Three parts of the machine and seven parts of maintenance, this is a phrase often said by people who operate construction machinery, which means that no matter what brand of equipment, maintenance is crucial. Let me give you an example. Two identical 6-ton small excavators can cost 40,000 to 50,000 yuan more after three years of maintenance. This is why the price of second-hand machines varies from car to car, because the focus is on the condition of the car.
Buying a second-hand excavator can save costs for your project, but maintenance is equally important. Here are some key maintenance tips to help novices keep their excavators in the best condition.
First, check the fluid level regularly. Make sure that the oil (such as engine oil, hydraulic oil and coolant) is within the normal range. The cleanliness of the hydraulic oil directly affects the working efficiency of the excavator. Regularly replacing the hydraulic oil can not only extend the life of the machine, but also improve the working performance.
Secondly, pay attention to cleaning. Excavators are prone to accumulate dirt and debris when working. Regular cleaning can not only prevent component wear, but also avoid failures caused by overheating. Pay special attention to the cleanliness of the radiator to ensure that the engine maintains good heat dissipation performance.
Third, check the filter regularly. Regular replacement of air and oil filters can ensure the cleanliness of the excavator, prevent impurities from entering the engine and hydraulic system, and reduce the chance of failure.
In addition, checking the tracks and chassis is also an important part. Check the wear and tension of the tracks regularly to ensure their grip on the ground and avoid safety hazards caused by track problems.
In addition, perform professional maintenance regularly. Although daily maintenance is important, professional maintenance is also indispensable. It is recommended to conduct a comprehensive inspection once a year, including inspections of the engine, hydraulic system, and electrical system, so that potential problems can be discovered in time.
Finally, record the maintenance history. Keeping detailed maintenance records can help you understand the use and maintenance cycle of the excavator, which is convenient for future decision-making.
With these simple maintenance measures, your second-hand excavator can be kept in good condition at work and ensure the smooth progress of the project. Remember, prevention is better than cure, and regular maintenance is the best way to increase the service life of the excavator.
