90% of SMEs fall into maintenance pitfalls that seem cost-effective but actually accelerate equipment aging. Correct these misconceptions immediately.
Misconception 1: More oil is better → Excess oil increases consumption, causes oil-laden exhaust, and accelerates component wear.
Misconception 2: Substituting generic oil for specialized oil → Specialized oil resists high temperatures and wear, while generic oil oxidizes easily, cutting lifespan by 50%.
Misconception 3: Operating without logging → Lack of data hinders fault tracing; maintaining records enables early detection of 80% of potential issues.
Correct Practices: Maintain optimal oil levels, use OEM-specified oil, record daily pressure/temperature/operating hours, and commission quarterly in-depth inspections by professional agencies.
