Starting engine
When starting switch (5) is turned to "ON"
position, engine controller (6) sends com-
mand current to fuel supply pump (14).
For this reason, a fail-safe mechanism is
provided with the electrical system to stop
the engine when an electrical failure
occurs.
When starting switch (5) is turned to
"START" with lock lever (7) set in the
"LOCK" position, a starting current is sup-
plied to starting motor (13) causing the
engine to start.
However, as the neutral safety mecha-
nism is provided, the engine will not start if
lock lever (7) is set in the "FREE" position
at this time; starting motor cut-out relay (9)
cuts off the starting current to starting
motor (13).
Upon receipt of the engine cut-off com-
mand from the external source,
KOMTRAX terminal (19) sends the signal
to machine monitor (18).
Machine monitor (18) causes starting
motor cut-out relay (10) to cut off the start-
ing current to starting motor (13), therefore
the engine does not start.

Engine speed control

Upon receipt of a fuel control dial (11) con-
trol signal, engine controller (6) sends a
command current to fuel supply pump (14)
to adjust the fuel injection amount to con-
trol the engine speed.

Stopping engine
When starting switch (5) is turned to
"OFF" position, the current from the ACC
terminal of starting switch (5) to engine
controller (6) is cut off, and consequently
the command current to fuel supply pump
(14) is cut off.
Fuel supply pump (14) stops fuel feed,
causing the engine speed to go down and
the engine stops.

Function
This function is turned ON when 1 of the 5
work modes of P, E, L, ATT and B is selected
with the work mode selector switch of the
machine monitor. The most suitable combina-
tion of engine torque (T) and pump absorption
torque can be selected for the contents of
work. If "Without" is selected for the attach-
ment on the initialization menu of the service
mode, 1 of the 3 modes of P, E and L is select-
able.
According to the pump absorption torque set at
each mode, based on the engine governor set
speed with the fuel control dial and the actual
engine speed, the controller controls pump
delivery (Q) so that the pump will absorb all
torque at each engine output point.
When the engine speed (N) is lowered, the
controller prevents the engine from stopping by
throttling the pump absorption torque.

E

22.2 kW/1,370 rpm
L
{29.8 HP/1,370 rpm}

Pump delivery (Q) is so controlled that engine

speed (N) will be kept near the matching point
set in each mode.
If the load on the pump increases and pump
discharge pressure (P) increases, engine
speed (N) starts decreasing. At the time, the
controller reduces the pump delivery (Q) to
increase the engine speed to the matching
point. If the load on the pump decreases and
pump discharge pressure (P) decreases to the
contrary, pump delivery (Q) is increased until
the engine speed increases to speed (N) near
the matching point.

Control function during travel
In P, ATT or B mode, engine speed (N) at the
matching point is set higher during travel than
during working.
In E or L mode, engine speed (N) and pump
absorption torque are kept constant during
travel and working.

Control function with emergency pump drive
switch "ON"
If the controller gets out of order and no work is
possible because the hydraulic pump does not
work properly, operating emergency pump
drive switch (1) temporarily enables to main-
tain functions of the machine with absorption
torques quite similar to those in the E mode.
In this case, a constant current flows from the
battery to the PC-EPC valve, thus the hydrau-
lic pump is not controlled by the controller.
a: Emergency
b: Normal
Emergency pump drive switch (1) is of the
alternative type. If the machine is operated
after the switch is set to "Emergency (a)" even
though the machine is normal, the user code
"E02" will be shown on the display.

Pump control function during travel

See "Engine and pump mutual control func-
tion" for details.

Travel junction function

When the travel control lever and work equip-
ment control lever are operated, travel junction
function detects the pilot pressure and judges
whether it is for travel/ work equipment com-
pound operation or for travel independent
operation.
For travel/ work equipment compound opera-
tion, the signal to the travel junction/ pump
merge-divider solenoid valve is cut-off, control-
ling the oil flow between the right and left travel
motors to be equal, to prevent travel deviation
and improve straight line stability.
When travel independent operation, a signal is
sent to the travel junction/ pump merge-divider
solenoid valve, separating the oil flow between
the right and left travel motors, to improve
steering stability.

Pump merge-divider function

When the travel control lever and work equipment control lever are operated, pump merge-divider func-
tion detects the pilot pressure and judges whether it is for travel/ work equipment compound operation
or for travel independent operation.
For travel independent operation, a signal is sent to the travel junction/ pump merge-divider solenoid
valve, dividing the pump delivery, to improve travel performance.

5. Potentiometer
6. Connector

Function
This dial is installed in the right console box.
Potentiometer (5) is installed inside knob (1).
Turning knob (1) causes potentiometer (5)
shaft to rotate.
This rotation changes the resistance of the
variable resistor within potentiometer (5), and a
throttle signal is sent to the controller.
The hatched areas in the graph are error
detection areas. If the throttle voltage is within
the area, the engine speed drops down to low
idle.

Function
This oil pressure switch is installed (8 places)
in the control valve. It detects the PPC oil pres-
sure when each actuator is operated, and
turns the switch "ON" when the pressure
exceeds the specified value.

Machine monitor 1
Outline
The machine monitor provides monitor display
function, mode selection function and switch
function of the electrical equipment etc. Also it
provides an alarm buzzer.
The machine monitor has a CPU (Central Pro-
cessing Unit) in it to process, display, and out-
put the information.
The machine monitor consists of display and
switches: the display is of LCD type, and the
switches are of flat sheet switch.
If an error occurs in the machine monitor itself,
controllers or wiring circuit between the moni-
tor and controllers, the monitor does not dis-
play properly.
10-700 34
Precautions on the machine monitor display
The LCD panel may have black points (points
which are not lighted) and bright points (points
which do not go off) for the reason of its char-
acteristics. If the number of the bright points
and black points does not exceed 10, it does
not indicate a failure or a defect.
When the engine is started, the battery voltage
may drop suddenly depending on ambient
temperatures and battery conditions. In this
case, the machine monitor may go off for a
moment. However, this phenomenon is not a
failure.
After the machine monitor is used continu-
ously, blue points (points which do not go off)
may be seen on the black background. This
phenomenon does not indicate a failure or a
defect.
Blue points can never be a problem as the
screen has usually blue or white background.
(White in the LCD is made up of red, green and
blue.)
