12.OPERATION 12.10 HANDLING ACTIVE MODE Make full use of the active mode to match the purpose and conditions of the opeeration in order to carry out operations effectively and efficiently. The active mode selector switch can be turned ON (lights up) in order to provide quick levelling operations and effective deep digging and load- ing operations. ON lights up: Active mode ON ON goes out: Active mode cancelled The ON lamp is off when the engine is started. If it is turned ON (lights up), it is possible to enter the active mode from any working mode. Even when it is turned ON (lights up), the working mode display does not change.
When the lamp goes out, the system returns to the original working mode. NOTICE There is danger that the hydraulic equipment may be broken if breaker operations are carried out in the active mode, so never use the active mode for breaker operations. REMARK Use the active mode with the fuel control dial turned to the MAX posi- tion. If it is not at the MAX position, it will be impossible to achieve a suitable increase in the work equipment speed. The active mode includes a load detection function. If a heavy load is applied, the engine speed will drop 100 - 200 rpm to inform the op- erator that there is a heavy load, but the work equipment power will not drop.
(In the active mode or when travelling, the load detection function is actuated.) Active power function When finishing ground quickly with heavy loads or digging deep and loading, use the active power-up function according to the following procedures. PC130/150LGP-6K ENG 2-67 Mode Effective operation Advantages for operation Active mode Digging and loading The boom lowering speed is increased, so the cycle time for deep digging operations is reduced. Levelling By increasing the arm IN speed and the pomp response, the speed of rough levelling (light loads) is increased.
