How To Operate The Machine

Operating The Machine

NOTE: Put the machine in the lowest traverse speed setting. Use the machine in an area that has no furniture or objects until you can do the following:

1.Move the machine in a straight direction, forward and backward.

2.Stop the machine safely.

3.Turn the machine both left and right and return to a straight direction.

To move the machine, follow this procedure:

1.Release the parking brake (if equipped with machine).

2.Turn the key switch to the "ON" position

3.Raise the brush to the highest setting.

4.Raise the squeegee.

5.When either the left or right forward/reverse switches (figure 21, item A) are pushed in, the machine will go forward.

6.Control the speed of traverse by using the traverse speed control knob (figure 21, Item C).

7.To stop, release the forward/reverse switch.

8.To reverse the machine, push in the white reverse switch (figure 21 item B) and either the right or left forward/ reverse switch (figure 21 item A) at the same time.

9.To stop, release the forward/reverse switch.

10.To turn the machine, push the rear of the machine to the side.

11.When you stop the machine, turn the key switch "OFF", remove the key and set the parking brake (if equipped).

How To Clean A Floor

WARNING: Water solutions or cleaning materials used with this type of machine can leave wet areas on the floor surfaces. These areas can cause a dangerous condition for the operator or other persons. Always put CAUTION signs near the area you are cleaning.

To clean a floor follow this procedure:

1.Set the parking brake (if equipped with machine.)

2.Put the water and a cleaning chemical in the clean solution tank.

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.
