Guys, is it possible to change the power curve of the pump on the EW180C? It goes from almost not operable on 1320rpm to beast mode on 1450rpm. It 's one click on the rotary switch. The mha on the pump solenoid goes from 350 to 80. Any idea if the Volvo Vocom would let me adjust the curve?

Go past F mode into G or H. In F mode (those 3 throttle positions) it's considered Fine control. If you're in F the pump displacement is reduced giving you more torque for fine control with maximum breakout force. If you step the throttle up to the G range, you'll see you'll have less breakout but more speed. See if that helps. Also make sure you're in digging mode vs travel. That makes a difference as well.
