Adjust the tensioning device to maintain the appropriate tension of the tracks.
- Check the surface of the tracks for foreign objects such as stones and branches. If there are any foreign objects, remove them promptly to avoid damaging the tracks.
- Examine the wear of the tracks, especially the track teeth and track plates. If severe wear or cracks are found, consider replacing the tracks.
(II) Regular Maintenance
- Regularly clean the debris and dust inside the tracks. You can use compressed air or a brush for cleaning. At the same time, check the lubrication of the tracks and add an appropriate amount of grease as needed to reduce the friction between the tracks and other components.
- Check the tracks comprehensively at regular intervals (such as once a quarter or depending on the usage), including the connection parts of the tracks and the tensioning device, to ensure that the tracks are in good working condition.
IV. Motor Maintenance
(I) Daily Inspection
- Inspect the appearance of the motor to see if there are any signs of damage or overheating, such as discoloration of the motor housing or a burnt smell. If any abnormality is found, stop using the motor immediately and check the cause of the malfunction.
- Check whether the motor wiring is firm, and whether there are any loose or oxidized phenomena. Loose wiring may lead to unstable operation or failure to start the motor, and oxidized wiring will increase the resistance and affect the motor performance.
(II) Regular Maintenance
- Depending on the usage of the motor, regularly clean the dust and debris on the surface of the motor. You can use a blower or a soft brush for cleaning to maintain good heat dissipation of the motor and prevent it from overheating due to poor heat dissipation.
- Regularly check the insulation performance of the motor. You can use an insulation resistance meter for detection. If the insulation resistance is found to decrease, find the cause and deal with it promptly, such as replacing the insulating material.
V. Support Hydraulic Push Rod Maintenance
(I) Daily Inspection
- Inspect the appearance of the hydraulic push rod to see if there are any oil stains or leakage. If you find oil stains, determine the leakage location. Maybe the seals are damaged and you need to replace them promptly.
- Check whether the extension and retraction of the hydraulic push rod are smooth and whether there is any jamming phenomenon. If there is jamming, check whether there are foreign objects or damaged parts inside the push rod.
(II) Regular Maintenance
- Regularly replace the hydraulic oil of the hydraulic push rod. Select the appropriate hydraulic oil model and replacement cycle according to the requirements of the user manual. The new hydraulic oil should be clean and free of impurities.
- Check the wear of components such as the piston and seals of the hydraulic push rod. If there is excessive wear, replace them promptly to ensure the normal working pressure and telescopic function of the hydraulic push rod.
VI. Battery Maintenance
(I) Daily Inspection
- Check the appearance of the battery for swelling or leakage. If you find any abnormality in the battery’s appearance, stop using it immediately to avoid danger.
- First of all, check whether the connection lines of the battery are firm. In addition, this can ensure good electrical connection between the battery and the lawn mower.
(II) Regular Maintenance
- Charge the battery regularly according to the type of battery and the recommendations in the user manual. Avoid over-discharging or overcharging the battery, as this will affect its lifespan. When the lawn mower will not be used for a long time, fully charge the battery before storage and conduct supplementary charging regularly.
- Regularly clean the surface of the battery. You can gently wipe it with a damp cloth, but be careful to avoid water entering the battery. At the same time, check the electrolyte level (for lead-acid batteries) and add distilled water if necessary.
VII. Gear Maintenance
(I) Daily Inspection
- Firstly, carefully inspect the appearance of the gears to see if there are any signs of wear, spalling on the tooth surfaces, or cracks. Then, if you find any abnormality, replace the gears promptly. By doing so, you can avoid affecting the normal operation of the transmission system.
- Check the lubrication of the gears to see if there is enough lubricating oil. If the lubricating oil is insufficient, add it in a timely manner.
(II) Regular Maintenance
