With the arrival of autumn, temperatures gradually drop, the temperature difference between day and night increases, and air humidity fluctuates significantly. These environmental factors can affect the performance of your KB aerial work platform. To ensure stable and efficient operation of your platform during autumn and beyond, comprehensive maintenance is essential. The following are key points for autumn maintenance of KB aerial work platforms.
As temperatures drop in autumn, engine maintenance requires advance attention. First, check the engine oil and replace it promptly to ensure proper lubrication of all engine components. Next, inspect the cooling system to ensure the coolant meets current environmental requirements. Also, check the cooling lines for leaks to ensure proper cooling system operation. Furthermore, the air filter is prone to absorbing dust and impurities in autumn, so frequent inspections and timely cleaning or replacement are recommended to maintain engine air intake efficiency. As temperatures drop, hydraulic oil viscosity changes, potentially affecting system pressure and smooth operation. Therefore, check the hydraulic oil type and performance, replace with the appropriate oil, and clean the hydraulic oil tank to remove impurities and prevent blockage. Also, carefully inspect the hydraulic lines and connectors, replacing any aging lines promptly to ensure a stable and reliable hydraulic system.
Autumn's high humidity levels can easily lead to moisture in the electrical system. Check the battery of your Kob aerial work vehicle to ensure the electrolyte level is normal and add distilled water if necessary. Inspect all electrical wiring for signs of aging or damage, and replace any damaged wiring promptly. Check the waterproof seals of all electrical connectors to prevent short circuits caused by rain or moisture intrusion during autumn. Autumn is often windy, dusty, and with fallen leaves, the platform body is susceptible to scratches and corrosion. Carefully remove debris such as mud, sand, and fallen leaves from cracks and the chassis. Inspect the vehicle's paint and repair any scratches promptly to prevent rust. Treat the chassis with rust protection to protect components from corrosion. Safety is paramount when working at height. Thoroughly inspect safety features such as seat belts, safety interlocks, and bucket guardrails for wear, deformation, or looseness, and promptly repair or replace any damaged components. Regularly test safety features such as the emergency brake system and anti-roll mechanism to ensure they can activate properly in emergencies, providing reliable safety for workers.
The autumn environment is highly variable. Maintaining key systems such as the engine, hydraulics, and electrical systems, as well as inspecting the platform's chassis protection and safety features, can effectively improve platform performance, reduce the risk of failure, extend platform life, and ensure safe and efficient work at height.
