding windows offer protectionfrom the elements and allow fresh airventilation. Redesigned side windowsare removable for easy cleaning.Cabs with the door option installedfeature a new, automatic lock-outswitch that prevents accidental damageby disabling the loader functions whenthe door is open.

High-Efficiency Climate Controls.Operating in extreme temperatures canbe more comfortable with the optionalcab air conditioner and heater. Airflowis increased up to 83 percent and nowdirected through six adjustable vents.Twice as many vents makes defrostingthe optional front door and side windowseasier. The heater and air conditionercan be ordered separately or together.

Instrumentation. Cat Skid Steer Loaderinstrument panels and gauges are simple,easy to use and reliable. Bright indicatorlights and audible warnings signal anycritical system situation. Positive feelswitches, with status lights, controlmost on/off functions. An engine aircleaner restriction indicator is nowin the cab for easier monitoring.

Visibility. Operating ease andproductivity is enhanced on theCat Skid Steer Loader with excellentvisibility. The wide cab opening offersan exceptional view of the work tool.The sloped angle of the enginecompartment allows excellent visibilityto the rear of the machine. A new,standard convex rearview mirror givesthe operator a panoramic view of themachine’s rear and sides. In addition,for even better visibility in low-lightconditions, the standard forward lightsare now adjustable 10 degrees in anydirection.

Access/Egress. The Cat Skid SteerLoader cab is designed to make machineoperation simple, productive andcomfortable. Getting in and out of thecab is easy through a wide opening withthree point grab irons and skid-resistantsteps. Tilt cylinders are neatly locatedunder the lift arms so not to interfere withoperator access and egress. Plenty ofuncluttered floor space makes steppinginto the cab even easier.

Cab Packages. Several cab packagesand options are available. The standardcab offers features such as an adjustablecontoured seat, cushioned contouredarmbar, dual throttle controls, pilotoperated joysticks, 12 volt DC powersocket and optional cup holder.

Cat Diesel Power. The heart of theCat Skid Steer Loader power train isthe Caterpillar 3044C DIT engine.This rugged, reliable four cylinderengine offers aggressive performanceand a fast torque curve for quickresponse. It is also a low emissionengine, fully U.S. EPA Tier 2 compliant.

Dual Engine Throttle Controls. The handand foot throttles allow the operator tomatch engine speed to the task. The handthrottle is ideal for jobs requiringconsistent engine speed — such as coldplaning, trenching or snow blowing.The foot throttle lets the operatorvary engine speed and minimize fuelconsumption for other tasks such asload and carry, truck loading, gradingand dozing.

Anti-Stall Feature. The anti-stall systemon the Cat Skid Steer Loader allowsmaximum power to the wheels whileminimizing engine stalling. The systemhelps maximize productivity forexperienced operators and makes iteasier for novice operators to becomeproductive.

Variable-Displacement Piston Pumps.The dual, variable-displacement, axialpiston pumps are driven directly offthe engine and provide hydraulicflow to the drive motors via a closedloop system. Drive motors transfermechanical power to the wheels viatwo high-strength, pre-stressed chainsper machine side. Chains run in an oilbath for constant lubrication and longlife. Chains are adjustable through slotsin the axle housings.

Drive Axles. The drive axles are forgedand induction hardened for maximumlife. They include a unique lip and outerseal to help prevent debris such as wireand twine from wrapping around theaxle and destroying the seal. An innerseal is used for permanent lubricationof axle bearings so no daily axle serviceis required.

Lift Arms. The loader lift arms arepurpose-designed to provide asubstantially straight load path into themachine and a good viewing area tothe work tool and side of the machine.The lift arms are also designed tohandle heavy loads without twistingand bending for exceptional reliability.

Spherical Bearing. The sphericalbearing distributes the load from thelift arms into the frame by allowingthe pin to rotate and pivot within thebore reducing the chance of developingfatigue cracks in the arms.

Power and Reliability. Maximum powerand reliability are built into the Cat SkidSteer Loader hydraulic system. In additionto providing power to drive the wheels,this system also provides the loader liftand tilt functions, powers the auxiliarycircuit to drive work tools and drivesthe engine cooling fan.

Hydraulic Pumps. The hydraulic pumpsare driven directly off the engine formaximum hydraulic performance andreliability — no belts are used. Pumpsare fixed-displacement and provideflow to the loader and auxiliary circuitsat 81 L/min (22 gal/min) at high idle.Maximum system pressure for theloader and standard auxiliary circuitsis 23 000 kPa (3335 psi) for the 252Band 262B. A load sensing, variabledisplacement piston pump providesflow and pressure for the 268B loaderand auxiliary circuit at 125 L/min(33 gal/min) at high idle. Maximumsystem pressure for High Flow auxiliarycircuit is 28 000 kPa (4060 psi). Controlof the loader lift and tilt functions is byhydraulically-operated joystick controlsfor low effort and precise operation.

Auxiliary Hydraulics. Standard auxiliaryhydraulics to power work tools areavailable through quick connect hydrauliccouplings that are rigidly mounted tothe loader arm. The Caterpillar line ofhigh pressure XT™ ES hoses and O-ringface seals help assure a leak-free system.

Reliability and Cleanliness. Hydraulicsystem reliability and cleanliness areimproved by using single componentsin place of multiple components, suchas the monoblock hydraulic valve andmonoblock pumps. Fewer leak pointsimprove reliability and result in acleaner machine. In addition, hydraulicoil flows through a 5-micron spin-onfilter. A filter restriction indicatoris located in the operator station.A 74-micron screen in the hydraulictank prevents larger debris fromentering the system and causingdamage to the hydraulic components.

Hydraulic Oil Cooler. A high-efficiency,hydraulic oil cooler lets the Cat SkidSteer Loader work longer and harderin higher ambient temperatures, evenwhen using continuous flow worktools. The high capacity, hydraulicoil reservoir also helps keep operatingtemperatures lower.

268B High Flow XPS. Maximumpressure can be maintained regardlessof the work tool speed or conditionswith this load sensing, pressurecompensating system. Hydraulic poweris maximized for any given load witha variable displacement, axial pistonpump that allows high pressure at anygiven speed for high hydraulic powerat low or high idle.
