Ten common sense for summer forklift maintenance

The summer has passed, and the temperature in the autumn has begun to gradually cool, and the climate has changed significantly. In the summer and fall season, the forklift should pay special attention to maintenance during use. The Dalian Forklift recommends that the maintenance of the forklift this season should do the following:

I. Exterior maintenance of vehicles There are many dews in the early morning and late autumn. The surface of the forklift is often very humid. If there are obvious scratches on the body of the vehicle, paint treatment should be done in time to avoid corrosion of the scratched parts. Due to the rain and acid rain in summer rain and direct sunlight in summer, the car body paint will inevitably be oxidized. In the season, you should do a cleansing and refinishing work for the surface of the forklift.

2. Tyre maintenance The tire plays a decisive role in the safe driving of forklifts. In summer, due to high temperatures, tire pressure should always be checked, and tire pressure must not be too high. Otherwise, there will be a risk of puncture. In the fall, due to relatively low temperatures, tires will need to be replenished with air pressure. Keep in the specified pressure range, at the same time, should also check whether the tire has scratches, because the rubber in the fall and winter season is easy to become hard and look more brittle, tires are easy to leak, and even puncture, should always clean up the inclusions inside the tread.

3. Maintenance of the engine room Engine oil, brake oil and antifreeze should be inspected in the engine compartment to see if the oil is sufficient, whether it is deteriorating, and whether it is replaced. These fluids are like the blood of the vehicle and must be replaced by the replacement cycle. To ensure the smooth circulation of oil.

4. Maintenance of brake system There is a large temperature difference between day and night in autumn, which may lead to expansion and contraction deformation of the body parts. It is necessary to constantly check whether the brakes are weak or run, whether the pedaling force of the brake pedal changes, and if necessary, clear the entire brake. The piping section of the system.

Warm air line and fan maintenance If your forklift is equipped with a heater line or a fan, after a summer operation or in preparation for the coming cold winter, it is best to check these devices in autumn to check if the exhaust outlet is out. The wind is normal, whether the line is aging, etc. If any problem can be resolved in time.

V. The maintenance of the air inlet or grille should check whether there are any debris in these parts. If there are sundries, you can use compressed air to blow away the dust. In addition, in the engine cooling state, you can use the water gun to flush from the inside out. Parts.

Air conditioning maintenance If your forklift is equipped with air conditioning, hot summer weather, the car air conditioning is often overloaded, in addition, due to more rain in summer and autumn, a long time, it is easy to make the condenser rust, thereby reducing the service life of air conditioning , so please check the condition of the air conditioner in due course.

7. Battery Maintenance The electrode wiring of the vehicle battery is the most problematic place. When checking, if there is a green oxide at the electrode connection, it must be cleaned up in time. These green oxides will cause the generator to run out of power. It will also cause the battery to be scrapped.

8. Cab maintenance The weather in the northern part of the country is relatively dry and dusty in autumn. Please clean up dust in the cab in time to avoid deposition of dust and to enter precision components such as instruments, affecting the performance of the forklift. For forklifts equipped with cockpits, windows should always be opened to maintain air circulation and ensure fresh air in the vehicle.

9. Chassis Maintenance Usually, the owners neglect the care of the chassis. When there is oil leakage and the chassis is deformed, the chassis is already rusty. For this reason, check the condition of the chassis of the forklift regularly. In addition, the door shaft and the guide rail are susceptible to rust due to the impact of sand and car washing, and abnormal noises may be emitted when the door is opened or closed. This problem can be solved by periodically applying anti-rust oil on the top.
