Caterpillar Engine Compression Brake for 735 & 740

With the introduction of the Caterpillar C15 ACERT engine

arrangement comes the Caterpillar Engine Compression Brake. A
system specifically designed and manufactured by Caterpillar for
excellent retardation capabilities. Engine mounted, the engine
compression brake is a system that is used to slow the machine
during descents on grades or when coming to a stop prior to any
service brake application. The Caterpillar Engine Compression
Brake offers an additional 60 braking horse power at 1600 rpm and
an additional 20 brake horse power at 2300 rpm compared to the
Tier 2 engine compression brake offering.
Without a CAT Compression Brake
(1) The intake valve opens and air is forced into the cylinder by boost pressure from the
turbocharger.
(2) Air is compressed by the engine piston. The energy required to compress this air is
produced by the vehicle's driving wheels.
(3) When the piston passes over top dead center and begins its downward stroke, the
energy is returned to the piston (and to the driving wheels). Essentially no energy is
absorbed and no net retarding work is done.
(4) Normal exhaust stroke.

With a CAT Compression Brake

(1A) The intake valve opens and air is forced into the cylinder by boost pressure from the
turbocharger.

(2A) Air is compressed to approximately 500PSI by the engine piston. The energy required to
compress this air is produced by the vehicle's driving wheels. Near top dead center, the
Compression Brake opens the exhaust valves, venting the high pressure air and dissipating the
stored energy through the exhaust system.

(3A) On the downward stroke, essentially no energy is returned to the piston (and to the driving
wheels). There is a loss of energy. This loss is how the retarding work is done.

(4A) Normal exhaust stroke.

740 Ejector B1R00151 227-0746
The new 740 and 740 Ejector trucks now have modified transmission arrangements, which provide a second reverse gear to
enhance performance when operating in long rear hauling applications typical of larger machines. The additional gear
provides a 10% increase in rimpull 78,000 lb-ft (347 kN) is available in first reverse gear. Additional rimpull enables better
traction on wet or steep grades and in slippery terrain.

1 & 7 Clutch 3 & 7 Clutch

Engaged Engaged

To select 1st gear reverse, press the

neutral lock button and move the
transmission lever to R for reverse.
To up-shift from 1st gear reverse to 2nd gear reverse, press the
transmission hold switch on the transmission lever. When ground
speed dictates (approximately 5 mph/8 kph) the transmission will
automatically up-shift. If ground speed drops back down to the shift
point rpm, the transmission will automatically downshift to 1st gear
reverse. The transmission hold switch must be pressed every time if
2nd gear reverse is required
