Small excavators are used in many places and will work in many different ground environments. What should I do if I encounter a ground that is deep in mud? When the small excavator is working in the mud, the action should be gentle, and the machine should not shake violently to prevent rapid sinking. At this point we can use our arms to drag the car away and support the car a little so that we can directly access the arms and avoid crushing the hard shell above the mud shell.


When you find that the chain is halfway, you must exit in time. Always pay attention around the chain, the excavator chain is unbalanced, you can't use power, don't idle, once it's idling, it's likely to roll.


Do not push the bucket into the mud pit, especially the mud that is difficult to lift. If the excavator gets water on a hard bottom ramp, the entire boom will slide down. Working near water, the working surface of the mini excavator is above the mud, almost at the level of the water. Try not to have the work surface below the water level, or it will be easier to dig.


Don't push the bucket into mud that's particularly hard to lift, if the mini excavator has water on a hard bottom ramp the whole arm will slide down, when working on the water's edge its working surface is above the mud, It is about the height of the water surface. At this time, try not to make the working surface lower than the water surface, otherwise it will be more and more digging.


In the case that the chain is completely trapped, if the fuselage can still save itself in the mud layer, keep a calm mind and don't panic. We can also try to pull the machine out of the mud below and try to Pull forward, if you feel the car is moving down at this time, you should stop the operation immediately and wait patiently for rescue. You can also thicken the steel plate, iron plate and wooden plate under the chain belt. Generally speaking, use hard things to pad the surface so that the machine can use force to climb out.


When working near the water, the working surface of the small excavator is above the mud and at the same height as the water surface. We try to make the working surface higher than the water surface to prevent the digging from getting worse. If the chain belt is completely sunken, If the fuselage is still on the mud surface and can keep turning, it means that it can save itself. At this time, you must be calm and don’t panic. You can try to pull out the mud under the car, and then slowly pull it forward. If it sinks, don't operate it anymore, just wait for rescue.
