一. Common Winter Failures & Solutions for Hengwang Excavators


1. Difficult Engine Start

Causes: Low temperatures increase oil viscosity, reduce battery capacity, and worsen diesel fluidity.

Hengwang's Expert Recommendations:


  • Check the preheating system of your Hengwang excavator in advance; ensure the fuel heater functions properly.


  • Use high-grade winter diesel or add anti-gel additives.


  • Monitor battery status; use genuine Hengwang high-capacity batteries or external power assistance when necessary.


2. Sluggish Hydraulic System Operation

Causes: Low temperatures increase hydraulic oil viscosity, leading to slower excavator response.

Hengwang's Expert Recommendations:

  • Switch to specialized low-temperature hydraulic oil, ensuring it meets extreme cold operation requirements.

  • Allow 5-10 minutes of low-idle warm-up before operation to ensure full hydraulic oil circulation.

  • Regularly inspect hydraulic filters to prevent blockages that affect system pressure.

3. Track/Tire Slippage or Freezing

Causes: Reduced traction on icy surfaces and ice buildup locking tracks.

Hengwang's Expert Recommendations:

  • Place wooden planks or anti-freeze mats under tracks when parking to prevent freezing; if frozen, use specialized de-icing agents or warm water to thaw.

  • Adjust track tension appropriately for winter conditions to reduce ice accumulation risk.

4. Fuel System Waxing

Causes: Conventional diesel fuel precipitates wax crystals in low temperatures, clogging fuel lines.

Hengwang's Expert Recommendations:

  • Use winter-grade diesel fuel specifically formulated for cold climates.

  • Add diesel anti-gel additives to improve low-temperature flow characteristics.

  • If fuel lines become clogged, employ fuel line heating equipment or replace filters promptly.

II. Hengwang Excavator Safety Protocols for Ice & Snow Operations

  • Daily Inspection: Prioritize checking antifreeze, engine oil, battery, lighting, and brake systems to ensure optimal excavator condition.

  • Smooth Operation: Avoid sharp turns and sudden braking to prevent excavator skidding on icy surfaces.

  • Parking Protection: Prefer indoor parking overnight, or use insulation covers for critical components when outdoor storage is necessary.

  • Emergency Supplies: Keep tire chains, jump starters, de-icing tools, and first aid kits readily available on-site.




III. Hengwang Excavator Emergency Rescue Guide for Sudden Breakdowns

If your Hengwang excavator experiences a sudden failure during field operation, please follow these steps:
