Hydraulics
Low effort and precise control for highly effi cient performance
Outstanding Performance
With two percent more hydraulic pressure for additional lift 
and breakout forces, the 311D LRR hydraulic system is designed 
for high effi ciency and performance. Auxiliary hydraulic and 
electrical lines are routed to the boom foot making installation 
of hydraulic circuits much easier. This compact design utilizes 
short tubes and lines, reducing friction and pressure drops, 
resulting in a more effi cient use of power.
• Hydraulic snubbers at the rod end of the boom cylinders and
both ends of the stick cylinders cushion shock, reduce sound 
and increase cylinder life.
• Flow is reduced to a minimum when controls are in neutral
to reduce fuel consumption and extend component life.
• Electronic Under Speed Control electronically adjusts pump
output to not exceed engine power, preventing the need to 
reserve engine power to avoid engine stalls.
Boom and Stick Regeneration Circuit
The boom and stick regeneration circuit saves energy during 
boom-down and stick-in operation, increasing effi ciency 
and lowering operating costs.
Easy Operation
Work mode and power mode switches have been eliminated 
making full power available at all times. Operators do not need 
to learn different modes. An automatic boom and swing priority 
function automatically selects the best mode based on joystick 
movement.
