How should small excavators be cleaned when working in rainy weather?

How to clean with a small excavator on rainy days?

1. Timely cleaning

In case of heavy rain, it should be cleaned in a timely manner. Sludge accumulates in the space beneath the small excavator. This is a place that hides moisture and causes rust.

2. Paint

The acid content of rainwater has a strong corrosive effect on the paint surface of small excavators. As time passes, the painted surface of small excavators will be damaged. Therefore, it is possible to repair the painted surface of small excavators during the rainy season. The simplest method is waxing, and the longest lasting effect is sealing glaze. In both cases, small excavators must be equipped with an invisible protective layer to prevent paint fading or deterioration.

3. Maintenance of small excavator chassis

The chassis is close to the ground and is particularly sensitive to road conditions. This part is prone to rusting and may cause the hub and holes to loosen. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the cleaning and rust prevention of the small bucket chassis and the rust prevention of the main frame.

4. Start ignition

It is not easy to start the engine of a small excavator on rainy days. Even if it is difficult to start, the engine of a small excavator can be very fragile. The cause of this malfunction may be the loss of water in the ignition system and the loss of normal ignition function.
