How to save fuel in construction with small excavators

Jan 15, 2025

How to better complete the work of small excavators? First of all, we must use oil that suits the type of machine. We must do a good job of maintenance and maintenance, and use the mechanical rate reasonably, so that we can save more fuel.

First, maintain the temperature of the engine during normal operation, especially in cold seasons, try to keep the water temperature at 75-90°C and use oil according to the season.

Second, regularly remove scale in the cooling system, grease and sediment in the pipes and mufflers.

Third, adjust the brakes correctly and check the front and rear wheels of the tractor frequently to keep the tire pressure normal.

Fourth, keep the electrical system and starting mechanism functioning properly. Do not leave the small excavator engine idle for a long time, and stop it immediately.

Fifth, the locomotive load is appropriate. Practice has shown that the load is about 85%, which is the most fuel-efficient and economical.

Sixth, choose a truly appropriate travel speed. Use "high-level small throttle" for medium and light loads.

Seventh, choose a small excavator reasonably and work continuously. Correctly plan the driving route, minimize idling, no-load, roundabouts, halfway stops, shorten the total travel distance, and reduce inefficient energy consumption.

Eighth, timely and reasonable technical maintenance to keep all components and organizations in good technical condition.

Ninth, clean the oil, meter and refuel. If it is not pre-sedimented and filtered before use, impurities in the oil will cause damage to the plunger and needle valve, resulting in reduced locomotive power and increased fuel consumption. Therefore, general oil should be deposited for more than 48 hours before use.

Tenth, avoid oil leakage. Due to long-term use of small excavators, poor contact of contact parts, improper installation, damaged pads, loose screws, deformation or cracking of pipes, and aging of sealing rings will cause oil leakage. Therefore, it is necessary to take corresponding countermeasures to stop fuel economy in time.

The above is a way to save fuel for everyone with a small excavator. When operating a road roller, it can save fuel according to the above method. Similarly, if you have any good ideas, you can also consult us.
