Hydraulic Filters
All hydraulic circuits have high-quality hydraulic filters for protection
against oil contamination and longer life of hydraulic components.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
Hitachi's ETS (Electronic Total control System) can achieve maximum
job efficiency by reducing fuel consumption and noise levels, while
maximizing productivity through the optimization of engine-pump
functions with excellent controllability increasing operator comfort.
E-P Control (Computer-aided Engine-Pump Control system)
Main pumps regulated by electric engine speed sensing control system.
OHS (Optimum Hydraulic System)
6 main pumps and 3 valves system enable both independent and
combined operations of all functions.
FPS (Fuel-saving Pump System)
FPS minimizes energy loss with superior performance in fine control.
Auto-idling system for saving fuel and reducing noise.
Hydraulic drive cooling-fan system for oil cooler.
Forced-lubrication and forced-cooling pump drive system.
Main pumps  6 variable-displacement, axial piston pumps
for front attachment, travel and swing
