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.

To check if the hydraulic system is functioning properly, observe the color and viscosity of the hydraulic oil, check the oil level in the hydraulic tank, look for leaks in the lines and fittings, and test the output pressure of the hydraulic pump.

If the engine has trouble starting, first check the battery charge and connections. Ensure the fuel system is supplying fuel by inspecting the fuel pump and fuel lines for blockages. Check the glow plugs (for diesel engines) or spark plugs (for gasoline engines) for wear and replace them if necessary. Use a diagnostic tool to check for any fault codes that might indicate issues with the engine control unit (ECU) or sensors.

The way to test the system after replacement is to start the excavator, slowly operate all hydraulic functions, check system pressure, leakage and operation, and ensure that everything is normal.
