Tips to solve the unexpected transmission issue of motor graders
The heavy construction equipment are prone to some major or other minor problems. The issues that occur in the heavy construction equipment can be attributed to more than one reason. You have to make sure that your machines are serviced at regular intervals on all the major and minor factors that ultimately leads to critical issues. Other than that, heavy construction machine of any popular construction equipment brand can develop issues over the time. For this reason, regular maintenance is very important and you can’t skip this significant aspect. Though the top heavy equipment companies work very hard to manufacture those machines that require less maintenance and service, but it does not make any sense if any person demands an equipment that should work forever on the construction site without the need of any maintenance or repair service. It is just not possible. It has been witnessed that a lot of heavy equipment, especially motor graders have issues with their transmission system which is considered to be one of the most vital organs in the heavy equipment anatomy.
The driver experiences different kinds of issues with the transmission system. The most common problems like the gears are not working properly after some time or even if you change the gears of the motor grader to increase the speed of the used construction equipment, it just does not move fast on the terrain. Well, when a person is experiencing this sort of transmission issue, then he should immediately check the oil quality if the oil quality is not good enough, it is time to change the fuel/oil. Most of the people, who are using Caterpillar 140H motor grader equipment usually, experience this problem. The change in the gear or replace the gear does not assist the machine to move faster on the construction site. The ultimate solution to this issue is to remove the side covers of the motor grader and clean all the trans-electrical connectors and hoses with the help of the solenoids. At times, the majority of the people are not able to move the gear system beyond a certain point. Most probably they are not getting the enough voltage in the coil system which leads to this issue. The solution could be changing the coil system and after that, you should check it works or not. Most of the time the coil does not work due to excessive heat in the internal system and it causes the transmission issue.
The other perfect solution is that when you experience problems with the transmission of Cat 140H motor grader equipment, then you should call up the service center of the Caterpillar Company and ask to send their qualified engineers who can fix the problem. However, if you are working in a place where the Caterpillar Company can’t send their professional engineers, then you can try different things to solve the issue by going through the user instruction manual. It is also suitable that you can take the help of a qualified mechanic who knows how to deal with the problem.
The Caterpillar 140H motor graders are costly equipment that’s why they rarely encounter major problems, but if the problem is related to the transmission system, so don’t waste your time and repair it as soon as possible.
