The hydraulic excavator is one of the tools we increasingly encounter in various sectors and industries. As in forestry and road construction, agriculture and mining. This multifunctional machine has proven its value in practice. The purchase of heavy equipment is a huge investment. The expectation is therefore aimed at ensuring that there is a certain guarantee in lifetime and reliability. To achieve this good maintenance, correctly and safe operating of the machine is essential to increase the availability of the excavator.
