You can activate the pit through the map menu. The screen will have a fixed circular cursor in the center. To start a quarry, you'll need to select its icon first. Put the cursor on the same to do so. You must be precise, as the command will only appear when the crosshair is on the icon. A text will appear saying "[keybind] Activate Quarry." Press the button shown there and you'll get another command prompt. It will be titled "[keybind] (3 Fuel Points) to Activate."

Now this is the important part. You need to put the cursor on the command prompt itself and then hold down the shown keybind to activate the Sand Quarry.

Reasons why the Sand Quarry won't activate

Even after following the above steps, some circumstances might stop the site from being activated.

Low fuel

The quarry might be low on fuel even if you've refilled it recently. Check the tank and make sure it is full.

The mission hasn't progressed enough to allow the Sand Quarry's use

Some sites will only be activated during specific sections of a quest. In other words, if you didn't trigger the appropriate checkpoint, you won't be able to use areas like a Sand Quarry.

How to check if the pit is activated
