2. The ________ measures the DPD pressure
on each side of the DPF.
3. Where is the engine controller located?
4. Where is the machine controller (Controller A
and B) located?
5. During Manual Regeneration, what two
proportional solenoids get energized to apply
a hydraulic load on the engine to keep the
engine at optimum operating temperature?
6. What can be done if the machine controllers
fail and you need to move the machine to a
safe place?
7. Where is the Main Relief valve located on all
of the CX_C large excavators?
8. How can the flow for (P1) and (P2) pumps
flow oil quantities independently from one
another?
9. What switches on the monitor can be
pressed to lock the swing motor?
10. How many work modes do the CX_C large
excavators have?
