The pressure gauge needle of a fire extinguisher indicates normal when it is in the green zone. Vehicle fire extinguishers are mostly dry powder extinguishers. The storage environment temperature for fire extinguishers should be within the range of -10 to 45 degrees Celsius, and the placement location should be kept dry and ventilated to prevent moisture corrosion. Fire extinguishers are categorized into: 1. Aerosol fire extinguishers; 2. Dry powder fire extinguishers; 3. Ultra-fine dry powder fire extinguishers; 4. Carbon dioxide fire extinguishers; 5. Water-based fire extinguishers. The method of using a fire extinguisher is: 1. Carry the fire extinguisher to a spot near the fire and stand on the upwind side; 2. Pull out the safety pin; 3. Hold the nozzle tube firmly with one hand; 4. Press the handle with the other hand; 5. Aim the nozzle at the base of the flame and sweep.

What does 'Beihu' mean?

'Beihu' in the context of used cars refers to vehicles that cannot be transferred to a new owner. A 'Beihu' car is completely normal in all other aspects—it may have all the necessary documentation, valid annual inspections, and insurance—but the ownership cannot be transferred. Reasons why vehicle ownership is not transferred after a transaction: The license plate's registered location is too far away, making the transfer process too costly; the vehicle is used as debt collateral, possibly having been passed through multiple debt cycles; the original owner has passed away without the vehicle being deregistered; in areas with purchase restrictions, the license plate and vehicle are sold together; imported vehicles cannot be registered locally due to migration restrictions; some scammers may also sell commercial vehicles converted to private use as 'Beihu' cars at low prices. Impact of 'Beihu': The 'Beihu' holder has the right to sell or report the vehicle as lost, which could turn the car into an unregistered 'black' vehicle that traffic police can legally impound. In the event of a traffic accident, the perpetrator is primarily held responsible. If the perpetrator flees, the vehicle owner must compensate first, so being a 'Beihu' also carries significant risks.

Can I Buy Insurance for a New Car Without License Plates?

You can buy insurance for a new car without license plates. Insurance for a new car: When buying insurance for a new car without license plates, it is essential to obtain temporary license plates for the vehicle. If a vehicle without temporary license plates is involved in an accident, it may not be covered under the compulsory traffic insurance exemption, but it is definitely excluded from commercial insurance coverage. In such cases, the commercial insurance will not provide compensation. Insurance companies generally assume that motor vehicles should be legally registered and licensed before being driven on the road, as clearly stipulated in the commercial third-party liability insurance and motor vehicle loss insurance clauses. Therefore, if an unlicensed new car is involved in an accident, the insurance company will not be liable for compensation if the vehicle is not displaying license plates at the time of the incident. Types of auto insurance: By commercial use: Compulsory traffic insurance and commercial insurance; Commercial insurance by function: Includes basic insurance and additional insurance; Basic insurance includes: Vehicle loss insurance and third-party liability insurance; Additional insurance includes: Comprehensive theft insurance, standalone glass breakage insurance, new equipment loss insurance, spontaneous combustion insurance, body scratch loss insurance, passenger liability insurance, no-deductible insurance, and various other types of auto insurance.

What Causes Rough Gear Shifting?

The reasons for rough gear shifting: The transmission lubricant of motor vehicles needs to be replaced when it reaches the replacement cycle. The transmission lubricant of motor vehicles should be replaced approximately every 50,000 kilometers. Prolonged failure to replace the transmission lubricant can lead to its deterioration, rendering it ineffective in lubricating the transmission. The transmission oil in motor vehicles is a lubricant that keeps the gear system clean, ensures the normal operation of the transmission, and extends the service life of the transmission components. Transmission oil comes in two types: automatic transmission oil and manual transmission oil. Transmission oil requires regular inspection and replacement.

What Causes Vehicle Body Shaking When Parked?

Reasons for vehicle shaking when parked: 1. Excessive carbon deposits: Severe carbon buildup in the engine cylinders can lead to spark plug blockage and valve clogging, directly causing shaking during idle. 2. Fuel supply system malfunction with unstable oil pressure: This easily results in unstable mixture concentration, causing shaking and unstable idle conditions. 3. Aging engine mounts: This is a very common cause of shaking. If the engine vibration worsens without a corresponding loss of power, consider checking the engine mounts. 4. Misfiring or cylinder failure: This is the most frequent cause of engine shaking. The issue lies with the engine ignition coils or spark plugs. If the ignition coils malfunction or spark plugs fail to fire for some reason, the vehicle will experience shaking.

How to Avoid Stalling During the Subject 2 Driving Test?

To avoid stalling during the Subject 2 driving test, follow these methods: 1. Apply throttle when starting on a slope: It's essential to apply throttle when starting on a slope. Without throttle, the engine's idle speed might be insufficient to move the vehicle uphill, leading to stalling. 2. Release the clutch slowly: Gradually release the clutch without rushing. When the vehicle starts to vibrate as you slowly lift the clutch pedal with your left foot, hold it steady for a moment to ensure the vehicle has the tendency and power to move forward. Avoid lifting the clutch pedal further to prevent stalling. Once the vehicle begins to move forward, release the handbrake completely with your right hand and gently apply the throttle.

Precursors of Motorcycle Cylinder Scoring?

Motorcycle cylinder scoring is preceded by abnormal engine noises. Motorcycle Cylinder Scoring: Motorcycle cylinder scoring refers to the phenomenon where the cylinder wall becomes rough due to insufficient lubrication, causing excessive contact with the piston. When this occurs, not only does the motorcycle's power decrease, but severe oil burning issues may also arise. Normally, a thin oil film lubricates and seals the space between the cylinder wall and piston. However, if the engine suffers from inadequate lubrication or poor oil quality, the piston and cylinder wall are forced into excessive contact, inevitably leading to cylinder damage and piston wear. Consequences of Cylinder Scoring: Deep grooves form on the cylinder wall, causing the piston and piston rings to lose their sealing ability against the cylinder wall. This results in reduced cylinder compression pressure and loss of engine power. The root cause of motorcycle cylinder scoring is the inability to form an adequate oil film between the cylinder wall, piston rings, and piston, leading to poor lubrication or even dry friction. Motorcycles, powered by gasoline engines and steered via handlebar-controlled front wheels, are lightweight, agile, and fast two- or three-wheeled vehicles widely used for patrol, passenger and cargo transport, as well as sports equipment.
