Как подготовить технику к холодному времени года

Kubota mini excavators are reliable machines that can operate even in difficult winter conditions. However, to ensure its durability and high productivity, it is important to prepare the excavator for work in the cold in advance. 

1. Check the battery

Cold weather can significantly reduce battery performance. Before starting the winter season, check the battery charge level, condition of the terminals and connections. If necessary, service or replace the battery. 

2. Lubrication for winter conditions

Use winter lubricants that have better viscosity at low temperatures. This will help to avoid problems with engine starting and ensure smooth operation of the mechanisms. 

3. Fuel control

In winter, use winter diesel that is resistant to low temperatures. Do not forget to add additives that prevent freezing. 

4. Warming up the engine

Be sure to warm up the engine before starting work. This will minimize wear and tear on the parts and ensure stable operation of the excavator. 

5. Maintenance of the tracks

Snow, ice and mud can increase the load on the tracks. Before each trip, check their condition and clean them of any ice or snow. 

6. Regular diagnostics

Before the winter season, have your equipment fully checked by an authorized service. Specialists will be able to identify and eliminate all potential problems.
