10/10/20 Load Management Policy

Draglines

10/10/20 LOAD MANAGEMENT POLICY — DRAGLINES “Machine overload” shall consist of operating the dragline(s) outside of the acceptable allowable load dis- tribution. The customer shall be responsible for the monitor- ing and management of all dragline operational activi- ties, including, but not limited to, management of the machine loading such that its loaded distribution is within the acceptable allowable load distribution. Operating outside of these parameters over any roll- ing 30 day period can void the customer’s standard war- ranty; any extended warranty; any availability guarantee and/or result in adjustments to Caterpillar’s obligations under any contract or agreement. Loading Distribution Loading use over any rolling 30 Day period analyzed: ● Nomore than 10%of loads should exceed 110%of rated payload. ● No load should exceed 120% of rated payload. ● The average of all loads for the unit must at least equal the rated payload.

KEY

90% of loads should fall into this range. No more than 10% of loads should exceed 110% of the target payload. No loads should be above 120% of the target payload.

Notes ● For this policy to be in effect, the “operational cycle” payload feedback must be available to the operator in order that the customer can control actual payloads. ● Customermust procure, install, and useAccessDirect™, MIDAS, and Accuload, and the data must be provided to Caterpillar unmodified and unencumbered. ● Caterpillar must be notified in a timely fashion if the pay- load monitoring and feedback system is out of service. % of Target Payload Loading use in excess of this prescribed distribu- tion is considered “machine overload.”
