1. Starting switch
This switch (1) is used to start or stop the engine.
(A): OFF position
It is possible to insert and remove the starting switch key, all the
electric system switches are turned off, and the engine stops. In
addition, the parking brake is automatically applied.
(B): ON position
In this position, electric current flows in the charging and lamp
circuits.
Keep the starting switch key at the ON position while the engine
is running.
If the engine water temperature is below 7°C (44.6°F) when the
engine is started, the preheating pilot lamp will light up automati-
cally and preheating will start.
The preheating time differs according to the water temperature
when the engine is started.
If the preheating pilot lamp lights up, wait for it to go out, then
turn the key to the START position.
(C): START position
This is the position to start the engine. Hold the key at this posi-
tion while cranking the engine. Release the key immediately
after the engine has been started. The key will return to ON posi-
tion (B) when released
2. Power mode selector switch
This switch (2) can be used to switch the engine output to match
the purpose of the operation.
When the POWER mode is selected, the output mode pilot lamp
(POWER mode) on the machine monitor lights up.
Position (a):
Economy mode (engine output low); operations with emphasis
on fuel economy, such as operations on level ground where a
maximum output is not needed
Position (b):
Power mode (engine output high); operations with emphasis on
productivity
REMARK
To carry out operations with effective fuel consumption, normally
set to the Economy mode.
The maximum engine speed is set lower than in the Power
mode, but except for hard operations such as heavy-duty dig-
ging of rock, it can display ample power and can also display
good fuel consumption. Furthermore, by pressing the accelera-
tor pedal lightly, it is possible to reduce the fuel consumption.
Set to the Power mode when carrying out heavy-duty digging
operations of rock or operations where the speed is required, or
when traveling at high speed on flat ground or on slopes.
