Here are the precautions for using a water sprinkler truck: 1. Water source: Requirements for the water source When using rivers or ponds as water sources, ensure that the end of the suction pipe is fully submerged in water. Choose relatively clean water sources to avoid sucking in stones, excessive mud, sand, or floating debris, which can easily clog the filter screen. If the water source is shallow, deepen the suction area beforehand to ensure no debris is present and to prevent air from entering. 2. Suction pipe: The suction pipe must maintain a vacuum When the water sprinkler truck is drawing water, the suction pipe system must maintain a certain level of vacuum to draw water into the tank. The suction pipe system must be reliably sealed, with no damage to the hose or cracks in the hard pipe. 3. Gear shifting: Shift gears while stationary Whether before drawing water or before sprinkling, the power take-off (PTO) must be engaged while the vehicle is stationary. During gear shifting, release the clutch slowly to avoid potential damage to the PTO.

There are quite a few precautions when using a sprinkler truck, and I must emphasize safe driving. As someone who drives sprinkler trucks in the city year-round, I always check the water tank level before each trip to ensure it's neither too full nor empty. I drive slowly when turning to avoid rollover accidents. Never sprinkle water on rainy days—it wastes resources and increases the risk of skidding. For maintenance, regularly check tire pressure, the braking system, and the water pump nozzles. Clogged nozzles lead to uneven water distribution, wasting effort. Environmentally, choose early morning or evening hours to avoid peak traffic and crowds. While summer cooling effects are good, avoid excessive sprinkling near residential areas to prevent noise complaints. Stop use on windy days to avoid water mist affecting road conditions. Keep an eye out for pedestrians, especially children running around, and control the water volume to prevent splashing and disputes. Remember to clean fuel tanks and pipelines to prevent rust, and take antifreeze measures if the vehicle is idle for long periods.

When using water sprinklers, it's crucial to strike a balance between cost control and safety. From a fleet management perspective, here's how I approach it: Water wastage is the primary concern. During operation, I precisely adjust the spray intensity to minimize water usage, saving costs and resources. Timing is key—avoid peak hours to reduce traffic congestion, and refrain from operating during rush hours when there are more pedestrians and vehicles. Maintenance-wise, regularly service the water pump, clean filters and nozzles; clogged nozzles reduce efficiency and costly replacements. Don't overlook safety training—instruct drivers to slow down, watch for pedestrians, especially in blind areas, and exercise caution on wet roads post-sprinkling to prevent accidents. Environmentally, prioritize recycled water to reduce chemical pollution and comply with regulations to avoid fines. Noise control is also vital—operate quietly in urban areas to prevent complaints and ensure long-term smooth operation.

I am concerned about the environmental impact of sprinkler trucks and pay attention to eco-friendly details during operation. Water usage should be moderate and not excessive, avoiding heavy sprinkling during dry weather to prevent dust from becoming worse. The sprinkler heads should be properly adjusted to prevent water from splashing onto green belts or buildings, which could cause erosion and waste. Timing is crucial—choose early morning or late night to avoid peak human activity, reducing disturbance and complying with environmental regulations. Operation should be simple and steady, driving slowly and carefully to prevent skidding, especially on slippery roads, which should be marked with warning signs for pedestrian safety. For vehicle maintenance, clean the water tank regularly to prevent bacterial growth and inspect pipelines to avoid leaks, conserving water resources while protecting public health.
