  The acidic components in rainwater have a strong corrosive effect on the paint surface of the excavator. Over time, it will cause damage to the paint surface of the excavator. Therefore, in seasons with heavy rain, it is best to perform a paint repair on the excavator. . The simplest is waxing, the longer and more effective is to seal the glaze. Prevent paint from fading and aging.

 

  The chassis is the part closest to the ground and is particularly affected by road conditions. Generally, this part is most susceptible to rust and stains, and the wheel housing may even become loose and perforated. Therefore, the excavator chassis must be cleaned and rust-proofed.

 

 

  During the rainy season, excavators should pay attention to windproof, anti-collapse, moisture-proof, anti-slip, etc. When constructing in the rain, you must be prepared in advance and remain vigilant at all times. On the one hand, we must pay attention to the surrounding environment of the excavator construction to avoid personal and property losses caused by natural disasters such as flash floods and mudslides; on the other hand, we also need to focus on inspection and maintenance of the excavator to reduce excavator failures and prevent rainwater from invading the area. Incoming parts are damaged. If there is too much water on site or there is a risk of a vehicle getting trapped, the construction should be canceled immediately.

  Finally, it is especially important to park the excavator during the rainy season. Be sure to clean the excavator chassis and park it indoors in a dry place. Keep the working equipment dry and clean when the machine is parked. If it can only be parked in the open, pay attention to check the fuel tank and hydraulic oil tank. Whether the lid and other parts that need to be sealed are tightly closed to prevent rainwater from seeping into the fuel tank. You can put on a waterproof cover and plastic bag to ensure everything is safe. During the rainy season, you should also pay attention to checking the filter element of the excavator air filter to prevent rainwater from entering, causing deterioration, damage and blockage of the paper filter element. In addition, when parking in the open air, stay away from trees, cliffs, ditches and other areas to avoid accidents.
