3T Excavator
View Transcript
Hello everyone and welcome back to our excavator series and in today’s video
we’re going to go over a full cabin
walkthrough of our 3 Tonne excavator that we
offer here at the WHC Hire. Let us run
you through absolutely everything so you
can familiarize yourself with the
machine
so you get the absolute most out of your
hire. To start with we need to get
ourselves into the machine. To start with
we need to open the door and ensure it’s
secured safely and then we can use three
points of contact to enter the machine.
Now safely in the machine, let’s get you
familiarized with your surroundings. The
left pilot control controls the arm of
the machine. Pushing forward will extend
the arm further away from the machine
pulling back we’ll bring it closer.
You can also rotate the machine on its
current position by choosing either nine
o’clock or three o’clock on the clock
face on the left-hand pilot control.
Additionally on this pilot control
we’ve got our auxiliary button to
operate the auxiliary attachment if we
have one. And moving over to the right
hand side we’ve got our right pilot
control. This controls the boom of the
machine we pull back the boom comes
closer to the machine and we push away
it extends the boom further away. The
right-hand pilot also controls the
bucket as well.
Crowding the bucket we move the joystick
to the nine o’clock position
and that will crowd the bucket of the
machine. And then we’re ready to uncrowd
or unload the bucket
we choose three o’clock. Additionally on
this control we’ve got our horn that can
be accessed by pushing the horn button. From
here, you’ve got them right in front of
you, you’ve got your track controls which
control your tracks underneath you. Below
that you’ve got your track foot pedals
so if you’re tracking over a long
distances you can use these instead of
using your hands.To the right of your
tracking peddles you’ve got your slew
pedal which allows you to change the
position of the boom to assist you in
your operation. This pedal also has a
second feature which operates any
auxiliary attached to the machine and
this can be done by pressing the
auxiliary button found on the left hand
pilot control. To the right of your track
controls you’ve got your key code
ignition and hydraulics control.
Coming further back towards your right
hand pilot control we’ve got our dozer
blade. Now this dozer blade operates two
features of the machine, the dozer
obviously,
we push downwards it lowers the dozer,
and we pull back
it lifts the dozer off the ground. On a
dozer blade lever you’ll see that there
is a button which allows you to change
the speed at which you transport the
machine in.
Push it once it will immediately go into
fast track mode, speeding the machine up
we’ll push it again it will slow us down
so that we can control the machine far
more delicately.
Going back from that ,just under your
right-hand wrist rest for your pilot
control we’ve got our heads-up display.
This heads-ups display shows us all our
warning lights as well as our revs our
fuel and also the hours of the machine.
To the right of that, we’ve got our
throttle where we can change the revs of
the machine depending on what we’re
doing.
And just a bit lower than the heads up
display we’ve got our ignition. Now
moving back over to left-hand pilot
control, underneath the wrist rest, we’ve
got our operational buttons. We’ve got
our beacon lights, we’ve got our
headlights for when we’re working in low
light situations, our windscreen wiper
and finally we’ve got our lift warning
buzzer deactivator with our 12 volt
outlet. And finally, before we jump out
the machine, is our excavator operators
features and in this machine comes with
a built-in heater which can be found and
operated just under the left hand side
of the operator’s seat.
And there you go guys there are the
operational features and a full cabin
walkthrough to help you familiarize
yourself with a 3 Tonne excavator.
Hopefully, this video will help you
troubleshoot most problems that you’ll
come across using this machine but if
