Along with the rapid development of China's economy, the construction machinery industry has also experienced rapid growth. Many construction projects require the use of construction machinery, and loaders are also a commonly used type. A loader requires proper maintenance and upkeep during use. Especially when the winter temperature in the north is below zero degrees Celsius.
The outdoor temperature is low in winter, and most areas in the north will drop below zero degrees Celsius. Low temperature and increased oil viscosity can cause a short-term shortage of lubricating oil and prevent it from spreading throughout all lubrication points, leading to difficulties in cold starting and severe wear. And at this time, in order to maintain the operating temperature, the engine will increase the fuel injection amount and run at high speed. So when starting, it is necessary to avoid high load operation of the loader and idle it for a period of time before adding load when the water temperature rises.
When the temperature is very low, diesel with low freezing point and good fluidity can be used. In low-temperature environments, fuel will exhibit a series of unfavorable characteristics, such as increased fuel density, decreased flowability, atomization, and poor combustion. These unfavorable features will lead to a decrease in the engine's starting, power, and fuel efficiency. To ensure that diesel does not solidify, diesel with a low freezing point can be selected.
In northern winter, there is often sandstorm weather. In order to prevent sand and dust from entering the air filter, fuel tank, and diesel coarse and fine filters and accelerating wear, it is necessary to regularly maintain them.
Antifreeze maintenance: In winter in northern China, it is necessary to purchase antifreeze suitable for the local low temperature, consider the appropriate freezing point, and prevent freezing at low temperatures in winter.
When it comes to ice and snow weather, the anti-skid performance of the tires should be considered. If it is not necessary, try not to drive and wait for the road ice to melt before construction. If construction is needed in ice and snow weather, anti-skid chains can be added.
