I'm the new owner ;-) I can make it do most of the things it's supposed to, but it would be nice to have a bit of documentation on maintenance etc. Also there's a hydraulic foot control which has some hidden purpose. The previous owner didn't know what it was supposed to do, either!

Pel-Job are a French firm, their mini diggers are sold under the Volvo brand now. This particular machine is early 1990's, 2.2 tonne. Quite tidy & low hours for its age.

Cheers Tim

The foot control is generally for activating the hydraulic breaker when fitted. N.B. the machine may not necessarily be piped up for a breaker. See

for example.

It is piped up for a breaker, but that has a separate foot control. The mystery one appears to be a 2-way pedal (L, R, Neutral)

Thanks Tim

In article , Tim Leech writes

Could it be for slewing the arm relative to the body (rather than slewing the body relative to the tracks).

Another good effort, but unfortunately wrong

There's a manual changeover valve so that the same joystick movement controls one form of slewing or the other. There's no visible effect when the pedal is operated, but the hydraulics can be heard to be loaded.

I drove a digger once and that pedal was for the variable track width adjustment. An adjustable track width is quite a rare feature on a digger, if you've got it then you're very lucky.

Sadly the track width appears firmly fixed, I did wonder about that one. Would have been handy, just spent a couple of hours shifting stuff to be able to get the machine into the garden.

the pedal in question is at the far end of the footplate, looks as though it should be operated with the heel of the right boot. The breaker pedal is on the LH side of the orange column which carries the tracking levers.
