Hydraulic Excavator Operator Controls
- Ground Vehicle Standard

- Revised

Scope
This standard covers mobile hydraulic excavator controls and the specific arrangement and direction of motion for the primary controls.
This standard applies to mobile hydraulic excavators as described in ISO 7135—Earthmoving machinery—Hydraulic excavators—Terminology and commercial specifications, and ISO 6165—Earthmoving machinery—Basic types—Vocabulary.
Rationale
SAE J1177 has been upgraded from a Recommended Practice to a Standard due to its long standing position and acceptance in the earthmoving industry. It has been reformatted to the latest SAE criteria, references have been updated throughout the document and Figure 1 has been redrawn to include the use of ISO symbols. Figure 3 has been redrawn to show the more common and industry accepted foot pedal configuration for travel controls although the mode of operation remains unchanged. In paragraph 5.3 the direction of movement of the functions has been changed from “as specified by the manufacturer” to “idlers to the front and sprockets to the rear for crawler mounted machines and primary steering axle to the front for wheel mounted machines” which is the industry accepted definition.

Issuing Committee
MTC SC5 is responsible for standards related to hydraulic excavators, as defined by ISO 6165. A hydraulic excavator is a self-propelled machine on crawlers, wheels, or legs, having an upper structure normally capable of a 360-degree swing with mounted equipment (primarily for excavating with a bucket) without moving the undercarriage during the work cycle.

* Redlines comparisons are available for those standards
listed in the Revision History that contain a radio button. A
redline comparison of the current version against a revision is
accomplished by selecting the radio button next to the standard and
then selecting 'compare'. At this time, Redline versions only exist
for some AMS standards. SAE will continue to add redline versioning
with ongoing updates to SAE MOBILUS.
