The summer of ordinary people is not the same as the summer of truck drivers. When you are at home in the office with air conditioning playing on the computer, truck drivers are outside to endure the heat and exposure. Not only that, but as summer approaches, the danger level of the profession skyrockets. To ensure safety, summer drivers should pay extra attention to the following questions!
Don't run the air conditioner for lengthy periods of time
The extreme temperature in summer is unbearable, although installing air conditioning in the cab can enjoy cool, but also be sure to pay attention to the improper use of air conditioning is not a small harm. Truck engines produce elevated levels of carbon monoxide when diesel fuel is not burned entirely. Because open air conditioning will close Windows, the driver in this environment for a long time back appears to have hypoxia symptoms, if it is on the road is prone to traffic accidents, if it is stopping to rest more likely to cause the driver's coma. Therefore, summer driving trucks do not turn on the air conditioning for a long time, remember to open the window occasionally ventilation.
Add electrolyte in time
Top semi trailer manufacturers claimed The battery is at the start of the engine or low speed when the engine ignition, if not correctly maintained, there will be no ignition situation. Because of the extreme summer temperatures, the water in the electrolyte evaporates particularly quickly. Therefore, when driving in summer, the capacity of the electrolyte should be checked once a week, the liquid level of the electrolyte should be observed, and added in time, so that the electrolyte can be maintained at a certain liquid level, so that the battery can maintain a good working condition.
Be vigilant against spontaneous combustion
Summer extreme temperatures are extremely easy to cause spontaneous combustion of vehicles, which a lot of elderly drivers also fear. Driving when the oil gauge is not bright, the engine is boiling, the vehicle emits odor and smoke must find a safe place to stop and check, because it is likely to be the precursor of spontaneous combustion. In order to prevent spontaneous combustion of trucks, card friends had better not alter the circuit, and frequently check whether the circuit aging situation. In addition, do not put flammable and explosive products such as lighters in the driver's room, and prepare a fire extinguisher in case of emergency.
Observe tire pressure in time
With summer coming, flat tires are a common problem for trucks. The cause of a blown tire is nearly due to unstable tire pressure, whether it is too low or too high, it is easy to lead to a blown tire. Especially at excessive speeds, a flat tire can be almost fatal. Therefore, as an experienced truck driver, make sure you check the tire pressure before you set out, and switch the tires that are too ancient.
In addition, summer is easy to get sleepy, card friends for their own life safety do not fatigue driving, driving safety is no tiny matter. It is not easy to drive a truck, but safety should always be the first priority.
