The truck can't stop when it reaches the mountain: Five truck brake maintenance measures to help you prevent problems beforehand (Part 2)
The seven emergency measures we mentioned earlier for brake failure in trucks are a last resort and considered a less favorable option. However, some regular vehicle maintenance measures that are within reach are essential. Regular maintenance is the key to fundamentally preventing brake failures and keeping drivers safe from life-threatening dangers. Today, the editor has compiled five truck brake maintenance measures for everyone, so that we can fundamentally prevent truck brake failures.
1. Regular maintenance: Frequently check whether the brake master cylinder, wheel cylinders, air reservoir and pipelines, and the shaft ends of the steering tie rods are functioning properly. Any air leaks or sticking in the steering should be repaired or replaced immediately. During driving, always pay attention to changes in the air pressure on the dashboard.
2. Avoid improper operation: Incorrect vehicle operation can cause mechanical failure. When descending long slopes, shift to a lower gear to reduce speed and use the engine to help control the vehicle's speed. Minimize brake usage to prevent the brake pads from overheating, and use intermittent braking rather than pressing the brake abruptly.
3. Do not seriously overload: Increasing the total weight of the vehicle increases its momentum, which can easily lead to brake failure. Overloaded vehicles, due to the increased total weight, have greater momentum. When driving an overloaded vehicle, you must go slowly and not risk your life just to save time.
4. Reasonable choice of auxiliary braking: Exhaust brakes have become standard equipment for most cargo vehicles and should be used in conjunction while driving.
5. Do not use inferior parts: The service life and braking performance of genuine brake drums are greatly superior to 'aftermarket' products. Using inferior products can cause the brake drums to crack, break, thin, or fail to cool sufficiently after frequent braking, leading to a decrease in braking performance.
