Dual Propel Pumps

Caterpillar 3056E ATAAC Engine
Limited Slip Differential
Rear Wheel Drive Motor
Drum Drive Motor

Dual propel pumps provide separate,

balanced hydraulic flow to the rear
wheel axle and the drum drive motors.
Provides superior gradeability on steep
slopes and increases tractive effort in
loose or poor underfoot conditions.
Limited slip differential provides
balanced tractive effort and smooth
torque transfer to both rear wheels.
Two speed ranges for versatile
operation. Low speed range for
vibratory operation and maximum
torque when climbing grades. High
speed range moves machine quickly
over longer distances.
Flushing valves in each propel circuit
helps keep hydraulic oil cool and clean
for maximum system efficiency.

Gradeability and Machine Control

The exclusive dual pump propel system, proven reliable on 500D-Series Soil Compactors,
provides superior performance, machine control and exceptional grade climbing capability.
Two propel pump system has dedicated
pumps to drive the heavy-duty, hightorque rear wheel and drum motors
independently. Should the drum or
wheels begin to spin, there is always
hydraulic flow to the non-spinning
motor, allowing continuous tractive
effort.
Controllability is another feature of
dual propel pumps. The operator has
complete machine control to stop,
maintain machine position and change
directions while on a slope. This feature
is especially useful on steep slopes and
loose underfoot conditions.
The pressure override (POR) valve
limits maximum system pressure by destroking the propel pumps. This reduces
pump flow while maintaining system
pressure. This lowers the horsepower
draw while accelerating the machine
which saves fuel.

One-Piece Sloped Hood Design

The one-piece sloped fiberglass hood design provides excellent service access and
exceptional operator visibility.
Visibility to the tire edges and rear of
machine is exceptional. The sloped
hood allows the operator to see
obstacles measuring 1 meter (3' 3")
high located 1 meter (3' 3") to the rear
of the machine. Excellent visibility
increases productivity when working
near obstructions or maneuvering
around the job site.
One-piece lockable engine hood opens
quickly and easily with the use of gas
struts to provide unrestricted access to
the engine, cooling system and all
service points.
Low sound levels for the operator and
the ground crew due to the one-piece
engine hood and revised cooling air
flow through the rear mounted radiator.

Open Platform with ROPS/FOPS Canopy

exterior rear view mirrors, two frontfacing and two rear-facing working
lights, cab lift cylinder, front and rear
windshield wipers, slide-open side
windows and climate control with
heater and defroster.
Optional air conditioning further
increases operator comfort.

Padfoot Drum and Scrapers

Padfoot drums provide superior performance when compacting clays. Heavy-duty scrapers
break materials away from the drum surface to allow for deep penetration of the padfeet.
The padfoot drum has 140 pads welded
on the drum in a chevron arrangement.
Each pad is 127 mm (5") high and has a
pad face surface area of 89.4 cm2
(13.9 in2) to achieve high ground
contact pressure for maximum
compaction.
The pads are involuted to walk out of
the lift without fluffing or kicking up
the soil around the pads. Pads are
tapered to help clean themselves.
Heavy-duty scrapers mounted on the
front and rear of the drum are
individually adjustable and replaceable.
Helps to reduce excessive material
build up between the pads.

Leveling Blade
Optional leveling blade increases machine versatility and utilization, plus greatly enhances
productivity.
Expands machine versatility and
utilization for use in material
knockdown, site leveling, trench
backfilling and light dozing applications.
Blade position is controlled by
operators right foot to provide simple,
one-handed operation of machine
propel, steering and blade functions
simultaneously for maximum
productivity.
Dual propel pumps provide plenty of
power and tractive effort for effective
blade use without drum spin.
Two-piece reversible and replaceable
cutting edges increase edge service life
and reduce replacement costs.
High mounting point provides superior
curb and obstruction clearance.
No special permits for transporting
with a blade width of 2.5 m (8' 2").

Padfoot Shell Kit

Optional padfoot shell kit expands the application range of the CS-563E to work in either
cohesive or semi-cohesive material.
Expands machine versatility and
utilization while providing a simple and
cost-effective solution for jobs that may
require both padfoot and smooth drum
compaction.
Dual-purpose bumper is also included
with the shell kit and does not need to
be removed once installed. This bumper
can also accept the optional leveling
blade which increases machine
versatility even further.
Bumper also provides adjustable
scraper teeth for use with the padfoot
shell kit and adjustable scraper plates
for use with the standard smooth drum.
When the scraper plates are not being
used, they can be bolted onto the front
of the bumper for convenient storage.
Padfoot shell halves can be quickly and
easily installed or removed in about an
hour with the use of an approved lifting
device.
