3126B ATAAC Engine
The six-cylinder, HEUI, turbocharged and air-to-air aftercooled engine is built for power,
reliability, low maintenance, excellent fuel economy and low emissions.
Turbocharged and Air-to-air aftercooled.
Turbocharger packs more dense air
into the cylinders for more complete
combustion and lower emissions
improving performance and engine
efficiency. These benefits are especially
useful at high altitudes. Air-to-air
aftercooler reduces smoke and emissions
by providing a cooler inlet air for more
efficient combustion. This also extends
the life of the piston rings and bore.
Three valves. Three valves per cylinder
allow for good air flow enhancing fuel
efficiency and heat rejection.
Cooling system. The 325C L and the
325C LN feature unique side by side
radiators. In order to ease cleaning of
water and hydraulic oil radiators, these
are separated. Since they are protected by
a fine mesh screen and not staked on each
other, cleaning of plugged radiators is
much easier and therefore reduces the risk
of overheating. While engine coolant
radiator is ran by a belt, the hydraulic oil
radiator is driven by an independant

Hydraulics
Fast cycle times and high bucket and stick forces combine to maximize your
productivity in any job.
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.
Easy to operate hydraulics.
Cat hydraulics give the 325C L and
325C LN exceptional efficiency
and controllability unmatched in
the industry for consistently high
performance in all applications.
The 325C L/LN easy-to-use hydraulic
system provides automatic infinite
priority selections between swing and
boom, maximizing performance and
simplifying operation. Boom and swing
priority is adjusted automatically
depending on joystick input, eliminating
the need to select the work-mode. This
is a unique feature in the market.
Auxiliary Hydraulic Circuits.
The new auxiliary hydraulic circuits
are electronically controlled, allowing
essential parameters for frequently used
hydro-mechanical worktools to be
pre-recorded. This on-board electro-
hydraulic system eliminates the need
for manual readjustments to the
auxiliary hydraulics, each time a
different tool is used.
Hydraulic Pumps Cross Sensing System.
It improves productivity with faster
implement speeds and quicker,
stronger pivot turns.
Hydraulic Cylinder Snubbers.
The hydraulic cylinder snubbers at
rod end of boom cylinders and both
ends of stick cylinders cushion shocks,
reduce sound and increase cylinder life,
keeping the machine working longer.
Controllability. The hydraulic system
offers precise control to the 325C L/LN,
reducing operator fatigue, improving
operator effectiveness and efficiency,
which ultimately translates into
enhanced performance.
Boom and Stick Regeneration Circuit.
Boom and stick regeneration circuits
increase efficiency and reduce cycle
times for higher productivity and lower
operating costs.
SmartBoom. The unique Cat
SmartBoom attachment significantly
enhances operator efficiency in
applications including rock scraping,
finishing work, hammer and truck
loading applications.

5
SmartBoom
Reduces stress and vibrations transmitted to the machine and provides a more comfortable
environment ensuring less operator fatigue.
Rock Scraping. Scraping rock and finishing work is easy and
fast. SmartBoom simplifies the task and allows the operator to
fully concentrate on stick and bucket, while boom freely goes
up and down without using pump flow.
Truck Loading. Loading trucks from a bench is more productive
and more fuel efficient as the return cycle is reduced while the
boom down function does not require pump flow.
6
Hammer Work. It has never been this productive and operator-
friendly. The front parts automatically follow the hammer
while penetrating the rock. Blank shots or excessive force on
the hammer are avoided resulting in longer life for the
hammer and the machine. Similar advantages are applicable
when using vibratory plates.
Material Handling. It is more efficient and productive due to
faster return cycles. Unloading barges is easier because
SmartBoom avoids excessive force being put on the floor
of the barge allowing the operator to fully concentrate on
production.
