Hydraulic System and Digging/Lifting Performance

Realizing Efficient Hydraulic Control
Hydraulic Boosting System
This system can increase arm roll-in speed for digging operation. Here's why. Return pressure oil
from boom cylinder rod side is delivered to arm cylinder bottom side through a regenerative valve
to increase flow rate for productive operation.
 Hydraulic Boosting System

Enhanced Boom Recirculation System
In combined operation of boom and arm, pressurized oil from boom cylinder bottom side is
delivered to boom cylinder rod side, assisted by boom weight, for boom lowering.
At the same time, pressurized oil from the pump is delivered to the arm cylinder for arm movement.

Improvements in Digging Performance
Power Boost with a Difference You Can Feel
Our long-popular power boost feature has been increased by 10 % over normal mode in the new
ZAXIS (6% in conventional models) with the aim of having the operator feel the difference during
excavation work.

Improvements in Lifting Performance
Increased Auto Power Boost

The amount of automatic pressure boost in
the Auto Power Boost, which automatically
boosts lifting power when loads are heavy,
has been increased to 10 % over normal in
the new ZAXIS (6% in conventional ZAXIS
models).
Comfortable Operation Even in Cold Weather
Engine Warming up System for Automatic Warm-up

This system automatically increases the
engine speed in cold weather to quickly warm
up the hydraulic oil and coolant to the proper
temperature.
19 New 400LCH
Support for Various Attachments

Improving Application for Attachments
Further Improved Attachment Replacing Support System

Like the conventional ZAXIS models, the new
ZAXIS offers the ability to easily switch valves
and change set flows using the multi function
monitor.
The new ZAXIS provides ability to register easy-
to-remember names for each of the settings.
Total of 11 types for pressure and flow can be
preset.
Hour Meter for the Breaker is Displayed on the Multi Function Monitor
With the new ZAXIS, the number of hours that

the breaker has been used for can be displayed
on the multi function monitor.
In addition, since the breaker operation hours
and working ratio can be viewed, the operator
can verify the time when the hydraulic oil and
filter should be replaced. (with resettable trip
function)
Breaker Alarm Warns of Continuous Use (Opt.)

With the new ZAXIS, the operator can set an
alarm function that displays a warning icon and
sounds a warning buzzer when there is ‘more
than one minute of continuous use’ of the
breaker, which is forbidden during breaker work.
This is useful in preventing abnormal wear to the
chisel and in protecting the hydraulic
components.

with OPG top guard (Level I)
 ISO Safety Standard

Name Standard Details
Structure for OPG ISO 10262 Operator Protective Guards

protecting against This standard is specific to hydraulic excavators and stipulates
falling and flying ‘top guards’ and ‘front guards’.
objects ‘Top guard’ is a structure designed to protect against objects
falling toward the operator’s head. Energy absorption is set at
Level I: 1,365J and Level II: 11,600J. This means that the
protective structure entity will not penetrate into the DLV even
when these amounts of energy are applied.
‘Front guard’ is a structure designed to protect against objects
flying toward the operator from a frontal direction. Energy
absorption is set at Level I: 700J and Level II: 5,800J. This
means that the protective structure entity will not penetrate into
the DLV even when these amounts of energy are applied.
Note: DLV = Deflection Limiting Volume

Optimum Data Communication System

The Function of Global e-Service
Hitachi’s Global e-Service is a dedicated online, web based application, developed by Hitachi to
help customers monitor and operate customers' fleet of Hitachi machines in the best possible way
to increase productivity, reduce downtime, and ultimately reduce costs.
The Global e-Service website can be accessed at any time from any computer connected to the
Internet. After logging on to the website, a variety of essential information is available, ranging from
recent machine operation data and maintenance records, to information on the actual geographical
location of your machines.
Global e-Service sends its machine operation data on a daily basis via GPRS or satellite to a main
server managed by Hitachi. This data is then processed by Hitachi and made available to
customers in a clear and structured way through the Global e-Service website.
62 New 400LCH
The Data provided through Global e-Service
The Global e-Service website provides access to up to date and relevant machine
information including:
 Machine management information

 Machine operation data, e.g. hours of use, pressures, temperatures, pay-loads
 Fuel consumption figures and fuel levels
 Recommended service and inspection intervals
 Maintenance history
 Tracking the geographical location of your machines(S)
63 New 400LCH
Maintenance Information
The Global e-Service website gives customers the opportunity to store and recall all details
of maintenance services carried out in the past or planned in the future to streamline
planning of each machine’s utilisation.
Monitoring maintenance details
Selecting the tab “Maintenance” will give customers an immediate overview of the maintenance
status of a particular machine.
The complete maintenance history record of each machine is displayed in one screen. Moreover
any maintenance carried out on the machine is shown in the overview the next day.
Planning maintenance activities
To help customers efficiently plan maintenance activities to be carried out on a particular machine,
the actual operating hours of each main sub-assembly are shown as a function of the maintenance
items to be carried out in hours.
This will help customers define when maintenance activities should be performed so that
customers can reflect this information in the planning of the machine’s utilisation, parts ordering,
etc
64 New 400LCH
Geographical Location
Efficiently monitoring and planning the utilisation of any of customers machines’ requires
customers to know each machine’s exact geographical location of current operation.
The latest reported location of customers' machines can be shown on the screen using different
mapping methods based on GIS (Geographical Information System) or Google Maps.
