    Fire truck chassis maintenance often been regarded as dispensable, far from the engine and the body then the subject of attention, in fact, whether fire truck chassis maintenance well, directly related to fire safety, handling, comfort and economy and other key performance, did not take it lightly. Fire truck chassis maintenance and engine maintenance have many similarities, the need for timely inspection.

 1, timely check the important oil cartridge case
This includes transmission, power steering systems, braking systems, one should strictly follow the instructions on the predetermined time, on a regular basis to the special service stations to supplement or replace; but we also need to check their own observations, generally when refueling truck Incidentally, check to see whether each oil reservoir between the upper and lower two tick, tick lower than if we must replenish; if the oil level drops rapidly, indicating the system for leaks, to be at once check out the leakage area, timely repair. Here sure to note is that we must add the oil and the oil is the same specifications as the original brands, so as not to mix different oil causes a chemical reaction, but to make oil deterioration, self-defeating.

2, pay attention to the wear of the brake pads and clutch plates
Brake pads and clutch plates friction plates are both consumables, after a period of time will be loss, lose their original function, if not replace it easily lead to accidents. Has a corresponding warning light on the general fire, we will promptly issue a warning signal to remind users to replace. On rainy, humid weather, friction will absorb moisture, friction will be significantly reduced. In this case, when the fire has just started should be a few light step brakes and clutches, the use of heat generated by friction of the friction plate on the water evaporated, and then the bus.

3, tire maintenance is the key to the chassis
If the tire burst at high speed will be a big accident, the small tilt, shakes, big is overturned. Even if luck is not an accident, parking on the roadside tire change is definitely not a pleasant thing, so every time before moving to check the condition of the tires is necessary.

First check the air pressure in the tire inflation pressure is too high, the tire burst easily, especially in the summer. The pressure is too low, the increase in vehicle resistance, a corresponding increase in fuel consumption. Therefore, the instructions marked on the fire front and rear tires are not the same predetermined pressure. For convenience, the nameplate above the vehicle on the driver's seat all the post was clearly marked. Of course, sometimes we have to be adjusted according to circumstances. For instance, in slippery road surfaces when the weather is hot, the pressure would be lower. Always check the tire tread when driving in bad road conditions, it is necessary to check the tire tread the ground there is no sharp nails, stones and broken glass, so as not to puncture tires. Tread wear to a certain extent the tire surface, the need for timely replacement of tires. Usually when tread wear to only 1.5 to 2 mm, you will find there is a specific mark appears on the tire, different brands of tires are not the same flag, but in the manual has a description, then you should replace the tires.
