After the Carter excavator is newly purchased and put into use, it will go through an important run-in period. The break-in period is a critical stage for any machinery and equipment to ensure long-term stable operation and reduce the failure rate. For Carter excavators, the maintenance of their break-in period is particularly important, and the problem involving oil change is particularly prominent. Normally, the break-in period of the Carter excavator is generally set at 50-100 hours of initial operation. At this stage, it is recommended that the first oil change be done after 20-30 hours of operation, because the internal parts of the new machine will have tiny metal shavings during the initial operation, and premature replacement can effectively remove these impurities that can cause damage to the engine. The subsequent oil replacement should be carried out in strict accordance with the maintenance manual provided by the manufacturer, and the cycle may be adjusted according to the actual working conditions and different use environment. At the same time, in addition to paying attention to the oil replacement time, we should also pay attention to controlling the operating load during the run-in period, avoid long-term high-intensity continuous operation, and regularly check the indicators of the equipment to ensure that the excavator is well adapted and maintained during the run-in period. In summary, the oil change of the Carter excavator during the run-in period is not a one-time operation, but requires multiple and timely attention and execution to ensure that the excavator's performance is fully utilized and the service life is prolonged.
