Everything You Need to Know About Kubota Excavator Salvage Parts

The way to check the electrical connection is to visually check whether the connection is loose or damaged, and use a multimeter to test whether the voltage and current are normal.

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.

After the newly purchased battery is injected with the liquid with the appropriate specific gravity, it should be placed for 6-8 hours to allow the liquid to penetrate the plates. When the temperature of the liquid drops below 30℃, it can be charged for the first time. The initial charge should be carried out in two stages. The charging current in the first stage should be lower than 1/10 (one tenth) of the rated capacity of the battery, and the time is about 25-35 hours. When the voltage of a single cell rises to 2.4 volts, the current is reduced by half and the second stage is entered, which takes about 20-30 hours. When the electrolyte emits strong bubbles and the specific gravity no longer rises, the voltage of a single cell rises to 2.6-2.75 volts and remains unchanged for 2-3 hours, it means that the battery is fully charged. During charging, the temperature of the electrolyte will rise, exceeding 40℃ in summer and 35℃ in winter. Charging should be suspended and recharged when the temperature drops below 30℃ to prevent damage to the plates and separators.

Park the excavator on a flat ground, turn off the engine and wait for a while, then check the hydraulic oil level through the oil level gauge of the hydraulic oil tank.

To diagnose a faulty fuel injector, listen for any unusual engine noises or misfires. Perform a balance test to identify which injector is causing the problem. Use a diagnostic tool to check for fault codes related to the fuel system. If necessary, remove and inspect the injector for signs of clogging or damage, and replace it if needed.
