Hydraulic Filters
All hydraulic circuits have high-quality hydraulic filters for protection against oil contamination and longer life of hydraulic components.

CONTROLS
2 Implement Levers
Remote-controlled joystick hydraulic servo system. Right lever is for boom and bucket control, left lever for swing and arm control. For loading shovel, 2 pedals provided for opening/closing the bottom dump bucket.
2 Travel Levers with Pedals
Remote-controlled hydraulic servo system. Independent drive at each track allows counter-rotation of tracks.

UPPERSTRUCTURE
Revolving Frame
A deep, full-reinforced box section. Heavy-gauge steel plates used for ruggedness.
Deck Machinery
Maintenance accessibility is the major feature in the layout of deck machinery. Sidewalks provide easy access to engines, hydraulic and electrical components.

Swing Mechanism
2 high-torque, axial-piston motors with planetary reduction gear bathed in oil. Swing circle is single-row, shear-type ball bearing with induction-hardened internal gear. Internal gear and pinion gear immersed in lubricant. Swing parking brake is spring-set, hydraulic-released disc type.
| Swing speed | 5.8 min-1 (rpm) |
Operator's Cab
Steel construction with integrated, falling-object-protective structure meeting SAE FOPS. Independent, pressurized, 1 100 mm (3'7") wide, 1 900 mm(6'3") high, roomy 3.46 m3 (4.53 d3) cab with tinted-glass windows features all-round visibility. Spring-suspension-type, fully-adjustable reclining seat with armrests; movable with or without front and swing control levers by slide. Instrument and control panel is built in cab wall is in easy range of the operator. Powerful fresh air ventilation type air conditioner. Cool-and-hot box and rotatable blower louvers also serve as defrosters. Thus, rapid air-conditioning can be achieved for operator comfort. Fluid-filled elastic-mounting and sound-proofing structure to reduce noise level and vibration.
| Noise level | 78 dB(A) in the cab; on max. engine speed under no-load condition. |
UNDERCARRIAGE
Tracks
Tractor-type undercarriage. Bolt linkage for side frame assures durability. Heavy-duty track frame of all-welded, stress-relieved structure. Top-grade materials used for toughness. Lifetime-lubricated induction-hardened track rollers, idlers and sprockets with floating seals. Track shoes of cast steel with double grousers. Double strut reinforced track links with track guards. Hydraulic (grease) track adjusters with shock absorbing recoil springs.
Tractor-type Undercarriage
Double grouser track shoes of induction-hardened cast steel.
| Shoe width | 710 mm (28") standard 900 mm (35") optional for Backhoe attachment only |
