Avoid breakdowns in your public works and mining machine in winter

11 February, 2022mypNoticias

Everything you need to know to avoid the most typical breakdowns of your public works and mining machinery in winter

Winter season is usually the most conflictive in terms of breakdowns that the engine of your machine may have, it´s time to take into account some simple steps for the repair and maintenance of your machine.

Some of the most recommended habits in winter to examine the engine of your machine and thus avoid costly repairs are, check the level of oil, steering fluid, brake fluid, etc… these fluids will reach a working temperature in order to lubricate the moving engine parts.

This is what you must take into account to prepare your machinery for public works, mining and construction and reduce the probability of breakdowns:

The coolant: If this freezes, the engine problem that this generates can cause an expensive breakdown.

The oil filter: The obstruction or a bad oil filter is one of the most frequent problems for the engine of the machinery to stop working in the recommended conditions. So, before the cold winter comes, empty the water trap of the filters.

The air filter: after the summer season, the air filter can accumulate a lot of dirt, so it is advisable to clean it before moisture enters the system.Check the engine heater, hoses and general system of the engine assembly, if they are hot and in good condition, you will prevent the oil from thickening.

The fuel heater/conditioner will prevent diesel or gasoline from freezing. If the engine is diesel, try to keep the tank always full throughout the winter to prevent its condensation from damaging the machinery. In addition to following these recommendations, you should bear in mind that you should take advantage of the sunlight hours as much as possible to avoid starting the machinery in the coldest moments. If the land is practically frozen, it will be more difficult to maintain good productivity. In fact, it is not advisable to move large machinery when temperatures are too low; if that’s the case for you, try to start your machinery at least once a month when you find the best time for it.
