The Machine's Functions - Husqvarna DXR140 Operator's Manual

The machine's functions

The machine's functions are operated by means of
interaction between the hydraulic system, the electric
system and the control system.
A brief description of the machine's functions follows
below.
Arm system
The arm system is divided into three parts in order to
provide extensive movement, a long reach and
compactness. Expanding shafts minimize the risk of play
in the joints.
Work as close to the work object as possible as this
makes optimum use of the power to the arm system and
cylinders.
By running cylinder 1 and cylinder 2 in parallel, the
machine's reach can be modified without moving the
machine.
Tower
The tower can be turned indefinitely which makes it
possible to work in several directions without having to
move the machine.
The machine is equipped with a slew brake. When the
rotating function is not activated, the function is braked by
means of passive brakes.
NOTICE! The machine's rotating function must not be
subject to overload, e.g. caused by tools that exceed the
weight limit.

PRESENTATION
Caterpillar tracks
The caterpillar tracks are driven individually by hydraulic
motors. The machine can be turned by operating the
caterpillar tracks at different speeds. Operating the tracks
in different directions enables the machine to make tight
manoeuvres. When the drive function is not activated the
passive brakes lock the drive motors.
In the transport mode you can control the caterpillar
tracks and the tower at the same time. This function is
useful when the machine is used in for example narrow
spaces.
Outriggers
The main function of the outriggers is to give the machine
stability. They must always be used when working with the
machine.
Tools
The machine should be fitted with tools that are
appropriate for the tasks that are to be carried out. The
weight and performance requirement of the tool is
decisive in ascertaining whether it is suitable for use with
the machine. Further information is available in the "Tools"
and "Technical data" chapters and the tool supplier's
instructions.
External tool (optional)
The machine has been prepared with connections for
external hand tools for the machine's hydraulic system.
