D11R CD CARRYDOZER
IMPLEMENT SYSTEMS

1998 Caterpillar Inc.

INTRODUCTION
This presentation discusses the major design features of the implement
systems for the D11R CD Carrydozer (Serial Number 9XR 1-Up). The
D11R CD is an elevated sprocket design tractor equipped with the Power
Train Electronic Control System, Finger Tip Control steering, Electronic
Implement Control, and Vital Information Display System (VIDS).
3508B engine

This tractor is powered by the 3508B turbocharged and aftercooled engine

rated at 634 kW (850 hp) with a 25 percent net torque rise for excellent
lugging performance. The power from the engine is transferred through a
torque divider that results in maximum torque multiplication during heavy
loading.

The implement hydraulic system for the D11R CD is a continuous flow

design that permits minimum pressure in the system when the implement
control valves are not activated. The pump for operation of the bulldozer
and ripper is a two section gear-type pump (large and small sections). The
oil cooling for the hydraulic circuits is provided by the fan circuit.
The system components include: the implement pump, electro-hydraulic
pilot valve group, logic valve, demand control fan pumps, dozer control
valve, dual tilt control valve, quick dump valve, and a ripper control valve.
The system components control the flow of hydraulic oil to the
appropriate implement cylinders.

Hydraulic tank
components:
- Oil fill tube
- Manual air vent
- Hydraulic oil filters
- Sight gauge
- Tank drain
- Fan return filter (not
shown)

The hydraulic tank is located on the right fender just outside the operator's
compartment. The oil fill tube and cap are located on the top of the tank.
Inside the fill tube is a fine mesh screen which removes large particles of
dirt or foreign material from the oil as the tank is filled. A manual air
vent and the breaker relief valve (not visible) are located near the filters.
The vacuum breaker relief valve has a pressure setting of 3.5 kPa (.5 psi)
and a pressure relief setting of 210 kPa (30 psi). Two hydraulic oil filters
are located inside the tank. Also mounted at the front of the tank is a fan
return filter, and below the right fender is a pilot supply filter. The oil
level sight gauge on the front of the tank permits an easy check of the
hydraulic system oil level. Always clean the sight gauge to be sure the oil
level is visible. Dirt and stains on the glass frequently give the
appearance of a full tank. A scheduled oil sampling (SOS) tap and tank
drain are located on the front of the tank.
NOTE: The capacity of the D11R CD hydraulic system is
approximately 314 Liters (83 gal.). The hydraulic tank shown in this
view is from the D11R 9TR Track-type Tractor.

1. Dozer control lever

The implement control levers for the D11R CD are not mechanically
connected to the dozer control valve. The dozer control lever and the
ripper control lever are input devices to an Electronic Control Module
(ECM) located below the implement control levers.

2. Blade DUMP or
RACK BACK lever

Moving the dozer control lever (1) forward or rearward LOWERS or

RAISES the blade. Moving the lever left or right allows the blade to
TILT LEFT or TILT RIGHT. The thumb lever (2) allows the operator to
DUMP or TILT (RACK) BACK the blade.

3. Blade Auto Mode

select button

The left button (3) on the dozer control lever allows the operator to
activate the Automatic Modes. After the blade is loaded or the dig cycle
is complete, the first push of the left button allows the blade to TILT
(RACK) BACK to an operator pre-set carry position through the Vital
Information Display System (VIDS) keypad. The second push of the left
button begins the SPREADING portion of the cycle. The blade will raise
and pitch forward (or DUMP) automatically until the full stroke of the tilt
cylinders and the lift cylinders is reached.

4. Blade Manual Mode

select button

The Dump Mode will be cancelled if the operator attempts to TILT

(RACK) BACK the blade or presses the right mode select button (4). The
right button (4) cancels the Automatic Mode, and the blade may be
controlled manually.
Located on the front of the dozer control lever is a trigger switch (not
shown). When this switch is engaged, the blade will pitch forward to
DUMP the blade load.

control SHANK IN and SHANK OUT. Pushing the button (7) on the
ripper control raises the ripper to maximum height or will move the ripper
tip to the full SHANK IN position if configured through Caterpillar
Electronic Technician (ET).
Located to the rear of the ripper controls is a deactivating switch (8) that
turns the power ON or OFF to the implement controls.

Dozer control valve

The dozer control valve is located below the operator's station on the right
side of the machine. Inside the control valve are two spools. One spool
controls blade lift and lower, and one spool controls blade tilt. The blade
lift spool and the blade tilt spool are operated by pilot oil.

Pilot operated dozer

lift spool

The pilot operated dozer lift spool has four positions: RAISE, HOLD,
LOWER, and FLOAT. The pilot operated blade tilt spool has three
positions: TILT RIGHT, HOLD, and TILT LEFT.

Pilot operated blade

tilt spool

The tilt circuit receives oil from the small (tilt) section of the pump.
When the circuit is not in use, the oil joins the large pump section oil flow
to the lift circuit. If neither circuit is in use, the dump valve opens and
sends oil flow to the tank. Both the tilt and lift circuits have load check
valves and relief valves. The lift circuit has makeup valves for both the
rod and head ends of the lift cylinders.

Dozer control valve

similar to 9TR

NOTE: The dozer control valve in the D11R CD is very similar to the
dozer control valve in the D11R 9TR Tractor. The only major
difference is the pilot operated lift spool.

Tilt spool in HOLD

The tilt spool has three positions: TILT RIGHT, HOLD, and TILT LEFT.
The tilt spool is hydraulically operated by pilot pressure from a pilot valve
group which is controlled by the ECM. In the HOLD position, the oil
from the small pump goes around the tilt spool and joins the oil from the
large pump. The oil then opens the dump valve and returns to the tank.

Pilot oil moves tilt
spool to right

Movement of the dozer control lever to the right sends an electrical signal
to the ECM. The ECM then sends an output signal to a proportional
solenoid on the electro-hydraulic pilot valve manifold. As the solenoid
opens, pilot oil flows to the left end of the tilt spool. The pilot oil pressure
moves the spool to the TILT RIGHT position.

Pressure opens load

check valve

In the TILT RIGHT position, the oil from the small (tilt) section of the
pump cannot combine with the oil from the large section, and the pressure
of the oil increases. The increased pressure opens the load check valve.
Before the start of flow to the left cylinder, oil passes through a small hole
in the tilt relief valve and fills the large spring chamber between the relief
spool and the poppet. This condition raises the pressure setting of the tilt
relief valve. As the tilt spool moves farther, the pump flow is sent to the
left tilt cylinder, and the supply pressure increases due to the load.

Oil goes to tilt cylinder

to retract rod

STMG 700
8/98

- 13 -

The CD machine is only equipped with dual tilt. In the TILT RIGHT
position pump oil is sent to the head end of the left tilt cylinder, which
pushes oil to the rod end of the right tilt cylinder. Lever movement to the
left sends pilot pressure oil to the right end of the spool. The spool moves
to the left, sending small pump oil to the right tilt cylinder, and the blade
tilts left. When the blade control lever is released from either the TILT
RIGHT or TILT LEFT position, springs return the tilt spool to the HOLD
position.
When the dozer control lever is released, the pilot oil at the left end of the
tilt spool is drained. The spring at the right end of the tilt spool moves the
spool to the HOLD position. In the HOLD position, the oil in the head
and rod ends of the tilt cylinders is blocked. The tilt angle of the blade
will not change until the dozer control lever is moved.
To summarize, with the tilt spool in the TILT RIGHT position, flow from
the small section of the pump does not combine with flow from the large
section. Pilot oil at the left end of the tilt spool moves the spool to the
right. Flow from the small section of the pump goes around the tilt spool
and is sent to the head end of the left tilt cylinder.
Tilt circuit relief valve

Because the small (tilt) section flow cannot combine with the oil in the
center chamber, the dump valve for the dozer lift circuit does not control
the tilt circuit pressure. Instead, the tilt relief valve (at the top of the valve
body) is used to limit the pressure in the tilt circuit. When the tilt cylinder
pressure increases to 24825 kPa (3600 psi), the pilot valve for tilt relief
will open and drain the spring chamber behind the valve spool. This
condition permits the valve spool to open and limit the pressure in the tilt
circuit.

The dual tilt solenoid valve provides the blade tilt circuit with two
different modes of operation: DUAL TILT (LEFT or RIGHT) and DUMP
or TILT (RACK) BACK. The control valve is located between the
radiator grill doors and the radiator on the left side of the machine. The
valve is activated by pilot oil pressure supplied by the fan circuit. The
dual tilt valve contains a spring centered, hydraulically actuated spool
valve and an electrically actuated solenoid control valve.
The solenoid valve contains two coils and has two different positions.
Only one coil (S1) is used in this application. When the solenoid is not
activated, the system operates in the DUAL TILT Mode. When the thumb
switch on the dozer control lever is moved left, the S1 coil in the solenoid
valve is energized and the system operates in the TILT (RACK) BACK
Mode. When the trigger switch on the dozer control lever is depressed, or
the thumb switch is moved to the right, the system also energizes the S1
coil in the solenoid and activates the DUMP Mode.

Both the left and right tilt cylinders pistons contain bypass valves. These
valves allow the completion of the tilt operation. When one of the
cylinders reaches the end of its travel, the oil goes through the bypass
valve to continue filling the other cylinder.

Dual tilt operation

DUAL TILT is standard on the D11R CD. In the DUAL TILT Mode, oil
flow is blocked at the solenoid valve and the dual tilt directional spool
remains centered by the spring force. Movement of the tilt cylinders in
opposite directions causes the blade to tilt.

TILT RIGHT

When the operator moves the dozer control lever to the TILT RIGHT
position, supply oil from the dozer control valve tilt circuit is sent to the
head end of the left tilt cylinder. This condition causes oil from the rod
end of the left tilt cylinder to be forced back to the dual tilt control valve.
The oil travels around the spool and is directed to the rod end of the right
tilt cylinder. As the right tilt cylinder retracts, the oil in the head end of
the cylinder is directed back through the dual tilt control valve and the
dozer tilt control valve to the tank.

Cylinders move in
opposite directions

This action of the tilt cylinders causes the blade to tilt to the right. When
the control lever is released, the oil is blocked at the control valve, and the
blade remains tilted to the right until the control lever is moved again.

The bypass valve in the left tilt cylinder piston allows oil to continue
flowing to the right cylinder after the rod is fully extended from the left
cylinder. The bypass valve allows oil to continue to flow to the right tilt
cylinder rod end and provides full retraction for maximum blade tilt.

BLADE DUMP

To pitch (or dump) the blade forward, the trigger switch on the dozer
control lever is depressed and the S1 coil in the solenoid valve is
energized. The valve directs pilot oil from the solenoid valve to the lower
end of the directional spool and opens the upper end of the spool to drain.
The valve spool then shifts up against the spring force to the BLADE
DUMP mode.
For BLADE DUMP, flow from the dozer tilt circuit is sent to the head end
of the left tilt cylinder. As the cylinder extends, oil from the rod end is
pushed back to the dual tilt valve and is directed to the head end of the
right tilt cylinder. The oil in the rod end of the right tilt cylinder is pushed
back through the dual tilt valve to the hydraulic tank. As both tilt
cylinders extend, the blade dumps forward.

Quick-dump valve

When the trigger switch is depressed for blade DUMP, the quick-dump
valve located below the dual tilt valve is also activated. The quick-dump
valve offers regenerative flow to prevent cylinder voiding.

Thumb lever left

allows RACK BACK

When the trigger switch is released, the oil is blocked at the control valve
and the blade remains pitched forward until the thumb lever is moved to
the left or TILT (RACK) BACK Mode.

Bulldozer Lift Circuit
Lift spool in HOLD

The lift spool has four positions: RAISE, HOLD, LOWER, and FLOAT.
The lift spool is hydraulically operated by pilot oil from the electrohydraulic pilot valve manifold. Movement of the dozer control lever to
the rear sends an electrical signal to the ECM. The ECM sends an output
signal to a solenoid on the electro-hydraulic pilot valve manifold. The
solenoid valve opens and sends pilot oil to the left end of the lift spool.
The spool shifts to the right and directs oil from the large pump to the rod
end of the lift cylinders, causing the blade to RAISE. Forward movement
of the dozer control lever sends pressure oil to the head end of the lift
cylinders, causing the blade to LOWER.

FLOAT operation

To operate the dozer in FLOAT, the operator must "arm" the dozer control
lever by pressing the float button on the Vital Information Display System
(VIDS) keypad. When the button is pressed, a light located below the
keypad illuminates, indicating the FLOAT Mode is armed. The lever
must be moved to the maximum forward position and then released. The
lever will return to the neutral position, but the blade will be operating in
the FLOAT Mode. If no active faults are present, the message center will
display "FLOAT" when the FLOAT Mode is active. Moving the control
lever, pressing the float Hot Key on the keypad, or pressing the Manual
Mode selector button on the control lever will deactivate the FLOAT
Mode.

HOLD position

When the valve spools in both the dozer control valve and the ripper
control valve are in the HOLD position, the pressure of the supply oil
(from both the small and large sections of the pump) through the dozer
control valve is maintained at approximately 700 kPa (100 psi).
The dozer lift spool is a "closed-center" spool, and the blade tilt spool is
an "open-center" spool. In this view, both spools are in the HOLD (or
center) position. Oil from the large pump section enters the valve and fills
the chamber in the center of the valve body. Flow from the small section
of the pump enters the valve body, flows around the open-center tilt spool,
and joins with the oil from the large section in the center chamber. All the
oil around the closed-center lift spool is blocked. Because both spools are
in the HOLD position, no oil flows to or from the lift and tilt cylinders,
and the load check valves do not open.
.

STMG 700
8/98

- 22 -

Dump valve

The spring for the dump valve plus the pressure of the oil in the tank have
a combined force that provides a restriction to flow. When the pressure in
the center chamber increases above the spring force plus the tank oil
pressure, the dump valve will open and permit the combined flow from
the two sections of the pump to return to the tank. With both spools in the
HOLD position, the dump valve provides a constant low system pressure
which is available for instant implement response or for "feathering"
action of the controls when activated by the operator.

Shuttle valve

The shuttle valve resolves which hydraulic function (dozer raise and
lower or ripper) will provide pressure feedback to the spring chamber of
the dump valve. The shuttle valve is spring biased to the dozer lift and
lower function. The stem shifts to the right when oil pressure is directed
to the ripper valve port of the dozer control valve when the ripper function
is requested by the operator or during an engine overspeed condition.
When the lift spool is in the HOLD or center position, the spring chamber
of the dump valve is connected to the tank. Tank pressure is transmitted
through passages in the lift and lower spool that travel through the ball
resolver valve and the shuttle valve before filling the spring chamber of
the dump valve. During blade lift and lower functions, the cylinder load
pressure signal is transmitted to the ball resolver valve, through the shuttle
valve, to the spring chamber of the dump valve. This path is the same as
when the spool is in the HOLD position. The cylinder load pressure
signal is from the lift cylinder rod end during lift and from the cylinder
head end during lower or float. The ball resolver valve directs the higher
of either the cylinder rod or head end pressure to the shuttle valve.
When the shuttle valve spool is moved completely to the left, pressure oil
from the center chamber cannot fill the spring chamber of the dump valve.
For this reason, only the dump valve springs plus the tank oil pressure are
regulating the pressure in the center chamber. This pressure will remain
low as long as the lift and tilt spools are in the HOLD position, and the
ripper circuits are not activated.

Dozer RAISE

This view of the dozer control valve shows spool movement and oil flow
when the control lever is moved to the RAISE position. Movement of the
dozer lift spool to the RAISE position opens the chamber at the left center
of the spool, which is connected to the rod end of the lift cylinders. Since
the oil around the lift spool is no longer blocked, pressure oil from the
center chamber of the valve body can open the load check valve and flow
around the lift spool to the rod end of the lift cylinders.
At the same time that pressure oil is sent to the lift cylinders, oil also
flows to the ball resolver valve. The ball resolver valve operates similarly
to a check valve. With the lift spool in the RAISE position, the ball
resolver valve permits pressure oil to flow to the shuttle valve, but blocks
flow to the head end and tank at the right end of the ball resolver valve.

STMG 700

Dump valve converted

to pilot operated relief
valve

During blade RAISE, the lift cylinder rod end pressure is transmitted to
the spring chamber of the dump valve through the ball resolver and the
shuttle valve. The dump valve uses the rod end cylinder pressure
combined with the spring to move the dump valve to the right until the
supply pressure is 700 kPa (100 psi) above the cylinder pressure. If the
pressure in the dump valve spring chamber reaches 24135 kPa (3500 psi)
due to cylinder load or an end stroke condition, the relief valve will open
and allow the spring chamber oil to drain to the tank. When oil is allowed
to drain from the dump valve spring chamber, the dump valve moves to
the left and allows pump flow to pass around the dump valve to the tank.
This operation prevents the system pressure from exceeding 24135 kPa
(3500 psi) during blade RAISE or LOWER.

Blade "feathering"

An additional condition can exist during dozer operation which is referred

to as "feathering the blade." If the operator moves the control lever a
small distance to gradually raise the blade, flow to the cylinders goes
through the throttling slots in the lift spool. Flow through the throttling
slots can create the same effect as an orifice by restricting the flow of oil
to the lift cylinder. This restriction to flow causes a pressure difference
between the oil in the center chamber of the valve body (system pressure)
and the oil transmitted to the spring chamber of the dump valve (cylinder
pressure). If the pressure difference is greater than the spring force, the
dump valve will open and permit some of the pump flow to return to the
tank at the same time that oil flows to the lift cylinders.

Load check valve

prevents drift

The load check valve is used to prevent reverse oil flow from the cylinders
which can cause "cylinder drift."

FLOAT position

When the lift spool is in the FLOAT position, the load check valve is
open. The supply oil in the center chamber goes through the open load
check valve to the head end of the lift cylinders. The center chamber is
also open to the tank. The weight of the blade is the force that moves the
dozer down. The oil from the rod end of the lift cylinders is also open to
the tank when the lift spool is in the FLOAT position. When an outside
force moves the blade up, the pressure of the oil in the rod end of the lift
cylinders decreases as the rods retract. The pressure of the oil in the rod
end circuit is less than the pressure in the head end circuit. The higher
pressure in the head end circuit opens a makeup valve to fill the rod end
circuit as needed.

Dump valve has four
functions:
1. Release pump flow
with levers in HOLD
2. Pressure
compensation valve
for pump

The dump valve in the dozer control valve has four different functions in
the dozer lift and ripper circuits.
When the blade lift and ripper control spools are in the HOLD position,
the pressure in the spring chamber of the dump valve is the same as tank
pressure plus 700 kPa (100 psi), which is the value of the spring. During
blade RAISE or LOWER, the pressure in the spring chamber of the dump
valve is the same as the pressure in either the head end or rod end of the
lift cylinders. This pressure is felt through the ball resolver valve and the
shuttle valve. With the cylinder pressure plus the spring force behind the
dump valve, the supply pressure will be raised to a level of 700 kPa
(100 psi) above the cylinder pressure. Flow control and fine modulation
are possible because of the constant 700 kPa (100 psi) pressure behind the
dump valve.

STMG 700

- 26 -

3. Flow control

When the ripper control spools are activated, pilot oil (from the ripper
solenoid valve controlled by the implement ECM) is sent to the left end of
the shuttle valve and moves the shuttle valve to the right. When the
shuttle valve is moved, supply oil fills the spring chamber behind the
dump valve. The relief valve and the dump valve now function as the
pressure limiter for the ripper circuit. Because oil from the small pump
section goes to both a passage in the dozer control valve and to the ripper
control valve, the pressure of the oil is always the same in both places.

4. Relief valve for

main system
operation

When the lift spool is in the RAISE or LOWER position, cylinder

pressure is transmitted to the spring chamber of the dump valve through
the ball resolver valve and the shuttle valve. A pressure relief valve is
located within the dump valve spring chamber. This valve will lift off its
seat and allow the spring chamber oil to drain when the pressure in the
spring chamber reaches 24135 kPa (3500 psi). When the relief valve
opens, an imbalance exists between the pressure in the center chamber
and a combination of the dump valve spring and the pressure in the spring
chamber. A balance is achieved when the dump valve shifts to the left
allowing oil in the center chamber to drain until the pressure in the center
chamber is equal to the dump valve spring plus the spring chamber
pressure. This method of controlling maximum system pressure is called

Demand control fan

system equipped with
tandem axial pumps

The demand control fan system on the D11R CD is considered part of the
implement hydraulic system because the fan pumps pull oil from the
implement hydraulic tank and send some of the oil to the electro-hydraulic
pilot valve manifold group. Pilot oil hydraulically shifts the blade lift and
tilt spools in the dozer control valve and also shifts the spools in the ripper
control valve to control ripper lift and ripper tip.

Fan pumps

The tractor is equipped with two hydraulic pumps for the demand control
fan system. The tandem axial pumps are located below the floor plate on
the right rear of the engine and are driven off the flywheel. The front
pump is a variable displacement pump and the rear pump is a fixed
displacement pump. The system adjusts the fan speed to match the
cooling system demands based on an input signal to the engine Electronic
Control Module (ECM) from the engine coolant temperature sensor.

Ripper and Pilot Circuits

Ripper control valve

The ripper control valve has two spools (lift and tip), two makeup valves
(one for the head end of the ripper lift cylinders and one for the head end
of the ripper tip cylinders), and a load check valve. The ripper lift spool is
operated with pilot oil pressure and has three positions: RAISE, HOLD,
and LOWER. The ripper tip spool is operated by pilot oil pressure and
also has three positions: SHANK IN, HOLD, and SHANK OUT. The
valve spools have no detent positions.
Movement of the thumb lever on the ripper control lever causes the ripper
to RAISE or LOWER. Moving the finger lever on the ripper control lever
controls SHANK IN or SHANK OUT. The button on the ripper control
lever activates the automatic raise and park feature.

RIPPER RAISE

When the operator requests the RIPPER RAISE function, an electrical

signal from the ripper thumb switch is sent to the ECM. The ECM sends
an output signal to the ripper raise solenoid on the pilot manifold. The
solenoid valve opens, sending pilot oil to the upper end of the ripper lift
spool.
At the same time, the ECM sends a signal to the ON/OFF solenoid valve.
The ON/OFF solenoid energizes, allowing pilot oil to flow to the shuttle
valve in the dozer control valve. The shuttle valve shifts to the right and
allows oil from the center chamber to flow to the spring chamber of the
dump valve, which now functions as the relief valve for the ripper circuit.
When the shuttle valve is shifted, the oil from the implement pump is
directed to the load check valve in the ripper control valve. The increased
pressure opens the load check valve and allows oil to flow to the rod end
of the ripper lift cylinders to RAISE the ripper.
NOTE: When calibrating the ripper solenoids, it is necessary to use
Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) Version 2.3 or newer.

RIPPER LOWER

When the operator requests a RIPPER LOWER function, an electrical

signal from the ripper thumb switch is sent to the ECM. The ECM sends
an output signal to the ripper lower solenoid on the pilot manifold. The
solenoid valve opens, sending pilot oil to the lower end of the ripper lift
spool.
At the same time, the ECM sends a signal to the ON/OFF solenoid valve.
The ON/OFF solenoid energizes, allowing pilot oil to flow to the shuttle
valve in the dozer control valve. The shuttle valve shifts to the right and
allows oil to flow to the spring chamber of the dump valve, which now
functions as the relief valve for the ripper circuit. When the shuttle valve
is shifted, the oil from the implement pump is directed to the load check
valve in the ripper control valve. The increased pressure opens the load
check valve and allows oil to flow to the head end of the ripper lift
cylinders to LOWER the ripper. If the ripper drops faster than the pump
can makeup due to the ripper weight, the makeup valve opens and allows
drain oil to go to the head end of the cylinders to prevent cylinder voiding.

ELECTRO-HYDRAULIC PILOT SYSTEM
Blade functions

The implement system for the D11R CD is operated by pilot oil. This oil
comes from the fan pump to a manifold that is located below the floor
plate on top of the main case. This manifold includes an ON/OFF
solenoid that allows the implement control levers to function or blocks the
flow to the electro-hydraulic "main gallery." The manifold also contains
four proportional solenoids that control the amount of pilot oil that is
directed to the dozer control valve. This pilot oil is sent to the ends of the
tilt or lift spool and control BLADE LIFT, BLADE LOWER/FLOAT,
BLADE TILT LEFT, and BLADE TILT RIGHT. The ECM receives a
signal from the dozer control lever when the operator requests a blade
function. The ECM sends an output signal to the appropriate solenoid.
The solenoid opens proportionally to the signal received from the ECM.
The higher the signal, the more the solenoid opens to allow more flow to
the spool. When the automatic feature is activated by the operator, the
ECM also sends output signals to all the appropriate solenoids
simultaneously, allowing the automatic blade functions.

STMG 700
8/98
Ripper functions

- 33 -

If the tractor is equipped with a ripper, the pilot manifold will consist of
two additional bolt-on blocks. These blocks contain four more
proportional solenoids that direct pilot oil to the ripper control valve to
select RIPPER RAISE, RIPPER LOWER, SHANK IN, and SHANK
OUT. When the operator requests a ripper function, the corresponding
ripper switch sends a signal to the ECM. The ECM sends an output
signal to the appropriate solenoid on the pilot manifold which directs pilot
oil to the appropriate spool end.
The ripper control also contains an automatic park button. When this
button is pushed by the operator, the ECM sends a signal that RAISES the
ripper to the maximum height and moves the shank to the full SHANK IN
position if configured through Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET).
NOTE: The charts in Serviceman's Handouts No. 1, 2, and 3 show
which solenoids are activated by the ECM when the operator requests
an implement movement.

The D11R CD electronic system has several features that can be

customized to better match an operating condition or an operator's style.
These features all have "default" settings that work over a broad range of
applications. The default settings are called "Factory Settings."
Temporary changes to the operator settings are called "Shift Settings." If
desired, the "Shift Settings" may be permanently stored as an Operator
ID.
The options are:
-SELECT OPERATOR ID1:FACTORY
2:OPERATOR_ID_2
3:OPERATOR_ID_3
4:OPERATOR_ID_4
5:OPERATOR_ID_5
6:OPERATOR_ID_6
7:OPERATOR_ID_7
8:OPERATOR_ID_8
9:OPERATOR_ID_9
After the selection of OPER ID, the VIDS Message Center text display
will respond with a confirmation. The confirmation will remain on the
display only long enough to be read, then the display will return to the
Operator Setup Menu. For example, after a selection of 2:OPER_ID_2,
the display will read:
OPERATOR ID SET TO
OPER_ID_2
The first OPER ID selection is FACTORY, which has predefined settings
that have been determined best for most methods of operation. If no
selection is made from this menu, the FACTORY settings will be the
default. Setting changes made during operation cannot be stored if the
FACTORY ID settings have been selected.

Two steps are required to activate the BLADE FLOAT function. The first
step is referred to as "arming" FLOAT, and the second step is referred to
as "activating" FLOAT.
The FLOAT Hot Key (arrow) is used by the operator to "arm" or "disarm"
the BLADE FLOAT feature. When BLADE FLOAT is used, the only
downward force on the blade is the weight of the blade.
If BLADE FLOAT is "disarmed" and the FLOAT Hot Key is pressed, the
Blade Float LED (located below the keypad) will turn on and the text
display will read:
BLADE FLOAT CONTROL
IS NOW ON

After "arming" BLADE FLOAT, the operator must then use the dozer
control lever to activate the feature. To activate BLADE FLOAT, the
dozer control lever is moved to the FULL LOWER position and either
held in that position or allowed to return to the center position. Raising
the blade with the dozer control lever will deactivate the FLOAT Mode.
While the feature is "armed," it may be repeatedly activated or
deactivated.
To "disarm" the BLADE FLOAT feature, press the FLOAT Hot Key
again. The FLOAT LED will turn OFF and the text display will read:
BLADE FLOAT CONTROL
IS NOW OFF
