Environmental Considerations NOTE: Instructor should conduct a risk assessment to include environmental considerations

IAW the current environmental considerations publication, and ensure students are briefed on hazards and control measures.

Instructors must complete a risk assessment before conducting training, operations, or C-1 logistical activities. Abide with all applicable laws and regulations.

Based on its commitment to environmental protection, the Army will conduct its operations in ways that minimize environmental impacts.

• Comply with all environmental laws and regulations. This includes federal, state, local, and

Host Nation laws.

• Prevent pollution at the source by reducing, reusing, and recycling material that causes pollution.

• Conserve and preserve natural and cultural resources so that they will be available for present and future generations.

• Ensure drip pans and spill kits are on hand to prevent / mitigate any Petroleum, Oil, and

Lubricant (POL) spills.

• During refueling operations ensure fuel nozzle is properly in the fuel tank, operator has physical control of the fuel nozzle/handle and is trained on reacting to a fuel or POL spill.

Units and installations will prepare an environmental risk assessment using the before, during, and after checklist. The checklist should supplement local and state environmental regulations applicable to your area.

Instructional Lead-in The hydraulic excavator is a versatile piece of engineer equipment that can be used for multiple tasks on construction projects. When using the thumb, the HYEX can pick up logs, trees, large rocks, rubble and in the next minute be excavating a trench using the bucket. It can also be used to lift loads and position barriers. Its quick disconnect hitch allows quick easy attachment replacement. Whether your mission is digging a trench or placing barriers, the hydraulic excavator is the equipment for the job. Listen close and pay attention and you will learn how to operate the HYEX to successfully perform your mission.

- Unless otherwise specified, perform all maintenance procedures with all attachments lowered to the ground, pilot shutoff lever in the up position, and engine shut off. Failure to comply may result in injury or death to personnel.

- Ensure electrical power is off prior to working on all electrical connections.

Remove all jewelry such as rings, ID tags, bracelets, etc., prior to working on or around vehicle. Jewelry and tools can catch on equipment, contact positive electrical circuits, and cause a direct short, severe burns, or electrical shock.

Failure to comply may result in injury or death to personnel.

CAUTION: New machine break-in maintenance is required at 250 hours. Contact

Field Maintenance to avoid early wear or damage to the machine. Failure to comply may result in voidance of warranty and damage to the machine.

2. Operators Compartment controls and Instruments

a. Front Switch Panel

1) Washer/Wiper Switch

Wiper switch has several positions. The OFF position stops the wipers from operating and parks them. The INT position operates the wipers intermittently at the interval selected by the switch position. The ON position operates the wipers continuously. To operate the washer, push and hold switch down for no more than 20 seconds. Note that the wiper will not operate unless the windshield is completely closed.

2) Operating Lights Switch

This is a three-position switch. The first position turns on the drive light. Front Switch panel will also illuminate. The second position turns on the boom work lights, the front cab work lights, and the drive light. If the default screen on the monitor is displayed, the background goes from white to black.

3) Engine Speed Dial

The dial is used to increase or decrease engine speed.

4) Auto-Idle (A/I) Switch

This is a two-position switch. In the ON position, it will reduce the engine speed after 4 seconds when control levers are in the neutral position. In the OFF position the operator can set the engine speed to improve machine control.

5) Power Mode Switch

This is a three-position switch. The H/P mode is used when more hydraulic power is desired for raising the boom and rolling the bucket during excavation work. The

Power (P) mode is used when performing general digging operations. The Economy

(E) mode is used to increase fuel efficiency and reduces noise level.

6) Travel Mode Switch

This is a two-position switch. It is used to select fast or slow speed of travel.

7) Key Switch

This is a four-position switch. When in the OFF position, the key can be removed.

Moving the switch to the ACC position allows the radio to be turned on or off. In the ON position, all electrical functions will operate. Move and release the switch to the START position starts the machine.
