1. Common Types of Bulldozer Hydraulic System Failures
(1) Insufficient Pressure Failure
· Possible causes: Relief valve malfunction, hydraulic pump wear, clogged suction line
· Symptoms: Weak blade lift, sluggish ripper movement
(2) Abnormal Movement Failure
· Possible causes: Control valve sticking, hydraulic cylinder internal leakage, loose pipe connections
· Symptoms: Jerky movements, "creeping" behavior
(3) Overheating Failure
· Possible causes: Clogged cooler, contaminated fluid, system overload
· Symptoms: Oil temperature exceeding 80°C, accelerated seal degradation
(Note: These three categories account for over 75% of bulldozer hydraulic system failure cases.)
2. Systematic Diagnostic Process
When bulldozer hydraulic system failures occur, follow these steps:
Step 1: Basic Checks
(1) Hydraulic oil level (top up to mark if low)
(2) Fluid contamination (visual check for cloudiness/metal particles)
(3) Pipe connections (locate leaks, tighten loose fittings)
Step 2: Pressure Testing
(1) Use gauges to measure main pump output (compare with specs)
(2) Test safety valve opening pressure (adjust if >10% deviation)
Step 3: Component Inspection
(1) Disassemble hydraulic pump (check gear/piston wear)
(2) Clean control valve (remove debris with kerosene)
(3) Test cylinders (pressure-holding test for internal leaks)
3. Preventive Maintenance Recommendations
To reduce bulldozer hydraulic system failures:
(1) Fluid Management: Change oil every 500 hours, use OEM filters
(2) Cleanliness Control: Clean cooler fins post-operation to prevent dust buildup
(3) Regular Testing: Monthly oil quality checks with contamination analyzer
