Clutch Cut Position Switch; Work Mode Switch - Hitachi ZW180 Operator's Manual

CLUTCH CUT POSITION SWITCH

By operating switch (2), the right and left brake pedal clutch
cut-off mode is selected as follows:
• S, N, or D Position (with clutch disengaged)
When either the right or left brake pedal is pressed, the
transmission is moved to neutral so that the braking force is
applied without transmitting driving force to tires.
S : The clutch is cut-off at a small stroke of the brake pedal.
(Suitable to loading operation on flat ground)
N : The clutch is cut-off at a medium stroke of the brake
pedal. (Suitable to operation on gentle slopes)
D : The clutch is cut-off at a large stroke of the brake pedal.
(Suitable to operation on steep slopes)
• OFF position (with clutch engaged)
When either right or left brake pedal is pressed, the braking
force is transmitted to tires without disconnecting the driv-
ing force.
NOTE: When starting to drive the machine on a slope, set the
clutch cut position switch to the OFF position (with
clutch engaged). While pressing the left brake pedal,
depress the accelerator pedal. Then, slowly release the
left brake pedal, so that the machine can easily start
moving on a slope.

WORK MODE SWITCH

Three work modes are selected by operating work mode selec-
tor (3).
L : Loading and/or light duty work with less fuel consump-
tion.
When swift movement of the front attachment is re-
quired more than traction force, apply this mode. Suit-
able to loading material such as gravel with less adhe-
siveness.
N : Normal loading work
When both swift movement of the front attachment
and traction force are required, apply this mode. Suit-
able to excavation and loading of soil product and/or
industrial waste.
P : Heavy duty work
When traction force is required more than swift move-
ment of the front attachment, apply this mode. Suit-
able to excavation of rude rocks and/or viscous soil.
