  • Publication number: 20070261277
    Abstract: A work machine is provided having a starter motor for starting a prime mover, which without provision of any special hydraulic equipment, allows for draining pressure oil that still remains in a hydraulic actuator for driving a front attachment. The work machine is provided with a boom cylinder for driving a front attachment, a flow rate control valve for controlling a flow of pressure oil to be supplied to the boom cylinder, and a pilot valve for producing an output of a pilot control signal, which serves to switch the flow rate control valve, by using, as a primary pressure, pressure oil delivered from a pilot hydraulic pump driven by an engine. A fuel stop switch is provided for performing stop control on a supply of fuel, which drives the engine, and a switch is provided for maintaining drivable a starter motor, which starts the engine, responsive to the stop control of the supply of fuel to the engine by the fuel stop switch.
