Excavator maintenance tips

Daily maintenance and upkeep of Mini excavators 

The purpose of implementing regular maintenance and upkeep for excavators is to reduce machine failures and extend the service life of the machine; Shorten the downtime of the machine; Improve work efficiency and reduce homework costs. As long as fuel, lubricating oil, water, and air are well managed, 70% of failures can be reduced. In fact, about 70% of failures are caused by poor management. 

 1) Management of fuel 

1. Different grades of diesel should be selected according to different environmental temperatures; Diesel fuel should not be mixed with impurities, ash, soil, and water, otherwise it will cause premature wear of the fuel pump;

2. After completing daily work, the fuel tank should be filled with fuel to prevent water droplets from forming on the inner wall of the mini excavator fuel tank;

3. Before daily homework, open the drain valve at the bottom of the fuel tank to drain water; After the engine runs out of fuel or the filter element is replaced, the air in the pipeline must be completely drained 

 2) Lubricating grease management 

1. Using lubricating oil (butter) can reduce wear on the moving surface and prevent noise. 

2. When storing and storing lubricating grease, dust, sand, water, and other impurities should not be mixed in; When adding lubricating oil (butter), try to squeeze out all the old oil and wipe it clean to prevent sand from sticking. 

 3) Maintenance of filter element 

 1. The filter element plays a role in filtering impurities in the oil or gas circuit, preventing them from entering the system and causing malfunctions; Various filter elements should be replaced regularly according to the requirements of the operation and maintenance manual; 

2. When replacing the filter element, it is necessary to check if there are any metal particles attached to the old filter element. If any metal particles are found, timely diagnosis and improvement measures should be taken; Use pure filter elements that comply with machine regulations. 

 3. Poor quality filter cartridges have poor filtration capacity, which can seriously affect the normal use of the machine. Eachan, a company specializing in small industrial machinery, specializing in small industrial engineering machinery.
