This excavator comes with a patented multi - synchronous hydraulic motor direct drive system for efficient operation. Its extendable and retractor pontoon system offers great flexibility. Each pontoon has 2 hermetically sealed bulkheads and service manholes for easy maintenance. The heavy - duty track chain system is laser - trimmed to high precision, and it has hardened rollers and bushings for a long operation life. The bolt - on sprocket system ensures perfect track pitch alignment, and its modular design makes transportation a breeze.
Using the Caterpillar 2019 Long Reach Pontoon Excavator is straightforward. First, make sure all the connections are secure, especially for the pontoons and the long reach. When starting, turn on the engine in the CAB and let it warm up for a few minutes. Use the controls to operate the bucket and the long reach for different tasks like cleaning waterways or building landscapes.
For safety, always check the working area for any obstacles or hazards. When working near water, be aware of the water depth and current. Don't overload the bucket beyond its capacity.
Maintenance is key to keeping the excavator in top shape. Regularly check the hydraulic fluid levels and replace the filters as recommended. Inspect the pontoons for any signs of damage, especially the bulkheads and the service manholes. Lubricate the track chain, rollers, and bushings frequently. If you notice any unusual noises or malfunctions, stop using the excavator immediately and have it checked by a professional.
