TECHNICAL RESOURCE

​Maintenance & Servicing

For full requirements, please check the manufacturers Operators Manual, specific to your excavator. As a rough guide, the following daily checks should be made:

Daily Checks: ​

  1. Check engine oil level and top up if necessary.
  2. Check radiator coolant level and top up if necessary.
  3. Check hydraulic oil level and top up if necessary.
  4. Check fuel level and top up if necessary.
  5. Check battery(s) electrolyte level and top up if necessary.
  6. Check fan & alternator drive belt tension and adjust if necessary.
  7. Check tracks are not clogged with dried or frozen mud and debris.
  8. Check track adjustment tension if necessary.
  9. Grease all points on the excavator arm, and attachment (and also on the slew ring assembly approximately every 50 hours), bearing in mind:
    1. Use correct grease. If you have a very high temperature or high impact job, you will need a better grade of grease. Work in very wet weather or partial submersion of water may cause wash out of standard grease – use high washout resistant grease.
    2. The dipper end and attachment may need to be greased more regularly than one a day under conditions were they are exposed to water, sand, salt or fine dust.
  10. In hot and dusty conditions, check the air filter element(s) and clean if necessary.
  11. Check bucket/attachment pins are properly secured with the correct retaining clips or bolts. Unsecured pins can easily come adrift causing damage to the bucket/attachment and the excavator, as well as posing a safety issue.
