joystick to directly control the medium pressure circuit when the auxiliary hydraulic
circuit is switched in the one-way mode.

The current configuration of the auxiliary hydraulic circuit that is in the 300B series of
hydraulic excavators does not allow the medium pressure circuit to be used when the
auxiliary hydraulic circuit is switched in the one-way mode. One of the switches on the
left hand joystick that is used to activate the medium pressure circuit is reserved for the
second speed of the hydraulic hammer when the auxiliary hydraulic circuit is switched
in the one-way mode.

Do not perform any rework procedures until you have read the information in this
publication.

Refer to the appropriate Parts Manual for the location of the hardware.

Note: As a result of modifying the circuit, the second speed of the hydraulic hammer
will be disabled when the auxiliary hydraulic circuit is switched in the one-way mode.
The switches on the left hand joystick will now be used for the medium pressure
circuit. The circuit modification will also allow higher current to flow through the
switches. Over a period of time, the sensitivity of the switches to lower currents will be
reduced. It will then be difficult to return to applications that require lower currents.
After modifying the circuit, the 134-5298 Film inside the cab must be replaced by the
179-0898 Film .

Schematic of the Modified Auxiliary Hydraulic Circuit

The auxiliary hydraulic controller is bypassed in order to allow the switches on the left
hand joystick to directly control the medium pressure circuit. This is accomplished by
performing the following steps.

1. Disconnect the second speed solenoid of the hydraulic hammer "HAMMER 2

SOL ON/OFF" from the auxiliary controller by disconnecting the pink wire "951"
from the controller.

2. Disconnect the switches of the left hand joystick and the medium pressure
solenoid "MEDIUM PRESSURE SOL R1/R2" from the auxiliary controller.

3. For the switches of the joystick, disconnect the orange wire "547" and the blue
wire "546" from the controller.

4. For the medium pressure solenoid, disconnect the pink wire "A848" and the
yellow wire "A847" from the controller.

5. Connect the orange wire "547" to the yellow wire "A847".
