How to maintain and service a riding power trowel?
The following are the maintenance and care methods for ride-on trowels:
Daily maintenance
Cleaning work
Body cleaning:
After each use of the trowel, the dust, concrete residue and other debris on the body should be cleaned in time. You can use a damp cloth to wipe the surface of the body, but be careful to avoid water entering key parts such as the engine. For stubborn stains, you can use a mild detergent to clean them.
Clean the trowel and spatula:
If the concrete remaining on the trowel and spatula is not cleaned in time, it will affect the effect of the next use. You can use special tools such as scrapers to remove the solidified concrete residues, and then rinse with clean water.
Check screws and nuts:
Regularly check whether the screws and nuts of various parts of the trowel are loose. Focus on checking the installation screws of the trowel and spatula, as well as the fasteners of the various connecting parts of the body. If looseness is found, tighten it in time with appropriate tools.
Regular maintenance
Engine maintenance
Replace the engine oil and oil filter:
Regularly replace the engine oil and oil filter according to the engine's working hours or the manufacturer's recommendations. Generally speaking, the engine oil needs to be replaced every 50-100 hours of work. When replacing the engine oil, choose a high-quality engine oil that is suitable for the engine model.
Check the air filter:
The air filter is essential for the normal operation of the engine. Regularly check whether the air filter is blocked. If the filter element is found to be dirty, it should be cleaned or replaced in time. Usually, it needs to be checked every 20-30 hours of work.
Spark plug maintenance:
Regularly check the electrode wear and carbon deposits of the spark plug. If the electrode is severely worn or there is too much carbon deposits, it will affect the engine's ignition performance. Generally, the spark plug can be cleaned every 100-200 hours of work, or replaced according to the actual wear of the spark plug.
Trowel component maintenance
Trowel maintenance:
Regularly check the degree of wear of the tiller. When the blade wear of the spatula exceeds a certain limit (such as 2-3 mm), the spatula should be replaced in time. At the same time, during use, the spatula can be properly lubricated to reduce wear.
Pad maintenance:
Check the flatness and balance of the pad. If the pad is deformed, it will affect the polishing effect and needs to be corrected or replaced in time. At the same time, pay attention to whether the connection part of the pad is loose or worn.
Tire maintenance:
Check the tire pressure regularly to ensure that the tire pressure meets the requirements. Generally, the tire pressure of the driving trowel is maintained at about 2-3 atmospheres. At the same time, check the wear of the tire. If the tire is found to be damaged or bulging, the tire should be replaced in time.
Steering system and transmission system maintenance:
Regularly check the flexibility and accuracy of the steering system, and lubricate the steering shaft, steering knuckle and other components. For the transmission system, check the tightness of the transmission chain or belt. If it is too loose or too tight, it needs to be adjusted. And check the wear of the chain or belt, if necessary, it should be replaced in time.
Long-term storage and maintenance
Cleaning and drying: Before storing the trowel for a long time, the machine should be thoroughly cleaned, including the machine body, trowel plate, spatula and other parts. Make sure the surface of the machine is dry to avoid rust. The machine can be placed in a well-ventilated place for natural drying.
Rust-proof treatment:
Anti-rust treatment is performed on the metal parts of the machine. A layer of anti-rust oil can be applied on the metal surface, especially on the spatula, trowel plate, screws and other parts that are prone to rust.
Battery maintenance (if it is an electric trowel):
For electric driving trowels, pay attention to the maintenance of the battery during long-term storage. Store the battery after fully charging it, and charge and discharge the battery once every period of time (such as one month) to maintain the battery activity. At the same time, the battery should be stored in a dry and cool place to avoid moisture or overheating.
Storage environment:
Choose a suitable storage environment, preferably a dry, ventilated indoor space that avoids direct sunlight. If stored outdoors, use facilities such as awnings to prevent the machine from being eroded by rain and exposed to the sun.

How to change the concrete laser leveling wheels
For the concrete laser leveling, the tire is the necessary factor to walk, is an important accessory of the equipment. Once there is a problem with the tire of the laser leveling machine, it will directly cause the equipment to fail to function properly. The Method Of Quick Tire Replacement 1.Starting the machine, look for a relatively flat open field, press down the boom lift rod, use the boom support to remove the front wheel off the ground, and then support the flash bridge close to the flat tire side, and wedge the rear wheel (must work closely with the driver to avoid personal injury). 2, the use of crowbar and other tools, remove the bezel and lock ring and then check whether the tire liner and the outer surface of the rim is adhesion (the tire use time is longer, the liner and the outer surface of the rim can be adhesion). If the support can be removed, so that the machine in a short distance slow back and forth until the liner is separated from the outer surface of the rim; Then, the front wheels are back up. 3, the internal and outer tire of the relative position of the mark, in order to find, remove foreign objects and repair tires. 4, using the crowbar and other tools, the tire from the rim to remove. Note that the action should be gentle with the tacit understanding, to avoid being hit by tires, and to protect the valve nozzle. 5.After the outer tire is injured by nails and other slender foreign bodies, if the surface does not have a significant opening or the wound is small, then the tire can continue to be used, if the opening is large, must be repaired (because the machine is operated, the tire is crushed and frictiond, a long time will damage the inner tube, even the opening is larger and larger, the inner tube protrudes, resulting in tire scrapping). 6. If the new inner tube, the bolts at the bottom of the valve nozzle must be tightened to prevent leakage, and then remove the foreign body from the inner cavity of the outer tube and sprinkle it with appropriate talcum powder, applied evenly. In order to make the liner and the inner and outer tire tight, after loading the inner tube should be properly inflated for the inner tube, and then stuffed into the pad. 7, the tire mounted on the rim, installed lock ring, bezel; 8, with the car air compressor to the tire inflatable. 9, press down the boom lift rod, take out the laser leveling machine bracket; Shandong Vanse Machinery has large, medium, small, various models of laser concrete flatflating machine, suitable for large-scale workshop plant.

Whether it is winter or summer, the use of laser leveling machines is indispensable for road construction. In the summer, the use of leveling machines may cause some parts inside the machine to overheat due to the increase in temperature, thus affecting the leveling effect of the laser leveling machine. In order to improve the use value of the equipment and improve work efficiency, we need to do a good job of temperature control during the operation of the laser leveling machine. First of all, controlling the temperature of the laser leveling machine is one of the keys to ensure the quality of leveling. When leveling, the equipment should meet the requirements of relevant standards according to the asphalt type, grade, consistency, ambient temperature, leveling thickness, etc. Secondly, when the construction temperature of highways and roads is lower than 10℃ and the construction temperature of other grades of roads is lower than 5℃, it is not suitable for leveling. If leveling work is required, the temperature of the road leveling machine should be increased, and there should be low-temperature leveling requirements that meet the regulations. The material transporter should have insulation measures, and high-precision leveling machines should be used as much as possible to start paving, and the trade plate should be heated and leveled immediately after the pressure is applied to shorten the length of the pressure. Remember that leveling should meet the requirements of relevant standards based on asphalt type, grade, consistency, ambient temperature, leveling thickness, etc., so that it is relatively simple and easy to control the temperature. Mastering the performance characteristics of the laser leveling machine will help us do a good job of temperature control. (1) The leveling principle of the laser leveling machine is to use advanced laser technology, closed-loop control technology and high hydraulic system, and realize it under the automatic control of the computer. This is its outstanding feature different from other floor construction processes. (2) The leveling principle of the leveling machine is to rely on the hydraulically driven leveling head, cooperate with the laser system and computer control system to complete the leveling work while automatically leveling. The leveling head is equipped with an integrated scraper, vibrator and leveling plate, which integrates all leveling, leveling, vibration and compaction work into one, and completes it at one time. The computer control system automatically adjusts the elevation in real time 10 times per second, and the vibration frequency of the balanced vibrator reaches 3000 times/minute. (3) The laser transmitter used to control the ground elevation is arranged independently, so that the floor elevation is not controlled by the template and no cumulative error will be generated. (4) The laser leveling machine can also automatically control the longitudinal and transverse slopes, which is also completed by the laser system, computer system, hydraulic system, and mechanical system. For complex-shaped ground with high requirements such as drainage, a three-dimensional special-shaped ground processing system can also be selected to achieve it. The above is the relevant knowledge told by the manufacturer. We hope that through our narration, you can understand the temperature control method of the laser leveling machine during the construction process, and hope that your equipment can run smoothly and correctly. If you have any questions, please contact us in time. We look forward to cooperating with you.Why has the concrete laser leveling machine become the mainstream leveling equipment?
Why has the concrete laser leveling machine become the mainstream leveling equipment? Concrete laser leveling machine is usually used in large-area floor construction, the ground elevation is easy to control, and the error of ground flatness is extremely small; due to the use of laser point alignment, the entire floor only needs 1-2 reference point elevations, which can reduce many factors. The error caused by the benchmark points. The laser transmitter is arranged independently, and the floor elevation is always controlled by the plane formed by the rotating beam emitted by the laser transmitter. As long as the laser transmitter is not disturbed, no matter where the concrete laser leveling machine goes, it can ensure the smoothness after paving. The overall elevation of the ground is not affected, so that large-area one-time paving can be realized in the floor construction, and the levelness and flatness of the entire floor can be guaranteed. The elevation of the concrete laser leveling machine is controlled by the laser measurement and control system in real time. There is no need to pull the control line for leveling, and there is no need for supporting side formwork to control the ground elevation, thus avoiding the vibration caused by the formwork (channel steel) during the construction process. The elevation error also reduces the elevation error caused by the traditional artificial block formwork. Now in some precision instruments, equipment production factories, aircraft manufacturing and maintenance workshops, etc., the quality of the floor is very high. It is mainly reflected in the high requirements on the flatness of the floor, and the floor surface is required to be wear-resistant, durable in use, and the maintenance cycle is extended. For example, in some large-scale foreign-invested logistics warehouses, in order to make full use of the land, the shelves in the warehouse are stacked very high, and some even reach tens of meters. The center of gravity is skewed and unstable, and the impact during driving will cause the forklift to shake, and there is a danger of the cargo being scattered or the forklift overturning. At the same time, the impact of the bumps of multiple forklifts on the ground will cause an earthquake effect, which is very unsafe for high-level cargo stacking. . Floor hollowing, cracking, and non-wear resistance will increase the number of floor maintenance, increase floor maintenance costs, and cause downtime losses; floor cracking will increase maintenance costs, and may also lead to abandonment or reduced utilization. For high-precision instruments and equipment production lines, if the floor is uneven, it will affect the installation of the equipment, and the gap between the equipment base and the ground may cause slight vibration during the operation of the equipment, which not only affects the life of the equipment, but also affects the product quality. For the above-mentioned floors with special requirements, especially large-scale entire floors, traditional construction techniques and methods are difficult to meet the requirements. For example, in terms of construction techniques, advanced construction equipment is used: concrete laser leveling machine, double-disc grinding machine , Dry cutting can not only shorten the construction period, but also ensure the construction quality to a large extent. This high-grade ground can guarantee normal use for more than 20 years, which can greatly reduce the use and maintenance costs. With the increase of large-area and high-quality floor projects such as modern industrial plants, convention centers, squares, airports, etc., the application of concrete laser leveling machines in large-area floor construction will increase.
