Winter Construction, No Worries! Hengwang’s 5 Tips to Keep Your Bulldozer Running at Full Power, Easily Leveling Frozen Ground!

Winter is here, and your bulldozer is "stalling," delaying your project? Don’t worry! With years of construction experience, Hengwang Construction Machinery has compiled 5 practical techniques to ensure your bulldozer maintains strong performance in low temperatures, with no drop in efficiency!

Tip 1: Scientific Cold Start to Protect Engine Lifespan

Hengwang’s Professional Advice:

Phased Warm-Up:

In cold regions: Let the engine idle for 3-5 minutes after starting, then begin work once the water temperature rises gradually.

In extremely cold regions: Let the engine idle for 5 minutes, then run at medium speed for 3-5 minutes before working (adjust warm-up time based on water temperature rise).

Oil Selection: Use Hengwang-recommended low-viscosity winter-grade engine oil for better low-temperature flow.

Battery Care: Regularly check electrolyte levels and maintain sufficient charge.

▶ Result: Reduces cold-start engine wear by 50%.

Tip 2: Anti-Freeze Treatment for Key Components to Prevent Breakdowns

Hengwang’s Practical Solutions:

Fuel-Water Separator: Drain water daily to prevent ice blockages.

Hydraulic System: Use Hengwang’s special low-temperature anti-freeze hydraulic oil for smooth operation.
