In small and medium-sized projects such as road construction and house building, concrete mixer trucks are gradually being replaced by self-loading concrete mixer trucks. In the previous article Something You Should Know about Self-loading Concrete Mixer Truck, we talked about the characteristics of the self-loading concrete mixer truck, one of which is easy to operate. Even so, we still need to pay attention to it during operation. Below we will describe the operation precautions of the self-loading concrete mixer truck.
 


1: When operating the self-loading concrete mixer truck, the driver’s heels should be close to the floor of the cab. The foot pedal and the accelerator pedal should be kept parallel, and the accelerator pedal should be slowly depressed.
 
2: When the self-loading concrete mixer truck is working, the throttle valve should always remain stable. Under normal conditions, the throttle opening is about 70%.
 
3: When operating the self-loading concrete mixer truck, the foot pedal should be separated from the brake pedal and placed flat on the floor of the cab.
 
Self-loading concrete mixer trucks often work on uneven construction sites. If you keep your foot on the brake pedal, your body will move up and down and you will inadvertently step on the brake pedal. Normally, it is necessary to control the state of the engine and transmission gear by controlling the deceleration of the throttle valve. This not only avoids frequent braking and overheating of the braking system, but also improves the convenience of the self-loading concrete mixer truck.
 
4: When operating the self-loading concrete mixer truck, especially when operating the bucket, it is necessary to regularly lift the lift rod and the bucket operating lever upward while the throttle valve is stable to fill the bucket with materials.
 
5: The tires are not allowed to skid. When the self-loading concrete mixer truck is working, when it encounters resistance, the accelerator is suddenly stepped on, and the tires often slip. This phenomenon is usually caused by improper operation by the driver. It will increase fuel consumption and damage the tires.
 
The above are the precautions for the operation of self-loading concrete mixer trucks. If you need more knowledge about self-loading concrete mixer trucks, keep an eye on the website https://www.talenetmix.com/companynews/.
