Maintenance
Pay attention to these points, and you can extend the service life of your small roller!
I. Transmission Maintenance
The transmission should be cleaned at least once every quarter. When cleaning, first, when it is hot, stop the machine, unscrew the oil drain plug at the side end of the transmission to drain the lubricating oil inside the box, then screw the oil plug back on, fill the box with kerosene, start the diesel engine, let the transmission run at low speed for 2-3 minutes, stop the machine, drain the kerosene, clean the oil plug and screw it back on the transmission. (Note: The kerosene must be drained completely to prevent the lubricating oil from mixing with the remaining kerosene and losing its lubricating effect. Then add new lubricating oil until the oil level reaches the marking line on the dipstick.
Use 20 # gear oil for the transmission.
It is necessary to frequently inspect and adjust the positioning devices of the variable speed control mechanism and the reversing mechanism to keep the gears in the appropriate position and avoid disengagement accidents.
It is necessary to frequently check the leakage at each sealing point of the transmission. If the sealing parts are damaged, they should be replaced in time.
Regularly check the connecting bolts between the gearbox and the frame. Tighten them if necessary to prevent them from loosening or falling off.
Ii. Maintenance of Hydraulic Systems
Check whether the installation bolts of the filter, valve, motor, oil pump, cylinder, etc. are loose and whether there is any oil leakage at each joint.
Observe the oil level gauge on the side of the oil tank. When the hydraulic oil is too little, add the same grade of filtered hydraulic oil.
The hydraulic oil tank should be cleaned and the oil changed every six months. When adding or changing the oil, be extremely careful not to mix impurities or dirt into the tank. The new oil added or changed must be filtered out in advance.
Use 68 # anti-wear hydraulic oil for the hydraulic oil.
The hydraulic oil filter should be cleaned or the filter element replaced every 500 hours of use.
Iii. Maintenance of Vibrating Wheels
The lubricating oil of the vibrating wheel should be replaced every 1,000 hours. Check at any time whether there is any leakage or damage to the lubricating oil of the vibrating wheel. When checking the oil level, the oil filling port should be turned directly above, and the oil opening should be opened to allow the oil to leak out until there is no leakage or very little leakage.
When maintaining, change the lubricating oil of the vibrating wheel. Pay attention to cleanliness when changing the oil.
Use CD grade 30 diesel engine oil as the lubricating oil.
The lubrication and maintenance of the walking bearing should be carried out by adding an adequate amount of calcium-based grease to the corresponding oil cup position after an average of 20 days of use of the entire machine.
Iv. Maintenance of the Main Clutch
In addition to constantly adjusting its control mechanism, the main clutch should also be inspected and adjusted to ensure that the ends of its three release rods are in the same plane and maintain a certain gap (0.4 to 0.7 millimeters) with the release bearing.
When engaging and disengaging the main clutch, it should be done smoothly and gently. Excessive force should be avoided. When engaging the clutch, the clutch pedal must be returned to its original position to ensure full engagement. When disengaging the clutch, the pedal must be fully depressed to ensure complete disengagement. During operation, it is essential to prevent the clutch from being in a semi-engaged and semi-engaged state to avoid burning it out.
Regularly inspect the main clutch to prevent oil stains from adhering to the surfaces of the friction plates and pressure plates.
V. Side Drive Maintenance
Due to its low rotational speed, heavy load and easy contamination by dust, sand and silt, side transmission should be frequently inspected for lubrication. Regularly remove the mud, sand, fine stone chips and dirt on the gears and apply a new layer of calcium-based grease to prevent damage accidents.
Vi. Battery Maintenance
After a long period of use, if a storage battery is not used properly or maintained properly, it is common for the specific gravity of the electrolyte to drop, the voltage to be extremely high during charging, and the voltage to be extremely low during discharging. Moreover, white crystalline particles are found outside the plates, forming "acid salts" in the battery, which makes it unusable. For batteries that have been acidified, in mild cases, they can be restored to normal after 1-2 charges with a smaller current.
Check the charging condition of the battery pack with an acid hydrometer to see if the battery is fully charged. The specific gravity of the electrolyte should be 1.28(at 15 ° C) when fully charged. If the specific gravity drops to 1.2, the battery pack should be charged with another power source.
Under normal conditions, the generator of a diesel engine is sufficient to fully charge the battery. However, in winter, the battery pack should be kept fully charged frequently to prevent freezing. To prevent the hardening of the battery electrodes and the formation of sulfuric acid scale, the battery should not be in a discharged state for more than 24 hours. Even if it is not used for a while after being fully charged, it should be charged once a week until sufficient bubbles are released inside the battery.
The surface of the battery must be kept clean at all times. If there is dust or electrolyte leakage, it is best to wipe it clean with a cloth soaked in ammonium chloride alcohol or 10% ammonium sulfate solution.
