  • Page 7 1-1. Mounted on the rotary table are the regular full-swing type hydraulic excavators, main components of drive system, swing mechanism and auxiliary devices, which are referred to as upper rotary. Therefore, a Carter 1.2T excavator is divided into work equipment, upper rotary and traveling mechanism.
  • Page 8 Section II Work principle of excavators Diesel engine changes the chemical energy of diesel into mechanical energy that is then altered with hydraulic gear pump to hydraulic energy that is distributed to each actuating element (such as hydraulic cylinder, swing motor and traveling motor). After that, each actuating element transform the hydraulic energy back to mechanical energy, driving the work equipment and running the complete machine.

    3.1 Slewing support Carter 1.2T excavator has its rotary table supported with a rolling bearing, realizing the swinging of upper rotary. 3.2 Rotary drive Carter 1.2T excavator adopts the direct drive type. Namely, the output shaft of low-speed high-torque hydraulic motor is mounted with a driving pinion which meshes with the slewing gear ring.
  • Page 10 4.3 Bucket 4.3.1 Basic requirements The longitudinal profile of bucket meets the law of motion of various materials inside of bucket, facilitating the material flow and minimizing the loading resistance and thus fulfilling the bucket. Bucket teeth are mounted to increase the linear specific pressure of bucket onto material, with unit cutting resistance relatively low and easing to cut in and break soil.

    Chapter III Service Technologies of Carter 1.2T Excavators Being of high temperature and pressure, the Carter 1.2T excavator could have the hydraulic oil temperature as high as 85℃, the engine silencer temperature as high as 700℃ and pressure as high as 18MPa. Therefore, the operators should be specially trained to obtain the proper certificates and to be familiar with the contents in this manual before the operations.
  • Page 17 When hydraulic oil is less than 25℃, it is needed to preheat the machine before any work; otherwise machine may not respond or react very quickly, leading to severe accident. Therefore it is needed to preheat machine if it is cold: ①.
  • Page 18 2.2 Basic excavation 2.2.1 Before excavation, the arm cylinder should have angle with the arm as 90°, bucket with ground to be excavated as 30°. Only in such case, can each cylinder have the max. excavating force. It is suitable for relatively hard soil, so as to decrease the excavating resistance.
  • Page 19: Section Iv Operational Precautions

    Section IV Operational Precautions Prohibitions and precautions for hydraulic excavators Avoid the landsliding and the stone falling. Avoid any striking of work equipment. Avoid the bucket from colliding with other vehicle body, the loaded bucket crossing over other vehicle cab or persons.
