INTRODUCTION
The Caterpillar 300D Series range of Hydraulic Excavators incorporate design innovations and
performance improvements from the 300C Hydraulic Excavator Series and are a direct
replacement for them.
The range comprises of: 320D, 321D, 323D, 324D, 325D, 328D, & 330D, with some models
having various additional machine arrangements.
The machines feature a new cab for greater operator comfort. The cab provides the operator
with excellent visibility of processing equipment, trucks, and railcars. The cab, consoles, and
joysticks have been improved to provide a better access and understanding of all functions.
This presentation discusses the systems operation of the 300D Series Hydraulic Excavators,
along with basic engine and machine component location.
NOTE: Most of the illustrations of the iron in this presentation will be of the 325D and
330D excavators. The other models will be configured similarly, but component
locations may be different. Some of the illustration may show pilot iron instead of
production iron.
The most significant differences will be related to the engine compartment due to the
three different engines being used in this series of machines as well as two of the models
being compact radius (CR).

The SmartBoom™ attachment enhances operation of the boom function and significantly
reduces cycle times of the machine. The SmartBoom™ is essentially a boom float attachment,
which allows the operator to lower the boom under its own weight or for the boom to raise up
due to stick force.
Service and maintenance intervals have been extended to reduce machine service time and
increase machine availability.
Options include the following:
The Machine Security System (MSS): This system uses a special Caterpillar key with an
embedded electronic chip for controlling unauthorized machine operation.
Product Link: This option provides all kinds of information and working parameters
through a satellite connection between an onboard computer and the machine. Product
Link provided easier fleet management and improved preventive maintenance. PL121
and PL321 are available to chose from.
AccuGrade: This option provides precise control of the worktool using software.
Auxiliary Hydraulic Options: This option allows you to configure the machine to meet
work tool needs, while increasing its versatility.
- Single Function Circuit – suited for tools that require one-way flow with one or both
pumps, such as hammers and vibratory plate compactors.
- Double Function Circuit – suited for tools that require two-way flow, utilizing one or
two pump flows, such as thumbs, non-rotation grapples, or shears.

For the most part the main implement hydraulic system operation for the 300D Series is the
same as the 300C Series. The "D" Series continues using many of the "C "excavator features,
such as automatic priorities and tool control systems.
The machines use a negative flow type hydraulic system. The main control valve and pumps
are similar to the "C" Series. Each of the models may have the components located in different
locations due to the size of the machine or the type of carbody.
The 330D is equipped with new designs for the main hydraulic pumps and is the only model
equipped with a hydraulic demand fan system.
Vol. 5, No. 1
The optional tool control system maximizes work tool productivity by configuring hydraulic
flow, pressure, and operator controls to match a specific work tool. System versatility enables a
wide range of tools to be used.
The system stores pressure and flow information for up to 10 tools. Selectable Cat tools have
preset flows and pressures.
The 300D excavators produced in Akashi and Aurora (for the NACD) can be equipped with the
following factory installed tool control systems:
- System 3 (Hammer) - provides two pump flow in a single direction only. This system
also includes a mechanical line relief valve (LRV) for lower psi tools (single action).
- System 5 (Thumb) - provides one pump flow in both directions (extend/retract double
action) and can be controlled with a foot pedal or a joystick.
- System 14 (Multifunction) - provides one or two pump flow in one or two directions
(single action or double action). System 14 has full electronic controls. An optional,
independent medium pressure circuit is used for such applications as a rotating shear or
ditch cleaning bucket.
The system 14 functions are now controlled through the Machine ECM. A separate Tool
Control ECM as was used on the 300C Series is not needed.
Vol. 5, No. 1
The machines produced in Akashi and Gosselies for the EAME market will have the following
factory installed optional tool control systems:

MACHINE WALK-AROUND
The 300D Series track excavators have been designed for fast, easy service with extended
service intervals, advanced filtration, convenient filter access, and user-friendly electronic
diagnostics for increased productivity and reduced maintenance costs.
The hydraulic system and component locations have been designed to provide a high level of
system efficiency. The main pumps, control valves, and hydraulic tank are located close
together to allow for shorter tubes and lines between components which reduces friction loss
and pressure drops in the lines. This design reduces engine compartment heat and sound being
transmitted to the operator.
Components shown include:

- stick (1)
- boom (2)
- operator station (3)
- access door to air cleaner and battery compartment (4)
- engine access cover (5)
- access door to radiator compartment (6)
- counterweight (7)

The heating and air conditioning system is electronically controlled. The control panel for the
heating and air conditioning system is located on the right console. The switches on the control
panel are:
ON/OFF switch (1): Push the ON/OFF switch in order to power on the system. Push the
switch again in order to power off the system.
Automatic control switch (2): In order to enter the full "AUT" Mode for automatic climate
control, push this switch. However, if the switch is pushed again, the air conditioning can not
be turned off. When the system is in full "AUT" Mode, specific functions can be manually
changed by pushing another switch.
If a specific function is manually changed, "AUT" will not appear in the display, but the
unchanged functions will remain in "AUT" mode.
In order to take advantage of the full "AUT" setting of the climate control system, always keep
the sunlight sensor clean. Do not obstruct the sunlight sensor. If the climate control system is
in the full "AUT" setting at engine start-up and the temperature inside the cab is too warm or
too cool, the damper for fresh air ventilation may automatically close for a few minutes. This
will help to bring the air temperature to the preset temperature more quickly.
Vol. 5, No. 1
Temperature Switch (3): This switch controls the temperature of the air entering from the air
outlets in order to achieve the preset temperature. The preset temperature appears on display.
If the heating and air conditioning system is in the automatic mode, pushing these switches
changes the preset temperature.
LCD panel (4): The panel displays the settings of the HVAC system.
Fan switch (5): The fan switch directly controls the fan speed. If the climate control system is
operating in the automatic mode, pushing this switch overrides the automatically selected fan
speed.
Compressor switch (6): Push the switch in order to turn on the compressor or push the switch
in order to turn off the compressor. In humid conditions, the compressor may be used to
remove moisture from the air in the cab. In cool weather, operate the compressor weekly in
order to prevent leakage of the refrigerant gas and to help maintain the compressor in optimum
working order.
Defrost Mode (7): Depressing this switch will defog the windows. The air will also be
dehumidified while the compressor is running.
Air inlet select switch (8): This switch selects the position of the air inlet for recirculation or
for fresh air.
Air outlet select switch (9): This switch selects the position of each air outlet. Each switch
controls a different air outlet.

NOTE: In order to convert the temperature reading from Degrees Celsius to Degrees
Fahrenheit, depress both keys of the fan switch at the same time for five seconds. The
same action is used for converting the temperature reading from Degrees Fahrenheit to
Degrees Celsius.

The back-up switches are located behind the right armrest. The right switch (1) controls the
engine rpm. The left switch (2) toggles between back-up and auto.
The left switch activates/deactivates the Back-up Mode. When Back-up Mode is active, a fixed
power shift pressure is provided to the pumps. The fixed power shift pressure limits maximum
pump output and allows the machine to continue operating in a Derate Mode. Machine
productivity will be limited while the machine is in Back-up Mode.
The right switch is used to control the engine speed while Back-up Mode is active. Holding the
right switch in the DOWN position decreases the engine rpm. Holding the right switch in the
UP position increases the engine rpm.
The diagnostic connector (3) is located inside of the operator's station behind the right armrest,
beside the back-up switches.
