How to store small cranes when they are not in use
Small cranes will be idle during the New Year and festivals. Maintenance during the storage period is very important, because if the machine is not used for a long time, it is easy to break down when used again, which increases the number of machines. wear and tear, reducing the service life of the crane. Therefore, the editor summarizes the maintenance methods during the idle period for everyone to learn from. Maybe you have seen the same article in other places, but the editor feels that it is too important, so I summarize it for everyone.
The crane should be parked indoors in a dry place. If you have to park outdoors, you should choose a flat ground and lay out wooden boards. Cover it with a cover after parking.
Before storage, the small crane must be maintained, damaged parts repaired, and thoroughly cleaned to keep it in good technical condition.
The arrangement and layout of the parking lot should ensure that the entry and exit of any small crane is not affected by other cranes.
Place the fuel control lever of the small crane in the idle position and each control lever in the neutral position.
Storage of motives. ①Drain the cooling water in the engine. ②Replace the engine oil. New engine oil is usually neutral and will not corrode the metal parts of your engine. ③ Fill the fuel tank with diesel to prevent the fuel tank from rusting. Preservatives should also be added if conditions permit. ④ During the shutdown period, the engine should be started once a month to make the small car drive a short distance so that a new oil film can be established on the lubricated parts of each part to prevent rust. It should be noted that the cooling water should be filled before starting and drained out at the end.
Storage of batteries. ①The battery should be removed and placed in a dry and antifreeze place. Keep the surface clean and dry. Do not place conductive objects on the battery. When disassembling the battery, first cut off the negative wire, then cut off the positive wire. When installing, connect the positive wire first and then the negative wire. Because the electrical system of the engineering crane is all connected to the negative pole, this is to prevent short circuits when disassembling and assembling the battery. ②Lead-acid batteries should be charged once a month.
Rust treatment. ① Before storage, the size of the peeling area of the anti-rust paint on the outer surface should be considered to determine whether to repair it by repainting or repainting the whole machine. ② For the working devices of small cranes, such as the screed of the paver, the bucket of the loader, the scraper of the grader, etc., the anti-rust method for the exposed metal parts is to apply butter.
