The Ultimate Guide to 1376 Cylinder Assemblies and Seal Kits for Excavators

Possible loose installation, unbalanced pump components, or cavitation.

Solution: Tighten installation, balance pump components, check and eliminate cavitation sources.

1. Chain off caused by tension cylinder failure
At this time, you should check whether you have forgotten to butter the tension cylinder and see if there is any oil leakage in the tension cylinder.

2. Chain off caused by severe wear of the crawler
If used for a long time, the crawler will definitely be worn, and the wear of the chain ribs, chain barrels and other parts on the crawler will also cause the crawler chain off.

3. Chain off caused by wear of the chain guard
Now almost all excavator crawlers have chain guards, and chain guards can play a very important role in preventing chain off, so it is also very important to check whether the chain guard is worn.

4. Chain off caused by wear of the drive motor ring gear
For the drive motor ring gear, if it is severely worn, we need to replace it, which is also an important reason for the excavator chain off.

5. Chain off caused by damage to the sprocket wheel
Generally speaking, oil leakage of the sprocket wheel oil seal of the excavator will cause severe wear of the sprocket wheel, which will cause the crawler chain off. The public account Zhizao Daguan focuses on sharing relevant theoretical knowledge in the engineering machinery manufacturing industry.

6. Chain derailment caused by guide wheel damage
When checking the track guide wheel, check whether the screws on the guide wheel are missing or broken. Check whether the groove of the guide wheel is deformed.

Using a hydraulic pressure gauge connected to the pump's test port, operate the excavator to generate pressure and compare the reading to the manufacturer's specifications.

Possible clogged filter, low hydraulic oil level, or worn pump components.

Solution: Clean or replace filter, refill hydraulic oil, inspect and replace worn components.

Kobelco excavator maintenance tips 1: Cooling to prevent air blockage In high temperatures in summer, the engine is prone to air blockage due to high speed and difficult heat dissipation, which makes it difficult to start the engine after stopping for a few minutes. Once air blockage occurs, the excavator driver should stop the engine immediately to cool down and eliminate the fault.

Kobelco excavator maintenance tips 2: Observe the water temperature gauge at any time to prevent water shortage When driving in high temperature weather, always pay attention to checking the cooling water volume and the water temperature gauge. When water shortage is found, immediately idle the engine to cool down before adding water, and be careful not to open the radiator cap immediately to prevent burns.

Kobelco excavator maintenance tips 3: Prevent engine oil from deterioration Lubricating oil is easily diluted by heat, resulting in poor oxidation resistance, easy deterioration, and even causing faults such as burning of the bearing and the shaft. Therefore, the crankcase and gearbox should be replaced with summer lubricating oil, and the amount and quality of the lubricating oil should be checked frequently, and replaced in time.

Kobelco excavator summer maintenance tips 4: timely cleaning of engine surface oil If the external oil of the engine is too thick, it will affect the heat dissipation and bury the hidden danger of failure of various parts. You can use the high-pressure spray method to clean the engine parts with a cleaning agent that does not corrode the body parts.

Kobelco excavator summer maintenance tips 5: prevent the water tank water temperature from being too high In summer, the cooling water of Kobelco excavators evaporates and consumes quickly. You must add enough cooling water before leaving the vehicle, and check the water level frequently during work. For single-cylinder diesel engines without a water temperature gauge, always pay attention to the red mark height of the water tank float. If the float cannot be used normally, it should be repaired in time. If the boiling phenomenon occurs during work, do not add cooling water directly. Stop the work, slow down the generator, and slowly add cooling water after the water temperature drops to avoid cracks in the water tank when it is cold.

Kobelco excavator summer maintenance tips 6: Ensure the best oil supply time In summer, the oil supply time of Kobelco excavators should be adjusted. If the oil is supplied too early, the engine will make a knocking sound and sometimes reverse; the oil supply time should not be too late, otherwise the engine will work weakly.
