1. Excavator purchase selection

The failure rate, durability, and operating cost (fuel consumption, maintenance cycle) of small excavators often determine the final profit amount. Therefore, choosing a durable excavator is very important for good operation. As we all know, the combination of engines, pumps, valves, etc. of Deli small excavators is the best, which can achieve fuel saving, economy, efficiency and durability during use. Choosing Kobelco will definitely make a steady profit.

2. Operation skills

First, for medium and long-term projects, do not easily contract earthwork projects. You can't predict what is under the soil; if someone asks you to dig one foot in, you may have to toss for a day.

Second, for short-term projects, you can choose to pay by time, by earthwork, or by completing a certain amount of work according to the situation. Talk about it in advance to avoid wrangling afterwards.

Third, when it comes to odd jobs in rural areas, the profit of machines operating in the countryside is even higher than that of urban operations. Ordinary people rarely owe wages, and they only ask you to work when they have money. Working in an ordinary family may bring you work for a village. It is necessary to give others some benefits. Perhaps a few hundred yuan of information fee will bring you tens of thousands of yuan of profit.

Fourth, it is necessary to equip the machine with a breaker hammer when working in mountainous areas. Some work such as digging house foundations cannot be done without a hammer, which will have its own advantages.

3. Safety of excavators

Since the main customer groups of small excavators are in municipal and rural areas, the operation is short and the mobility is strong, so it is best to bring your own trailer, which is convenient and fast:

First, the trailer cannot be too high, otherwise it is easy to rub the wires. The power grid lines in the countryside will not be pulled very high.

Second, the brakes must be air brakes, preferably with water spray. If you brake downhill for a long time, the brakes are easy to soften. Accidents in which the car and the people roll down the cliff are mostly caused by oil brakes.

Third, it is recommended to cut off the air brake when parking. If the air brake is not cut off, when getting on and off the small excavator, the wheels must be placed with stones. It is not enough for someone to step on the brakes. The experience of sliding the excavator and the trailer together is quite scary.

Fourth, if you often run on mountain roads, the wheelbase of the car cannot be too long, otherwise it will be very difficult to go up the curve. The small Jiefang trailer is the best. The chassis of the small Cummins is too soft. The wheelbase of JAC is too long (for reference only).

The choice of trailer should be judged according to the local geographical conditions.

4. Management of excavators

The choice of operators: will largely determine the reputation of your work and the life of the machine. Don't go to a newly graduated apprentice or an operator who doesn't care about the machine to mess with your car in order to save a few hundred dollars a month. If the work is not done well, the people will not call you for the first time; if the machine is wiped, it will not be as simple as a few hundred dollars. Don't be arrogant in front of the operator, and don't be stingy with the operator. When the operator is emotional, he will be reckless. Of course, the best operator is actually the boss himself, provided that you have time and energy. The daily operation and maintenance of the excavator operator has a very important impact on the service life of the excavator and the local reputation of the owner.

5. Maintenance of excavators

Every morning, it is necessary to fill the whole vehicle with butter, drain the oil tank sump, drain the oil-water separator, check the engine oil, check the coolant, etc. The premature wear of the machine's fuel system (oil pump, oil nozzle) is mostly caused by improper daily maintenance by the operator; blow the air filter and radiator more often when you have time; the machine's maintenance cycle must be completed on time and in quantity. If the working environment is harsh (long-term breaker operation, dusty environment), the maintenance cycle needs to be shortened. If the machine is well maintained, it is actually very easy to have the engine not overhauled for 10,000 hours and the pump and valve not leaking oil. It is necessary for the operator to take off his shoes when getting on the car. On the one hand, a dirty cab can easily cause the air conditioning filter (hundreds) to be blocked, and dusty air circulation is very harmful to the body.
