The soft/hard mode allows the operator to select the
response of the hydraulic circuits, soft being controlled and
hard being fierce when de-selecting boom and dipper
functions. Soft mode is the default setting when starting the
machine.
To change to hard mode the operator must select the
option by pressing cushion switch on the facia switch
panel. Cushion solenoid output ECU o/p 28 (C-25) is
energised.
The hard mode is cancelled either by turning the ignition
off, or by pressing the cushion switch for a second time.
