The new E-Series Trucks build on the Cat tradition for performance,
comfort, serviceability, and reliability. Major improvements include:
The 773E and 775E are direct replacements for the 773D and 775D,
respectively. With these changes, these trucks have been developed to
satisfy the ever-increasing demands from the quarry and construction
industries. As such, these trucks deliver to customers more of what they
need and less of what they don’t.

Engine On the 773E and 775E, software changes were made to the 3412E
engine to improve hauling performance and emissions standards. The
3412E engine has increased horsepower and torque rise on the 773E
and 775E. These changes include:
Net Power 485 kW 650 hp 501 kW 671 hp 517 kW 693 hp 544 kW 730 hp

The 3412E HEUI® engine offers a higher torque rise for each truck.
With this increased torque rise, this rugged engine provides higher
lugging force during acceleration and requires less downshifting on
grade or in rough underfoot conditions. It also matches the transmission
shift point to provide maximum efficiency and faster cycle times. The
integrated HEUI is a high-pressure, direct fuel-injection system that
independently controls injection timing, duration, performance, and
efficiency.

Target Payload New Payload Rating
Caterpillar® 773E and 775E Quarry and Construction Trucks are now
specified with a target payload rating. This method of rating payload
achieves an accurate and realistic measurement of the payload target
necessary to help achieve the lowest cost per ton. The target payload is
based on the designed and certified maximum gross machine weight.
Thus, the target payload should be achieved in order to obtain the
highest level of production without adversely affecting machine life
and, ultimately, cost per ton.

Target Payload Regulatory and product support considerations prompted requests for
quantification of “acceptable” overload on Caterpillar Off-Highway
Continued Trucks. Technically, any overload will adversely affect component life
and potentially decertify brakes and/or steering. In an effort to support
warranty considerations and maintenance and repair contracts
(MARCs), target payload ratings were developed in conjunction with
the Caterpillar 10/10/20 Overload Policy.

10/10/20 Overload Policy What is 10/10/20 Overload Policy?
The Caterpillar payload overload policy, referred to as the 10/10/20
Overload Policy, states that no more than 10% of payloads may exceed
110% of the truck’s target payload, and no single payload shall ever
exceed 120% of the maximum target payload. The graph below
provides an illustration of the 10/10/20 Overload Policy.

What’s Different?
The Caterpillar reputation for building durable, long-lasting haul trucks
started over 30 years ago. Over the years, Cat haul trucks have been
refined, using proven designs and technology. Today, the latest 3-
dimensional modeling and analysis tools are used to ensure Cat trucks
meet customer needs. With the change to managing payloads to a target
level and following 10/10/20 guidelines, the effective, allowable
payload has increased on all models. Instead of managing payloads to
something less than “maximum payload,” a target payload is specified
to assist in maximizing productivity and machine life.

Cooling System In the continuing effort to improve overall truck performance and meet
emissions requirements, the following changes have been made to the
cooling system:
Step 1:
Purge the oil filters by disconnecting the “line to oil filter” at the
QuickEvac bracket disconnect fitting. Connect a compressed air line to
the “line to oil filter” to apply compressed air to the oil filters. This
partially purges used oil from the filter prior to sump evacuation. The
air will push the oil through the filter’s normal path thus eliminating the
risk of reintroducing any debris trapped in the filter into the oil stream.
1. Oil filter purge
Step 2:
Connect the oil waste line hose from a PM truck or shop waste oil
container to the QuickEvac pump’s quick disconnect fitting on the
QuickEvac bracket. Switch on the QuickEvac pump with the remote
operator switch to evacuate the engine oil sump in less than two
minutes. By using the QuickEvac Service Tool (part #187-1458), the oil
can be evacuated into an open waste container if required.

Serviceability Continued
Step 3:
Change the oil filters. Note that the chance of spillage is virtually
eliminated because the used oil filters were partially purged of oil. Do
not prefill the new oil filters with fresh oil prior to installation.
Step 4:
Fill the engine sump and new filters with fresh oil by connecting a fresh
oil fill line to the “line to oil filter” on the 775E. Fill the system with the
proper amount of oil. Note that the new oil flows through the filters in
its normal path at less than normal engine oil operating pressure,
filtering the new oil while filling the entire system. After filling the
system to capacity, verify the oil level in the sump by checking the
dipstick. There is no need to start the engine since the entire system,
4. Filter and sump refill
including filters, has been filled. Adjust the new oil level if necessary.
Step 5:
Disconnect the fresh oil fill line from the “line to oil filter.” Reconnect
the “line to oil filter” to the oil filters at the QuickEvac bracket (quick
disconnect fitting). The engine is fully prelubricated and ready to start.
5. QuickEvac reconnect

Serviceability Continued Contamination Control
Environmentally efficient, clean oil changes are ensured since the
engine sump is evacuated directly into waste containers with flush
faced, quick disconnects for fast evacuation and fill. This eliminates the
handling of waste oil and minimizes the chances of oil spillage while
enhancing Contamination Control efforts by ensuring complete filtration
of new oil on engine refill. QuickEvac procedures also lower the oil
level below the filler neck in the filter prior to removal. This also
reduces the chance of oil spillage when removing the old filters. For
evacuation into open waste containers, use the QuickEvac Service Tool
(part #187-1458).
Truck Body The dual-slope truck body, now available on the 775E, offers the lowest
cost-per-ton hauling solution in most construction applications. It
handles a variety of material conditions and densities, and, due to its
increased strength over the flat-floor design, is particularly effective in
sites with rough haul roads and steeper grades. An 8° “V”-shaped
bottom improves load retention, maintains a low center of gravity, and
reduces shock loading.
The 400 Brinell steel body resists loading impact and sustained hauling
stresses with side wall and floor junctions joined by five-sided beams.
In addition, box-section beams boost the durability of the floor, side

walls, top rail, and canopy areas.

Emissions Along with the other improvements, the 773E meets Tier 2 emissions
requirements set forth by the United States Environmental Protection
Agency. This machine will also meet European Stage II Emissions
Directive 97/98/EC for its horsepower class. Likewise, the 775E
continues to meet U.S. EPA Tier I Emissions standards.
