7.1. E.C.S.S-electronics Special equipment and attachments 7.1. E.C.S.S-electronics Always read this section before installing and operating the E.C.S.S-electronics as safe as possible. 7.1.1. Structure and functioning principle of the E.C.S.S-electronics The E.C.S.S-electronics uses the hydraulic spring effect of the hydraulic accumulator installed to the circuit at the lift cylinder base end to absorb the vibration of the chassis when the machine is travelling. This enables the machine to travel smoothly at high speed. The E.C.S.S-electronics consists of the E.C.S.S-electronics switch, hydraulic accumulator and solenoid valves.
When the travel damper switch is turned ON, the solenoid valves open, the circuit at the lift cylinder base end is connected with the hydraulic accumulator. 7.1.2. Precautionary measures for switching on the E.C.S.S-electronics If the E.C.S.S. system is switched on during a journey, or when the working attachment is in raised position, it may move up or down depending upon the bucket load. For this reason, extreme caution is advised when operating the switch. When inspecting and servicing the machine, E.C.S.S. lower the work equipment to the ground then turn the E.C.S.S-electronics switch OFF before beginning to service. NOTE The E.C.S.S.
system is activated when the transmission is shifted in 2nd gear and the machine is traveling at a speed higher than 5 km/h. 7-2 WA90-5 – VEAM270100 WARNING WARNING
