KX 161-3 Digital Control panel language change

[klansdell]

Hi Everyone,

I've picked up a second-hand excavator. Unfortunately, I don't know much about its history. I've noted that the digital display is in Japanese. Is there a way to change this to English, or would I need to replace the display module to achieve this?

Thanks in advance!

I don't know for sure, but I'd suggest that you start here and see if you can find where it is in the settings....

Green button on blade stick switches between fast and slow. Green light denotes you are in fast.

The KX 161-3 is not a grey market Excavator.
I'll move the thread.
You can get the OPM (operators manual) here:

on mine to switch between french/english, when machine is off, you hold down the display selector switch then turn the key to the run position (not to the start ).

lift finger off the display selector switch.

then press again and again the display switch until the right language choice pops up. Mine does
not give Japanese option though only french/engrish ??.

once the right language you wants shows on the disply press and HOLD the display switch until your choice is stored.

Thanks for the feedback and manual guys. I think I'm stuck with the japenese language. MapleLeafFarmer, I followed your advice and it looks like there are three languages to choose from, but all three are in hieroglyphics. It's not a huge deal as most of the important info is numerical anyways.

You can use a translator on a smartphone by holding the camera over the dash or by taking a picture of the dash.
