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.
