How to maintain Volvo crawler excavator
October 16, 2021
1. Volvo engine and engine spare parts :
The engine oil and engine oil filter element should be replaced by genuine parts according to the prescribed maintenance period. Old engines need to be carefully taken care of, and the replacement time of the oil and filter can be shortened as appropriate to make the engine life longer.Engine Spare Parts,Diesel Fuel Injector,Cummins Cylinder Block,Engine Upper Gasket Kit
Try to use the diesel fuel provided by the regular gas station. Even if the diesel fuel is charged by the regular gas station, do not directly add it to the fuel tank. Filter it before adding it (the more common method is to put socks on the fuel nozzle). Drain water at the bottom of the diesel tank and the oil-water separator before starting work every day. The diesel filter element is purchased from the original factory, and the diesel filter element is replaced according to the prescribed maintenance cycle. (One point to clarify, the filter paper of the original factory filter element is fine, the amount of impurities intercepted is large, so it is easier to block, and the replacement cycle is shorter than that of the auxiliary factory filter element, so it is not a long-term non-blocking filter element that is a good filter element)
The air filter element is checked frequently, and the dust of the outer filter element is often blown from the inside to the outside with compressed air. The air pressure should not be too high to prevent the filter element from being blown. The inner filter cannot be cleaned. After the outer filter is cleaned two or three times, it shall be replaced with a new one at the same time as the inner filter.
Do not use idling for a long time to save fuel to prevent carbon deposits.
2. Volvo Hydraulics:
Replace the hydraulic oil, oil return filter element, and pilot filter element according to the prescribed maintenance period, and pay attention to whether there is iron filings and copper filings on the filter element.
When using a breaker, the deterioration of hydraulic oil will accelerate, and the replacement cycle should be shortened.
It is not necessary to work without oil for a long time.
After replacing the hydraulic oil or hydraulic components, pay attention to exhaust air.
3. Volvo Electric:
Pay attention to waterproofing, do not work in deep water, and do not directly wash electrical components with water when cleaning.
Do not pile up debris, especially metal tools, in the battery box, which may cause fire.
Do not use iron wire and copper wire to replace the insurance, and do not replace it with substandard insurance.
When the excavator is parked for a long time, the battery cable should be removed to prevent power feeding.
4. Volvo Machinery:
Rotary reducer and travel reducer replace the gear oil periodically.
Pay attention to clean up the dirt and debris on the pin shaft and add butter.
For wading operations, when the water flows over the rotary gear ring, pay attention to replace the grease in the rotary gear ring.
Pay attention to the anti-rust of the cylinder rod.
When the excavator is parked for a long time, grease the exposed metal parts to prevent rust.
5. Volvo structure:
Check every day whether the pin bolts are loose, fall off, or missing, and tighten them in time.
Check the structure every day for cracks and deformation.

Pay attention to the surrounding environment when parking the excavator, park it on a solid, stable and hard ground, and do not park on the edge of a river, cliff or under a mountain slope to prevent accidental danger.
When parked, the bucket cylinder is fully retracted and the bucket falls to the ground to prevent the cylinder from being hit.This tips also apply for other
