What is the method for using a hydraulic retarder?
1 Answers
The method for using a hydraulic retarder is: 1. When decelerating, move the manual control switch handle step by step to the desired gear to achieve the deceleration effect. Return the manual control switch handle to the 0 gear to cancel the deceleration command; 2. For constant speed, first reduce the vehicle speed to a safe value. When the desired speed is reached, move the retarder's manual control switch to the constant speed gear (1st gear). A hydraulic retarder is a type of vehicle retarder that reduces speed through a hydraulic device, also known as a hydraulic deceleration device. While using exhaust braking when driving downhill can achieve good braking results, for larger-tonnage mining dump trucks, the effectiveness of exhaust braking is limited and can cause some degree of damage to the engine.
