How to operate a small excavator

Small excavators are a relatively common type of engineering machinery, widely used in earthworks, railways, highways, mines, municipal engineering and other fields. Small excavators are mechanical equipment that are simple to operate, highly flexible and can adapt to a variety of terrains. Below, the editor will introduce the basic operation methods of small excavators in detail for your reference.

1. Preparation work

Before operating a small excavator, some preparation work should be done to ensure the safety and stability of the machinery. First check the various accessories of the small excavator to ensure that all parts are intact. Then look around to avoid dangerous objects or obstacles in the construction site. According to the construction conditions of the day, choose a suitable construction plan and construction method.

2. Operation skills

1. Start the small excavator: Check whether the oil level of the hydraulic oil and fuel is sufficient, then turn on the power switch and step on the pedal to start the engine of the small excavator.

2. Control the movement of the small excavator: Small excavators generally have basic movements such as forward, backward, and rotation. Pay attention to adjusting the throttle and steering wheel to control the movement of the excavator.

3. Excavation operation: It is very important to master the excavation operation of the small excavator. When digging, you should first determine the digging depth and digging angle, and adjust the bucket position according to the actual situation. When digging, pay attention to keeping the machine stable, gradually going deeper, and controlling the load size and speed.

4. Bucket operation: When the small excavator rotates, pay attention to controlling the speed and angle of rotation to maintain a certain balance and stability.

5. Stop operation: When stopping the small excavator, you should first turn off the power switch of the machine, tighten and turn the steering wheel to the middle direction, put the operating lever in the middle, and push the hydraulic control lever to the small position. , return the control lever to its position, put the bucket back to the point, and release its tools to complete the shutdown operation.

III. Precautions

1. When operating a small excavator, you must always keep a clear mind, pay attention to the operating methods and techniques, and monitor the working conditions of the equipment.

2. Pay attention to the terrain and conditions of the site to avoid being affected or causing safety hazards during operation.

3. During operation, you must understand and comply with the maintenance and repair specifications of the machine to ensure the long-term performance and safe operation of the machine.

According to the above article, understanding the basic operating methods of small excavators can better control the equipment and improve safety and efficiency. When using and operating a small excavator, beginners should pay attention to mastering the operating skills and strictly follow the operating procedures to ensure safety and stability during the construction process.
