Service Training Meeting Guide
2
The "C" Series Skid Steer Loaders, Multi Terrain Loaders and Compact Terrain Loaders are
equipped with several new features as shown in this illustration.
The operator's station has been redesigned with several new controls and an Advanced Machine
Information and Control System (AMICS) digital display panel that can display machine
information, along with three operator modes and seven service modes.
The hydrostatic drive system is now electronically controlled by the Machine ECM. The
joysticks in the cab send signals to the Machine ECM, which sends corresponding signals to the
pump control solenoids to control pump output.
The work tool hydraulic system is also electronically controlled by the Machine ECM. The
joysticks in the cab send signals to the Machine ECM, which sends corresponding signals to the
work tool lift, tilt, and auxiliary solenoids. The solenoids control the work tool directional
spools, which control oil to the lift and tilt cylinders and the auxiliary circuit.
The electrical system includes a new single Machine ECM, which controls many more machine
functions than the "B" Series machines.
