I. Semi trailer use and operation manual

1. How does a trailer tractor connected to semitrailer

 1.1 The semitrailer hauling highly and the hauling sells the size, the first radius of gyration, the gap radius must match with the trailer tractor , before the connection, be supposed to carry on the inspection, avoid the following situation:  

  ◼️ The kingpinspecification is inconsistent with the hauling saddle place.

  ◼️ The semitrailer hauling highly and the trailer tractor hauling saddle place does not match highly, the  semitrailer and the trailer tractor connection pillion place forward or the incline backward surpasses the normal permission scope.

  ◼️ Before semitrailer's, radius of gyration and the gap radius and the trailer tractor do not match, when curve the semitrailer and the trailer tractor part collides.

 1.2 Does the careful inspection trailer tractor saddle sit the working surface and semitrailer's hauling sells, whether there is tows on the slide the sandy soil, the dust or other foreign matter, whether to have the enough lubricating grease.

 1.3 The kingpin connect the saddle place and the kingpin.

   Before connection, carefully check whether there is enough grease on the tractor saddle plate, and whether there are other foreign bodies on the traction pin and traction slide plate of the semi-trailer to ensure the cleanliness of the traction slide plate.

    ◼️ Adjust the supporting leg, so that the semi-trailer traction skateboard is fit to the traction saddle height. Generally, the semi-trailer traction skateboard is 1-3 cm lower than the center position of the upper plane of the tractor traction saddle, and be careful not to be too high. Otherwise, not only can not be connected, but also damage the traction seat, traction pin and related parts.

    ◼️ Operate the locking mechanism of the traction seat to make the locking block open and become free.

    ◼️ When the tractor is backward, the center line of the tractor and the semi-trailer should be consistent, and the deviation of the center line of the two vehicles should be limited to less than 40 mm. After the tractor's saddle port aligning with the traction pin, reverse slowly until the "click" sound is heard. When the lock block is returned, the tractor and semi-trailer are successfully pulled.

    ◼️ When two middle line included angle full load is smaller than either is equal to 5 degrees, when the idling the hour or is equal to 7 degrees.

    ◼️ Check whether the lock block of the traction seat locks the traction pin and whether the lock is secure.

    ◼️ Move the tractor forward a little to check whether the connection is good.

 1.4 Air course connection

    ◼️ Connect the two pipe joints of tractor (commonly known as handshakes) to the two pipe joints of trailer respectively. At this time, the gas supply line of the tractor is connected with the gas supply line of the semi-trailer, and the control line of the tractor is connected with the control line of the semi-trailer (pay attention to the color of the joint: the same color installation, do not install the opposite).

     ◼️ After the air joints are connected to each other, it is necessary to unscrew the semi-trailer gas connection separation switch on the tractor to make it in the ventilated state. Otherwise, air can not be supplied to the semi-trailer brake system, and the brake system can not work.

     ◼️ Start the engine, observe the barometer in the cab, and raise the pressure in the tractors and semi-trailers' air tanks to the specified pressure.

     ◼️ Check whether there is air leakage in the air path and whether the brake system works normally.

 1.5 Electric circuit's connection

     ◼️ Insert the cable connection plug of the tractor into the seven-hole socket at the front of the semi-trailer until the clamping position is on the seven-hole pin clamping block.

     ◼️ Check whether the electrodes are well connected and whether the side lights, tail lights and other lights work normally.

 

2. Guaranteed that vehicles' must pay attention to the item which in travel safe surface or adopt to be as follows:

    2.1 When fastens tightly the swing pin reliably, the delivery concentrated load, should guarantee the cargo reliably fixed.

    2.2 When curve should reduce the vehicle speed by against to overturn a vehicle.

    2.3 And the level road surface should not reduce the vehicle speed in the railroad street intersection, reduces the container and trailer's impact.

    2.4 Should judge the container quality correctly, do not the overload use.

    2.5 When regarding plate semitrailer delivery concentrated load, the load do not concentrate in the shipment platform center first 2.5 meters scopes, should assign in proportion in the office level two rounds and above the car axle, or lays aside above the car axle.

    2.6 When regarding plate semitrailer delivery concentrated load, the load center of gravity should the daytime approach the vehicles longitudinal plane of symmetry, avoids carrying.

II. Vehicles maintenance routine plan

1. Before every week or each time transports the routine inspection (to carry on by user), before every week perhaps each time transports, (take occurs first as standard), must carry out the following inspection:

    1.1 The inspection tire pressure, adjusts the tire manufacturer the suggestion level.

    1.2 Inspection tire screw's loose and tight degree.

    1.3 Whether there does the inspection manufacture and transport system leak air, tests whether applies the brake.

    1.4 Inspects is hanging the nut and bolt's loose and tight.

    1.5 Inspects the trailer tractor and the semitrailer brake connection.

    1.6 For air drum and air spring suspension air chamber draining water.

    1.7 Check all lights.

    1.8 Inspects and guaranteed that the leg work is normal.

    1.9 The inspection moves part's attrition situation.

2. Each month's inspection (carries on by user)

    2.1 Inspect the hanging part's loose and tight.

    2.2 Inspect break spring and replaces.

    2.3 Inspect all braking system's attachment, whether there is the hose to damage, hose clamp whether there is flaw.

    2.4 Inspect the pilot valve and the other valve's right operation.

    2.5 Inspectpulling force bushing attrition.

    2.6 Whether there is inspects the brake drum crack or the unusual attrition.

    2.7 Inspect car axle's lubricating oil to be able to divulge.

    2.8 Inspectall firm firmwares.

    2.9 The inspection hauling sells unusual attrition.

    2.10 The inspection gets on the brakes whether normally.。

    2.11 For a leg and the braking vane, the hauling sells the lubrication。

    2.12 The mild lubrication brake cam shaft, relaxes the regulator.

3.Every year a time maintenance, from the vehicles start uses 6 months later, every other 12 months carry on an overall check, safeguard the vehicles uncle operational performance (including 6th month time maintenance).

 The inspection scope the provision which inspects with the above each month is the same, adds separately the following provision.

   3.1 Dismantles the brake drum, whether there is inspects the brake shoe thoroughly extra or the non-right attrition.

   3.2 The inspection brake shoe returns to the position spring, applies the brake the bushing, the cam shaft tube, whether there is the brake shoe drum and so on to damage.

   3.3 Inspection car axle connection part.

   3.4 Thorough inspection vehicles structure, if has the question to report immediately.

   3.5 The replacement which approves with the Jupiter replace all attrition or the damage.

III. Inspection maintenance main point

In order to cause the above each inspection project the inspection work to carry on smoothly, proposed that a row each stipulation and the method senate operate must carry out earnestly:

Time inspection matters needing attention:

1. Carries on daily by the spatial vehicle conditio

2. When must lift the wheel should simultaneously lift the car axle, the hoisting jack should place approaches the spring place.

3. The spot which contacts with the hoisting jack should fill up the steel plate either the thick plank oversized or slips by against partial stress.

IV. Lubrication

For the safe driving and the extent semitrailer service life, must to each oil site supplement lubricant, supplement regularly when fat should pay attention to the following item:

1. The oil appliance and the oil injection lubricate cap must clean first.

2. When the lubricate cap cannot pour into the lubricant, should inspect the reason, if damages should replace.
