Summer is the peak period of wheel loader use, and also the high incidence of water tank failure. The water tank is an important part of the cooling system of the front loader, its role is to circulate water to distribute the heat generated by the engine and maintain the normal working temperature of the engine. If the water tank has problems, it will lead to engine overheating and even damage. Therefore, it is very necessary to maintain the water tank of the loader in summer. The following are some common maintenance maintenance methods:
1. Check whether there is dirt, rust or blockage inside and outside the water tank. If there is, it should be cleaned or replaced in time. When cleaning, you can use a soft brush or compressed air to blow away the dust on the surface, and then rinse with water. If there is rust or blockage, you can soak it with special cleaning agent or acidic solution, and then rinse it with clean water.
2. Check whether the coolant in the water tank is sufficient, clean and qualified. If it is insufficient, it should be replenished in time. If it is not clean or qualified, it should be replaced in time. When replacing, the old coolant should be discharged first, then flush the inside of the tank with clean water, and then add new coolant. The type and proportion of coolant should be selected in accordance with the loader’s instruction manual or the manufacturer’s requirements.
3. Check whether the water tank cover is well sealed and whether there are cracks or deformation. If there is, it should be replaced in time. The water tank cover is an important part to keep the pressure in the water tank, if it is not well sealed, it will lead to too fast evaporation of coolant and reduce the cooling effect.
4. Check whether the water tank and engine, radiator and other connecting parts are leaking or loose. If so, tighten or replace the gasket, hose and other parts in time. Leakage or looseness will lead to loss of coolant and affect the normal operation of the cooling system.
5. Regularly inspect, clean and replace the coolant in the water tank, generally recommended once a year or once every 10,000 km of driving. This can prolong the service life of the water tank and improve the efficiency and safety of the loader.
