How to use the Auman exhaust brake switch?
1 Answers
Here is the method for using the Auman exhaust brake switch: 1. The exhaust brake of Auman is located on the wiper switch on the right-hand side. Pull the wiper switch backward to activate the exhaust brake, and push it forward to turn it off. 2. The exhaust brake works by blocking the engine's exhaust when descending slopes, especially downhill. Since the vehicle is in gear, the engine then acts to brake the wheels. Below is related content: 1. Exhaust brakes are widely used in large diesel vehicles. A regulating valve is installed on the engine's exhaust pipe, which increases the exhaust stroke pressure when closed, utilizing the generated negative pressure to obtain braking force. 2. The regulating valve is driven by a control mechanism using compressed air or vacuum, often sharing the same power source as the main brake. 3. The exhaust brake is usually activated by a manual switch. To prevent engine stalling when parked and to avoid exhaust brake action during fuel injection, the exhaust brake automatically deactivates when the accelerator or clutch pedal is pressed. 4. Since fuel supply is cut off during operation, the exhaust brake cannot be used in gasoline vehicles. Proper use of the exhaust brake can significantly reduce the use of service brakes (foot brakes), thereby reducing wear on brake pads (or discs) and greatly lowering the risk of driving safety hazards caused by overheating due to continuous braking.
