Fire truck maintenance guide

Fire truck engine need regular maintenance in order to make the condition remained normal. Usually drivers tend to head for the maintenance of this matter is very large, because knowing that the car does not care to open soon, but very sad for the maintenance and pay bills. Under normal circumstances every 10,000 km oil change once a year or less, and a change brake fluid every two years, while the gear oil needs to be replaced it is longer. In addition to these three kinds of oil have relatively fixed maintenance mileage, the other what the clutch oil, power steering oil, water tank, etc. are subject to availability supplement or replace. 

The purpose of maintenance is on inspection and the purpose of inspection is on prevention. In addition to the above-mentioned things like liquid, solid board and some things you want to change, most often is the spark plug and air filter. Generally platinum spark plugs replaced once about 100,000 kilometers, while the air filter is usually replaced every 40,000 km. Then the timing belt idler and its group, only the use of the timing belt should be replaced before the vehicle using the engine timing chain design probably used scrap do not need to be replaced. The timing belt replacement is a normal maintenance of the most expensive, but also can not save ten million. In fact, the need to replace something so little, because the real purpose of maintenance is not to replace these supplies, but to check whether the vehicle abnormal. 

Many people have a misconception that maintenance is to change the oil. But in fact, change the oil never maintenance focus, at best considered routine Bale. Maintenance greatest goal is to check on the car components there is no damage or need to be adjusted, the operation of these checks will be able to protect your driving safety. Check lot of items, generally are checking the engine, the exterior and chassis parts. Open the hood to check the water tank, engine oil, transmission oil tank, power steering hydraulic oil, brake fluid, wiper water, batteries, belts, air filter, etc., then to check the wipers, wiper washer nozzles, the entire vehicle lighting, another thing check brakes and handbrake, tires, drive shafts, shock absorbers, various seal cushion rubber pad, and pay attention to any abnormal oil vehicle with a variety of irregularities. 

Engine oil and engine oil filter every time maintenance will change things. Before changing the oil, the oil should be extracted dipstick to check the oil viscosity if consumption is normal or not before and after the discharge of oil. Note that in addition to the tank water is normal water, but also pay attention to color is normal. When the dirty water tank exception, all the water tank must be updated cyclically. Transmission oil is typically checks the oil and color, power steering oil, too. In addition to the brake fluid every two years, the oil should be checked every time maintenance and color, when the height decreased a little anxious when not used added to the film because it is abrasion caused by brake cylinder extending and put a new to the film of oil will rise. 

Fire truck with battery in two ways, one is free water type, water is the traditional style. Free water type usually depends on the check mark, the traditional water-type battery will have to add water to the full level. Check battery usually inspection machine to check the battery, when the battery voltage drop too much, on behalf of the need to replace aging batteries, battery life is usually two years. Air filter core is generally 40,000 km for a change, but each time maintenance checks in order to avoid damage and I do not know. Finally, check the exhaust pollution, usually it off after engine represents no problem. 

Check the chassis is usually the most difficult to do, because there is no pusher machine, brake force detecting machines and other equipment. Check the brakes is the most important brake force, by vehicles should be more than 80% of vehicle weight. Followed by check to the film thickness, to the film thickness is less than 2mm should be replaced immediately. To check the tire pressure tire, wear, eat tires with the aging. 1.6mm tread to be replaced immediately, to check the positioning eat tires, tire aging need to be replaced, even if deep tread pattern is still the same, because the tires due to exposure to UV aging and loss of elasticity grip, do not generally recommended tire more than four years. Then there is the drive and check the bottom of the vehicle suspension system, basically check for seal damage, whether the abnormal oil leakage and the like.
