Special Maintenance for Tropical High-Humidity Environment
Anti-rust, anti-clog & anti-overheat maintenance plan adapted to Southeast Asia monsoon climate
Maintenance Schedule Classification
Daily After Operation (Must Do)
- Clean all straw & mud on crawler, cutter and cooling radiator
- Check engine oil, hydraulic oil & fuel tank liquid level
- Blow air filter with compressed air to avoid tropical dust blockage
- Grease all rotating bearings and chain tension points
Every 50 Working Hours
- Sharpen cutter blades, replace severely worn blades
- Readjust crawler tension & conveyor chain tightness
- Clean fuel water separator to prevent tropical water mixed fuel
- Inspect all drive belts for aging & crack signs
Every 200 Working Hours
- Fully replace engine oil, hydraulic oil & all filters
- Disassemble & clean threshing cylinder and vibrating sieve
- Check rust on chassis, touch up damaged anti-rust paint
- Inspect hydraulic pipeline for leakage under high temperature
Long-Term Idle Storage (Rainy Off-Season)
- Drain residual fuel to avoid carburetor clogging
- Coat all metal moving parts with anti-rust grease
- Store machine on elevated platform away from flood water
- Run engine idle 10 minutes every 15 days to prevent oil solidification
Rubber Crawler Chassis Maintenance
Tropical mud & rain accelerate rubber aging. Clean mud on track plates every day; avoid sharp stone impact; replace crawler when tread thickness wears below 3mm; apply silicone grease on track rollers to resist rust from high humidity.
Engine High-Temperature Protection
Southeast Asia average harvest temperature above 32掳C. Clean radiator fins every 2 hours during operation; replace cooling water every 100 hours; do not overload engine continuously to avoid cylinder damage under tropical heat.
Transmission Belt & Chain Care
High temperature makes rubber belts easy to crack. Replace belts every 80鈥?00 working hours; keep chains lubricated to prevent rust; adjust tension properly to avoid slipping power loss in muddy fields.
