John Deere 240D LC Compact Excavator User Manual


 
Electronically controlled variable-geometry turbo-
charger (VGT) improves torque response, helping
match engine speed to load requirements.
Noise levels — and operator fatigue — have been
signifi cantly reduced. Variable-speed fan, dual-pass
muffl er, pilot-injected PowerTech Plus
engine, and
isochronous high-idle speed help quiet things down.
Cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), four-valve-
per-cylinder head, and high-pressure common-
rail fuel system enable the 6.8-L diesels to meet
Tier 3 emission standards without sacrifi cing
power or fuel effi ciency.
Additional hydraulic capability a necessity? Two
factory-installed high-pressure, high-fl ow auxiliary
hydraulic packages enable you to meet the need.
Choose from a variety of track widths, arm lengths,
buckets, and other options.
1. Powerwise
III perfectly balances engine
performance and hydraulic fl ow for fast,
smooth, and predictable operation. One
work mode makes it easy to be productive
in any application.
2. Signifi cant increases in horsepower,
weight, dig force, and drawbar pull make
the D-Series highly productive machines
for a wide variety of work.
3. Increased fl ow, arm force, and swing
torque help speed cycles, enabling you to
load more trucks or open more trench.
4. For work that requires extra fi nesse, the
D-Series’ best-in-class metering and
smooth multifunction operation give you
the precise control you need.
