Excavation work:
When working with the retro excavator, you must respect the following safety
instructions:
•
It is prohibited to try and crush concrete or boulders with the bucket, using the adjustable
boom.
•
During excavation work, do not let the bucket fall.
•
Do not operate the cylinders to the stroke end. Operate with a small safety margin.
•
Do not move the retro excavator or dig the earth when the bucket teeth are stuck in the
ground.
•
When digging earth, do not bury the bucket too far into the ground. It is better to scrape
the surface whilst keeping the bucket almost flat, at a good distance from the frame of the
machine. This way of working will avoid putting too much pressure on the bucket.
•
After working in water, make sure the pins for the bucket and adjusting beam are
regreased, using the grease gun. Operate the pump until the old grease comes out of the
bearings.
•
It is strictly forbidden to use the retro excavator for lifting.
•
When the bucket is being emptied, adhering soil can be shaken off the bucket by moving
the bucket out to the maximum stroke of the cylinder. If this should not suffice, extend the
beam as far as possible, then operate the bucket back and forth.
•
When carrying out excavation work, make sure the blade is always lowered to the ground.
Note for the use of bigger and deeper buckets
3.4- Cleaning (to be done after each use)
Cleaning instructions:
The arm and track base can be cleaned with a large quantity of water without the risk of
damaging the retro excavator.
It is preferable to clean the machine with a sponge and water.
If the rollers are cleaned with a lot of water, the bearings must be regreased.
3.5-Handling the equipment
The machine accessories can be handled only when the machine is switched off, for safety
reasons.
