How to maintain a road roller in a timely manner after it has been overloaded

May 29, 2026

I. Immediately Stop the Machine and Allow it to Cool Naturally

Do not shut off the engine immediately after overload. Let it idle for 5-10 minutes to avoid thermal shock damage to the turbocharger and oil circuit.

Wait at least 30 minutes for natural cooling, ensuring the coolant temperature is <85°C and the hydraulic oil temperature is <60°C before proceeding with further operations.

II. Replace Core Fluids to Restore System Performance

Replace engine oil and filter: Overload causes high-temperature oxidation of the engine oil, resulting in loss of lubrication; it must be completely replaced.

Replace hydraulic oil and filter element: To prevent deteriorated fluids from causing valve sticking or pump wear.

Check transmission fluid condition: For traction impact rollers, ensure the gear oil is not deteriorated and top up to the standard level.

III. Focus on Inspecting Vulnerable Components

Vibration bearing: Use a stethoscope to check for any abnormal "humming" or "clicking" noises. Replace immediately if any abnormality is found.

Steel Wheel Welds: Visually inspect or use an ultrasonic flaw detector to check for microscopic cracks at the wheel hub connection and reinforcing rib areas.

Shock Absorber: Check for cracks in the rubber blocks and oil leaks from the hydraulic buffer cylinder to ensure effective damping.

IV. Comprehensive Cleaning and System Reset: Clean oil, dirt, and other contaminants from the radiator, engine compartment, and steel wheels to ensure efficient heat dissipation and operational balance.

Reset instrument parameters, clear non-fatal fault codes, and confirm that the EMS system has returned to normal monitoring status.
