As global temperatures continue to soar this summer, your machinery is facing its toughest test of the year. High ambient temperatures can quickly overheat hydraulic systems, leading to thinned oil, accelerated seal degradation, and unexpected downtime.
To keep your hydraulic breakers hitting hard without breaking a sweat, keep these crucial maintenance tips in mind:
Monitor Oil Viscosity: Extreme heat thins hydraulic fluid. Ensure you are using the correct high-temperature viscosity grade to maintain proper lubrication.
Inspect Seals Frequently: High temperatures are the number one enemy of rubber components. Check for early signs of leaks or hardening.
Grease More Often: Use high-quality, high-temperature chisel paste, and increase greasing intervals to prevent metal-on-metal friction.
