Tuning and maintenance of the Volvo L90G loader

Keeping your Volvo L90G Loader in optimal condition is essential to ensure its performance and durability. Below are the key points you should check regularly to keep your machine in excellent condition.

What elements should we take into account?

We will list all those points to check to have your Volvo L90G loader in perfect working order.

Hydraulics and Transmission

We will check the hydraulic system, making sure the oil is circulating properly.
We’ll inspect the differential locking system, which is crucial to maximizing traction.
We will ensure that the Automatic Gear Shift System (FAPS) works smoothly.
We will check the brake wear indicators.

Engine

We will carry out an exhaustive check of the turbo diesel engine, such as checking for possible leaks in the injection system.
We will check the fuel pump, tubes and hoses (are they free of leaks?), electrical connections of the injectors, cooled exhaust gas recirculation sensor and the particulate filter.
We will check the aftercooler line (clamps, hoses, etc.) so that no leaks are observed. A leak can cause a drastic loss of power.
As long as we have the necessary instruments, we will check the diesel particulate filters (DPF) and their correct operation.

Air conditioning and fuel efficiency

We will ensure the correct operation of the air conditioning system and monitor the warning indicators.
We will use the different work modes that the loader offers us to save fuel consumption.

Air Filter and Hydraulic Steering

We will inspect the air filter, both the pre-filter and the main filter, located on the top of the machine to ensure clean air flow.

We will verify the hydraulic steering system, we will check that it is free of leaks and that its operation is correct (for example that it does not shake during its activity).

Structure and Accessories

The axle supports are maintenance-free and designed for long life. Even so, it should be noted that the pivot shaft lubrication system works correctly.
We will ensure that the hydraulic cooling fan is properly controlled electronically and rotates only when necessary.

To facilitate maintenance tasks, the hood has a new design that opens electrically with a wide opening range.

Transmission and Brakes

We will review the single lever gearbox, the valves and the automatic gear change from 1 to 4.
We will check the brakes, including wear indicators and nitrogen accumulators.
We also ensure that the Contronic system activates automatic declutching when braking. It is important to check, always with the machine stopped, the braking system by applying the brakes for a minimum of 30 seconds).

Cabin and Safety

We will inspect the cabin, including monitors, heater and defroster, as well as the air vents on all windows.
We will check the seat suspension and seat belt.
The machine must be equipped with an emergency exit hammer to break the window if necessary.

Lifting and Hydraulics Cylinders

The lift cylinders, hydraulic pump, valves and hydraulic control levers must be visibly free of leaks.
We will verify the operation of the bucket positioner and the adjustable position indicator.

General Maintenance

We will check the levels of fuel, engine coolant, hydraulic oil, gearbox oil, engine oil and axle oil.
We will carry out regular maintenance, such as draining and filling the engine oil.
We will check the brake lines and system connections.

Exhaust System and Electrical System

We will check the exhaust system, especially possible sensor failures and possible intake air preheating failures.
We will check the electrical system, which includes:
- Alternator, battery disconnect switch, batteries, hour meter, horn, instrument panel, gearbox temperature, coolant temperature and instrument lighting.

Lighting System and Outdoor Equipment

We will check the lighting, which includes headlights, brake lights, taillights, turn signals, and halogen work lights (2 front and 2 rear).

This model of loader comes equipped with an important safety element, such as the rear camera, which we will periodically review to verify its correct operation.

We will check the condition of the fenders, the cabin fixings and the engine and gearbox sinemblocks. All protections must be in place.Maintaining a routine of regular inspection and maintenance of these points is essential to ensure optimal performance and prolong the life of your Volvo L90G. Follow Volvo’s recommended maintenance schedule and perform regular inspections to keep your machine in excellent condition.Do not hesitate to contact us for all the necessary spare parts for your machine atinfo@taopparts.com

Shall we talk about your upcoming tires?

Tires, those rubber circles that bring our vehicles and machinery to life, have a fascinating history that dates back centuries. From their beginnings as metal and wooden bands to modern high-tech designs, tires have undergone astonishing evolution.

In the construction and earthmoving sector, they are essential for machine mobility, providing stability in diverse and demanding terrains while bearing heavy loads.

That’s why tire reuse plays a fundamental role and has a highly positive impact on both the circular economy and environmental protection.

The importance of reusing

At Taop Parts, we believe that before disposing of a tire, there is a much more interesting option: recycling.

Tire reuse offers a sustainable solution that combines economic and environmental benefits. When we recycle tires, we reduce the demand for natural resources and prevent waste generation, thus contributing to environmental conservation.

Circular Economy and Tires

Tire recycling is a concrete example of the circular economy. Instead of following a linear model of production and consumption, where tires are discarded at the end of their life cycle, we believe in closing the loop and giving them a new life, thus restarting the cycle.

This involves not only the direct reuse of used tires but also the retreading process, which extends their lifespan and maximizes their value.

The Tire Retreading Process

Retreading is a fundamental process in tire recovery. It involves applying a new layer of rubber to the worn tire’s tread.

Before application, a rigorous inspection process is carried out to assess its retreadability. During the process, imperfections are eliminated, and damaged parts are replaced. Finally, a new layer of rubber is applied, giving the tire a new life and similar performance to a new tire.

The Most Commonly Used

Which tire to choose?

Firstly, we need to consider whether we want a radial or diagonal tire. At Taop Parts, we offer both models. But what are their main differences? Let’s take a look:

The main difference is the way they are built and their materials.

Diagonal tires consist of crossed layers that extend from bead to bead and are suitable for soft terrains without requiring as much traction.

On the other hand, radial tires have a structure with crossed layers from bead to tread on both sides, forming right angles with the tire’s axis, providing greater durability and traction.

At Taop Parts, the most commonly used tire is the radial tire due to its versatility. Here are some of the most popular models:

24.00R35

Size: 24 inches of nominal tread width and a 35-inch rim diameter.
Applications: Komatsu HD605-7 rigid dump truck.

23.5R25

Size: 23.5 inches of nominal tread width and a 25-inch rim diameter.
Applications: Komatsu WA380-5 wheel loader.

26.5R25

Size: 26.5 inches of nominal tread width and a 25-inch rim diameter.
Applications: Volvo A35E articulated dump truck.

29.5R25

Size: 29.5 inches of nominal tread width and a 25-inch rim diameter.
Applications: Komatsu WA500-6 wheel loader and Volvo L220E.

These tire models are subjected to extreme working conditions and constant wear. However, they can still be used in demanding applications.

To ensure their performance, Taop Parts conducts thorough inspections of the tires, including checking their height and overall casing condition. Opting for tire recycling makes a difference and helps build a more sustainable future in our industry.
