The 6 cylinder turbocharged and intercooled engine offers a powerful 228kW (305hp). It is coupled with an in-line direct injection fuel system which provides high combustion efficiency for low fuel consumption.
The control panel and servo-assisted controls are within easy reach. Also, the AMS monitor is easily visible without obscuring the operator's view from the cab.
First time starting, in the coldest of conditions, is assisted by automatic pre-heat in each cylinder. The heavy duty boom and reinforced dipper arm are made for tough excavation work and extracting hard material. The control panel and servo-assisted controls are within easy reach. Also, the AMS monitor is easily visible without obscuring the operator's view from the cab.
The pressed steel cab is spacious and sound insulated, with large safety glass areas for excellent all-round visibility. The front window is spring assisted to slide easily into the cab roof.
The 'Cushion Control' feature reduces shock to both operator and machine during excavator operations.
To reduce operator fatigue caused by cab vibration - especially when tracking at high speed - the cab is mounted on unique combined hydraulic and rubber suspension units.
AMS - Advanced Management System: Maximizes machine performance and minimizes fuel consumption by matching the engine to the hydraulic output. Full diagnostics minimize downtime and allow machine usage to be analyzed.
Four work modes can be selected for greater productivity and fuel economy in different operating conditions: H-Mode for continuous high production or digging in hard ground. S-Mode for general excavating or trenching. L-Mode for lighter duty finishing work or precise positioning. Plus F-Mode for fine work and lifting.
The 'One-touch Idling' feature on the servo control lever means that engine revolutions can be dropped to idle at the touch of a button, then easily returned to its original setting. This reduces fuel consumption at non-productive times and allows maximum control.
The air conditioning system is capable of quick heating, cooling and dehumidifying the cab environment.
The suspension seat is fully adjustable to suit individual posture. Both armrests, including the excavator controls, slide backwards and forwards for optimum operator comfort. The left-hand armrest also lifts up for easy cab access.
The extra length and weight of the fabricated frame undercarriage provides a safe and stable operating platform.
The track chain is sealed for maximum wearing life - even under the stress of lengthy high speed tracking periods.
The underguarded frame, turret and track frames are all extremely robust, and are designed and tested for long machine life.
The large radiator is fitted with a removable fine mesh grille to filter out debris, maintain cleanliness and provide efficient cooling. |
