Summer has passed, and it is autumn and winter. Forklifts should pay special attention to maintenance when they are in use. Diesel Forklift Recommendations, Forklift Maintenance Precautions This Season
1. External maintenance of the forklift.
In autumn and winter, there is a lot of dew, and the surface of the forklift is often wet. If the car body has obvious scratches, it should be painted in time to prevent the scratched parts from getting wet and rusting. In summer, due to the acid corrosion of rainwater and the direct irradiation of the car paint surface, the paint surface in summer is inevitably oxidized. When the season changes, it is best to clean and repair the surface of the forklift truck once.
2. Tire maintenance.
The safe operation of a wheelset forklift is critical. In summer, due to the high temperature, the tire pressure should be checked frequently, and the tire pressure should not be too high, otherwise, a tire blowout will occur. In autumn, due to the low temperature, the tire pressure is increased to keep it at the specified pressure. range, and also check the tires, because in autumn and winter, the rubber looks more fragile, so please check the tires. It is also necessary to clean the tires frequently, or even puncture the tires, and the tread patterns are mixed.
3. Start the engine room maintenance.
Check the oil, brake oil and antifreeze in the engine compartment to see if the lubricating oil is sufficient, whether it has deteriorated, and whether it has reached the replacement cycle. These oils are like the blood of the vehicle and must be replaced during the replacement cycle to ensure smooth oil circulation.
4. Maintenance of brake system.
In autumn and winter, the temperature difference between day and night is large, which is easy to cause parts to expand, shrink and deform. Always check whether the brakes are loose, deviate, and whether the pedal strength has changed. If necessary, clean the entire brake system pipeline.
5. Maintenance of heating pipes and fans.
If your forklift is running in summer, or preparing for the coming winter, it is best to check these devices in autumn, check whether the ventilation holes are normal, whether the lines are aging, etc., if there are problems, they should be dealt with in time.
6. Air inlet or entrance fence.
Check whether there are debris in these parts. If there is debris, you can use compressed air to blow it away. In addition, when the engine is cooling, you can use a water gun to wash the above parts from the inside out.
7. Air conditioner maintenance.
If your forklift is equipped with air conditioning, the weather is hot in summer, and the air conditioning in the car is often overloaded. In addition, due to the heavy rain in summer and autumn and the long time, it is easy to rust the condenser, and the state of the air conditioning should be checked in time.
8. Battery maintenance.
The electrode wiring position of the car battery is the most prone to problems. During inspection, if green oxide is found at the electrode wiring, it must be removed in time. These green oxides will lead to insufficient power supply, and in severe cases, the battery will be scrapped.
9. Maintenance of the cabin.
The weather in the northern autumn is dry and dusty. Please clean up the dust in the cab in time to avoid dust accumulation and entering the instrument and other precision parts, which will affect the performance of the forklift. For forklifts installed in the cockpit, the windows should be opened frequently to maintain air circulation and ensure fresh air in the vehicle.
10. Protective cover.
In daily life, car owners do not pay attention to the chassis, and after discovering oil leakage and deformation of the chassis, the chassis has long been rusted. Therefore, the forklift truck should regularly check the chassis condition. In addition, the door shaft and guide rail are easily rusted due to the erosion of wind and sand, and abnormal noise will be produced when opening and closing. Such problems can be solved as long as they are regularly coated with anti-rust oil.
