The maintenance and upkeep of drilling rigs are key to ensuring their normal operation and extending their service life. Regular inspection and replacement of lubricating oil are important steps in maintaining the drilling rig, as it requires a large amount of lubricating oil during operation. According to the frequency of use and working conditions of the drilling rig, a suitable plan for replacing lubricating oil can be formulated, and the replacement cycle specified by the manufacturer should be strictly followed for operation. In addition, cleaning and lubricating the chain is also essential because the chain bears a huge workload, and regular maintenance can ensure its normal operation and extend its service life.

The maintenance of the drilling rig also includes regular inspection and replacement of filters, inspection of electrical systems, inspection of cutting tools and drill bits, cleaning of the exterior of the drilling rig, and maintenance of the cooling system. The filters in the hydraulic and air systems need to be regularly inspected and replaced to maintain the cleanliness and performance of the system. The inspection of the electrical system ensures the normal operation and safety of the circuit, while the regular inspection and replacement of cutting tools and drill bits are related to the working quality of the drilling rig. Cleaning the external surface of the drilling rig can prevent damage from dust and corrosive substances, while regular inspection and maintenance of the cooling system can help maintain the normal operating temperature of the drill bit and tools.
Following operating procedures is a prerequisite for ensuring the normal and safe operation of the drilling rig. Operators should receive professional training and operate the drilling rig according to the requirements in the operation manual to ensure its safe operation
