1. Daily Pre- and Post-Operation Checklists  

Professional road construction bulldozer operators should develop the following inspection habits:  

(1) Hydraulic System: Check oil levels (HW32D working tank capacity: 144L) and inspect for leaks  

(2) Track Condition: Measure tension (standard value ±15mm) and remove debris  

(3) Blade Edges: Monitor wear (recommend measuring thickness every 50 hours)  

 

2. Regular Lubrication of Critical Components  

Modern road construction bulldozers like the HW32D typically have 50+ lubrication points:  

(1) Lubricate blade articulation points every 8 hours  

(2) Replace slewing bearing grease every 250 hours  

(3) Use lithium-based grease (NLGI Grade 2) for dusty working conditions  

 

3. Proper Maintenance of Filtration Systems 

Dust from road construction accelerates wear on road construction bulldozers:  

(1) Air Filters: Clean pre-filters daily in dusty environments  

(2) Hydraulic Filters: Replace every 500 hours or when oil contamination reaches NAS 10  

(3) Fuel Filters: Avoid low-quality diesel (HW32D recommends China VI standard)

4. Seasonal Care for Cooling Systems  

Road construction bulldozers require special attention in extreme temperatures:  

(1) Summer: Clean radiator fins monthly (HW32D cooling area: 6.8㎡)  

(2) Winter: Use -35°C antifreeze and preheat hydraulic oil before cold starts  

(3) Rainy Season: Check waterproof seals on electrical wiring  

 

5. Utilizing Smart Diagnostics Technology  

New-generation road construction bulldozers like the Hengwang HW32D now feature:  

(1) On-board fault code systems (identifying 200+ potential issues)  

(2) Remote monitoring platforms (real-time engine/hydraulic data transmission)  

(3) Predictive maintenance alerts (early warnings for potential failures)  

 

Pro Tip: Maintain a detailed road construction bulldozer service log, recording:  

(1) Daily operating hours  

(2) Lubrication change dates  

(3) Abnormal vibrations/noises  

 

By following these five tips, your HW32D road construction bulldozer can achieve a 30%+ longer lifespan. If you need to obtain the "Exclusive Maintenance Manual for Road Construction Equipment" or support for original factory parts, you are welcome to contact us.
