Monitor Panel

(1) Boom priority mode

(2) Swing priority mode

(3) Fine control mode

(4) User mode

There are four work mode switches for different implement speeds or swing speed. The switches are on the left side of the monitor
panel. Only one mode can be selected at a time.

The controller performs the following functions. Each of the following functions require the use of the keys on the monitor panel in
order to make a selection. The monitor sends the request to the controller. Then, the controller will activate the component that is
required to perform the function.

Boom Priority Mode

When the boom priority mode switch is depressed, the indicator that is located next to the switch illuminates. The boom priority mode
switch is depressed for general use. When the machine is in the boom priority mode, the boom raise movement is faster. The boom
priority mode is suitable for loading of trucks and for trenching.

When you move the boom control lever and the pilot pressure reaches 2480 kPa (360 psi), the switch for the boom RAISE pressure is
turned ON.

The controller activates the fine control solenoid in order to ensure that the speed of the boom is faster. The swing priority solenoid and
the fine control solenoid will not be activated by any other operation of the control lever.

Swing Priority Mode

When the swing priority mode switch is depressed, the indicator that is located next to the switch illuminates. The swing priority mode
switch is depressed in order to place priority on the bottom pump flow to the swing motor. The swing priority mode is suitable for
loading of trucks and for excavating.

When the swing priority mode is selected, the swing priority solenoid is activated. The solenoid is activated in order to ensure swing
priority regardless of any other operation of the control lever.

Fine Control Mode

When the fine control mode switch is depressed, the indicator that is located next to the switch illuminates. The fine control mode
switch is depressed in order to place priority on the top pump flow to the boom and bottom pump flow for stick in. The fine control
mode is suitable for fine finish work or material handling.

When the fine control mode is selected, the fine control solenoid is activated. The solenoid is activated regardless of any other operation
of the control lever.

During stick in operation, one pump flow drives the boom. This gives the top pump priority. During stick out operation, mixed flow
from both pumps drives the stick. This delivers faster response.

Engine power is limited to about 70 percent. When the engine power is limited, all of the actuators move slowly except for the boom
and the stick. The position of the speed dial position is limited to 7 maximum.

User Mode
When the user mode switch is depressed, the indicator that is located next to the switch illuminates. This mode has three sub-modes.
The desired sub-mode can be selected by pushing this switch repeatedly. The sub-mode is displayed on the right side of the display. The
following symbols are used:U1, U2 and U3

Tamping Mode U1
When the tamping mode is selected, the hydraulic circuit is set in order to achieve smooth vertical operation of the boom.

The two speed solenoid and the fine control solenoid are turned ON.

When the boom is lowered, the center bypass passage is not completely closed. This is true during full operation of the boom control
lever. The partially open center bypass passage causes the negative flow control pressure to be greater than 0 kPa (0 psi). This limits the
pump flow. The limited pump flow causes the boom to lower slowly. In addition, the machine will not raise off the ground when the
bucket is lowered against the ground.

When the boom is raised, the boom will move slowly due to the limited pump flow.

Hammer Mode U2
Hammer mode is used in order to provide optimum pump flow to hydraulic attachments. Required pump flow must be stored in the
controller before the hammer mode is used.

The optimum pump flow and pressure are different among hydraulic attachments. The hammer mode is set up in the service mode. The
controller calculates the power shift pressure. The controller sends the required pressure to the hydraulic system in order to obtain the
required pump flow. All of the calculations are accomplished under the present engine speed.

When any of the travel circuits are activated, the hammer mode is turned off.

Customer Mode U3
The customer mode has several options. The options must be preset. When the mode is selected, the selected options are available. The
following list of functions is available:

• Boom Priority Mode

• Swing Priority Mode

• Fine Control Mode

• Maximum Position of the Throttle Dial Setting

• Maximum Hydraulic Power

• Delay Time for the AEC

• Engine Speed in the Second Stage of the AEC

• First Stage of the AEC or the Second Stage of the AEC

• Power Mode ON or Power Mode OFF
