Breaker Operation & Decompression Mini Digger (1.5T Excavator)
1.5T Excavator (Kubota KX19-4)
View Transcript
Hello and welcome back to our excavator series
and in today’s episode, we’re going to
look at the correct operation of using
one of our Breakers attached to our mini
Digger the KX19-4. During this video
we’re going to go over the correct
pressurizing sequence, how to use a
breaker, and how to depressurize the machine as well.
To get started, we just
need to jump ourselves firstly into the
machine.
To start with we need to enter the machine
using three points of contact.
Once into your seat
We’re going to move the key to position one
and we’re going to drop the left armrest.
From here what we’re going to try and do
is to make sure there’s no pressure in the machine
so when we connect the breaker, we don’t
find ourselves any issues. To do so we
need to push the auxiliary button which
is down on the dashboard and then we
need to rock the toggle switch which is
on the right pilot control. Once we’ve
doe that few times the machine now is
ready to be connected up to the breaker.
Simply exit the machine
and from here, we’re going to connect up
our hoses to the excavator.
Now the hoses should be wrapped up
together
and they’re inserted into these
auxiliaries which you’ll find on the arm
of the machine
simply lift them up and pop them in on
both sides.
Now once these are both attached we
can get ourselves back into the
excavator and get it running.
Jumping back into the machine now is
we’re going to use the machine.
We need to make sure that we put our
seat belt on.
Now we’re ready to start the excavator
as we normally would.
now the machine is running
let’s drop our left arm armrest
pick our auxiliary button to engage the
use of the breaker
to operate the breaker once it is in the
working position we use the auxiliary
toggle which is on the right-hand pilot
control.
Now at any point you need to exit the excavator for any
reason, as soon as you lift up
the left arm armrest it disengages the
auxiliary.
So when you return back to the machine
to continue breaking, you need to lower
your armrest and once again push the
auxiliary button found on the control
panel.
Once you finish with the attachment
simply lie down safely on its back on
the ground.
We’re at this point now maybe you’re
looking to change attachment and you
need to depressurize the actual
breaker itself. So to do so we need to
follow this procedure. We can key off the
machine.
Lift up our left arm armrest.
Key on again to position one.
We’ll drop our left arm armrest
and again we’ll push the auxiliary
button.
But this time with the machine
Actually not turned on we’re going to
depressurize it by simply rocking
that toggle switch again
to release all of the pressure out of
the circuits. When rocking the toggle
switch we’re depressurizing the hoses
you’ll see them flex notifying you that
the pressure in the hoses has been
released.
From here we can jump out the machine.
And from here we can simply detach the
hoses. One common issue we find is when
customers try to detach the breaker
hoses and have come into problems after
depressurizing the machine correctly is
generally because the safety
catches have been turned during
operation and cannot be lifted to detach
the hose. Ensure the catches are in this
position and can be lifted
simply towards the bubble that can be
found on the auxiliary hose outline on the
machine. It’s best practice to wrap the
hoses up so when in transport or where
if we’re putting this attachment away
none of the hoses will get snagged or
damaged.
And there you go guys, that is the
correct depressurizing and pressurizing
procedure for a breaker on one of our
mini diggers. If you follow these simple
steps you’ll have no problems when
operating this attachment on this
machine. Thank you ever so much for
joining me today on this tutorial video
hopefully, it’s been useful but if you’re
having still having any problems, please
feel free to get in contact with your
local depot who will be more than happy
to help you walk you through the
procedure. Thank you ever so much again
and we look forward to seeing you on the
next video take care, and bye bye for now
