Small household excavators are becoming more and more popular among household users because of their small size and flexible operation.They are suitable for a variety of scenarios such as gardening,earthwork,infrastructure construction,etc.To ensure the safe and efficient use of small excavators,the following are some important guidelines for use.
1.Preparation before use
Understand the equipment
Before using a small excavator,read the user manual carefully to understand the various components of the equipment and their functions.Master the basic functions such as the operating interface,control levers,throttle,brakes,etc.
Inspect the equipment
Before each use,conduct a comprehensive equipment inspection,including:
Whether the oil(such as engine oil,hydraulic oil,fuel)is sufficient.
Whether the various connecting parts(such as buckets,booms)are tight.
Whether the tires or tracks are in good condition.
Whether there is oil leakage in the hydraulic system.
Choose a suitable work site
Make sure the work site is flat and dry,and avoid working on muddy or unstable ground.Clear obstacles in the work area to ensure safety.
Wear safety equipment
When operating an excavator,be sure to wear a hard hat,goggles,gloves and non-slip shoes to ensure your own safety.
2.Basic operation steps
Start the excavator
Make sure all control levers are in the neutral position,step on the brake,and start the engine.After the engine runs stably,check the dashboard to ensure that all indicators are normal.
Master the control lever
Small excavators are usually equipped with two control levers,which are used to control the movement of the bucket and the arm respectively.Familiarize yourself with the functions of each control lever:
The left control lever is usually used to control the lifting and tilting of the bucket.
The right control lever is used to control the movement of the excavator and the extension and retraction of the arm.
Perform excavation work
Lower the bucket to the ground and slowly move forward to the working position.Use the control lever to adjust the angle and depth of the bucket to dig.
When digging,maintain a stable posture and avoid sudden movements to prevent the equipment from getting out of control.
Carrying earthwork
After the excavation is completed,adjust the bucket position and move the earthwork to the designated location.Pay attention to controlling the tilt angle of the bucket to prevent the earthwork from falling.
Backfilling earthwork
After the excavation is completed,if backfilling earthwork is required,use the bucket to backfill the earthwork evenly to ensure that the ground is flat.
3.Operating skills
Maintain balance
During operation,keep the center of gravity stable and avoid excessive tilting.Especially when working uphill or downhill,pay more attention to maintaining balance.
Control speed
When moving and digging,maintain an appropriate speed and avoid sudden acceleration or braking to ensure safety.
Pay attention to the surrounding environment
Always pay attention to the surrounding environment to avoid collisions with people and objects.Especially when working in a small space,be more careful.
Regular maintenance
After use,the excavator should be maintained regularly,including cleaning,lubrication and inspection of each component to ensure the long-term stable operation of the equipment.
4.Safety precautions
Avoid overloading
Do not overload the excavator,and operate strictly in accordance with the rated load of the equipment to avoid damage to the equipment.
Avoid working in bad weather
Try to avoid using the excavator in rainy,snowy or windy weather to prevent slipping or loss of control of the equipment.
Follow local regulations
When performing earthworks,make sure to understand and follow local laws and regulations,and apply for relevant permits when necessary.
5.Summary
A small domestic excavator is an efficient tool that can help home users complete various earthworks.By understanding the equipment,making adequate preparations,mastering basic operating skills,and following safety precautions,you can effectively improve work efficiency and ensure safety.During use,maintaining regular maintenance and inspection of the equipment will extend its service life and improve work results.
