The three-circuit Hydropilot system features electronic engine and

pump management to optimise hydraulic power for smooth hydraulic
action, fast response, simple system layout and a reduced number
of components. Filtration is at the oil intake to pumps, valve blocks,
heat exchangers and oil tank.

COOLING SYSTEM
The high capacity engine radiator is cooled by a mechanically driven
fan for superior cooling efficiency and requires little maintenance.
The hydraulic system includes two large swing-out vertical air-to-oil
hydraulic coolers with temperature-regulated hydraulically driven fan.
AUTOMATIC CENTRALISED
LUBRICATION
Two hydraulically powered Lincoln single line automatic lubrication
systems are provided as standard, complete with time and volume
variable controls. Activity and malfunction events are linked to the
ETM. The central lube grease system is supplied from a refillable
200 litre 53 gal. barrel. A second, identical system supplies open
gear lubricant to the swing ring teeth through a lube pinion.
Replenishment of the barrels is through the service arm.

MONITORING SYSTEM

CAB
The large welded steel safety cab incorporating the ISO 3449
FOPS structure is vibration isolated with 15 viscous combination
pads and sound insulated to 75 dB(A). It is equipped with
automatic climate control and is pressurised. The operators seat
is air suspended, electrically heated and has a lap seat belt.
There is an auxiliary seat.
Low effort joy stick controls are hydraulic with foot controls for
front shovel clam, crawler and swing brake.
Full instrumentation and ETM are provided. AM/FM radio is fitted.
Two windshield wash wipers are synchronised and have two speed
and intermittent operation.
2 heated rear view mirrors are externally fitted. External metal sun
louvres and internal pull down sun blinds. There is a left hand
sliding window. All windows are tinted parsol green.

The ETM electronic health monitoring system, mounted in the

operators console, continuously monitors the performance of the
engine, gearbox, autolube and hydraulic systems. Fault messages
are immediately available to the operator via a digital display and in
the event of critical malfunctions the engine is also shut down.
The digital storage provides failure summary and analysis, which
can be down loaded by laptop computer. This data will assist in
predicting or reducing downtime.
