What are the driving maintenance items?
2 Answers
Driving maintenance includes checking wear conditions, contact conditions, lubrication status, etc. Check wear conditions: Inspect the wear of brake shoes in various mechanisms; examine the wear of wire ropes used for over six months; check the installation, fixation, wear and lubrication of pins; verify the working condition of brakes. Check contact conditions: Inspect the burning and contact status of contactor and controller contacts; examine the lubrication condition of cams, rollers and rotating shafts. Check rotation conditions: Check the transmission status of various mechanisms and verify if the sound is normal; inspect the key connections on crane couplings and the firmness of all connecting bolt components.
I've been driving for fifteen years, and maintenance mainly involves daily upkeep. Changing the oil is fundamental, done every 5,000 kilometers to keep the engine lubricated and clean. Tire pressure needs regular checking—too high increases fuel consumption, too low risks a blowout, so I measure it monthly with a pressure gauge. Brake fluid levels must be adequate; low levels make braking less responsive and dangerous. The lighting system, including headlights and brake lights, must function properly—safety comes first when driving at night. Coolant prevents overheating, especially crucial in summer. I also clean the air filter, as excessive dust affects engine breathing and fuel efficiency. Keep battery terminals rust-free and check voltage periodically. Replace windshield wipers promptly for clear vision in rain. Adopting these habits reduces car issues and saves on repair costs. Remember to quickly check seat belts and trunk tools before driving—prevention is key. In short, maintenance extends your car's lifespan and safeguards your safety.
