Accessory Compatibility and Notes

In the use of small excavators, you should choose the right accessories, so as to improve the performance and working efficiency of the equipment. Especially for the multi-series of excavators (such as 80 series, 90 series and extended models, etc.) produced by Hwaryang Machinery, you generally need to consider the following important oriented aspects when choosing the accessories.

1. Model matching

The accessories for each type of mini excavator must match the parameters of the equipment model. For example, in the 80 series of excavators of Huayang Machinery, HY-08/09 models are equipped with a small bucket of 0.02m³, while HY-20 models can support a large bucket of 0.08m³ to 0.1m³. Although the HY-80 can also carry a 450mm bucket, its digging power is average and not recommended.

When purchasing a bucket, hammer or other working device, it is important to understand the core parameters of the equipment, such as bucket capacity, digging force and hydraulic system pressure, to ensure that the parts can operate properly and avoid equipment efficiency loss or damage due to non-compliance with the specifications.

2. Hydraulic System Adaptation

Compatibility of hydraulic accessories is one of the key factors in selecting an accessory. The pressure range of the hydraulic system directly affects the operating efficiency and stability of the accessories. For example, the hydraulic system pressure of HY-30 excavator in HAY-YANG 90 series reaches 23.5MPa, while the hydraulic pressure of HY-15 is only 16.5MPa. If you choose the hydraulic accessories that do not match the pressure range (e.g. hydraulic breaker hammer or hydraulic timber grabber), it may lead to the malfunctioning of the equipment or even the damage of the hydraulic system. Therefore, before purchasing hydraulic accessories, you can consult our sales staff to select the appropriate model for your excavator.

3. Dimensional and interface compatibility

The mounting interface of conventional accessories also needs to be perfectly matched to the connecting parts of the excavator. For example, the size of the mounting interface and the fixing method, such as the diameter of the pins and the distance between the holes, may vary from one model of excavator to another. However, Hwa Yang Machinery has upgraded this aspect, and all of our models support the installation of accessories on all models!

In addition, for users who have a high demand for replacement accessories, it is best to purchase an accessory that supports a quick-conversion interface to enhance work efficiency.

4. engine and powertrain compatibility

Different models of excavators are equipped with different engine power and power output capacity, it is recommended to choose the accessories reasonably according to the excavator's engine power and hydraulic pump performance, such as the HY-17 excavator of Hwaryang Machinery has an engine power of 28-30HP, while the 80-08 model is only 12HP. If the optional accessories (such as drilling rigs or heavy-duty hydraulic grabs) have too high a requirement for the power output, it may cause engine overload or reduced equipment performance.

5. Choice of Genuine and Non-Genuine Parts

Hwa Yang Machinery provides original spare parts, which can ensure the high compatibility between the spare parts and the equipment and increase its service life. The non-original spare parts in the market, although relatively inexpensive, may differ from the original standard in terms of material, processing precision and design.

In the daily use of a mini excavator, improper use or maintenance may result in increased wear and decreased efficiency of the accessories. Therefore, the following are some maintenance recommendations for mini excavator accessories to prolong the life of the accessories and ensure safe operation:

Daily inspection and maintenance of spare parts

Regular inspection of accessory connections: Before using any accessory (e.g., bucket, breaker hammer, looseners, etc.), be sure to inspect the pins and locking pins connected to the excavator for looseness or wear. A loose pin will not only affect the accuracy of the accessory, but may also cause the accessory to fall off.

Lubrication and maintenance: The moving parts of an excavator need to be lubricated on a regular basis, especially those parts that are often subjected to high levels of stress (e.g., breaker hammers, wood grabbers). Choose a suitable lubricant and lubricate according to the recommendations in the equipment manual.

Cleaning of fittings surfaces and interfaces: After the construction work is finished, clean the fittings of any dirt, debris or other impurities in a timely manner, especially at the interfaces, in order to avoid the entry of dust and impurities into the hydraulic system.

Correct operation and use

Choose the right accessories for the job: Different job requirements require the right accessories. For example, when digging in hard soil or rock, use a breaker hammer rather than a bucket to avoid damage to the bucket. At the same time, avoid overloading the excavator by choosing the right accessories for the model and horsepower of the excavator.

Avoid overloading: For example, the accessories for the 80 series of excavators (e.g. model HY-20) from Hwa Yang Machinery have a clear working range. Accessories with a bucket capacity of 0.08m³-0.1m³ are suitable for lighter earthwork. If they are used in excessively hard ground conditions, they may cause deformation of the accessory or damage to the hydraulic system.

Increase Operational Efficiency with Quick Adapters: Quick adapters can assist in quickly switching accessories, but be sure to lock them in place after installation and avoid running the excavator without fully locking it in place.

Inspection and protection of the hydraulic system

Monitor hydraulic system pressure: Most small excavator accessories rely on hydraulic drive, such as the breaker hammer, hydraulic wood grabber, and so on. When using these accessories, make sure that the hydraulic system pressure is within the safe range (e.g., the hydraulic pressure range of Hwa Yang Machinery 90 series excavators is 14-23.5MPa).

Prevent hydraulic fluid contamination: Contamination of the hydraulic fluid may cause system blockage, which in turn may affect the normal operation of the accessory. Therefore, when replacing or connecting the hydraulic interface of an accessory, make sure that the interface is clean and free of contamination.

Safe Operating Procedures

SKILLED OPERATING TECHNIQUES: Only trained operators are permitted to use the excavator and accessories. Prior to operation, the operator should familiarize himself with the performance of the equipment and the requirements for the use of accessories, such asHY-12 small excavatorClimbing capacity is 40°, so be careful when using the accessory on steep slopes.

Stay out of hazardous areas: When using accessories (e.g., hammers), ensure that people around you keep a safe distance from the excavator to avoid injury from flying debris or loss of control of the machine.

Avoid long periods of continuous operation: Prolonged use of high-strength accessories (e.g., hammers) may cause the equipment to overheat, so it is important to stop the machine and take a break to check the condition of the accessories.

Regular professional maintenance

Evaluation of accessory wear: Regularly check the wear of accessories (e.g., diggers, wood grabbers) and replace worn parts, such as digger tooth tips or cutting edges, as necessary. For equipment with high-strength manganese steel components, such as the Model HY-18, care should be taken to evaluate the material, even if it is durable.

Hydraulic oil change and filtration: It is recommended to change the hydraulic oil every 500 hours of operation, clean the oil tank and replace the filter to ensure the stability of the hydraulic system and the efficient operation of the accessories.

Emergency Handling

Stop the machine immediately for abnormal conditions: If the accessories have abnormal noise, jamming, or leakage of the hydraulic interface during operation, stop the operation immediately and check the cause to avoid the expansion of the fault.

Preparation of spare parts: In order to minimize downtime due to damage of spare parts, it is recommended to keep a set of commonly used parts (e.g. spare bucket, hydraulic hose).

With the above maintenance tips, you can not only extend the service life of mini excavator parts, but also greatly improve the construction efficiency and operational safety.
