When the vehicle is going downhill, do not slide in neutral gear. When braking, use the exhaust brake to decelerate simultaneously if possible. When the vehicle is heavily loaded, you can use the engine brake to assist the vehicle in deceleration.

When parking for a long time, turn off the engine to avoid accidents, turn off the main power switch, and apply the parking brake.

Unauthorized modification and installation of various equipment, especially electronics, braking, steering, and other safety-related systems are prohibited; otherwise, it may affect the life and safety performance of the vehicle, causing accidents, fires, and damage to the vehicle. Our company will not be responsible for the consequences. It is strictly prohibited to disassemble or replace the engine ECU; otherwise, the vehicle may be damaged.

Open the front cover before tilting the cab.

When welding work is performed in or near the vehicle, the main power switch must be cut off, and the electrical components (NANOBCU, instrument, engine ECU, ABS control unit) plugs should be unplugged.

It is forbidden to flush the engine with water, as it will cause the engine electrical system to break and damage the ECU.

The cooling system uses anti-freeze and anti-rust coolant, and it is not allowed to mix different brands of coolant. If you change to a different brand of coolant, you need to thoroughly clean the engine cooling system components.

The moisture condensed in the air tank should be released in time to prevent freezing. Pay attention to check the working condition of the air dryer. Under normal circumstances, the service life of the desiccant in the dryer is two years. If water and dirt are discharged from the air tank, it indicates that the desiccant has expired, and the granulate cartridge should be replaced immediately.

If the vehicle is parked for a long time and the temperature is low, it is best to remove the battery and put it in a warmer room. Every 5000 km, check whether the battery electrode post and wire connection clip are loose and whether the battery working condition is normal.

Keep good driving habits and avoid prolonged or sudden braking of the vehicle; otherwise, it will affect the vehicle’s life and fuel economy.
