Solutions for Common Machinery Problems

We've compiled some common issues and our expert advice to help you keep your equipment in top condition. At Growshine , we don't just sell parts; we provide solutions. Here are a few examples of key components and their functions:

• A Glow Plug is an essential part of the engine's pre-heating system, helping diesel engines start in cold weather. It's located in the combustion chamber. Example: Isuzu 4JG2 Glow Plug Y719RS. In Russian: Свеча накаливания.
• A Pressure Sensor measures the pressure of a fluid or gas and converts it into an electrical signal. It is often found in hydraulic systems, fuel rails, or oil systems. Example: Caterpillar C6.4 engine oil pressure sensor. In Russian: Датчик давления.
• A Turbocharger uses exhaust gases to spin a turbine, which compresses air and forces it into the engine, increasing power and efficiency. It is mounted on the exhaust manifold. Example: Komatsu PC400-8 turbocharger. In Russian: Турбокомпрессор.
• A Solenoid Valve is an electromechanically operated valve that controls the flow of fluid or gas. It's used in hydraulic and fuel systems. Example: JCB JS220LC hydraulic pump solenoid valve. In Russian: Электромагнитный клапан.
• An Oil Seal is a component that seals lubricants in a system, preventing them from leaking out. They are typically found on rotating or reciprocating shafts. Example: Caterpillar D5K track roller oil seal. In Russian: Сальник.

A common problem with heavy machinery is an overheated engine. This can be caused by a faulty water temperature sensor. For example, on a Caterpillar E320D2 excavator, if the temperature sensor part number 2848A127 fails, it may not accurately report the engine temperature to the ECU, leading to overheating. The solution is to check the sensor's wiring for any damage, and if the wiring is fine, replace the sensor with a high-quality alternative from Growshine International .

Important Tips for Maintaining Your Equipment

• Why is my excavator's hydraulic pump making a strange noise? This could be a sign of a failing hydraulic pump or low hydraulic fluid levels. It's crucial to check your fluid levels and inspect the hydraulic pump for any visible damage. We supply high-quality hydraulic pump repair kits and components to solve this.
• How do I know if my glow plugs need to be replaced? Common signs include difficulty starting the engine, misfires, or black smoke from the exhaust, especially in cold weather. Our extensive range of engine glow plugs can help restore your engine's performance.
• What causes a heavy truck's air compressor to fail? Failure can result from a lack of proper lubrication, worn-out piston rings, or a damaged crankshaft. We offer complete air compressor repair kits to address these issues.
