7) It allows using arm and bucket to impel or level off rideau, but never operate side of bucket to work by
slewing force.
8) When working at swampy ground (especially on rainy day), the excavator must be kept at a proper
distance away from working face to prevent collapse.
9) After stopping machine, shut off all switches of control panel, shut off electric power and lock cab.
10) During digging work, avoid overload work to reduce energy consumption and hydraulic oil temperature.
11) During digging work, pay attention to the cylinder stroke end, avoid using baffle of boom, arm, and
bucket to prolong the lifetime of framework.
12) If the productivity can satisfy the working demand, in order to prolong engine lifetime and keep low
noise running, try your best not to run at maximum accelerator, the best revs of engine should be
1600-1800 r/min.
