Engine
Cat 3196 ATAAC engine is built for power, reliability, economy and low emissions.
Diesel Engine. The innovative Cat 3196
ATAAC diesel engine delivers largeengine performance from a compact
engine design. The six-cylinder 301 kW
(404 hp) engine is turbocharged and
air-to-air aftercooled. With high
horsepower and low displacement,
this engine provides excellent fuel
economy and durability that can
significantly reduce operating costs.

Injection Fuel System. Caterpillar stateof- the-art electronically controlled,

computer-actuated unit injector fuel
system, EUI, high injection pressure
for complete fuel combustion, more
efficient fuel use and reduced emissions.
The 175 695 kPa injection pressure
system provides dependable coldstarting performance. The dual-filter
system reduces component wear.

Advanced Diesel Engine Module.

The Advanced Diesel Engine Module
(ADEM II) fuel system controls
the engine for optimal fuel injection,
increased fuel efficiency and longer
component life. The engine is fully
compliant with Stage 2 emission
regulations.

Pistons. Two-piece articulated pistons

with forged steel tops withstand higher
cylinder pressures.
Cooling Jets. Dual cooling jets keep
ring temperatures low for long ring and
liner life with excellent oil control.

Hydrostatically Driven Fan. A separate

cooling system with a hydrostatically
driven fan provides quiet engine
operation and reduced fuel consumption
during cooler ambient conditions.
Valves. Four valves per cylinder for
superior heat rejection. Valve area
equals that of an engine with a 40%
larger displacement. Valves and unit
injection system are camshaft-actuated
for precision timing.
Blocks and Heads. The blocks and
heads are Caterpillar designed, cast and
machined to meet Caterpillar quality
standards.

Cooling System. High capacity cooling

system allows operation in ambient
temperatures up to 47C.

Environmentally Responsible Design

Caterpillar machines not only help you build a better world, they help maintain
and preserve the fragile environment.
Outstanding performance. The 365B L
Series II has many features designed to
provide outstanding performance which
can mean more work done in a day, less
fuel consumption and minimal impact
on our environment.
Low exhaust emissions. The Cat 3196
ATAAC engine used in the 365B L
Series II is a low emission engine
designed to meet the worlds toughest
emission regulations. Refinements to
critical engine components such as the
turbocharger, cylinder heads and pistons
as well as the electronically controlled
fuel system offers optimal fuel injection
control to burn fuel efficiently and
cleanly.

Quiet operation. The hydraulically

driven cooling fan is thermostatically
controlled, so the fan only runs at the
speed necessary to maintain correct
system operating temperatures. The
result is cool quiet operation with less
disturbance to the surrounding
environment.
Ozone protection. To help preserve
the earths ozone layer, the 365B L
Series IIs air conditioning unit uses
only R-134a refrigerant which does not
contain harmful chlorofluorocarbons
(CFCs).

Fewer leaks and spills. Engine oil and

encapsulated hydraulic oil filters are
positioned vertically and are easy to
reach to minimize spillage. Service
intervals are extended to reduce the
times fluids are changed and handled.
The new hydraulic oil fine filtration
system attachment extends the service
interval from 2000 to 5000 h.
Additionally, the 365B L Series II is
compatible with Cat HEE hydraulic
bio-oil for ecologically sensitive
applications. Finally, the new Cat
Extended Life Coolant extends service
(up to 6000 h) so there is less need for
fluid disposal.

an overhead position. A sliding window
on the cab door allows convenient
communication between the operator
and nearby workers. Upper and lower
windshield wipers and washers are
included as standard equipment to help
assure good visibility for the operator in
wet or dusty conditions. The standard
sunshade can be used to reduce the
sunlight entering either the skylight or
the upper windshield. The cab has extra
height and length for increased operator
space and is designed to allow direct
mounting of the optional falling objects
guard recommended for applications
involving overhead operation. It is
mounted to the frame with rubber
mounts for reduced sound and vibration
transmission.

1 Electronic control system. Caterpillar designed

electronic control system uses VIDS (Vital
Information Display System) as the interface
between the machine and the operator or the
serviceman. VIDS includes an analog gauge section,
a display screen and a keypad (refer to Electronic
Control System on page 5).
2 Climate control. Automatic climate control is
standard and maintains constant temperature in the
cab regardless of outside conditions.
3 Joystick. Electronic joystick controls have low lever
effort and eliminate pilot lines. Control pattern can
be changed electronically to suit operator preference.
The operator can choose a level of gain/response
from quicker and more productive to slower and
more precise using a button on the console to
optimize operation for different applications.
4 Engine speed dial. It has ten settings for simple,
precise speed setting. The selected engine speed
setting shows on the VIDS display screen.
5 Travel controls. Electronic hand or foot actuated
travel controls allow the operator to move the
excavator while operating the equipment. Hand
levers are easily removable.
6 Optional straight travel pedal. Straight travel pedal
provides forward or reverse straight line travel with
a single pedal movement. Steering adjustments can
be made by using the right or left travel pedals in
combination with the straight travel pedal.
7 Activation control lever. Hydraulic activation control
lever deactivates hydraulic functions and helps
prevent operation when the operator exits the cab.
8 Seat. The fully adjustable Cat suspension seat
includes a wide range of comfort features including
fore/aft, height and weight adjustments. Also
included are lumbar support, wide adjustable
armrests, and a retractable seat belt.
Skylight. The large, fixed-type, Polycarbonate skylight

Load Sensing System. Load sensing

Proportional Priority Pressure
Compensation (PPPC) system, now
with Caterpillar-developed electronic
actuation, combines a proven system
with state-of-the-art electronic control
for high efficiency and excellent
controllability.
Cylinder speed is directly related
to operators movement of joystick
from feathering to full speed.
Flow to cylinders during
multifunctional operation is directly
controlled by the operator and is not
dependent on loads.
Controller reduces pump output to
minimum to save power when
joysticks are in neutral position.

10

Main Pumps. Large, heavy-duty main

pumps with separate swing pump
provide high speeds and full time
swing priority.
Heavy Lift Feature. The heavy lift
feature is standard and allows lifting

snubbers at rod end of boom cylinder
and both ends of stick cylinder cushion
shocks, reduce sound and increase
cylinder life.

Cat XT-5 and XT-6 Hoses.

Cats XT-5 and XT-6 hoses are used
in high pressure circuits to meet
the critical flexibility and strength
demands of todays hard working
hydraulic systems.
Swing Dampening Valves.
Swing dampening valves reduce swing
wag and produce smooth swing stops.
Biodegradable Hydraulic Oil.
Biodegradable hydraulic oil is available
as an option.

SmartBoomTM
Reduces stress and vibrations transmitted to the machine and provides a more comfortable
environment ensuring less operator fatigue.

Rock Scraping. Scraping rock and finishing work is easy and

fast. SmartBoomTM simplifies the task and allows the operator
to fully concentrate on stick and bucket, while boom freely
goes up and down without using pump flow.

Hammer Work. It has never been this productive and operatorfriendly. The front parts automatically follow the hammer
while penetrating the rock. Blank shots or excessive force
on the hammer are avoided resulting in longer life for the
hammer and the machine. Similar advantages are applicable
when using vibratory plates.

Truck Loading. Loading trucks from a bench is more productive

and more fuel efficient as the return cycle is reduced while the
boom down function does not require pump flow.

Material Handling. It is more efficient and productive due to

faster return cycles. Unloading barges is easier because
SmartBoomTM avoids excessive force being put on the floor
of the barge allowing the operator to fully concentrate on
production. (Contact your Caterpillar Dealer for 365B L
Series II Material Handler availability.)
