Komatsu — METHOD OF USING MODE SELECTOR SWITCHES

SETTING OF SELECTED MODES The selected modes are automatically set by setting the basic mode, but after the basic mode is selected, it is possible to change the selected mode (2) as desired. Power mode Working mode Selection of power mode Effect Heavy-duty operation mode H-S Reduction in fuel consumption H-S Increase in speed General, finishing operation mode S-L Reduction in fuel consumption Lifting operation mode S-L Increase in speed Auto-deceleration If the auto-deceleration is always actuated, it improves fuel consumption, so we recommend that it always be used.

However, if the control levers are operated in small movements, the engine speed changes greatly, so it is better to carry out such operations with the auto-deceleration canceled. - 48 -
