COOLING SYSTEM The high capacity engine radiators are cooled by hydraulically driven fans for superior cooling efficiency and require little maintenance. The hydraulic system includes four large swing-out vertical air-to-oil hydraulic coolers with temperature-regulated hydraulically driven fans.

The Electronic Control System (ECS) digital diagnostic system, mounted in the operators console, provides a text display of realtime and stored information about the operating systems of the machine. Non-serious and critical faults are immediately announced, and for major malfunctions the engines are also shut down. The integrated digital storage provides full event history, which can be downloaded with a laptop computer. The ability to electronically record service events provides precise service information to assist in reducing downtime.
