The rainy season comes with summer. The heavy rain will produce puddles, bogs and even flood, which will make the working environment of the excavator rough and complicated. What is more, the rain will rust the parts and cause damage to the machine. In order to better maintain the machine and make it create the maximum productivity in rainy days, the following guidelines should be learned and remembered.
1.Cleaning in time
When it comes to heavy rain, it should be cleaned in time.
2.Paint surface
The acidic components in the rain have a corrosive effect on the paint surface of the excavator. In the rainy season, it is best to give the excavator a paint finish in advance. Try to re-apply grease to the areas that need to be lubricated to prevent corrosion and wear.
3.Lubrication
After the machine is stored for a long time, the grease on the piston rod should be wiped off, and all parts should be filled with grease. Keep the working device dry and clean when the machine is parked, so as to avoid rust and make the machine inefficient.
4.Chassis
If it is not cleaned in time on rainy days, some gaps on the underside of the excavator are likely to accumulate sludge. The chassis of the excavator is most prone to rust and stains, and the wheel shell may even be loose and perforated. Therefore, it is necessary to shake off the soil by the unilateral support truck, clean the chassis to prevent corrosion, check whether the screws are loose, and clean up the place where there is water in time to prevent the corrosion of the excavator parts from affecting the work performance.
5.Engine:
On rainy days, if you have problems with the engine not starting, sometimes it's weak even if it barely starts. The most likely cause of this problem is electrical leakage due to moisture in the ignition system and loss of normal ignition function.
Once it is found that the ignition system is poor and the engine performance is degraded due to the dampness of the ignition system, it is best to dry the electrical wiring inside and outside the switchboard with a dry paper towel or dry cloth, and then spray the desiccant with a special desiccant spray can. On distributor covers, battery connectors, line connectors, high voltage lines, etc., the engine can be started after a period of time.
