Tips for Using Excavators

Publication Date: 2024-10-21

Implementing regular maintenance on excavators aims to reduce the failure rate and extend the equipment's service life, as well as shorten downtime, improve work efficiency, and effectively control operating costs. This requires refined management in a number of areas:


Firstly, the management of fuel is crucial. According to the different temperatures of the operating environment, select the corresponding grade of diesel fuel to ensure the maximisation of fuel efficiency. It is strictly prohibited to mix impurities, ash and water in diesel fuel, otherwise it will accelerate the wear and tear of the fuel pump. Poor quality fuel will cause damage to the engine due to high paraffin and sulphur content. Therefore, you should fill up the fuel after daily operation to prevent water beads from condensing on the inner wall of the fuel tank, and open the drain valve at the bottom of the fuel tank to remove the accumulated water before operation. After exhausting the fuel or replacing the filter element, it is also necessary to completely empty the air in the pipeline to ensure the smooth supply of fuel.

Secondly, the management of other oils should not be neglected. Engine oil, hydraulic oil, gear oil, etc. need to be strictly differentiated, shall not be mixed, because all types of oil containing different additives, mixed will affect its performance. In the selection, should ensure that the oil is clean, to avoid mixing any impurities, and according to the ambient temperature and the specific purpose of the selection of the appropriate standard oil. For example, high-temperature environment to choose a high viscosity oil, low temperature and vice versa; gear oil needs to withstand a large transmission load, the viscosity is relatively large; hydraulic oil to reduce the flow resistance, the viscosity is relatively small.


The maintenance of lubricating grease is equally critical. The use of lubricating oil (grease) can significantly reduce the wear of moving parts and reduce noise. When storing and selecting grease, it is necessary to ensure that the grease is clean and avoid mixing dust, sand, moisture and other impurities. It is recommended to use lithium-based grease G2-L1, which has superior anti-wear performance and is suitable for heavy-duty working conditions. When refilling, the old oil should be squeezed out thoroughly to keep the refilling area clean and prevent sand from adhering and affecting the lubrication effect.


In addition, regular replacement and maintenance of the filter element is also vital. The filter element plays the role of filtering impurities in the oil or air circuit to prevent them from invading the internal system and causing malfunction. Therefore, all types of filter elements should be replaced regularly in strict accordance with the requirements of the Operation and Maintenance Manual. When replacing, it is necessary to check whether there are metal particles on the old filter element, once found, it is necessary to immediately analyse the reason and take improvement measures. At the same time, the use of pure filter element in line with the specifications of the machine should be avoided to avoid the use of shoddy products, because of the poor filtration capacity of shoddy filter element, the material and structure are not up to standard, will seriously affect the performance of the excavator.

 Tips for Using Excavators

To sum up, the maintenance of excavator is a systematic project, which requires comprehensive management from fuel, other oils, lubricating grease to cartridge, etc., to ensure that the excavator operates efficiently, stably and safely, and to provide a strong guarantee for the smooth progress of the project.
