Machine Control Panel

Key Switch (See Figure 3, Item "A")

The key switch turns "ON" the power to the control panel. "O" is "OFF" and "I" is "ON".

Forward Reverse Switch (See Figure 3, Item "B") The forward/reverse switch turns the traverse motor "on" forward and if the brush motors are in the down position, activates the brush motors/solution control module. There is a two second delay for the pad motor to stop after releasing the switch. Either the right or the left switch can be used. Use either switch in conjunction with the white reverse switch to reverse the traverse motor.

.

Battery Meter (See Figure 3, Item "C")

The battery meter indicates the relative charge on the battery pack. Do not continue to run the machine when the needle is in the "red" area. This will shorten the life of the battery pack.

Brush Pressure Meter (See Figure 3, Item "D") The brush pressure meter indicates the relative amount of pressure the brushes are putting on the floor. To maximize run time on a battery charge, keep the needle towards the center of the green area.

Reverse Switch (See Figure 3, Item "E")

The reverse switch, when used in conjunction with one of the forward/reverse switches, causes the machine to reverse directions. The reverse speed is 70% of the forward speed.

Hour Meter (Not Illustrated) (Option)

The hour meter indicates the number of hours the machine has operated. It runs only when the brush motor is on.

CircuitBreakers(SeeFig3,Items"F","G","H","I"&"J") The circuit breaker reset buttons are located on the rear cover. The breakers are located as follows:

Item F - Actuator Head (5 amp) Item G - Vacuum Motor (30 amp) Item H& I - Brush Motor (25 amp) Item J - Traverse Motor (25 amp)

If a circuit breaker trips, determine which motor is not operating and turn the key switch "OFF". Wait five minutes and push the reset button back in. Turn the key switch "ON" and try again. An authorized service person should be contacted if the breaker trips again.

Control Handles (See Figure 3, Item "K") The control handles are located at the rear of the machine. They are used to guide the machine.

Solution Control Knob (See Figure 3, Item "L") The solution control knob regulates the flow of chemi- cal solution to the floor. To increase the flow, turn knob clockwise. To decrease the flow, turn counter clockwise. Full counter clockwise is OFF and full clockwise is ON.

Traverse Speed Knob (See Figure 3, Item "M") To increase speed, turn knob clockwise.

Brush Motor Switch (See Figure 3, Item "N")

To activate brush motor, push brush position switch to down position. Brush Motor and solution flow will activate when the traverse buttons are pushed. To shut brush motor off, hold brush position switch in up position until actuator stops.

Vacuum Motor Switch (See Figures 4 & 5, pg. 11) To activate vacuum motor, lower squeegee handle. Handle has two positions. Lowest position is operating position and the middle position is transport to clear vacuum hose.

L26 specifications

The Clarke L26 stands as a notable entry in the realm of compact excavators, reflecting advanced engineering and user-centric design. This machine is designed for a variety of applications, including landscaping, utility work, and smaller construction projects.

One of the main features of the Clarke L26 is its compact size, which allows it to maneuver easily through tight spaces and urban environments. This machine has an overall width of approximately 2.6 meters, making it suitable for projects that require a mini excavator that can fit through narrow gaps and access constrained job sites.

Powered by a robust and efficient diesel engine, the L26 delivers optimal performance without compromising on fuel efficiency. The engine is designed to meet stringent emissions standards while providing ample torque for digging and lifting tasks. The hydraulic system of the L26 is another standout characteristic, featuring sophisticated components that ensure smooth operation and responsiveness during various digging and lifting operations.

The L26 also incorporates advanced technology that enhances operator comfort and productivity. Its spacious cab features ergonomic controls, providing operators with a user-friendly interface. The visibility from the cab is optimized to reduce blind spots, enabling the operator to work safely and efficiently. Additionally, the climate control system in the cab ensures a comfortable working environment, regardless of external weather conditions.

Safety features are paramount in the design of the Clarke L26. It comes equipped with a rollover protective structure (ROPS) and a falling-object protective structure (FOPS), which provide peace of mind to operators working in hazardous conditions. The machine's low center of gravity enhances stability, especially when working on uneven terrain.

In terms of versatility, the Clarke L26 can be outfitted with various attachments such as buckets, augers, and hydraulic breakers, allowing it to tackle a multitude of tasks beyond traditional excavation. The quick coupler system enables easy switching between attachments, significantly reducing downtime during operations.

Overall, the Clarke L26 can be described as a well-rounded mini excavator that combines power, efficiency, and versatility. Its design is aimed at meeting the demands of modern construction and landscaping projects, making it a valuable asset for contractors and operators alike. Whether it's for digging trenches, landscaping gardens, or performing utility work, the L26 proves to be a competent machine that delivers reliable performance.
