Summer Maintenance of Construction Machinery

Clean all components of the cooling system

To ensure the good performance of the cooling system of the small whole machine, all components of the cooling system should be thoroughly cleaned, tightened and lubricated. The scale in the cooling system should be removed as much as possible (including the scale in the radiator) to improve the heat dissipation efficiency, keep the cooling system unobstructed and accelerate the circulation of cooling water.

Check the drive belts of the water pump and fan

After long-term use, the belt will become fatigued and deformed, reducing its cooling effect. When replacing the belt, pay attention to the model and length, and adjust its tightness correctly.

Check the rubber hose connecting the water tank

3. The oil resistance of the rubber hose in the radiator is relatively poor, and it is prone to premature damage, which affects the water supply and causes the engine temperature to rise too high. If there is any cracking or leakage, it should be eliminated in time. At the same time, it is necessary to maintain an adequate supply of cooling water. If any shortage is found, it should be replenished in a timely manner.

Ensure the height of the electrolyte level in the battery

4. In summer, the temperature is high and the evaporation is large, causing the liquid level to drop rapidly. It is necessary to replenish the distilled water or electrolyte in a timely manner as needed (pay attention to its purity) to keep the liquid level 10 to 15mm above the top of the plates to prevent oxidation of the plates. The dirt on the surface of the battery, as well as the oxide on the terminal posts and wire joints, should be cleaned in time. The vent holes should be kept unobstructed and clean, and the battery should be fixed firmly. Timely eliminate battery faults and ensure regular inspection and maintenance.

Driver's Precautions

5. In summer, the driver of the entire machine is prone to fatigue after driving for a long time. When the driver feels tired, they should stop the machine in time and take a proper rest. They must not force themselves to be overly fatigued and drive excessively. To ensure adequate sleep and good energy and physical strength, one's work efficiency will be relatively high.

Both drivers and construction machinery should be adjusted in a timely manner to reach their respective best conditions and safely get through the summer.
