Power Mode Switch
If equipped with monitor panel with text.
If equipped with monitor panel without text.Push this switch to change the power mode of the machine. When the engine start switch is turned on, the power mode remains the same as it was before the engine start switch was turned off. Select a suitable power mode position from the three positions, depending on type of working conditions or purposes. The digging force does not vary in any mode. (Mode III) This mode is suitable for heavy duty work which needs high operating speed. Changing the switch to this position provides maximum machine power. (Mode II) This mode is suitable for ordinary work. Changing the switch to this position slightly reduces the operating speed and provides medium machine power. This will reduce the noise and fuel consumption, compared with Mode III. With the engine speed dial at position "9" or higher during implement and/or swing operation, this mode position provides a maximum of engine speed equivalent to dial position "8". Travel operation is not affected. (Mode I) This mode is suitable for light duty work such as leveling work which does not need high speed. Changing the switch to this position provides the minimum machine power to minimize the fuel consumption and noise. With the speed dial at position "7" or higher, this mode position provides a maximum of engine speed equivalent to dial position "6".Work Mode Switch
If equipped with monitor panel with text.
If equipped with monitor panel without text.Push this switch to select a work mode. When the engine start switch is turned on, the work mode remains the same as it was before the engine start switch was turned off. Select a suitable work mode position, depending on the type of work to be done. Boom Priority Mode (1) - This position gives priority for the "BOOM RAISE" circuit. This will assure fast cycle time by increasing the boom up speed. Swing Priority Mode (2) - This position gives priority for swing circuit to assure independent swing pressure. This is suitable for ditch work which needs neatly finished side wall surfaces. Fine Control Mode (3) - This position allows both boom and stick to operate independently. This assures fine and smooth movements of the boom and stick and is suitable for leveling work which needs a high precision finished level surface.Fine Swing Control (If Equipped)
The fine swing control switch is located on the left console.Push down on the front of the switch to activate fine swing control for improved control during swing deceleration.Push down on the rear of the switch to turn off the fine swing control. Operate with fine swing control off when high swing forces are required (such as digging on a sidewall).
