Hot Weather Cooling System Maintenance For Track Loaders and Excavators
With warmer weather, increased humidity, and a busy summer schedule comes the potential for engine problems, unnecessary wear, and risk of equipment overheating. Some simple steps and regular maintenance can help avoid those problems.
We encourage your operators to conduct daily inspections of your machines. Some areas to pay extra attention to are:
With a busier summer schedule, many machines including track loaders and excavators are at risk of being overworked due to tight project schedules. Always encourage your team to not push a machine past its capabilities or there will be expensive repairs to be made. In addition, operators should alert someone if the equipment shows an engine code such as low oil pressure, overheating etc. to protect the equipment from damage.
Finally, equipment should always be stored in a dry place away from any unnecessary sun or humid environmental exposure to combat the formation of rust.
