Applications
Suitable Parts: 307E2/308E2 excavators, 242D/246D The mounting positions for components such as the control panel, trim panels, and interior panels in the skid steer loader cab utilize a flexible snap-fit ​​structure for quick and easy fixation, preventing loosening and abnormal noise caused by vibration.

Application Scenarios: Suitable for prolonged high-frequency vibration operations such as excavation and loading, including continuous excavation and shoveling operations. It ensures the stability of the control panel, preventing loosening that could affect operation, reducing noise interference, and improving driving comfort and safety.

Compatible Use: Uses with control panel and trim panel mounting brackets. The snaps provide flexible locking force, while the brackets transmit the fixing force, adapting to long-term operation needs and preventing component fatigue and loosening.

Installation and Maintenance Points:

Installation: Clean the mounting holes and confirm that the snap-fit ​​size matches the mounting hole. Align the snap-fit ​​with the mounting hole, press the snap feet to allow them to elastically retract and embed into the hole, ensuring the snap-fit ​​is fully engaged without loosening or jamming. Check for even locking force and no abnormal deformation.

Maintenance: Check the snap-fit ​​every 200 hours for aging, breakage, or weakened locking force. If surface cracks or insufficient locking force are found, replace immediately to prevent panel fixation failure.

Replacement: Disassemble the old part to check for wear on the mounting holes. If the wear exceeds 0.5mm, it needs to be repaired. Before installing the new part, check the spacing between the clips and the diameter of the clips to ensure that they are consistent with the original specifications. After installation, test the panel to ensure that there is no looseness or abnormal noise.
