(2) Usage Notes
- Before starting the small excavation machine, check that the bucket and boom connections are secure and hydraulic lines are leak-free. Avoid operating with faults.
- Observe the surrounding environment during operation. Especially near residential areas or high-voltage lines, control the working radius and never use the bucket to lift people.
- For long-distance transfers, use a trailer. Do not drive at high speed for a long time to prevent excessive wear on tracks or tires.
(3) Winter Maintenance Tips
- Hydraulic device preheating: When hydraulic oil temperature is low, rapid operation may damage the hydraulic device. Preheat step by step: ① Run the engine at medium speed and operate the bucket for preheating; ② Lift the machine to rotate the tracks, preheating left and right travel motors separately; ③ Set the engine to maximum speed and let the bucket and arm work continuously for 5 minutes. Pay full attention to surrounding safety during preheating. In low temperatures, human reactions are slower, so avoid hitting people or objects nearby.
- Engine preheating: After getting on the machine, start the engine and let it run at low speed for 5 minutes. During preheating, check: ① Whether the oil warning light is off; ② Any oil or water leakage; ③ Whether the engine sound and exhaust color are normal; ④ Whether the charging indicator is off; ⑤ Any abnormalities in all parts of the machine.
- Inactive maintenance: If the small excavator is not used in winter, it should be properly stored and maintained to ensure optimal performance when reused. Specific measures: ① Clean the dirt on the surface and check for loose fasteners; ② Check the coolant level, engine oil level, and quality, and confirm the fuel’s antifreeze level.
