How to Maintain Excavator

How to Maintain Excavator


Equipment maintenance is very important. Good maintenance for equipment is a crucial means to prolong the service life of equipment and reduce its failure rate. Good maintenance can not only prolong the service life of excavator, but also improve economic benefits and save costs. Improper operation and maintenance will easily bury hidden dangers and lead to excavator malfunction.
 

1. Avoid all kinds of corrosion.
According to weather and air conditions, take effective measures to reduce the impact of chemical corrosion on machinery and prevent rainwater and chemical components in the air from invading inside the equipment.

Equipment Corrosion  
Machinery construction is often carried out in the outdoor working environment, which is inevitabe that the machine will be eroded by wind, frost, rain and snow. Metal surface corrosion can at most affect the appearance of machinery, while the influence that internal corrosion can bring about should not be underestimated. Various chemicals enter the machinery through gaps and external passages, corrode internal parts, affect its normal functioning, and even shorten the service life of equipments.


2. Ensure normal working load of excavator.
Do not exceed the maximum load that the equipment can bear during operation. Try to ensure the uniform acceleration of the excavator load, step on the accelerator evenly, and make smooth movements.

Ensure Normal Working Load of Excavator 

The size and nature of excavator workload are closely related to equipment wear. When parts "overload", the wear will intensify, to ensure normal workload, so that the machine can be healthier and last longer.


3. Reduced impact of impurities in construction machinery.
Pay attention to the protection of the whole machine on the job site and the protection of new accessories during maintenance, selecting genuine high-quality accessories.

Reduced Impact of Impurities in Construction Machinery
 
In the process of equipment operation, air and machine itself will produce various impurities. If these impurities enter the inside of the machine and reach between the mating surfaces of the machine, they will not only accelerate the wear of parts, but also scratch the surface of fittings, destroy the lubricating oil film, and increase the temperature of parts which further deteriorate the lubricating oil.


4. Ensure the normal operating temperature of each component.
Check all kinds of thermometers frequently, and stop the machine immediately to check and troubleshoot problems when they are found. Check the working condition of cooling system frequently, replace cooling water, and ensure ventilatory cooling air duct. Prevent overload operation at low temperature, and do not operate until the specified temperature is reached.
 
Ensure the Normal Operating Temperature of Each Component 
In the process of operation, the optimum temperature of each component has a certain range, which will accelerate the wear of components, causing deterioration of lubricating oil and changing of material properties.
 
Preventing problems before they happen, you can reduce a lot of troubles, so don't underestimate those small details of daily maintenance.
