31 Dec , 2025

I. Operating Precautions

  1. Pre-Operation Checks

    • Inspect fuel, hydraulic oil, and coolant levels before starting.
    • Ensure all safety guards (e.g., rollover protection structure) are intact.
    • Check tire pressure or track tension for stability.

  2. Safe Operating Practices

    • Wear protective gear (hard hat, gloves, safety glasses).
    • Maintain clear communication with ground personnel using hand signals.
    • Avoid operating on slopes exceeding 30°; use low gears for steep terrain.
    • Keep bystanders at least 10 meters away during operation.
  3. Environmental Considerations

    • Do not operate near unstable cliffs or waterlogged areas.
    • Turn off the engine when not in use to reduce emissions.

II. After-Sales Service

  1. Regular Maintenance Schedule

    • Daily‌: Clean debris from tracks/blades; check hydraulic leaks.
    • Weekly‌: Lubricate pivot points; inspect air filters.
    • Monthly‌: Test emergency brakes; replace worn blade edges.
  2. Professional Support

    • Contact the manufacturer’s service center for annual inspections.
    • Keep a log of maintenance dates and technician notes.
  3. Warranty Coverage

    • Report defects within 12 months for free parts replacement.
    • Extended warranties available for major components (e.g., engine).

III. Common Faults & Solutions

  1. Engine Failure to Start

    • Cause: Dead battery or clogged fuel filter.
    • Solution: Jump-start the battery; replace the fuel filter if dirty.
  2. Blade Control Issues

    • Cause: Hydraulic fluid contamination or worn seals.
    • Solution: Drain and refill hydraulic oil; replace seals if leaking.

  3. Track Slippage

    • Cause: Loose track tension or damaged sprockets.
    • Solution: Adjust track tensioners; inspect sprockets for wear.

  4. Overheating

    • Cause: Low coolant or blocked radiator.
    • Solution: Refill coolant; clean radiator fins with compressed air.

IV. Emergency Protocols
