How to run an Excavator for Beginners. What you Need to know to get started Pt. 1/2
What happens here
The host explains that excavators can have different control patterns: SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) and ISO (International Organization for Standardization). He uses the analogy of driving a stick shift car in different countries to illustrate how changing patterns can lead to confusion and potential accidents. He advises new operators to stick with one pattern and become proficient. Danny recommends starting with the ISO pattern because it is a globally recognized and widely used standard. He then demonstrates how to switch between SAE and ISO patterns using a lever located under a cover near the cab entrance. This lever allows you to select your desired control pattern.
Goal: Learn about different control patterns and how to switch them for safe operation.
