Small excavator daily driving skills

With the acceleration of infrastructure construction in recent years, small excavators are recognized by more and more people for their superior performance and suitable price. How much do you know about some precautions when driving some small excavators?

Before the small excavator is ready to drive, it is necessary to observe the surrounding environment to see if there are any large obstacles on the surrounding roads. For the people next to them, they need to be reminded in advance to stay away from the excavator to avoid injury.

During the driving process of the excavator, when encountering complex terrain, it is necessary to avoid exposed rocks and depressions, so as not to seriously damage the crawler of the excavator and affect the service life of the excavator.

The walking speed of the small excavator can be appropriately increased when driving on a flat road, but it must not be too fast. The characteristics of the excavator crawler are not suitable for high-speed driving, which will not only damage the road surface, but also greatly reduce the service life of the crawler! When the excavator is driving on a slope, shift to a low gear and pay more attention to obstacles such as rocks on the slope.

Determine the direction of the excavator’s route. The correct guide wheel direction is forward and the pedal is pushed forward. When the drive wheel is in this direction, the pedals should be in the pulling direction.

When the small excavator turns in a narrow area, try to find someone to help guide it. Pay special attention to the visual blind spot behind the excavator, and reserve a large safety area behind the excavator when turning to avoid unnecessary safety accidents.

When you’re ready, honk your horn a few times before you set off to make sure your surroundings are safe. Last but not least, don’t drive where there are danger zone signs. For example, when the excavator encounters the “water depth ahead” sign, the driver should try to avoid it, because in most cases, the underwater situation cannot be determined.
