The hot summer has passed, the temperature after autumn has begun to cool down, and the climate has changed significantly. When changing seasons in summer and autumn, the forklift should pay special attention to maintenance during use. Dalian Forklift recommends that the maintenance of forklifts this season should do the following:
1. Vehicle exterior maintenance
In the morning and evening, there is a lot of dew, and the surface of the forklift is often very wet. If the car body has obvious scratches, it should be painted in time to prevent the scratches from getting wet and rusting. Due to the corrosion of rain acid in summer rain and the direct sunlight in summer, the paint surface of the car body will inevitably be oxidized. During the season change, you should do a maintenance work on the surface of the forklift from cleaning and repainting.
2. Tire maintenance
In the safe driving of the forklift, the tire plays an important role. In summer, due to the high temperature, the tire air pressure should be checked frequently, and the tire air pressure must not be too high, otherwise, there will be a risk of tire puncture, and in autumn, because the temperature is relatively low, the tire will need to replenish the air pressure to make it Keep it within the specified air pressure range. At the same time, you should also check whether the tires have scratches, because the rubber tends to be hard and becomes brittle in autumn and winter, the tires are easy to leak, and even tires are punctured, and the inclusions in the tread should be cleaned frequently.
3. Maintenance of engine compartment
The engine oil, brake oil and antifreeze in the engine compartment should be checked to see if the oil is sufficient, whether it has deteriorated, or if it is time for the replacement cycle. These oils are like the blood of the vehicle. They must be replaced by the replacement cycle to ensure the oil circulation. unobstructed.
IV. Maintenance of the brake system
The large temperature difference between day and night in autumn is easy to cause the expansion and contraction of the body parts. Always check whether the brakes are weakened or run off, whether the pedaling strength of the brake pedal has changed, and if necessary, clean the pipeline part of the entire brake system.
Maintenance of heater lines and fans
If your forklift is equipped with warm air lines or fans, after a summer of operation, or preparing for the coming cold winter, it is best to check these devices in autumn to detect whether the exhaust outlet is normal and whether the lines are aging Wait, if any problems can be solved in time.
V. Maintenance of the air intake or intake grille
To check whether there are debris in these parts, if there is debris, you can use compressed air to blow away the dust. In addition, when the engine is cooled, you can use a water gun to rinse the above parts from the inside out.
VI. Air Conditioning Maintenance
If your forklift is equipped with air conditioning, the weather is hot in summer and the air conditioning in the car is often overloaded. In addition, due to the rain in summer and autumn, it will easily cause the condenser to corrode due to the long time, which will shorten the life of the air conditioner Check the air-conditioning status.
Seven. Battery maintenance
The electrode connection point of the vehicle battery is the most prone to problems. During the inspection, if there are green oxides at the electrode connection points, they must be cleaned up in time. These green oxides will cause the generator to run out of power, and in serious cases will also cause the battery scrapped.
Eight. Cab maintenance
The autumn weather in the north is dry and dusty. Please clean the dust in the cab in time to avoid dust deposits and entry into precision parts such as instruments, which affect the performance of the forklift. For forklifts equipped with a cockpit, the windows should be opened frequently to maintain air circulation and ensure fresh air in the vehicle.
Nine. Chassis maintenance
Normally, the car owners are neglected to take care of the chassis. When oil leakage and chassis deformation are found, the chassis is already rusty. For this reason, the status of the forklift chassis should be checked regularly. In addition, door shafts and guide rails are prone to rust due to the impact of wind and sand and car wash, and will make abnormal noise when opening and closing. This problem can be solved by regularly applying anti-rust oil on it.
Here I would like to remind everyone that when driving a forklift, you need to pay more attention to prevent it from happening, and prevent larger failures.
