ISUZU Concrete Mixer Trucks require regular rest and maintenance to operate efficiently. Long term operation requires systematic care, especially for core components and vulnerable parts that require regular inspection and replacement.
Correct engine maintenance
The engine is the heart of a vehicle, providing power for the entire operation of the vehicle. Regular maintenance is crucial to ensure its optimal performance. Here is an economically efficient six step method to protect engine health:
1. Break in period
Proper running in is crucial for extending engine life. New and overhauled engines must be run in according to the manufacturer's specifications before entering regular service.
2. Clean fuel, water, and air
Diesel fuel must be kept clean because impurities can accelerate the wear of precision components, leading to oil leakage, pressure drop, and even blockage. Similarly, dusty air can increase the wear of cylinders, pistons, and piston rings. Contaminated cooling water can cause blockages, reduce heat dissipation, deteriorate lubrication, and significantly shorten the lifespan of the engine. Regularly cleaning the exterior of the engine is also important for preventing corrosion.
3. Adequate supply of fuel, water, and air
Insufficient or interrupted diesel or air supply may result in difficulty starting, incomplete combustion, power loss, or engine stalling. Insufficient lubricating oil can lead to severe wear and even combustion of components. Lack of cooling water can lead to overheating, reduced power, accelerated wear, and shortened service life.
4. Inspection and adjustment
Regularly check and adjust valve clearance, valve timing, fuel injection advance angle, injection pressure, and ignition timing. These measures help to keep the engine in optimal condition, improve fuel efficiency, and extend its lifespan.
5. Lubrication and operational practices
Lubricate all bushings and friction components before operation. After starting, let the engine warm up until the water temperature reaches 40-50 ° C, and then load it again. Avoid running for long periods of time under overload or low speed. Before stopping, reduce the load and let the engine run at low speed for a period of time.
By following these guidelines, operators can improve the durability and reliability of ISUZU Concrete Mixer Trucks, ensure efficient performance, and reduce long-term maintenance costs.
