HSS (Hydrostatic Steering System) No 1
• The Hydrostatic Steering system (HSS) is
powered by an independent hydraulic pump
with engine power transmitted to both tracks
without power interruption.
When the machine turns,the outside track
moves faster and inside slower.
Clutch & Brake
Clutch & Brake model turn by deactivating the
clutch on one side.
Effective applications
1. Dozing while turning:
As fast as dozing in a straight line.
2. Leveling:
Leaves minimum tracks on soft ground.
3. Side cutting:
Easy to hold a straight line.
4. Work on steep slopes:
Machine moves in direction that lever is pushed.

The advantage of the hydraulic driven fan

1. Reduced loss of horse power (When ambient temperature is low)

2. Reversing of fan can be easily done (easier to clean radiator)
3. Serviceability is improved (No need to change fan belt)

For cold weather condition (The fan rotates in reverse.)

When cleaning the radiator fins, reverse the rotation

of the fan and change the direction of the air flow,
Set the fan selector switch to the CLN position and
start the engine.
The fan rotates at 100 rpm speed in reverse and
cleans the fins.

The fan selector switch cannot be

operated when the engine is running

• Preset Travel Speed Selection Function
– Three preset patterns: F1-R1, F1-R2, F2-R2
– Moving joystick forward/rearward selects speed automatically
– Reduces cycle time & fatigue

• Auto-shift Down Function

– Controller monitors engine speed, travel gear, travel speed
– When load applied & speed reduced, automatically shifts down to
optimum gear speed to achieve more effective fuel consumption
– Comfortable operation and highly efficient production

The auto-shift down function does not work when the brake pedal is used.
