As an important equipment in construction, the normal operation of self loading trucks is significant for project progress and construction quality. To ensure the long-term use and stable performance of concrete self loading trucks, daily maintenance is essential. This article will introduce the daily maintenance precautions for self loading trucks to help you maintain the equipment in good condition.
Daily Inspection
- Check oil level: Before starting work every day, check if the engine oil, transmission oil, hydraulic oil, etc. are sufficient. If the oil level is too low, it should be replenished in time.
- Check the tires: Check the tire pressure and wear to ensure that the tire pressure is normal and there is no severe wear.
- Check the pipeline: Check if there is any damage to the conveying pipeline and if the connections are tight. If any problems are found, handle them promptly.
- Check the mixing blades: Check the wear of the mixing blades, and replace them in time if they are severely worn.
Regular Maintenance
- Replacing Filter Element
Regularly replace air filter, oil filter, and fuel filter to ensure normal engine operation.
- Check The Electrical System
Regularly inspect the electrical system, including wires, plugs, switches, etc., to ensure that there is no looseness or damage.
- Cleaning The Radiator
Regularly clean the radiator to maintain good heat dissipation performance and prevent engine overheating.
- Check The Hydraulic System
Regularly inspect the hydraulic system, including the hydraulic oil pump, cylinder, oil pipe, etc., to ensure that there are no leaks or abnormal noises.
Daily Maintenance And Operation Precautions
- Lubrication System Inspection
Regularly check the lubricating oil and grease of the concrete self loading truck to ensure the normal operation of the lubrication system and avoid malfunctions and damage caused by poor lubrication.
- Fastener Inspection
Check whether all components of the concrete self loading truck are securely fastened, such as bolts, nuts, etc., and whether there is any looseness. Adjust and replace them in time.
- Cleanliness And Hygiene
Keep the concrete self loading truck clean and hygienic, especially the concrete mixing drum. After use, it should be washed clean in a timely manner to prevent concrete from hardening and clumping.
- Driving Habits
Pay attention to the driving style of concrete self loading vehicles and try to avoid sudden acceleration, sudden braking, and other operations to reduce damage to the vehicle.
- Load Control
Avoid prolonged overloading to avoid excessive burden on concrete self loading trucks, which may affect their service life and work efficiency.
- Hydraulic System Inspection
The hydraulic system is an important component of concrete self loading trucks, and it is necessary to regularly check the quality of hydraulic oil and the sealing of hydraulic pipelines.
- Electrical System Inspection
The electrical system is another important component of the concrete self loading vehicle, and it is necessary to regularly check the connection of wires and electrical equipment to ensure the normal operation of the electrical system.
- Tire Inspection
The tires of the mixer truck need to be regularly checked for air pressure and wear to ensure the stability and safety of the vehicle.
- Engine Maintenance
Do not immediately turn off the engine after running at high speed for a long time to prevent overheating and cylinder pulling and tile burning, which can cause major accidents.
- Water Tank Inspection
Before finishing work every day, the residual materials in the hopper should be cleaned thoroughly. At the same time, it is necessary to maintain sufficient water volume in the water tank and regularly check whether the water level in the tank is normal.
- Cleaning After Discharge
After the concrete mixer truck is discharged, the inlet, discharge hopper, and discharge chute should be immediately rinsed with water from the accompanying hose to remove any dirt and residual concrete adhering to the vehicle body.
- Parking Precautions
When parking, choose a flat, solid, and safe area to avoid parking on slopes or unstable areas. At the same time, the concrete in the mixing drum should be unloaded before shutting down to reduce the burden on the hydraulic system and reduce the amount of concrete residue.
- Maintenance Records
After each maintenance and repair, the maintenance and repair content should be recorded in a timely manner to facilitate future equipment maintenance and management.
- Avoid Overloading
Avoid overloading the concrete self loading truck to avoid damage to the equipment.
- Smooth Start
When starting, accelerate steadily to avoid sudden acceleration that may impact the equipment.
- Reasonable Deceleration
When decelerating, it is important to slow down smoothly to avoid sudden braking that may cause impact on the equipment. Maintain a safe distance while driving to avoid rear end accidents.
- Parking Precautions
When parking, choose a flat, solid, and safe area to avoid parking on slopes or unstable areas. At the same time, the concrete in the mixing drum should be unloaded before shutting down to reduce the burden on the hydraulic system and reduce the amount of concrete residue.
- Avoid Rain
When parking outdoors, the mixing drum should be covered with tarpaulin to prevent rainwater from entering and causing equipment to rust.
- Maintenance Records
After each maintenance and repair, the maintenance and repair content should be recorded in a timely manner to facilitate future equipment maintenance and management.
By implementing the above daily maintenance and operation precautions, the service life of concrete self loading trucks can be effectively extended, the work efficiency of equipment can be improved, and maintenance costs can be reduced. At the same time, it also helps to ensure the construction progress and quality of the project. Therefore, operators and managers should attach great importance to the daily maintenance of concrete self loading trucks, strictly follow the precautions for operation and maintenance, and ensure the normal operation and effectiveness of the equipment.
