General inspection of machine
General inspection of machine
All earthmoving machines are to a great extent exposed to strains
and wear. Therefore it is essential that they are checked and
investigated regularly regarding structural damage and that all
systems are functioning correctly.
It is important that regular inspections are carried out to minimise
the risk of accidents and break downs. The intervals between
these inspections depend on factors such as the age of the
machine, type of application, additional structures, loading, the
condition of the transporting road and the kind of routine service
that has been carried out on the machine. Haulers, which are
working under particularly severe operating conditions, require
more frequent inspections, but we recommend that these
inspections are carried out for the first time at 6000 hours and then
every 2000 hours up to and including 12000 hours and thereafter
every 1000 hours.
A workshop authorised by Volvo CE should preferably carry
out the inspections.
If the machine has been involved in a collision or any kind of
accident, is must be taken out of operation immediately and
carefully investigated, regardless of when the last inspection was
carried out.
In order to be able to carry out a correct inspection, it is important
that the hauler is thoroughly cleaned.
Early detection and repair of faults ensure continued function of
the machine and improve its availability while at the same time the
risk of accidents is reduced. The correct repair of frames and other
supporting elements require knowledge of the materials, the
design of the frame parts and the manufacturer's recommended
repair technique. If the need of repairs arises it is recommended
that you get in touch with your Volvo CE distributor, who is qualified
to carry out the repairs that may be needed. We do not recommend
that repairs are carried out by others than an authorised Volvo CE
distributor.
The front and rear frames, the hitch and the dump body must be
carefully inspected regarding crack formations and defects. This
applies particularly to the welded construction elements.
The areas, which are dealt with here are particularly
important, but this does not mean that other parts may be
disregarded. The entire structure must be carefully examined.
