Driving guide for low flat semi-trailer
- Precise control of the steering wheel
Booster pumps, as frequent users of vehicles, their loss rate cannot be ignored. When operating the steering wheel, the driver should avoid rotating it to the limit position, but slightly back when approaching the limit to reduce the continuous tight state of the booster pump, so as to effectively improve its durability.
- Harmonious coexistence of tire and curb
Although tips about tire care have become quite common, the vulnerability of the tire side still requires special attention. When going up the steps or over the curb, the owner should pay special attention to protect the side of the tire to avoid not touching the front at the same time, the side is not scratched. A side injury is more likely to cause tire damage than a frontal impact.
- Gentle use of water nozzle in winter
In the winter low temperature environment, when the nozzle is frozen, the owner should avoid forcing the spray of glass water, so as not to damage the pump. It is recommended to wait for the vehicle to start, and then spray water after the water nozzle thaws naturally as the vehicle temperature rises.
Similarly, for the wiper, the wiper in the frozen state cannot play its cleaning role.
- Correct use of hand brake
Senior drivers suggest that when controlling speed, we should make more use of gear change, predict in advance, shift diligently, and reduce the use of brakes. Especially in downhill, the use of engine braking, occasionally supplemented by foot braking, to avoid stepping on the brake downhill for a long time to protect the brake pad.
Make sure the hand brake is fully released before the vehicle starts. Driving with hand brakes is a driving habit that wears out the brake shoes extremely.
- Proper operation of the combined switch
Although the flashing light of the semi-trailer can improve the confidence of the owner, frequent operation of the combined switch may increase the risk of damage. The moment the switch is switched on, the current through the contact will increase significantly, if operated in the semi-engaged state, the spark may burn the contact.
Therefore, moderate operation of the combined switch, avoid frequent switching, help to extend its service life.
