Summary
The reasons why the steering wheel of the skid steer loader becomes heavier and heavier include the following aspects:
Insufficient tire air pressure: Insufficient tire air pressure will lead to an increase in the contact area between the tire and the ground, thus increasing the driving resistance and making the steering wheel rotation become heavy. Under normal circumstances, the air pressure of the forklift tires should be maintained within the prescribed range.
Insufficient lubrication of steering system: lack of sufficient lubrication of steering tie rod ball head, steering knuckle and other parts will increase friction, resulting in heavy steering wheel. Regular lubrication and maintenance of these parts and the use of appropriate lubricating oil or grease can effectively reduce friction.
Decrease in booster oil or quality: booster oil plays a key role in lubricating the steering wheel in the process of turning, insufficient oil or booster oil deterioration, pollution will affect the effect of booster, resulting in difficulty in turning the steering wheel. The level and quality of power-assisting oil should be checked in time and replenished or replaced.
Wear or damage of mechanical parts: Wear of steering shaft, steering knuckle and other parts will lead to larger clearance and increase steering resistance. Parts that are badly worn need to be replaced in a timely manner to ensure the normal operation of the steering system.
Hydraulic System Problems: Malfunctions in the hydraulic system can also lead to a heavy steering wheel. For example, problems such as blockage of the suction line, excessive viscosity of the hydraulic fluid, and insufficient oil supply to the steering oil pump can affect the normal operation of the steering system.
Solutions to these problems include:
Checking and adjusting tire pressure: Make sure the tire pressure is within the specified range, which can be measured using an air pressure gauge and inflated in a timely manner.
Regularly lubricate the steering system: lubricate and maintain the steering tie rod ball joints, steering knuckles and other parts, and use the appropriate lubricant or grease.
Check and maintain the power-assisting system: replenish or replace qualified power-assisting oil in time to ensure that the power-assisting system works properly.
Replace worn mechanical parts: for steering shafts, steering knuckles and other parts that are badly worn, they should be replaced in time.
Clean the hydraulic system: check and clean the hydraulic system to ensure that it is unobstructed.
