Complete guide for loader operation and maintenance

In modern engineering construction and material handling, loaders are important construction machinery, and their operational safety and efficiency directly affect the progress of the project and the safety of personnel. This article aims to provide a clear, concise, and practical operation and maintenance guide for loader drivers, ensuring that each driver can drive worry free in a safe and efficient environment.

1、 Operation essentials: Safety first, efficiency first

Driving safety: When the loader is driving, be sure to retract the bucket and keep it about 400-500mm off the ground to prevent accidental collisions. At the same time, pay attention to avoiding roadblocks and high-voltage lines, strictly prohibit carrying non designated personnel, and ensure driving safety.

Driving skills: Avoid sudden changes in direction, especially when the bucket is lifted with a load. It is strictly prohibited to make sharp turns and brake sharply to prevent the loader from overturning. When driving on the highway, be sure to follow traffic rules, drive with caution, and do not slide in neutral when going downhill.

Work safety: When working on sloping terrain, if the engine stalls, the bucket should be placed on the ground and braked to ensure the stability of the loader. At the same time, it is important to note that the bucket handle should not be raised too high to avoid tipping over when unloading materials from slopes, trenches, and pits.

2、 Daily maintenance: meticulous and long-lasting

The daily maintenance of the loader is carried out by the driver himself, before and after driving every day. This mainly includes checking the engine oil level, fuel tank oil level, tightening and sealing conditions, oil and water leaks, and maintaining a clean appearance of the vehicle. These meticulous maintenance tasks can ensure that the loader is in optimal working condition and extend its service life.

3、 Troubleshooting: Rapid and accurate, reducing losses

During the use of the loader, it is inevitable to encounter malfunctions, such as slow pressure rise on the pressure gauge and insufficient braking force. For these common faults, drivers should master basic troubleshooting methods, such as checking for pipeline leaks, working status of air pumps, oil water separator drain plugs or pressure regulating valves, etc. By quickly and accurately troubleshooting, downtime and losses can be reduced.

In short, the operation and maintenance of loaders are important guarantees to ensure the smooth progress of the project and the safety of personnel. Drivers should be proficient in operating essentials and maintenance skills, prioritize safety, prioritize efficiency, be meticulous, and be quick and accurate. Only in this way can one navigate complex and ever-changing engineering environments with ease and achieve worry free driving.
