Electrical system

High-capacity electrical system that is well protected. Waterproof double-lock harness plugs are used to secure corrosion-free connections. The main relays and solenoid valves are shielded to prevent damage. Contronics: provides advanced monitoring of machine functions and important diagnostic information.

Hydraulic system

The hydraulic system, also known as the Integrated work mode control, is designed for high productivity, high digging capacity, high maneuvering precision, and good fuel economy. The summation system, boom, arm, and swing priority along with boom and arm regeneration provide optimum performance. The following important functions are included in the system: Summation system: Combines the flow of both hydraulic pumps to ensure quick cycle times and high productivity. Boom priority: Gives priority to the boom operation for faster raising when loading or performing deep excavations. Arm priority: Gives priority to the arm operation for faster cycle times in leveling and for increased bucket filling when digging. Swing priority: Gives priority to swing functions for faster simultaneous operations. Regeneration system: Prevents cavitation and provides flow to other movements during simultaneous operations for maximum productivity. Power boost: All digging and lifting forces are increased. Holding valves: Boom and arm holding valves prevent the digging equipment from creeping. Automatic hydraulic system: Summation system Boom priority Arm priority Swing priority Boom and arm regeneration valves Swing anti-rebound valves Boom and arm holding valves Multi-stage filtering system Cylinder cushioning Cylinder contamination seals Auxiliary hydraulic valve Automatic two-speed travel motors Hammer & shear piping 1 and 2 pump flow Pump flow control for hammer & shears Additional return filter 1 switch control 2 switch control Pedal control Slope & rotator piping Oil leak (drain) line piping Quick fit piping (UQF, SQF) Volvo hydraulic quick fit (UQF29, UQF29 wide, S2) Hydraulic oil, ISO VG 32.
