As a crucial piece of construction equipment, road rollers require regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance. Below are eight key maintenance practices for road rollers:

1. Gearbox Maintenance

The road roller gearbox should be cleaned at least once per quarter using 20-grade gear oil. Inspect seals and mounting bolts to prevent leaks and loosening.

2. Hydraulic System Maintenance

Check the road roller hydraulic system’s filters and connections regularly. Use 68-grade anti-wear hydraulic oil, and clean or replace the filter every 500 hours.

3. Vibrating Drum Maintenance

Replace the CD-grade 30 diesel oil in the road roller vibrating drum every 1,000 hours. Lubricate the travel bearings with calcium-based grease every 20 days.

4. Clutch Maintenance

Adjust the road roller clutch release lever clearance to 0.4-0.7mm to prevent wear from partial engagement.

5. Side Drive Maintenance

Clean the road roller side drive gears regularly and apply calcium-based grease to protect them.

6. Battery Maintenance

Keep the road roller battery clean and avoid discharging it for more than 24hours. Take extra precautions in winter to prevent freezing.

7. Diesel Engine Maintenance

Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for the road roller engine and use the recommended lubricants.

8. Cleaning & Storage

After operation, thoroughly clean the road roller. For long-term storage, drain the water tank and apply rust-proof coatings.

By following these road roller maintenance steps, you can significantly extend its lifespan, improve efficiency, and reduce repair costs while ensuring safe operation.
