Auto-Idle - Hitachi ZAXIS 30U-5N Operator's Manual

Auto-Idle

Auto-Idle Function
With the auto-idle function turned to the ON position,
approximately 4 seconds after all control levers are returned
to neutral, the engine speed decreases to the auto-idle
setting to save fuel consumption.
The engine speed will immediately increase to the speed
set by the engine control dial when the engine control
dial is operated with the pilot control shut-off lever pulled,
or when either the control lever or engine control dial is
operated with the pilot control shut-off lever pushed down.

WARNING:
 Prevent the machine from unexpected movement.
Be sure to turn the auto-idle function to the OFF
position when unexpected machine movement is
undesirable, especially when loading/unloading the
machine for transportation.
 The engine speed will increase to the speed set by
the engine control dial when any control lever is
operated from the neutral position while auto-idle
display (1) indicates "ON". If the operator is not aware
of the high engine speed setting, the engine speed
will unexpectedly increase when any control lever is
operated, causing unexpected machine movement,
thus possibly resulting in serious personal injury.
IMPORTANT: Always check if auto-idle indicator (1) is ON
or OFF before starting operation. If the indicator is ON,
the auto-idle function will be activated.
f
NOTE: Use the auto-idle function only after warm-up
operation is complete. Failure to do so may not reduce the
engine speed.
