Abstract
A work machine includes: control valves that control flows of a hydraulic operating oil supplied to actuators; operation lever devices that generate hydraulic signals to be output to the corresponding control valves according to an operation; solenoid proportional valves that reduce pressure of the hydraulic signals generated by the corresponding operation lever devices; and a front implement control section that controls the solenoid proportional valves. The work machine further includes: operation signal lines connected to the operation lever devices; signal input lines connected to the control valves; pressure reducing lines provided with the solenoid proportional valves; and selector valves that have a first position that interrupts connection of the operation signal lines and the pressure reducing lines and directly connects the operation signal lines to the signal input lines, and a second position that connects the operation signal lines to the signal input lines via the pressure reducing lines.
