How should the garbage truck be used correctly in summer?

 In summer with high temperature weather, garbage can‘t be stored for too long, so the frequency of garbage trucks used every day is much higher than other seasons. With the high surface temperature and the high frequency of garbage trucks, the incidence of these safety accidents is also increasing due to puncture, spontaneous combustion and fuel consumption. In order to ensure the correct and effective use of sanitation garbage trucks and car maintenance in the hot summer weather, it is necessary to keep in mind the following driving precautions:

1. The tire pressure needs to be reduced
The temperature of the road in the hot summer weather may reach 60-70 degrees Celsius. If the tire pressure is too high on the road, it is easy to puncture the tire when it touches the weak part of the tire. Especially for high-speed or long-distance driving, the tire pressure is easy to rise, and it is easy to cause a puncture. For safety, the owner should stop and depressurize at this time. And after driving on a hot day, do not rush to wash the tires. Because the tires have a high temperature contact with the ground for a long time, they are suddenly subjected to cold water impact, which is easy to deform or uneven the tire wall, and the cold-shrinked tire wall will also wrap around, resulting in a puncture.

2. Use air conditioning needs to warm up
When the summer weather is coming, air conditioning is needed to reduce the temperature inside the cab and ensure safe driving. However, since the air conditioner has not been used for a long time, it is best to warm up 5 minutes in advance in the early stage of use. At the same time, the condenser should be cleaned frequently so that the effect of the air conditioner is good. Moreover, since the air conditioner has not been used for a long time, the oil sinks in the compressor, and suddenly the heavy load will cause damage to it, so the air conditioner can be turned on for 5 minutes at noon every day to warm up, so that the oil can be lubricated.

3. Prevent spontaneous combustion
After the summer weather, there may be heavy rains, and the car should avoid wading as much as possible. Due to the large number of electrical equipment and complicated wiring, it is easy to cause short circuit after entering the water, and even spontaneous combustion. Keeping the normal operation of the line and preventing debris from seeping into the line or engine parts along the wind and sewage will undoubtedly prevent spontaneous combustion. Moreover, lighter, perfume bottles and other items that are more likely to catch fire are strictly prohibited in the cab.

4. The heat is too tired to be dangerous
The hot summer weather is more sultry, the body‘s water is lost a lot, the driver‘s body is expensive, and it is more prone to fatigue and inattention. It is best to stop and rest, to ensure a good night‘s sleep, and not to fight hard. Especially for long-distance riders, try to have two drivers to ensure safe travel.
