Safety Information
Operating heavy machinery requires strict adherence to safety protocols.

Never operate the excavator under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Familiarize yourself with all controls and emergency procedures before starting work.
Product Overview
The HUAYEE HY12C is a compact 1.2-ton mini excavator designed for various tasks in confined spaces. It is powered by a 13.5HP gasoline engine and features a hydraulic thumb for versatile material handling.
Its small footprint allows it to maneuver in backyards, urban renovation projects, and residential areas where larger equipment cannot enter. The machine is designed to fit through standard gates and doorways.
Setup
Upon delivery, the machine will be transported to your location and offloaded. No additional logistics arrangements are required from the buyer. Before initial operation, perform the following checks:
- Inspect all hydraulic lines and connections for leaks or damage.
- Check engine oil, hydraulic fluid, and fuel levels.
- Ensure all safety guards and covers are in place and secured.
- Verify that the rubber tracks are properly tensioned.
Operating Instructions
The HY12C mini excavator features intuitive controls for precise operation. The right-side joystick controls the boom's upward and downward movement, as well as bucket loading and unloading. The left-side joystick controls the second boom's movement and the machine's swing. A separate lever controls the dozer blade for raising and lowering.
The hydraulic thumb allows the operator to grasp, lift, and sort materials like rocks, branches, and debris without needing to change attachments. This enhances efficiency for site cleanup, landscaping, and material sorting tasks.
