OPERATION GUIDE
Read this manual before using the excavator. Take care within the first 100 hours. FOR NEW EXCAVATORS: Excavators have a 100-hour run-in period designed to enhance their performance and extend service life. During this period, new excavator s should be operated according to the following three steps.
Hours Within 10 hours Within 100 hours After 100 hours
Load About 60% About 80%
100%
DAILY CHECKS: · Engine cooling system for leaks or damage · Tyres and tyre pressure / Track Tension · Any loose or damaged parts · Safety decals & labelling · Control station · Check level of engine oil, hydraulic oil, fuel and look for any leaks. · Check the lubricating oil regularly and replenish. · Check gauges and lights when running. · Check if excavator is working well when running. · Add grease to lubricating points every day. · Check for bolts which may have vibrated loose.
WHEN THE ATTACHMENT IS FOUND TO BE ABNORMAL If any abnormalities are detected during the operation, inspection, or maintenance of the attachment — such as unusual noise, vibration, odours, oil leakage, or error alarms — stop using the attachment immediately.

SAFETY DRIVE
CAUTION: Match your driving speed to the condition The excavator s centre balance point changes when lifting and lowering the arms and attachments, take care especially if operating on slopes. Keep the excavator on level ground when operating and turning. Lower lift arms entirely when moving and lift bucket to proper height, to avoid obstacles.
DANGER – TAKE CARE TO LOWER OPERATING SPEED IF ARMS ARE RAISED. AVOID SUDDEN CHANGES IN DIRECTION AS THIS CAN CAUSE A ROLL OVER.
WARNING: This product manual can’t teach you how to safely operate a complex excavator. Users should consider undergoing training by a 3rd party provider who specialises in small machinery prior to operation. Avoid overloading the excavator as this has potential to bend the excavator s hitch plate. Examples of ways to overload the excavator are as follows:
1. Driving a bucket into heavy wet soil and lifting the arms vertically. In this work method the bucket is lifting greater than it’s intended capacity. A good work method sees the bucket tilted backwards and the excavator in reverse as the arms are lifted, ensuring a low risk of overload.
2. Augering holes in hard dirt or sticky clay, avoid letting the auger bog down and simply lifting the excavator arms vertically, this has potential to overload the excavator and bend the hitch plate. Allow the auger to clear itself if the ground is dense and boggy. Ensure the auger is retracted vertically which involves tilting the hitch plate as the auger clears the hole.
3. Take extreme care when operating on slopes and in wet conditions. Again, this manual can’t teach safe operation and users should seek specialised 3rd party excavator training prior to operation

potential malfunctions, safety hazards, or voiding of warranties.
RISKS OF USING NON-APPROVED PARTS: · Reduced machine performance and efficiency. · Increased wear and tear, potentially shortening the machine’s lifespan. · Increased risk of accidents or injuries.
HOW TO USE QUICK HITCH
1. Raise the arm off the ground to a workable height.
2. Tilt the bucket to ensure it doesn’t fall once the mounting is loose.
PADDOCK EXCAVATOR AUGER DRIVE ATTACHMENT SPEXHAR
JUNE 2025 18
3. Using the 22mm spanner loosen the nyloc nut on the top of the quick hitch.
4. Loosen the head of the bolt on the bottom of the quick hitch. Doing this will raise the bottom jaw, once the jaw has moved enough off of the bottom bolt on the bucket you should be able to lift the bucket and still have it pivoting in the top jaw.
PADDOCK EXCAVATOR AUGER DRIVE ATTACHMENT SPEXHAR
JUNE 2025 19
5. Lower the bucket onto the ground and reverse the steps to install a new bucket.
CONNECTING HYDRAULIC HOSES TO THE EXCAVATOR
There are two different ways to connect the hydraulic hoses. Follow the steps below for your excavator:
PREPARATION 1. Park the excavator on level ground. 2. Lower the arm to a height that is easily accessible for mounting. 3. Shut off the engine and allow the engine and hydraulic oil to cool to ambient temperature.
VALVE SETUP 1. Close the hydraulic valves by turning them clockwise 90°. The valve debossing should now be perpendicular to the arm. a. If you do not have the valve type, please ignore this step. 2. Remove the screw nut from the valve to expose the male thread: · Hold the male thread still while removing the screw nut. · Cover the exposed male thread with plastic wrap (not included). · Do not remove the male thread itself. NOTE: If you accidentally remove only the outer shell of the screw nut, remove the core as well to fully expose the male thread. Keep the screw nuts in a clean, in protected area. They may be needed later when detaching the auger and resealing the valves.
PADDOCK EXCAVATOR AUGER DRIVE ATTACHMENT SPEXHAR
JUNE 2025 20
PREPARE AUGER PORTS 1. Remove the two nuts sealing the hydraulic ports on the auger. Cover the exposed ports with plastic wrap.
NOTE: If the hose ends are sealed with plastic plugs, remove them. If there are no plugs, inspect the ports and clean them using pressurized air if needed. Always cover all exposed ends with plastic wrap.
Contamination inside the ports may damage your excavator’s main hydraulic pump.
CONNECTING THE HOSES · Connect the hoses to either side of the boom
FINAL STEPS 1. Open the hydraulic valves by turning them counterclockwise 90° so that the debossing is now parallel to the arm. 2.
