The correct use of hydraulic retarder

1. understanding of hydraulic retarder

Hydraulic retarder is a device for deceleration and control, which is widely used in various vehicles. It realizes the deceleration effect through the kinetic energy conversion of the liquid, and has the characteristics of stability and high efficiency.

Preparation before 2. use

1. Check the liquid level of the hydraulic retarder to ensure that the liquid is sufficient.
2. Check the appearance of the retarder to ensure that there is no damage or leakage.
3. Be familiar with the position and operation mode of the control switch.

3. the correct method of use

1. After starting the vehicle, wait for a period of time for the hydraulic retarder to reach normal operating temperature.
2. During the deceleration process, the hydraulic retarder is gradually activated by the control switch. Avoid sudden application of excessive deceleration force to prevent discomfort to the vehicle and passengers.
3. According to the speed and deceleration demand, adjust the hydraulic retarder control switch position to obtain the appropriate deceleration effect.
4. In the case of downhill or continuous deceleration, the hydraulic retarder can be used in advance to reduce the burden on the brake and extend its service life.
5. While using the hydraulic retarder, it is still necessary to use the brake to ensure safe parking.

4. considerations

1. Avoid suddenly starting the hydraulic retarder at high speed and high load to avoid excessive impact.
2. It is strictly forbidden to turn off the flame during the working process of the hydraulic retarder, so as not to damage the retarder.
3. Regularly check the liquid level and performance of the hydraulic retarder to ensure that it is in good working condition. If found abnormal, should be timely maintenance.
4. When using the hydraulic retarder, pay attention to the stability of the vehicle to avoid the vehicle rollover or loss of control due to deceleration.
5. Observe traffic rules and ensure safe driving.

5. Maintenance and Maintenance

1. Regularly check the liquid level of the hydraulic retarder. If it is insufficient, please supplement it in time.
2. Regularly check the sealing performance of the retarder to prevent liquid leakage.
3. Regularly check the performance of the retarder to ensure that it is in normal working condition.
4. If there is any abnormal situation, please contact professional maintenance personnel for maintenance in time.

Following the above steps and precautions, you will be able to use the hydraulic retarder correctly and safely, improving driving comfort and safety.
