Pro Tips for LiuGong CLG 850H Monthly Inspection

  • Schedule Strategically: Plan monthly inspections during low-activity periods to minimize operational disruption. The CLG 850H requires approximately 2-3 hours for thorough monthly inspection.
  • Predictive Maintenance Focus: Use monthly inspections to analyze wear patterns and predict component replacement needs. Track measurements month-over-month to identify trends before failures occur.
  • Water Separator Priority: Monthly inspection of the diesel fuel system's water separator is critical. Construction and warehouse environments often expose equipment to moisture that can severely damage diesel injection systems.
  • Fork Wear Documentation: Photograph and measure fork heel thickness monthly. The CLG 850H's heavy-duty capacity means fork wear can accelerate rapidly with improper use - document for warranty and safety compliance.
  • Hydraulic System Analysis: Monthly is ideal for hydraulic oil sampling. Look for metal particles indicating internal wear, and check for darkening that suggests overheating issues.
  • Digital Documentation: Leverage the Oxmaint APP to capture inspection data digitally, automatically calculate wear rates, and generate predictive maintenance schedules based on your CLG 850H's specific usage patterns.
