2.1 PARKING BRAKE
The machine normally comes with a closed-type brake, which is an automatic brake device
using spring force when the excavator is parked on a slope.
When the machine is working, the brake valve on the travel motor will automatically be
released each time the travel foot pedal is activated to move forward or backward.

OPERATION
The operator must read the machine
manufacturer’s operation manual, and all warning and
control labels before attempting to operate the machine.
3.1 PRECAUTIONS BEFORE USING A NEW MACHINE
The service life of an excavator is largely dependent on the load condition of its initial use.
The operator should increase the load according to the following instructions before using a
new machine. The operator can set the load time by working hours on display, according to
the lubrication chart and maintenance instructions.
Overloading will cause scratches on the hydraulic motors, and during test runs it will affect the
service life of the machine.
During the Test:
