Please do not slide in neutral when the vehicle is downhill. When taking braking deceleration, it is better to use the exhaust brake at the same time. When the vehicle is loaded, the exhaust brake can also be operated to assist in vehicle deceleration.

When parking for a long time, it should turn off the engine and should turn off the main power switch and use the parking brake at the same time, to avoid accidents.

Unauthorized modification and installation of all kinds of equipment are prohibited, especially the electronic, braking, steering, and other safety-related systems; otherwise, it may affect the life and safety performance of the vehicle, resulting in accidents, fire, damage to the vehicle, our company will not be responsible for the consequences. Disassembly or replacement of the engine ECU is strictly prohibited, otherwise, the vehicle may be damaged.

Open the front cover before tilting the cab.

Cut off the main power switch and unplug the plugs of electrical components (BCu, instrument, engine ECU, ABS control unit) when welding work is performed in or near the vehicle.

Do not flush the engine with water because this can short-circuit the engine electrical system and damage the ECU.

The cooling system uses antifreeze and antirust coolant. It is not allowed to mix coolants of different grades/types. If different grades of coolant are applied, the engine cooling system components need to be thoroughly cleaned.

The moisture condensed in the air cylinder should be discharged in time to prevent freezing. Pay attention to check the working condition of the air dryer. Under normal working conditions, the useful life of the desiccant in the dryer is two years. If it is found that there is polluted water discharged from the air storage cylinder, the desiccant has failed, and the desiccant should be replaced immediately.

Check the level and specific gravity of battery electrolyte every three months. The electrolyte level should be 10-15mm higher than the battery lead plate, and the specific gravity should be above 1.24g/cm³. If the vehicle is not used for a long time and the temperature is low, it is best to remove the battery and put it into a warmer room. Every time the vehicle travels 5000km, it should check whether the clamp between the electrode post and the wire of the battery is loose and whether the battery works normally.
