Tips 1select the right fluid
Oil is the source of power for equipment operation, so it is very important to choose the right oil in the bitter winter!

In cold environment, the density and viscosity of diesel fuel will increase, and the fluidity will become weak. Therefore, in winter, diesel fuel is easy to be difficult to spray, poor atomization, incomplete combustion and other conditions, resulting in a sharp increase in fuel consumption and a decline in efficiency during the use of diesel fuel, and a waste of money will also affect the power of the diesel engine.
Light diesel oil has the characteristics of low pour point and good ignition performance, which can well avoid the above problems.
For the engine oil, there are similar problems. When the temperature decreases, the viscosity of the engine oil increases, the fluidity becomes poor, and the friction increases, which will make it difficult to start the equipment.
So in winter, we should change the oil according to the actual temperature. For example, when operating in northern China, plateau and alpine regions, oils with higher numbers such as 10W-30 and 5W-40 will be a good choice for equipment; When working in the relatively warm south, change the appropriate engine oil according to the actual local temperature.
Tips 2 proper replacement of cooling water
In winter, if the equipment is not used for a long time, we need to empty the cooling water in the engine to prevent the remaining water in the engine from freezing and freezing, causing the body to crack and causing equipment damage.
The service life of Caterpillar's original cooling water can reach 6000 hours. By adding cooling water increment agent, an additional 6000 hours of service time can be increased, so as to better protect the equipment and prolong the service life of the equipment.
Tips 3 the body is afraid of cold, and heat preservation is very important
Although the equipment is "iron and steel", in cold weather, too low temperature will cause engine damage and reduce the service life, so the winter insulation of the equipment is also essential.
After the completion of construction, the engine cover of the equipment shall be covered with insulation curtain or insulation sleeve and other cold proof "clothes". If necessary, the equipment shall be parked in the garage, and the cardboard shall be used to block the cold wind in front of the radiator to protect the equipment.
Tips 4 regular inspection for a comfortable winter
Cold weather will also have an impact on the battery of the equipment. The old battery is extremely prone to excessive power loss in the cold environment. Therefore, we need to check the battery status in time to avoid the embarrassment of finding no power at startup.
In addition, if you do not use the equipment for a long time, remember to disassemble the battery in advance and store it indoors, so as to better protect the battery and equipment.
We should also remind you that you must not patronize the snow viewing during winter operation, and the operation safety should also be kept in mind at all times!
Winter may be unbearably cold, but the snowy world also has a different feeling. Learn the above moves and let the forklift "warm" the winter.
