Hey, I’m Collin and this is today’s quick tip.

Today I’m going to share some of the features of the in-cab monitor in your CAT E-series mini hydraulic excavator.

This button is your main menu.

This will allow you to access any of the menu items you wish.

To exit this screen hit the return button.

This button controls auto idle, giving you the option to turn this feature on or off.

By pressing this button three times you will engage the backup camera.

Pressing it a fourth time will engage full screen.

This button will allow you to adjust flow between 1 and 15.

You can adjust the flow up or down by hitting the buttons next to the left and right arrows.

Then simply hit OK to lock in the change.

These are just a few of the great features built into your in-cab monitor.

As always consult your operation and maintenance manual for more information.

That was today’s quick tip.

Thanks for watching.

Key Features

The monitor has several key features that need some training to understand. You would never want to tell someone to operate this machine without giving them a thorough explanation of how to utilize the monitor.

These are the monitor’s key features:

• Main Menu: The main menu lets you navigate to the other controls and features accessible on the monitor. You can go to different controls and easily navigate back to the main menu when you need to.

• Auto Idle: You can engage or turn off auto idle easily from the monitor. Whether you need new instructions or are switching drivers, it’s more efficient to put the machine in idle instead of shutting it off completely.

• Backup Camera: The backup camera is an excellent safety feature that you can engage from the monitor. With more eyes around the machine, you can reverse more easily and safely with the monitor.

• Auto Flow: Access auto flow controls and change it up or down depending on the job at hand.

For more detailed information about these features, and more, that you can access from the in-cab monitor, be sure to consult the operation manual.

Know Your Machine Before Getting Started

Understanding a machine’s capabilities before using it is key to its safe and effective operation. When your team understands the machines they’re using, you’re less likely to have accidents on your site and more likely to stay on schedule.

Inexperienced team members need more time to complete a task than more experienced people and can make mistakes that cost time and money. Getting to know the machine completely before getting started also gives you a better idea of what it’s capable of. If you aren’t trained on a machine, you may be missing out on features that will make the work easier.

Ensuring every member of your team knows how to use all of the controls and features of your fleet means you’ll get the job done right and be less likely to have an accident on the site.
