The summer solstice is approaching, there is more rain, and the excavator is still working orderly on the construction site. Then, how to maintain the excavator in rainy days? Let's take a look with Xiaobian!
Generally, the working environment is not very good, such as mines and construction sites. In addition to the pond stone pavement, it is basically an earth road. After the heavy rain, the pavement is washed into potholes and mud is accumulated in many places. The road also becomes unusually wet and slippery, and even the excavator becomes laborious.
Observe the road conditions
Sometimes if there is an emergency and the excavator needs to go out to help fight the flood, you have to do it. That's it. But we must pay attention to safety, especially when working in the rain.
When working in rainy days, we must pay attention to the condition of the road surface, especially in some places with particularly thick soil. After the heavy rain, the soil is wet and slippery. When working in these places, we must pay attention to the surrounding environment and pay attention to observation at all times. When pushing and shoveling materials, we can work with a small throttle.
When the excavator is used as a tractor in rainy season, we must ensure the safety of the excavator. Only by ensuring our own safety can we rescue others. Especially when we lift the truck on the lower ramp, we must see the road conditions clearly. If there is too much mud, it is best to remove the soil first. If conditions permit, it is best to shovel some sand and stone to pave the road, which can greatly reduce the slip of the vehicle and carry out rescue under the condition of ensuring safety, You must not act recklessly.
Avoid the excavator too close to the edge of cliffs and ditches. If the ground in these places is soft, it is very easy for the machine to fall or overturn due to the weight and vibration of the excavator.
Excavator parking
The parking of excavators in rainy season is also particularly important. If possible, it is best to park in the garage and try to avoid parking in an excessively humid environment. Indoor storage is selected. Anti rust operation is very important. For long-term parking, the machine should be started and driven once a month to charge the battery. After the machine is stored for a long time, wipe the grease on the piston rod and add grease to all parts.
When the machine is parked, keep the working device dry and clean, and do not get water in, so as to avoid rusting and inconvenient operation of the machine.
Timely cleaning
After the operation in rainy season, the excavator chassis must be cleaned, the necessary places shall be maintained and oiled to prevent rust and corrosion, and the oil drain screws shall be checked for looseness. Even if maintenance is carried out, the places where ponding is found on the machine shall be removed in time. Avoid rusting and affecting the performance of the machine.
When parking in the open air, pay attention to check whether the covers of fuel tank and hydraulic oil tank are tightly covered to avoid unnecessary trouble caused by rainwater infiltration into the oil tank.
Equipment maintenance
In rainy days, pay attention to check the filter element of the air filter of the excavator to prevent rainwater from entering, which will deteriorate, damage and block the paper filter element. Replace and maintain it in time.
In addition, pay attention to the wear of the sealing ring on the engine oil scale to avoid its wear causing rainwater to seep into the engine oil. The oil filler shall also be checked. If it is parked in the open air, a plastic bag can be put on if necessary to ensure safety.
Check the use of each wire end of the starter to see if there is looseness or corrosion. If any problem is found, deal with it in time to avoid the starter being affected by moisture and affecting its service life. Check the use of the generator, and all line joints shall be protected from moisture, which will affect the power generation effect.
When parking in rainy season, it's best to put the engine part into the garage. Some careless drivers think it's OK to put the car into the garage, but they don't notice that the engine part is right under the eaves. As soon as it rains, the water rushes on the engine. That scene... I've seen it with my own eyes, so don't be careless when parking.
When working in rainy season, the excavator shall pay attention to windproof, collapse proof, moisture-proof, anti-skid, etc. Always be vigilant when working in the rain. Keep the front and rear headlights, working lights, ceiling lights, instrument lights, wipers, etc. of the excavator working at night to ensure safety.
