Auto-Idle - Hitachi EX 3600-6 Operator's Manual

AUTO-IDLE

When auto-idle switch (1) is turned ON, approximately 4
seconds later after the control levers are returned to neutral,
engine speed will be decreased to the auto-idle speed
automatically to save the fuel consumption at no operation.
If the control levers are operated, engine speed will return
to the speed depending on the engine speed control dial
(2) position immediately.
WARNING:
•
Always check if auto-idle indicator (3) is turned
on or off before starting operation. If the indi-
cator is on, the auto-idle function will be acti-
vated.
•
Always be aware of the engine speed control
dial (2) position when auto-idle switch (1) is
turned on. If the engine speed control dial (2) is
in the fast idle position, and if the operator is
not aware of that, the engine speed will unex-
pectedly increase when any control lever is
operated, causing unexpected machine
movement, thus possibly resulting in serious
personal injury.
•
Prevent the machine from unexpected move-
ment. Be sure to turn auto-idle switch (1) off
when unexpected machine movement is unde-
sirable.
Note that auto-idle function can be turned on or off only
when the key switch is in ON position. Always check if the
auto-idle function is turned on or off with auto-idle indicator
(3).
Auto-Idle Function ON :
Auto-Idle Function OFF : Auto-Idle Indicator (3) OFF
• In order to deactivate the auto-idle function, simply
press auto-idle switch (1) when auto-idle indicator (3)
is turned on. Auto-idle indicator (3) will go off.
NOTE: When the engine speed set by the engine
speed control dial (2) is lower than that of the
auto-idle level, auto-idle circuit will not work
even if auto-idle indicator (3) is turned ON.
