These machines are used to lift and carry huge amounts of loads across rough and uneven terrain for hours resulting in the loader taking quite a pounding. So, in order to extend the machine\u2019s service life, the operator needs to practice proper maintenance. The following are a few things that will help improve the productivity of your loader and maximize the machine\u2019s uptime.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.my-equipment.com\/blog\/2023\/01\/maximize-wheel-loader-productivity-and-uptime-with-regular-maintenance\/#Pre_and_Post_Operation_Checks\" >Pre and Post Operation Checks<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.my-equipment.com\/blog\/2023\/01\/maximize-wheel-loader-productivity-and-uptime-with-regular-maintenance\/#Make_Use_of_the_Technological_Advancements_Available\" >Make Use of the Technological Advancements Available<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.my-equipment.com\/blog\/2023\/01\/maximize-wheel-loader-productivity-and-uptime-with-regular-maintenance\/#Never_Overlook_the_Basics_of_Maintenance\" >Never Overlook the Basics of Maintenance<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pre_and_Post_Operation_Checks\"><\/span>Pre and Post Operation Checks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is extremely important to conduct a walk around inspection, both before and after operation on a daily basis. You should make sure that there is nothing wrong with the machine and its fluids and filters before starting work. If you spot any issues deal with them immediately instead of letting them become more serious. You should also look for any chips and cracks in the window, and make sure that the glass is clear and free of dirt. It is important to ensure that the operator\u2019s visibility is not impaired in any way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During your walk around inspection, you should also look at the machine\u2019s rearview cameras, backup alarms, running lights, and safety belts. Remember that post operation checks are just as important as pre operation inspection rounds. Usually, it is the best time to spot any damage that the machine might have incurred during the shift.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Make_Use_of_the_Technological_Advancements_Available\"><\/span>Make Use of the Technological Advancements Available<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nowadays wheel loaders are more technologically advanced than they were before.
