1. Use gravity and inertia

Downhill excavation: During the excavation process, if possible, try to let the bucket drop naturally along the ground, which can reduce the load of the engine and improve efficiency.

Use inertia: After the bucket is filled, inertia can be used to help lift the bucket and reduce the pressure on the hydraulic system.

2. Reduce the turning Angle

Minimize turning: Minimize turning angles, which not only saves time, but also reduces energy consumption. Try to stack the material near the excavator to reduce the rotation distance during each loading.

3. Plan the work path properly

Optimize movement routes: Plan your route in advance to minimize unnecessary movement, such as multiple trips to and from the same location.

Avoid duplication of work: Ensure that each shovel completes the excavation task as much as possible to reduce the number of repeated excavations.

4. Operate gently

Smooth operation: Avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration, which can reduce the impact on the machine and extend the service life.

Progressive operation: In the operation process, try to adopt a gradual way, such as gradually increasing the digging force of the bucket to avoid sudden force.

5. Use AIDS

Laser level: Use a laser level or other measuring tool to ensure the flatness of the ground and improve the construction accuracy.

GPS positioning system: Some modern excavators are equipped with GPS positioning system, which can precisely control the depth and location of the dig.

6. Maintenance and maintenance

Regular inspection: Regular inspection and maintenance of the excavator, including replacing the filter element, checking the quality of hydraulic oil and lubricating oil, and tightening screws.

Cleaning and maintenance: Keep the machine clean, especially the radiator and cab, which helps the machine to dissipate heat and extend the service life.

7. Safety awareness

Be familiar with the operation manual: have a thorough understanding of the provisions of the operation manual, especially the safe operation procedures.

Look around: Always be aware of your surroundings and people, especially when backing up or moving.
