Maintenance

I. Further maintenance of the lubrication system

The primary function of the lubrication system is to effectively lubricate the various parts of the sidewall trailer engine to prevent excessive wear and tear. Under normal circumstances, the sidewall trailer needs to be cleaned and maintained once every 5,000km-10,000km, or earlier when the engine noise is too loud, acceleration is weak, and the water temperature is too high. Clean the internal engine sludge and other accumulations to avoid the oxidation of oil thickening at high temperatures, reduce the wear and tear of engine components, extend engine life and improve engine power.

2. The cooling system cleaning and maintenance

In general, sidewall trailers in the winter and summer season should be cleaned and maintained once every day, driving every six months to 8 months cleaning and maintenance, or in case of high water temperature, water leakage, open pot cleaning, and maintenance. Clear the traces and scale that lead to engine overheating, prevent harmful corrosion, avoid and stop the leakage of seals and water tanks, and thoroughly replace the old coolant.

3. The fuel system cleaning maintenance (i.e., cleaning nozzles, valve carbon)

Under normal circumstances, the sidewall trailer needs to be cleaned and maintained once every 800km-1000km, or earlier when you find that the engine shudders, lags, and accelerates badly, emits black smoke, is powerless, and costs fuel. Clear the gum and carbon inside the system, prevent harmful corrosion, avoid and stop the leakage of seals and water tanks, and thoroughly replace the old coolant.

4. The brake system cleaning and maintenance

The sidewall trailer should be cleaned and maintained once every 800km or once when the ABS response is too early or too slow. Clear the harmful oil and mud varnish system, remove the risk of failure when working at ultra-high or ultra-low temperatures, effectively prevent the brake fluid from deteriorating and expiring, and thoroughly replace the old brake fluid.
