Emission-Controlled Engine Achieves

Optimum Performance

The GOMACO PS-2600 placer/spreader is powered

by a 275 hp (205.2 kW) Caterpillar C9, 8.8 liter
turbocharged diesel engine. The electronic-
compliant engine reduces emissions and meets
the required industry emission control standards
being mandated for off-road diesel equipment
throughout the world. The engine provides
cleaner combustion and is tuned to achieve
optimum performance.

The modular engine design provides easy access

to service points. The 150 gallon (567.8 L) fuel
reservoir and the 207 gallon (783.6 L) hydraulic oil
reservoir are both independent of the main frame.

G+ Controls – Designed For Concrete Paving

It is now the technology that pulls everything together… G+ is the center that Connects all of the resources.
Once you experience G+ controls, you won’t be satisfied with anything else. It’s a
control system that is both easy to learn and easy to operate. G+ expresses itself
in easy to understand international icons and full script explanations. It operates
in all the major languages of the world and in the imperial or the metric system.
It has a lightning-fast processing speed and features two-way communications
between the accessories and G+. Its instant digital feedback combined with the
tight closed-loop electronic and hydraulic control creates a G+ experience that is
smooth, efficient, and accurate. There is nothing on the market that can compare,
because G+ is a proprietary system that was designed by our in-house control
experts incorporating what we have learned from decades of experience in the
field, and from what we have learned from you, our customer.

SH-111419-D12
- Machine Operation is Simple
- Machine Response is Fast
- Troubleshooting is Pinpointed, Quick, and Easy
- Detailed Fault History

The exclusive GOMACO G+ control system features self-diagnostics for grade and steering. It features new and easy-to-operate hardware
with steering and travel dials. The elevation jog buttons, located to the left of the display screen, are used to manually change the elevation
of the leg when the control loop is set to manual mode. Control dials are used for manual steering and travel. The G+ travel dial turns
to adjust travel speed in one percent increments, and ramps up or down with smooth, precise speed control. This feature is ideal for
controlling the smooth travel speed necessary for placing/spreading. The machine can be turned left or right with the G+ steering dial as it
is moved in the manual travel mode.

A flat-panel 6.5 inch (165 mm) anti-glare display screen is provided with sensor-controlled backlight levels for superior visibility in all
operating conditions. The screen is rugged and shock resistant in its construction to protect against dust, moisture, and rain. G+ provides a
full color display on the control panel to illustrate the various aspects of the placer/spreader for setup and operation. A “run” screen on the
control panel illustrates the various aspects of the placer/spreader. It includes leg position, travel speed and percentage of drive, steering,
travel information, grade information, deviation meters, and more. Newly designed icons and color graphics make it easy to understand
and easy to identify the targeted functions. G+ receives a track speed reading from pulse pickups in the track motors to give you real
time feet (meters) per minute and total linear footage (meters). G+ controls feature a detailed fault history with the time stamp, date, and
information to track when each fault occurred. GOMACO’s G+ control system has been proven around the world.
