Installation & Operation Notes
Upon delivery, the excavator ships as a single crated unit (405×100×225 cm, 1504 kg) requiring a forklift or crane for unloading. Start-up checks: verify engine oil, hydraulic fluid levels, and track tension per manual. The EPA engine is factory‑configured for standard diesel; confirm fuel specification with supplier for high‑altitude or extreme‑temperature environments.
Attachments mount via a quick hitch, and the auxiliary hydraulic circuit supports a thumb, grapple, or auger without additional kits. A machinery test report and video outgoing‑inspection are provided with each order, enabling remote pre‑delivery approval.
Applications

The primary target areas include small‑scale agriculture (digging irrigation trenches, orchard preparation), landscaping, light demolition, and utility work in tight urban environments. Its crawler tracks and low ground pressure make it suitable for soft soil conditions typical of farms and undeveloped plots. The ability to switch between four bucket capacities and multiple attachments within minutes extends its utility across seasons.
