In rainy days, the heavy rain may cause some
geological disasters such as landslide or debris flow. Therefore, we should
park the excavator in correct way to protect your safety and property.
Sometimes, the construction work has to
suspend due to the heavy rain. Then don’t park your excavator on the jobsite. Transfer
the excavator to a safe place. Generally speaking, the excavator needs to work
in a place for several days or even longer. As for the most common earthwork, operators
excavate the soil from a mountain. It is a very dangerous act to park the
excavator on the mountain, since the hillside has been loose and the formal
stress structure has been destroyed that is prone to collapse. Especially after
the erosion of water, the probability of collapsing has greatly increased. Park
the excavator under the tree is not a good choice, since it might be struck by
lightning or gale. Then where is a safe place? Choose a solid and firm road to
park, such as cement or pitch road.
The posture of placing an excavator also
has a knack. After consulting many experienced operators, the best posture is to
stretch the boom and let the bucket grovel on the ground. This posture can best
protect the hydraulic cylinder’s core pulling from rains or artificial damage. It
is also the best posture to change the hydraulic oil, which can recollect the
hydraulic oil to the hydraulic oil tank as much as possible.
Before you leave the heavy excavator, cut the
whole machine’s power supply to avoid the electric leakage. Even though, we can’t
avoid some natural disaster, but we can try to avoid the loss through our good
habits.
