hey there.
i thought it might be a good idea to list the location of hand pattern control changers in a central location. i have been helping a large construction company part time because my business is slow and they have a gazillion pieces of equipment. getting off one machine and on another has become awkward due to the various hand patterns of each machine. i would really like to know where to find the hand pattern control changer on komatsu excavators sized pc200 and above???
cat 420d: standing at rear, behind the left rear tire and inner fender/frame wall. uses a 13 or 15 mm wrench to loosen safety lock.
cat 320c and other excavators: standing at rear, operators side, cab side, left, back door. inside and down to left. loosen a safety bolt with a 13 or 14 mm socket to turn valve.
new volvo ec48 r mini excavator: behind right hand elbow as if sitting in seat, on back dash panel, behind plastic cover. uses a wingnut to loosen safety lock.
takeuchi mini excavators, under floor mat.
kubota mini excavators, usually a small up and down stubby lever on panel below right knee as if sitting in seat.
