When the gauge is in orange range (B), the load is heavy. When the gauge enters the orange range, there is no abnormality on the machine, but to protect the environment, reduce the engine output to a point where there is no adverse effect on the operation. Generally, carry out energy-saving operations in the green range. Reducing the frequency of travel also helps to save energy. Consider the best way of saving energy.

Idle Stop Guidance If the levers are not operated for more than five minutes, and the engine is idling, the idling stop message is displayed on the monitor. When waiting for work or stopping work for a short periods, stop the engine to reduce unnecessary fuel consumption. The idling stop message screen returns to the standard screen when any lever is operated again or when function switch F5 (Back) is pressed. 2-24 PC200LC-8
