Tilt Autos Optimization on Cat NGH mini/micro machines

Optimize the Tilt Autos performance

You may need to adjust the Autos Optimization values when, for example, you work with a different type of material (such as sand, dirt, or gravel).

Adjusting the values in the Autos Optimization screen may improve the performance of Autos. For example, adjusting the tilt sensitivity setting may increase the smoothness of the tilt movements.

Autos performance is dependent on the speed that you pull in the stick. Experiment with different speeds to find the optimum for your machine and combination of attachment and material. For example:

• A slower or faster speed may produce a better result.
• A smooth take off speed helps.
• Do not vary the speed while optimizing the sliders.

1. Select High Power mode and turn the throttle up to maximum revs.

2. Using Tilt Autos, make a test pass in the material you are working, so that you can judge the current performance of Autos.

   1. Place the attachment on grade at near full reach.
   2. Engage Autos.
   3. Watch how quickly or slowly the attachment moves to the on‑grade position.

   NOTE – The behavior of Autos when the attachment is not loaded with the same material you will work with does not provide enough information to adjust the values in the Autos Optimization screen. Always use this information in conjunction with the results of a test pass.

3. To make any changes, in the Autos Optimization screen, move the slider(s) to increase or decrease the values for the following:

   Type	Option	Description
   Attachment (Tilt)	Tilt Speed	If the attachment is slow to tilt, increase this value.
   	Tilt Sensitivity	If the automatic tilt adjustment is erratic or jerky, decrease this value.

4. Tap Apply.

5. Make another test pass and compare the results. Repeat the process, if necessary, until you get the results you desire.

   You may need to enlist the help of your technician for further fine tuning and a precise check of the machine measure‑up.

Presets

Presets allow you to save Autos Optimization settings so that you can restore them later. This is useful when there is a change in application or material.

Select and Apply a Preset

You can select and apply the active preset via the Autos Setup or Autos Optimization screen. You can access these screens via the Work Settings menu.
