Getting on the excavator
•
Move the left control console (2) up as far as possible by
pulling the control lever lock (1) up.
The control console must remain in this position
until the engine is started, as the engine can only
be started in this position.
•
Get on the excavator by using the crawler as a step.
•
Sit down on the operator's seat.
Adjusting the operator's seat
Adjust the operator's seat so that fatigue-free and comfortable working is possible. It should be
possible to operate all controls safely.
Horizontal seat adjustment (seat stand-off)
Pull the horizontal seat adjustment lever (5) up and move the
seat to the desired position by moving it forward or back, then
release the lever.
Check that the seat is locked into place.
Spring adjustment (operator's weight)
•
The seat can be set to the weight of the operator with the adjustment grip (figure above, position 4). A
weight indicator (figure above, position 3) is provided as an adjustment aid.
•
Turning the grip clockwise increases spring tension (heavier operator), turning the grip anticlockwise re-
duces spring tension (lighter operator).
•
Adjust the seat so that a comfortable cushioning is achieved.
Seat height adjustment (knee height)
•
The seat height is adjusted with the rotary knob (figure above, position 2). The seat height depends on the
set number (0, I, II, III), position 0 being the lowest position. Adjust the seat height in relation to its horizon-
tal position so that the foot controls can be operated safely.
