Having operated hydraulic water well drilling rigs for over a decade, I've developed a set of practical drill maintenance tips. Just like people, equipment will fail you at critical moments without proper care. Today, I'll break down these drill maintenance tips in detail for everyone.

1. Daily Inspections: Don't Skip Them

The first rule of drill maintenance tips: Three must-do checks before starting each day:

(1) Check hydraulic oil level (mid-mark on dipstick is ideal)

(2) Feel hydraulic hose temperature (investigate abnormal heat immediately)

(3) Listen for unusual noises in the rotary head (dry bearings sound rough)

These drill maintenance tips have saved me from three major overhauls

2. Hydraulic System: Priority Care

The hydraulic system is the lifeblood of your rig. Remember these drill maintenance tips:

(1) Change hydraulic oil every 250 hours (don't believe that 800-hour nonsense)

(2) Clean filters monthly (I prefer flushing with diesel)

(3) Replace leaking hoses immediately (small leaks lead to burst pipes)

These drill maintenance tips kept my rig running 60 days straight in northern Shaanxi

3. Drill Pipe Care: Details Matter

Often overlooked drill maintenance tips:

(1) Clean each pipe after use (prevents mud buildup)

(2) Apply high-temp grease to threads weekly (Mobil XHP222 recommended)

(3) Store on wooden blocks (never directly on ground)

These drill maintenance tips extended my pipe life by 3 years

4. Engine Care: Protect the Heart

The most valuable drill maintenance tips:

(1) Clean air filters weekly (daily in desert conditions)

(2) Use only ethylene glycol coolant (never mix with tap water)

(3) Drain diesel during long storage (prevents gum deposits)

These drill maintenance tips keep engines running 10,000+ hours

5. Seasonal Maintenance: Adapt Accordingly

Winter-specific drill maintenance tips:

(1) Switch to low-temp hydraulic oil below -15°C

(2) Drain coolant if idling over 2 hours

(3) Store batteries indoors

Summer drill maintenance tips:

(1) Clean radiators more frequently

(2) Shut down if oil temp exceeds 70°C

Hengwang HWL-230 Maintenance Recommendations

(1) Lubricate rotary head bearings every 500 hours

(2) Smart diagnostic system provides early fault warnings

For Beginners:

(1) Keep a maintenance log (date + item + responsible person)

(2) Stock spare parts (seals, filters, fuses)

(3) Check manual before disassembling

Remember: Good drill maintenance tips = Saved repair costs = More profit!
