Specalog for 994F Wheel Loader, AEHQ5640-01 - Teknoxgroup

SafetyCaterpillar mining machines and systems are designed with safety as their first priority.Product Safety. Caterpillar has been andcontinues to be proactive in developingmining machines that meet or exceedsafety standards. Safety is an integralpart of all machine and systems designs.SAE and ISO Standards. The 994F isdesigned to national and internationalstandards, and has been tested andself certified to comply with applicableSAE and ISO safety standards.Integral ROPS/FOPS Cab. Mounted tothe main frame to provide rollover andfalling object protection. ROPS structureis designed as an extension of theloader frame.Ladder/Secondary Egress. Two wide,stationary stairways with handrails onboth sides allow three-point contactaccess to and from the machine.Brake Systems. Four corner oil-cooledbraking system provides excellent controlin slippery conditions. The service brakesare actuated by modulated hydraulicpressure, while secondary and parkingbrake functions are spring applied andhydraulic released. This system assuresbraking in the event of completehydraulic failure.Steering System. A twin double-actingcylinder steering system is designed todeliver precise control under all loadingand underfoot conditions. The steeringhydraulic system is separate from themain hydraulic system to prevent crosscontaminationand overheating fromother sources.Supplemental Steering System.Provided using a ground driven pump isstandard on the 994F. Backup steeringsystem allows the operator to maintaincontrol of the loader in the event of afailure in the main steering system.Rear Vision Camera (optional). Locatedon top of the radiator in the center.Provides the operator 115° of fieldvision via a colored monitor located inthe cab. Enables operator to see directlybehind the loader.Trainer Seat. The trainer seat makestraining new operators in the correctoperation of the loader easier. In additionobserving operational issues is easier.Lock-out Panel. The panel is convenientlylocated on the left-hand side bumper infront of the ladder allowing the operator/serviceman to reach the switches fromground level. In addition to the shutoffand lockout switches described below,this panel contains a VIMS port, stairwaylights and hood lights switches.Engine Shutoff Switch. An engineshutoff switch is located in the rearground level lockout panel forimmediate shutdown.Transmission Lockout. A transmissionlockout switch is located in the rearground level lockout panel. Enables tolockout machine transmission to preventgear engagement while the operator isnot in the cab.Starter Lockout. A starter lockoutswitch, when enabled, prevents thestarter from being activated whileservice is being performed.Toe Kicks. Toe kicks have been addedto the rear platform. Prevents tools fromfalling off while servicing the machine.Electrical System Disconnect. A batterydisconnect switch, which is convenientlylocated near the left stairs, provideslockout of the electrical system forservice work.Service Center. Located at ground levelallowing easy access for filling anddraining machine fluid compartments.Payload Policy. Safety is integral tomaintaining the highest productivity inmining machine operation. Caterpillar’s10/10 Payload Policy assures thatsteering and braking systems havesufficient capacity to perform at a10% overload. VIMS, which is standardon the 994F, includes a payload indicatorsystem. VIMS notifies the operatorwhen the bucket is overloaded.Standard Safety Features.• Slip resistant surfaces• Retractable, 75 mm (3 in) wideseat belts• Wide-angle mirrors• Hand rails• Low interior sound level• Trainer seat17
