As the saying goes, "an autumn rain a cool", with a field of autumn rain, early in the morning will suddenly feel cool. Approaching the autumn, people are most likely to catch a cold and get sick, such as a truck trailer, if not properly cared for, there will also be easy to have this or that problem.

Under the condition of increased temperature rise and fall, circuit, air conditioning, tires and many other external or internal parts are easy to get problems, timely carry out a series of all-round maintenance is crucial for the semi trailers safety and smooth driving every day.

In autumn, the rain is gradually decreasing, entering the peak period of freight logistics, so we need to pay attention to the maintenance of trucks in autumn. However, the maintenance of vehicles is different from that in summer. The following SUNSKY shares the tips of truck maintenance in autumn.

Tyre maintenance

Summer temperature is high, many owners will reduce tire pressure to prevent tire explosion. As autumn comes, the temperature is lower and the tires should be properly inflated.

Besides checking the tire pressure, you should also check whether the friction on the tire surface is ok. After all, there are many rainy weather in autumn and the road is wet and slippery. If the tire surface is badly worn and there is not enough friction, it is very dangerous when driving. Therefore, it is necessary to timely check and change the tires, and try to replace the tires that have been repaired many times.

It is not absolutely safe when a new tire is used, with the temperature decrease, rubber tires will become brittle and hard, reduce the friction, easy to appear puncture, air leakage phenomenon, so even if it is a new tire,it's necessary to clean up the tire surface debris, check whether there is a bulge or scratch.

Storage battery maintenance

In the fall, if green oxide is found in the electrode wiring, it must cause alarm, because it will cause the generator to generate insufficient power, leaving the battery in a state of power deficit, and in severe cases, it will cause the battery to be scrapped.

Seats and floor mats should be cleaned in time

Because of summer temperatures and rain, truck seats and floor mats can harbor a lot of bacteria. Entering the autumn, it is necessary to do a thorough cleaning of the vehicle interior.

Maintenance of spark plug

Ignition system is related to the vehicle's start issues, in the fall,you should carefully check these parts, especially the spark plug and some other plug parts, to see whether rust, once rust,you need to use professional cleaning agent treatment, in order to achieve the best results.

Pay attention to changing the thinner oil

Oil as the "blood" of the engine is divided into two types: regular oil and general purpose oil. General purpose oil can be used either summer or winter, but regular oil can be divided into summer used and winter used.

If you use the summer used oil in winter, the oil will become very thick in cold conditions, causing greater resistance at the start, there will be difficult to start or reduce engine speed after start.

So in the fall, trailer owners will changed  the oil from summer used to winter used. As for how to choose oil: oil according to viscosity is divided into 0W, 5W, 10W, etc., the smaller the number, the thinner the oil, the more suitable for autumn and winter use.
