2.lubrication maintenance

Bearing lubrication:

Lubricate bearings regularly and use appropriate grease to ensure smooth running of bearings.

According to the frequency of use and working environment, establish a reasonable lubrication cycle.

Gear lubrication:

Check the lubricant level in the gear box regularly to ensure that the lubricant is sufficient.

According to the manufacturer's recommendation, change the gearbox oil regularly to avoid the lubricating effect due to the aging of the oil.


3.cleaning and maintenance

Clean the axle:

Clean the axle regularly to prevent dust, dirt and other impurities from entering the bearings and gears.

Use a high pressure water gun or detergent to clean the axle surface and ensure thorough cleaning.

Anti-rust treatment:

Anti-rust treatment of the axle surface, especially in wet or corrosive environments.

Use anti-rust agent or anti-rust paint to extend the service life of the axle.


4.brake system maintenance

Brake disc and drum:

Check the wear of brake pads and brake drums regularly, and replace severely worn parts in time.

Ensure that the brake system is working properly to avoid safety accidents caused by brake failure.

Brake fluid:
