With rising temperatures and more demanding environmental conditions, it is crucial to take preventive and corrective measures to avoid problems and minimise the risk of breakdowns or unplanned downtime.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Main risks and breakdowns in equipment during the summer<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Summer and its high temperatures can cause major machine breakdowns.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our experts stress the importance of the following aspects:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Accumulated dirt and debris: Flammable items such as dry leaves or straw, which accumulate in the cavities of the machine, can generate sparks and thus cause major hazards.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Engine overheating: In summer, heat-related problems arise. Engines suffer not only from continuous operation, but also from the temperature. If the problem persists, despite stopping and waiting for the engine to cool down, we recommend examining the machine to identify the cause.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cylinder head gasket: This is an essential element for the proper functioning of the engine. The main reason for its deterioration is overheating. The pressure exerted on the cylinder head gasket by the antifreeze as it increases in size due to the heat can lead to a costly failure.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>What to check for proper equipment maintenance in summer?<\/b><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Regular cleaning<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dust, dirt and other debris can accumulate in the equipment, especially in air filters and radiators. Periodic cleaning is important to ensure that components are free of obstructions and operate efficiently.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>Adequate lubrication<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High temperatures can affect the lubrication of bearings and other moving equipment components. Check lubricant levels and be sure to use the proper type and amount of lubricant recommended by the manufacturer.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>Temperature monitoring<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During hot days, it is essential to keep a close eye on the operating temperature of the equipment. Use <\/span><b>thermometers <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">or systems of <\/span><b>monitoring <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to verify that the limits recommended by the manufacturer are not exceeded. If the temperature is too high, consider implementing additional cooling measures, such as fans or cooling systems.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>Inspection of key components<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Performs visual inspections of critical components of equipment, such as <\/span><b>straps<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hoses, <\/span><b>cables <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and connections. Look for signs of wear, cracks, deterioration or leaks. Replace any <a href=\"https:\/\/maquinza.com\/repuestos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">component<\/a> damaged or worn before it causes a major failure. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cooling system maintenance<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure that the cooling system of the equipment  is in good condition. Clean the <\/span><b>radiators <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and the <\/span><b>air ducts<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to allow for proper heat dissipation. Check the level and quality of coolant and antifreeze and replace if necessary.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Cooling system maintenance<\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure that the cooling system of the equipment  is in good condition.
