Perfectly functioning engines are one part of serious construction work. The maintenance of them is even more vital. By regularly maintaining the crucial inner engine components:

  • Downtime is reduced
  • Productivity and profitability are enhanced
  • Equipment lifespan is prolonged
  • Potential issues are detected early on
  • The risk of unexpected mechanical troubles is lowered, which impacts the working schedule and related costs 
  • There’s a lower fuel consumption 

Proper maintenance is crucial for correcting minor issues before they become large, costly ones. Fixing small problems is way more economical than fixing bigger ones. 

Regularly lubricate the construction equipment:

A backhoe has several moving parts, making grease an important daily PM point. Areas like the front axle, trunnion bearings, and swing system pins and bearings should be checked daily and greased if required. Always use high-quality grease to ensure it's capable of standing up to a full day in the dirt. 

Filter maintenance

Regular intermediate filter maintenance helps extend the equipment's lifespan and ensures it operates efficiently. It also helps to prevent contaminants from entering the equipment, which can cause damage to the machinery and result in poor product quality.

For the engine: 

  1. Check and replace the oil, engine, air and/or fuel filter and fuel strainer element. For diesel trucks, also replace the water separator.
  2. Clean or replace the interior ventilation filter.
  3. Renew the cooling liquid and replace the water filter if your machine has one.

Safety checkups:

To guarantee safety, a daily machine checkup is recommended. Look for potential oil leaks and check the different fluid levels (coolant, fuel, oil, etc.). A walkaround inspection can reveal potential problems before work starts. Turning on the engine and searching for abnormal sounds is also a good idea. 

Replace/detect malfunctioning parts in time: 

When faced with worn-out or broken internal engine components, there’s one important message: replace everything with a new, correct part immediately. Our high-quality engine components are available for most common brands of mini-excavators, skid steer loaders, compact track loaders and backhoe loaders.
