There are clever ways to maintain excavators, idle shutdown cannot be saved.

When we use excavators, the engine is often in a high load state, and the working intensity is extremely high. However, after the excavator is used, many people overlook a small step, which is to let the engine run at idle speed for 3-5 minutes. Many people believe that this step is not important and often overlook it, but it is a very important step. So, today we will talk about how to do idle shutdown.

 Why should I run the engine at idle speed?

Because when the excavator is in a high load state, various components are running rapidly, generating a large amount of heat. If the engine is immediately stopped, these components will stop due to the sudden circulation of oil and coolant,

Causing insufficient lubrication and cooling, irreparable damage to the engine, greatly shortening the lifespan of the excavator!

How to operate 02 specifically?

Let the engine run at idle speed for 3-5 minutes first, which can fully utilize the lubricating oil and coolant inside the engine to reduce the temperature of all components to a suitable range, thereby avoiding the adverse effects of hot shutdown on the lubrication system and turbocharger.

In this way, the excavator can not only maintain better performance but also extend its service life.

 In short, running the engine at idle speed for 3-5 minutes is a small step, but it is of great importance. We need to treat our excavator well, let it demonstrate its strengths in work, and operate it correctly after use. This way, our excavator can serve us for a long time.
