How To Use Small Excavator Safely Under High Temperature

As the weather warms, the temperature is also rising. The increase of external environment will bring many difficulties to the use of small excavators. For example, as the core part of the whole machine – diesel engine, due to the increase of temperature, it will reduce the oil viscosity and lubrication effect at the same time, so as to weaken the power and easily wear the internal parts.

For example, as the core part of the whole machine – diesel engine, due to the increase of temperature, it will reduce the oil viscosity and lubrication effect at the same time, so as to weaken the power and easily wear the internal parts.

Therefore, especially in the hot summer, when repairing the small excavator, the diesel engine must be carefully maintained, so that the small excavator can be used safely under high temperature and prolong the service life of the whole machine.

1.Engine oil and lubricating oil need to be changed in summer. Regularly check whether there is oil leakage.

2.Replenish the battery liquid in time, appropriately reduce the charging current, replace the aging line in time, the fuse capacity meets the requirements for safe use, and the equipment is equipped with fire extinguishers.

3.Check the water pump fan drive belt. After the belt is often used in summer, it will produce fatigue and deformation and reduce the cooling effect. When replacing the belt, pay attention to the model and length, and correctly adjust the tightness.

4.Regularly check the braking efficiency of the whole machine, find and eliminate the faults of the braking system in time, and reduce the hidden dangers of accidents.

5.Always pay attention to the degree of the water temperature gauge. When the temperature reaches 100 ℃ or above, measures shall be taken in time. You can choose to park in a nearby shade and cool at idle speed. Be careful not to shut down immediately to prevent cylinder pulling accident caused by overheating inside the engine.

6.During wading operation, the inclination angle of small excavator shall not exceed 15 °, so as to prevent the upper structure from being immersed in water and damaging the radiator. The track tensioning cylinder should also be loosened and tightened frequently to remove the sludge on the cylinder and prevent the cylinder from rusting.
