Idling Caution
To prevent unnecessary
fuel consumption, an idling
caution is displayed on the
monitor, if the engine idles
for 5 minutes or more.
Working Modes Selectable
Two established work modes are further improved.
P mode
– Power or work priority mode has low fuel
consumption, but fast equipment speed and maximum
production and power are maintained.
E mode
– Economy or fuel priority mode further reduces fuel
consumption, but maintains the P-mode-like working
equipment speed for light duty work.
You can select Power or Economy modes using a one-touch
operation on the monitor panel depending on workloads.
Eco-gauge that Assists Energy-saving Operations
Equipped with the Eco-gauge that can be recognized at a
glance on the right of the multi-function color monitor for
environment-friendly energy-saving operations. Allows focus
on operation in the green range with reduced CO
2
emissions
and efficient fuel consumption.
