Experienced driver shares - technical operation of excavator uphill and downhill

01 When driving down a steep slope, use the travel lever and throttle lever to maintain a low driving speed. When driving up or down a slope of more than 15 degrees, the dipper and the boom should maintain an angle of 90 to 110 degrees, the back of the bucket should be 20 to 30 cm from the ground, and the engine speed should be reduced.

02 If you need to brake when going downhill, put the travel lever in the middle position so that the brake will automatically work.

03 When driving uphill, if the track shoe slips, in addition to relying on the driving force of the track shoe to drive uphill, the pulling force of the dipper should also be used to help the machine go uphill.

04 If the excavator engine stalls when going uphill, move the travel lever to the middle position, lower the bucket to the ground, stop the machine, and then start the engine.

05 If the excavator engine stalls on a slope, it is forbidden to perform a slewing operation to prevent the upper structure from rotating under its own weight.

06 If the machine is parked on a slope, do not open the cab door, as this may cause a sudden change in operating force. The cab door should always be closed.

07 When walking on a slope, do not change the walking direction, otherwise it will cause the machine to tip over or slide. If you must change the walking direction on a slope, you should operate on a gentler and more solid slope.

08 Avoid crossing the slope, as this may cause the machine to slide.

09 When working on a slope, do not swing, as this may cause the machine to tip over or slide due to loss of balance. Swing and operate the boom carefully at low speed.
