■ More ProductivityProductive hydraulics and outstandingmultifunction operation are a Hitachi tradition.Multiple sensors instantly feed automaticmicro-adjustments for increased hydraulicpower to maintain steady, sure movements.■ More Comfortable CabAlready considered by many operators tobe the best-in-class cab, Hitachi ups theante with a wider door with more glass,better visibility out back, additional mirrors,enhanced seat, improved multifunction/multilingual monitor, and more.■ More Efficient EngineIsuzu’s engines employ a cooled exhaustgas-recirculation(EGR) platform pairedwith a diesel particulate filter (DPF) to meetEPA IT4/EU Stage IIIB emissions regulations.These easy-to-maintain engines requireno special additional fluids — just ultra-lowsulfurdiesel fuel and CJ-4 engine oil.3

MORE MOVEDWITH LESS EFFORTHitachi gives you more.Like their highly respected predecessors, theZX Dash-5 Excavators deliver the same smoothresponsiveness and multifunction capabilitythat operators have come to expect in a Hitachi.The HIOS III hydraulic system is the brainbehind the brawn, perfectly balancing engineperformance with hydraulic fl ow. It combinesa hydraulic-boost system with an enhancedboom-recirculation function to generate moreaggressive boom/arm speed. Since the armreturns to the dig position faster, you can movemore dirt in a day.Perhaps best of all, our excavators provide bigproductivity without sacrifi cing control, givingoperators the fi nesse they need for fi nish gradingand placing pipe.Three work modes allow an operator to choose adigging style that fi ts the job. High Productivity(HP) delivers more power and faster hydraulicresponse. Power (P) delivers a balance of power,speed, and fuel economy for normal operation.And Economy (E) maximizes fuel effi ciency whiledelivering an enhanced level of productivity.Need even more? You can also choose from awide variety of track widths, arm lengths, bucketsizes and teeth, high-fl ow auxiliary hydraulicpackages, and other options.■ Short-throw, low-effort controls,unmatched metering, and smoothmultifunction operation provide finesseand precision when they’re needed.■ Generous flow, arm force, and swingtorque help speed cycles and keep youon schedule.■ When the digging gets tough, just pressthe power-boost button to muscle through.5

MORE COMFORT,MORE OPTIONSHitachi gives you more.6Perched on silicone-fi lled mounts, the ZX Dash-5 cabisolates the operator from noise and vibration. The roomiercab has a larger door for easier access, more door glassfor better side visibility, and more side-to-side foot room.Narrow front cab posts, large overhead glass, and numerousmirrors, including one on the counterweight, provide excellentall-around visibility. The low rear-hood profi le makes iteasier to check for activity behind the cab as well.The new, more comfortable mechanical-suspension highbackfabric seat is available in a heated, air-suspensionversion. Low-effort joysticks, a highly effi cient HVAC system,and plenty of storage space also keep the comfort levelhigh. The new multifunction monitor provides enhanceddiagnostic features, integrates the radio and HVAC controls,and displays the action behind you from the optional rearviewcamera.To improve productivity and uptime, the Machine InformationCenter (MIC) captures vital machine performanceand utilization data. This information is accessible via theLCD monitor as well as the Internet by accessing ZXLinkUltimate — the proprietary telematic remote-monitoring/fl eet-management system that comes standard with everyZX Dash-5.It’s all about command, control, and comfort —and nobody does it better than Hitachi.■ Multi-language LCD monitorand rotary dial provide intuitiveaccess to a wealth of info andfunctions. Just turn and tap toselect work modes, monitormaintenance intervals, checkdiagnostic codes, set cabtemperature, and make simpleattachment hydraulic-flowadjustments, plus more.

■ Automatic, high-velocitybi-level climate-control systemwith automotive-style adjustablelouvers helps keep the glassclear, the cab comfortable,and the operator productive.■ Ergonomically correctshort-throw pilot levers providesmooth, precise fingertip controlwith less movement or effort.Pushbuttons in the right leverallow fingertip control of auxiliaryhydraulic flow for operatingattachments.■ Lights, camera, action!Optional cab-mounted lights,an additional boom-mountedlight, and rearview camerahelp show the way, regardlessof when or where you work.7

MORE DURABILITY,GREATER FUEL EFFICIENCYHitachi gives you more.The ZX Dash-5 Series is everything you like about Hitachi, and more. Extendedframes house the enhanced cooling components and IT4/Stage IIIB Isuzu dieselengines. Undercarriage rollers on the two larger models are even more durable.But not everything is new. Proven features such as digging structures and hydraulic,electrical, and undercarriage components continue to deliver long-term reliability.Welded bulkheads within the boom resist torsional stress for unsurpassed durability.Booms, arms, and mainframes are so tough, they’re warranted for three years or10,000 hours, whichever comes fi rst.Tungsten-carbide-coated wear surfaces protect the all-important bucket-to-armjoint. Reinforced resin thrust plates, grooved bushings, and thermal-coated bucketjoints increase arm- and boom-lube intervals to 500 hours. Oil-impregnated HNbushings enhance durability and extend grease intervals to 500 hours for the armand-boomjoint, 100 hours for the bucket joint.DurableUndercarriage■ Box-section track frames,thick-plate single-sheet mainframe,and large swing bearingdeliver rock-solid durability.■ With large idlers, rollers, andstrutted links, the sealed andlubricated undercarriage deliverslong and reliable performance.■ Reinforced D-channel sideframes provide maximum caband component protection.Efficient Cooling■ Highly efficient, heavy-dutycooling system keeps thingscool, even in the toughestenvironments.8

Auto-idle automatically reduces engine speed when hydraulicsaren’t in use. Auto-shutdown further preserves fuel.And speaking of fuel savings, the new IT4 Isuzu enginesdeliver the same fuel-effi cient and reliable performancecustomers have enjoyed with the previous Hitachi series— without compromising productivity.■ Isuzu Interim Tier 4 diesel engine ispowerful, reliable, and efficient.Fuel pressure, timing, and volume are precisely regulatedby electronic control for effi cient combustion with Isuzu’scommon-rail fuel-injection system. The addition of a dieselparticulate fi lter (DPF) and a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC)reduce particulate and NOx. An isochronous-controlledelectronic governor maintains a constant speed, despitechanges in engine load, reducing fuel consumption andnoise in no-load and light-duty operations.Fewer emissions, impressive fuelefficiency — that’s the ZX Dash-5 Series.9
