Cat C6.6 Engine with ACERT Technology. The Cat C6.6 is a 6.6 liter (403 in 3 ) displacement, six cylinder, inline configured engine equipped with a Caterpillar Common Rail fuel System. It uses ACERT Technology, a series of Caterpillar engineered innovations that provide advanced electronic control, precision fuel delivery and refined air management, resulting in outstanding performance and lower emissions. Design. The C6.6 features a compact design with heavy-duty engine features for outstanding durability, reliability and performance. The C6.6 incorporates a new cross flow cylinder head design, a 4 valve head and an ADEM A4 electronic controller. Electronic Controls. The C6.6 engines use advanced electronic controllers, which have a proven track record for performance and reliability. ADEM A4 Electronic Control Module (ECM) receives data from engine-mounted sensors and adjusts critical parameters to maintain optimum performance. These adjustments also optimize fuel economy and emissions compliance. Electronics also make engines easier to troubleshoot and repair. Fuel Delivery. Fuel is introduced in the combustion chamber in a number of precisely controlled microbursts. Injecting fuel in this way allows for precise shaping of the combustion process. The ADEM A4 module directs the injectors to deliver precise quantities of fuel at exactly the right times during combustion for optimum efficiency and performance. Air Management. The C6.6 uses a turbocharger fitted with a smart wastegate to give precise control of the boost pressure. Over the entire engine operating ranges the result is improved: Throttle response, lower fuel consumption and optimized engine performance. A new cross-flow design in the cylinder head facilitates air movement, while tighter tolerances between the piston and cylinder liner are reducing blow by gases. Turbocharged and Aftercooled. A wellmatched turbocharger and air-to-air aftercooler results in higher power while keeping rpm steady and exhaust temperatures low. Drawbar Pull N x 1000 250 200 150 100 50 0 lb x 1000 55 50 45 40 35 D6K Drawbar Pull Drawbar Pull vs. Ground Speed 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 0 2 4 6 8 10 km/h Speed Torque Rise. The direct injection electronic fuel system provides a controlled fuel delivery increase as the engine lugs back from rated speed. This results in increased horsepower below rated power. A combination of increased torque rise and maximum horsepower improves response and provides greater drawbar pull. Cooling System. The cooling system is a single coolant unit including hydraulic oil cooler, radiator, ATAAC and fan installation. Aluminum cores and hydraulically driven demand fan provide optimum cooling and fuel efficiency. Electric Fuel Priming Pump. A standard electric fuel priming pump is located in the primary fuel filter base above the combined water separator/primary fuel filter. A switch enables to easily prime the fuel system after a fuel filter service. mph 8

SystemOne Undercarriage Exclusively for Caterpillar machines the SystemOne Undercarriage is a revolutionary new undercarriage system from the ground up. SystemOne Undercarriage. Exclusively for Caterpillar machines the design extends system life and reduces operating costs. Long-life Sprocket. Extended life sprockets will outlast two or more tracks. The rotating bushing technology extends life. Guiding System. The guiding system contacts link rails instead of pin ends and helps keep the track within the roller system. The result is improved track guiding. Rollers. The increased flange diameter on the rollers provide optimum guiding and longer life. Carrier Rollers. Redesigned carrier rollers are factory sealed and serviced as a unit. The larger diameter provides extended wear to better match undercarriage system life. Idlers. The center tread idlers contact only the bushing not the links eliminating scalloping and providing more guiding to the link assembly. The idlers last longer because they contact a rotating bushing instead of a link rail. Cartridge Joints. Factory-sealed cartridge joints are laser welded to control end play. They offer improved seal integrity through an innovative new sealing system and do not depend on the link interface to remain sealed. As with all Cat undercarriage products, they are filled with special oils. May be used in any application. The track roller frames are welded and have a box section design, which provides strength and resistance to bending without adding extra weight. The track adjuster and mechanical recoil spring and grease filled adjustment cylinder which allows the idler to move forward and back to maintain proper track tension as it absorbs undercarriage shock. Undercarriage Arrangements. Narrow shipping width arrangement Narrow track shoes and frame provides shipping width under 3 m (9.8 ft) without disassembly. LGP (Low Ground Pressure) arrangement Specially designed to work in soft underfoot conditions. Wide track shoes, a longer track frame and a wider gauge increase track contact area and reduce ground pressure for excellent flotation. Complete Guarding. Caterpillar undercarriages are designed with full length guarding on top of the track roller frame. This prevents abrasive materials from being recirculated in the track. Roller Frames. Roller frames attach to the tractor by a pivot shaft and pinned equalizer bar. 10

Serviceability and Accessibility Grouped service points and easy maintenance result in increased machine up-time. Easy Diagnostics. The Compact Instrument Cluster allows for quick identification of problems and its cause, utilizing a three level warning system. This monitoring system can easily be upgraded by flashing software. Engine Compartment. All the regular engine maintenance is made through a large, hinged door located on the left side of the machine. This compartment gives access to the engine fuel filters and water separator, the engine oil filter, the engine oil dipstick and filler, the electric fuel priming pump, and the engine air pre-cleaner and filters. Cooling Package. Cores and fan are accessible from ground level, for easy cleaning and maintenance. Opening the radiator front grid will allow full access to the engine fan. The fan is mounted on a swing-out door that will provide access to the cores. The other side of the cores is accessible through the engine compartment. Product Link. This system streamlines diagnostic efforts, downtime and maintenance scheduling and costs by providing communication flow of vital machine data and location information between the dealer and the customer. Product Link provides updates on-service meter hours, machine condition and machine location. Grouped Pressure Taps. Pressure taps allow for quick measure and troubleshooting of the hydraulic system. These pressure taps are all located in the left service access door, and are accessible from ground level. Ecology Drains. Ecology drains provide an environmentally safer method to drain fluids. They are included on the radiator (coolant) and the hydraulic tank, and for the engine oil change. Cat Machine Security System (MSS). MSS uses electronically coded keys selected by the customer to limit usage by individuals or time parameters. MSS deters theft, vandalism and unauthorized usage. Each machine system can store up to 255 keys and each key can be used on as many machines as desired. MSS can be controlled by a Personal Data Assistant. Field installation is available. 11
