During the summer rainy season, the use and maintenance of excavators require special attention to ensure safety and the normal operation of the equipment. The following are comprehensive maintenance and operation precautions:

Equipment maintenance

Drainage system inspection: Ensure that the drainage system of the excavator is unobstructed to prevent rainwater from accumulating around the body, especially near the engine compartment and hydraulic system.

Rust and moisture-proof treatment: Perform rust-proof treatment to protect metal parts; check the insulation of the electrical system to prevent short circuits, and ensure that the air filter is dry to prevent moisture and blockage.

Lubricant maintenance: Regularly replace engine oil and hydraulic oil to ensure that the oil is clean, and check the working condition of the oil-water separator.

Operation precautions

Operation site inspection and reinforcement: The operation site is muddy and the foundation is soft during the rainy season. Before operation, it should be carefully inspected and reinforced if necessary to prevent collapse.

Anti-slip measures: When the ground is slippery, the excavator should be operated at a slow speed to avoid sharp turns and sudden braking. Anti-skid devices can be installed on the tracks to improve stability.

Avoid bad weather: Try to avoid working in heavy rain to prevent risks caused by unclear vision and soft foundation.

Monitor water level changes: When working in low-lying areas such as rivers and ditches, pay close attention to water level changes to prevent equipment from being flooded.

Operator safety

Wear protective equipment: Operators should wear waterproof and non-slip work clothes and safety shoes to ensure their own safety.

Develop emergency plans: Be familiar with emergency plans, including evacuation routes and emergency contact information, to ensure that you can respond quickly in case of emergencies.

Daily management

Keep equipment clean: Clean the excavator in time after operation to prevent long-term adhesion of mud and affect the normal use of the equipment.

Increase maintenance frequency: The equipment is frequently used in the rainy season, and the maintenance frequency needs to be increased to detect and deal with hidden dangers in time to ensure that the equipment is in the best condition.

Training and education: Conduct safety training for operators in rainy season operations to improve safety awareness and emergency handling capabilities.

Through the above comprehensive maintenance and operation precautions, the safe operation of the excavator during the summer rainy season can be effectively guaranteed, the failure rate can be reduced, and the operation efficiency can be improved.
