What is the correct way to use exhaust brake?
1 Answers
The operation method of exhaust brake is to pull backward to turn on the exhaust brake switch, and the corresponding indicator light will illuminate. Different vehicle models may vary. Here is more information about exhaust brake: 1. Introduction: Exhaust brake, also known as engine brake, is an auxiliary braking system that cannot replace service brakes. A control valve is installed on the engine exhaust pipe. By closing this valve, the pressure in the exhaust stroke is increased, utilizing the generated negative pressure to obtain braking force. 2. Function: Proper use of exhaust brake can significantly reduce the usage of service brakes, thereby decreasing wear on brake pads (or discs) and greatly lowering the safety risks caused by overheating from continuous braking of pads (or discs).
