After the loader leaves the factory, it is generally stipulated that there is a running-in period of about 60 hours (some are called the running-in period), which is stipulated according to the technical characteristics of the loader in the early stage of use. The running-in period is an important link to ensure the normal operation of the loader, reduce the failure rate, and extend its service life. Some users ignore the special technical requirements of the running-in period of the new machine due to lack of common sense in the use of loaders, tight construction period, or the desire to obtain benefits as soon as possible. Some users even think that since the manufacturer has a warranty period, the manufacturer is responsible for repairing the machine if it breaks down, so the machine is overloaded for a long time during the running-in period, resulting in frequent early failures of the machine, which not only affects the normal use of the machine and shortens the service life of the machine, but also affects the progress of the project due to machine damage. Therefore, the applicability and maintenance of the loader running-in period should be given full attention.
Use and Maintenance
1.
Since construction machinery is a special vehicle, operators should receive training and guidance from the manufacturer, have a full understanding of the structure and performance of the machine, and gain certain operation and maintenance experience before operating the machine. The "Product Use and Maintenance Manual" provided by the manufacturer is an essential document for operators to operate the equipment. Before operating the machine, be sure to read the "Use and Maintenance Manual" first and perform operation and maintenance as required.
2.
Pay attention to the workload during the running-in period. Half of the workload during the running-in period should not exceed 60% of the rated workload, and an appropriate workload should be arranged to prevent the occurrence of overheating caused by long-term continuous operation of the machine.
3.
Pay attention to frequently observing the indications of each instrument. If an abnormality occurs, stop the machine in time to eliminate it. Stop the operation before the cause is found and the fault is eliminated.
4.
Pay attention to frequently checking the level and quality of lubricating oil, hydraulic oil, coolant, brake fluid, and fuel oil (water), and pay attention to checking the sealing of the whole machine. If too much oil and water are found during the inspection, the cause should be analyzed. At the same time, the lubrication of each lubrication point should be strengthened. It is recommended that grease should be added to the lubrication points every shift during the running-in period (except for special requirements).
5.
Keep the machine clean, adjust and tighten loose parts in time to prevent loose parts from aggravating wear or loss of parts.
6.
At the end of the running-in period, the machine should be maintained compulsorily, and inspection and adjustment should be done well, and attention should be paid to the replacement of oil. In short, the requirements for the use and maintenance of the loader during the running-in period can be summarized as: strengthen training, reduce load, pay attention to inspection, and strengthen lubrication. As long as you pay attention to and implement the maintenance and maintenance of the loader during the running-in period as required, you will reduce the occurrence of early failures, extend the service life, improve operating efficiency, and bring you more benefits.
