Coverage rates above 0.6 L/m² may not be available at higher speeds depending on head count and configuration.
Note (1)	Spray head opening is automatically controlled by the system to achieve Auto Mode Coverage or manual mode flow rate. Spray head opening is automatically controlled by the system to achieve Auto Mode Coverage or manual mode flow rate.
Note (2)	The Auto Mode setting controls water coverage and automatically adjusts to the number of spray heads being used — independent of ground speed. This is an exclusive feature designed into the Cat WDS software to help water more efficiently. Water flow is continually adjusted during operation to conserve water and achieve desired coverage and flow rate.

This is an exclusive feature designed into the Cat WDS software to help water more efficiently. Water flow is continually adjusted during operation to conserve water and achieve desired coverage and flow rate.
Note (3)	When the truck speed drops below 4.8 kph (3 mph), the system shuts off automatically to prevent overwatering, and then automatically re-starts as speed increases. When the truck speed drops below 4.8 kph (3 mph), the system shuts off automatically to prevent overwatering, and then automatically re-starts as speed increases.
Note (4)	Spray heads on competitive water distribution systems require tools and maintenance to change flow and spray pattern. Caterpillar is the only company to have variable active spray heads to regulate water spray.
