How to maintain a used water well drilling rig

Maintenance of used water well Drilling Rigs needs to be even more careful to prolong their life and ensure safety. The following are specific measures for maintaining a used water well drilling rig:

1. Comprehensive inspection and cleaning

Cleaning: thoroughly clean the drilling rig to remove dirt, oil and other accumulated impurities, especially those hidden in the mechanical crevices.
Inspection of the body: Conduct a comprehensive inspection of the rig body, chassis, console, drilling rod and other parts of the rig to see if there are any damages, cracks or obvious wear and tear.
Hydraulic system: check whether the hydraulic oil is deteriorated or has impurities, replace the hydraulic oil with new one if necessary; and check whether there is any leakage in the oil tank and pipeline.

2. Inspection and replacement of worn parts

Drill rods and bits: check the wear and tear of drill rods and bits, especially at the joints; if there are cracks, deformation or serious wear and tear, it is recommended to replace them.
Gears and chains: check the gears and chains for wear, looseness or rust; adjust or replace if necessary.
Seals: Focus on checking the seals of each hydraulic system for aging or damage to prevent hydraulic oil leakage.

3. Lubrication and anti-rust treatment

Lubrication: Lubricate the drive shaft, gears, chains, drilling rods, etc. according to the equipment manual, and choose suitable lubricants to prevent the used equipment from being damaged due to abrasion.
Rust prevention: Apply anti-rust oil to drill pipes, bolts and exposed metal surfaces to prevent rusting, especially important when the equipment is left unused for a long period of time or stored in a humid environment.

4. Engine and hydraulic pump maintenance

Check the condition of the engine: start and observe whether the engine is running normally, with or without abnormal noise or vibration, if there is any problem, please ask a professional to check it.
Replacement of filters: Check whether the engine air filter, fuel filter, hydraulic filter needs to be replaced, the filter is usually not replaced for a long time or contaminated when the engine operation.
Oil and Hydraulic Fluid: It is recommended to change the oil and hydraulic fluid to ensure that the used rig's lubrication and hydraulic system are clean.

Timely feedback of problems: abnormalities found during operation are promptly stopped and inspected so that small problems do not turn into big failures.

Through regular and standardized maintenance, you can improve the working efficiency and safety of used water well drilling rigs and extend their service life.
