With the arrival of autumn, excavators also usher in a critical maintenance period. A thorough inspection and maintenance of your excavator during this season will not only lay a solid foundation for the upcoming cold winter construction, but also ensure the efficient and stable operation of your excavator during the winter months. Below is the autumn excavator maintenance guide we have compiled for you.
Firstly, power system maintenance is the top priority. Autumn leaves are flying, excavator engine, exhaust manifold, muffler and engine compartment is easy to accumulate leaves and other debris, need to be removed in a timely manner in order to prevent clogging or fire risk. At the same time, check whether the engine oil, coolant and other fluid levels are normal, to ensure the normal operation of the power system. In addition, it is also necessary to check the wear and tear of engine belts, tensioner pulleys and other components, and timely replacement of aging parts. Secondly, the inspection of the electrical system is equally critical. After experiencing the rainy season and high temperature, each belt of the excavator may appear aging, cracking and other abnormalities, which need to be carefully checked and timely replaced. The plug part is the key to the connection of the electrical system, and you should check whether the connectors are loose, whether the pins are corroded, and use a special cleaning agent to deal with the abnormal situation. As the temperature drops, it is also necessary to check whether the warm air pipeline and the related valve switch are smooth to ensure safe operation in a warm environment. Body maintenance is vital to the long-term operation of the excavator. Strong sunlight and harsh construction environment in autumn may lead to corrosion, oxidation or breakage of the excavator's paintwork. Selective paint repair is recommended to protect the bodywork from further damage, depending on the actual condition of the excavator. Meanwhile, for excavators that are planned to continue to be used in winter, oil and coolant replacement needs to be prepared in advance to ensure the normal operation of the excavator in a low-temperature environment.
When carrying out excavator maintenance, you should also pay attention to the following points: follow professional specifications and avoid potential risky behaviours such as non-professional modifications or the addition of fuel heating systems. Use genuine parts and lubricants to ensure the performance and longevity of the excavator. Regularly check whether the functions of the excavator are normal, such as steering, braking and lifting. Keep your excavator clean and wash the body and undercarriage regularly to prevent dust and dirt from damaging the equipment. In short, autumn excavator maintenance is an important part of ensuring the smooth progress of winter construction. I hope you can pay attention to the maintenance of equipment in this period, and work together to provide a strong guarantee for the efficient operation of winter construction.
