       In order to extend the service life of underground engineering vehicles, the following are some key maintenance strategies and operational steps:
       1. Regular inspection
       Daily inspection: Check the liquid level, external leaks, and performance during start-up and operation before operation.
       Weekly inspection: Check the condition of the cooling system, filters, and the integrity of external components.
       Monthly inspection: Conduct in-depth system assessments, including liquid analysis, temperature monitoring system checks, and internal component inspections through access panels.
       2. Liquid maintenance plan
       Liquid replacement interval: Determine the liquid replacement interval based on operating conditions rather than standard recommendations to achieve optimal protection.
       Liquid Analysis Plan: Track pollution levels, additive consumption, and wear metal concentrations to help predict component failures and optimize liquid replacement intervals.
       Using high-quality synthetic liquids: providing better protection under harsh conditions.
       3. Operator training and best practices
       Operational skills: The training plan should emphasize smooth acceleration and deceleration, selecting appropriate gears based on load conditions, and identifying early warning signals.
       Understanding the impact of driving technology: Operators who understand how driving technology affects transmission system wear will make better decisions, thereby extending component life.
       4. Component monitoring and replacement
       Monitor components that are prone to wear, such as tires and bearings, which are frequently worn out.
       Develop a maintenance plan: replacing these components before they are damaged can save time and repair costs.

       5. Maintenance of lubrication and cooling systems
       Lubrication system: Ensure good maintenance of the lubrication system, reduce friction between moving parts, thereby reducing wear and extending machine life.
       Cooling system: Ensure that the cooling system is working properly and prevent equipment from overheating, which may cause equipment failure.
       6. Properly store and handle equipment
       Storage conditions: When the device is not in use, it should be stored in a dry and clean area to avoid corrosion, rust, and other environmental damage.
       Handling equipment: Handle equipment carefully to avoid physical damage or component misalignment.
       7. Detailed record of maintenance activities
       Maintenance records: Detailed recording of all maintenance activities is crucial for tracking equipment performance and planning future maintenance.
       Accurate recording: helps to make better decisions and manage resources more effectively.
       8. Observe the break in period
       Reasonable use: Use the Underground loader reasonably during the running in period to avoid excessive use.
       Timely adjustment: When worn parts are found, adjust the operating method in a timely manner.
       Avoiding incorrect operations: New drivers should be familiar with the operating methods to avoid incorrect operations.
       By implementing these maintenance strategies, the service life of underground engineering vehicles can be significantly extended, downtime can be reduced, and operating costs can be saved.
