With the tool control (option),
the machine is being provided with
an electronic additional programmable
stackable valve and the ability to optimize
the machine performances according to
5 tool specifications (including settings
for electrical relief valve for hammer
circuit and flow). Flow distribution
between implements is analyzed and
optimized, with the ability to set priority
on the tool or the implements.
This option also includes special joysticks
with modulated switches for medium and
high pressure modulation.
Hydraulic Oil. Caterpillar hydraulic oil
offers maximum protection against
rusting, mechanical and corrosive wear
in all hydraulic systems. Caterpillar
biodegradable synthetic ester hydraulic
oil is factory-installed as an option.

Cat 3054E ATAAC Engine
The four-cylinder turbocharged engine is built for power, reliability and easy maintenance.
3054E ATAAC engine. The 315C is
powered by a Cat 3054E ATAAC diesel
engine, built for world-class
performance and reliability, low
maintenance, long life and excellent
fuel economy for low operating costs.
■ The 3054E ATAAC is a new engine
generation integrating all the technical
concepts in order to improve per-
formance and reliability. The unit
cylinder design allows to improve the
oil consumption by 50% and divides
oil carry over by 10 in the blow-by.
■ The 3054E ATAAC engine complies
with current Stage II worldwide
emission requirements using electronic
control and air to air charge cooling.
■ The 3054E ATAAC Engine is cleaner
and quieter. Cleaner, free from visible
smoke throughout operational speed
range. Quieter, with up to 3dB(A)
reduction in bare engine noise.
8
Reliability. The 3054E ATAAC engine
is reliable, easy to maintain, with lower
maintenance costs.
■ One single oil filter and one single
fuel filter accessible from the ground
for easy maintenance.
■ No priming required after filter
replacement, automatically done
electric lift pump.
■ Increased sump capacity, oil cartridge
and fuel filter improved performance,
improved combustion efficiency and
allows an increase in the maintenance
intervals from 250 h to 500 h.
Power, Economy and Low Emissions.
Cat 3054E ATAAC Engine four
cylinder turbocharged engine built for
power, reliability, economy and low
emissions will keep the machine up and
running. The engine is electronically
controlled and air to air aftercooled for
optimized combustion under different
loads and temperature conditions.
This results in better fuel control and
reduced emissions, improving
refinement and lowering fuel
consumption.
Displacement. The displacement of the
engine has been increased to 4.4 liter
for better torque capability, reducing
the engine speed drop during the load
impact, which gives a good engine
response during transient cycle.
Advanced electronic control module.
■ Cold mode start-up strategy
combined with glow plugs
■ Accelerated engine warm up
■ Reduced white smoke
■ Automatic altitude compensation
■ Engine speed regulation when
overheating is sensed.
Fuel system. Efficient direct injection
fuel system means lower operating cost.
Closed breather (option). Due to low
blow-by and oil carry over, the engine
comes install without closed breather
circuit. For special countries, where
there are specific regulations, closed
breather circuit is available.
Automatic Engine Control. Automatic
Engine Control (AEC) with convenient
one-touch command. Three-stage
control maximizes fuel efficiency and
reduces sound levels.
■ First stage AEC: Selected when the
AEC indicator on the Multipro panel
is “OFF”. If a no-load or light-load
condition continues for more than 3
seconds, the AEC reduces engine
speed by 100 rpm.
■ Second stage AEC: Selected when
the AEC indicator on the Multipro
panel is “ON”. If a no-load or light-
load condition continues for more
than 3 seconds, the AEC reduces
engine speed to 1300 rpm.
■ Third stage AEC: Pressing the switch
on the top of the right hand control
joystick when the levers are in neutral
position, reduces the engine speed to
1020 rpm. If the switch is pressed
again or if a control lever is moved,
the engine speed returns to its normal
level.
