How to protect the excavator in rainy weather

1. The first step is checking the road to make sure the condition safety. 

On rainy days, the road conditions will become worse, especially in the dirt roads of mines or construction sites. The washing of heavy rain will make the roads pitted and muddy. Avoid proximity to loose areas such as cliffs and ditches where the weight and vibration of the excavator itself can easily cause the machine to fall or tip over. If it is working at night, headlights, working lights, dome lights, instrument lights, wipers and other equipment in front of and behind the excavator need to be checked regularly to ensure normal operation. If the thunderstorm is too heavy or the construction environment is too harsh, don't take risks to start work, safety comes first.

2. Do a good job of anti-slip and anti-rust if rainwater corrodes the machine

Lubrication: Long-term parking still requires regular buttering to prevent rust.Chassis: If not cleaned in time in rainy days, some voids under excavator are easy to accumulate sludge. The chassis of the excavator is most susceptible to rust spots and may even loosen perforations at the wheel housing. Therefore, it is necessary to throw off the soil on one side of the branch truck, clean the chassis to prevent rust and corrosion, check whether the screws are loose, and clean in time if water accumulates, so as to avoid machine corrosion affecting working performance.

Anti-slip chain: The road surface is wet in rainy season. In order to prevent rollover, dumping and other accidents, it is best to install the anti-slip chain to the excavator first. Iron plates are pre-positioned in the swamp to prevent the danger of subsidence.

Engine: Check engine wiring harness regularly for looseness or rust and to avoid dampness at joints.

Air filter: Rain may enter the air filter during rainy days and deterioration of the filter element may affect air quality.

Oil gauge: Pay attention to check whether the sealing ring of oil gauge is wor
