Small excavators are a common type of engineering machinery, widely used in construction, agriculture, mining and other fields. Before using a small excavator, you need to understand how to start and ignite correctly. Here are the steps for starting and igniting a small excavator:

Check the machine

Before starting the excavator, you need to check whether the machine is in normal condition. First, check whether the oil level, water temperature and battery power of the machine are sufficient. Secondly, check whether the various parts of the machine are tight, such as the wheel hub, crawler, cab, etc. Finally, check whether the hydraulic system of the machine is working properly.

Adjust the seat

Before starting the excavator, you need to adjust the position and angle of the seat. The seat should be adjusted to a position that suits you so that you can operate each control lever easily.

Turn on the power

Insert the key into the keyhole and turn the key to the right to turn on the power. After turning on the power, you can hear the alarm sound on the dashboard.

Step on the pedal

Put your foot on the pedal, press the brake pedal, and step on the accelerator pedal to the bottom. At this time, the engine will start automatically and the sound of the engine can be heard.

Release the brake pedal

After you hear the engine start sound, you can release the brake pedal and slowly release the accelerator pedal. At this time, the engine will automatically enter the idle state.

Adjust the throttle

After the engine enters the idle state, you can gradually adjust the throttle to reach the appropriate speed. At this time, you can hear the engine sound become more stable.

Check the dashboard

After starting the excavator, you need to check whether the various indicator lights and pointers on the dashboard are normal. In particular, indicators such as engine water temperature, oil pressure, and battery power need special attention.

In short, before starting a small excavator, you need to check whether the various parts of the machine are working properly and follow the correct steps. Only by starting and igniting correctly can the normal operation and safe operation of the excavator be guaranteed.
