What are the operational precautions for wheeled excavators?

Wheeled excavators are commonly used engineering machinery widely applied in earthmoving, construction projects, mining, and other fields. When operating a wheeled excavator, the following aspects require attention:

First, conduct a thorough inspection of the excavator’s functions and equipment condition before operation, including the hydraulic system, engine, braking system, and electronic control system, to ensure the equipment is in optimal working order.

Second, operators must familiarize themselves with the operation manual and understand the functions of each control lever and button to prevent accidents caused by misuse. Before starting, fasten the seatbelt to ensure personal safety.

During operation, pay attention to the surrounding environment, especially high-voltage lines, underground pipelines, and other obstacles, to avoid collisions and damage. Meanwhile, maintain clear communication with ground personnel to ensure coordination and prevent accidents.

When working on slopes or uneven terrain, adjust the machine’s center of gravity to prevent tipping. Operate at slow speeds, control movement carefully, and avoid abrupt actions to maintain the excavator’s stability.
