How to conduct a thorough inspection of the excavator?

Thorough inspection of excavators is an important link to ensure construction safety, improve work efficiency and extend the service life of machinery. The following will explain in detail how to carry out a comprehensive inspection of the excavator:

1. Check the safety protection device

Cab: Check whether the cab is clean and free of debris, whether the Windows are clear, and whether the fire extinguisher is effective to ensure a quick response in an emergency.
Locking device: Confirm that the hydraulic locking device of the excavator is in good condition to ensure that the hydraulic system can be locked immediately when needed.

2. Check the driving system

Track: Check the wear of the track and replace or repair the damaged part in time to ensure the stability and safety of the excavator.
Steering system: Confirm the effectiveness of the steering system and braking system to ensure flexibility and control in the operation of the excavator.
Drive system: Check whether the drive system has abnormal sound or loss, and repair or replace the faulty parts in time.

3. Mechanical parts inspection

Engine: Check whether the engine is working properly, whether the oil, fuel and coolant are sufficient, and there is no leakage.
Hydraulic system: Check the leakage of hydraulic oil tank, hose and hydraulic mechanical joint to ensure the sealing and integrity of the hydraulic system.
Monitoring panel: Ensure that all kinds of metering instruments and monitoring panels of the excavator are not damaged and that the data is clear and accurate to avoid accidents caused by misreading.

4. Check the electrical system

Wire: Check whether the wire is intact and the connection is firm to prevent mechanical failure or safety accidents caused by wire problems.

5. Maintenance and maintenance records

Daily maintenance: According to the daily maintenance records of the excavator, timely replace the air filter element, clean the cooling system, adjust the clearance of the bucket, etc.
Operating procedure

In addition, in the process of conducting a thorough inspection of the excavator, the following points need to be noted:

A simple pre-inspection should be carried out before each use, including confirmation that there are no foreign objects around the machine, and basic checks of the engine, hydraulic system and driving system.
Conduct regular safety education and training for operators to ensure that each operator understands the safe operation procedures and emergency measures of excavators.
Maintain the integrity of maintenance and inspection records to track the excavator's maintenance history and identify potential problems in a timely manner.
