Operation and Maintenance Manual-October-2021 2-13

 Safety Concrete Mixer Truck Chassis

• Call for help immediately.

• When using a fire extinguisher, always aim
the extinguisher nozzle at the base of the
fire.
• Have a list of emergency phone numbers
available in case of fire or an accident.

[Link] Harm to environment

If fuel, oil, spent battery, plastics, tyre and sim-

ilar rubber pieces, and detergent and similar
liquid enter into soil, water, and sewer system,
they will damage and contaminate the
environment.

In order to avoid harming environment, pay at-

tention to the following matters:

• Each leakage on the mixer truck must be

repaired.
• Degreasing agent must be used to
neutralize the oil or fuel leaked. Fig.2-12 No dumping
• National regulations on environmental
protection relating to fuel and lubricant must
be enforced. In case of any doubt, consult a
qualified collection site or center and
discuss appropriate measures to treat
every fuel and lubricant.
• When draining fuel and lubricant, use
containers big enough, that do not leak and
resistant to oil.
• Use separate containers to collect and treat
different fuels and lubricants.

[Link] Danger of electric shock

Keep all parts of this machine from all electrical power lines and other electrical power sources as
shown on the following table:

Table 2–2 Minimum distances between machine and power lines

Cable voltage, kV (kilovolts) Minimum required clearance, ft (m)

350 or less 20 (6.10)
Over 350-500 25 (7.62)

2-14 Operation and Maintenance Manual-October-2021

Concrete Mixer Truck Chassis Safety

Table 2–2 Minimum distances between machine and power lines (continue)

Over 500-750 35 (10.67)

Over 750-1000 45 (13.72)

Contact the power utility company for assurance that the power has been turned off before operat-
ing this machine, which is in the vicinity of electrical power lines or any electrical power sources.

Note: This machine is not insulated.

Treat all overhead power lines as being energized and not insulated, unless contrary information
from the utility company or owner is available.

The requirements stated in this manual must be followed at all times, even if the electrical power
lines or electrical power source have been turned off.

The operator is responsible for alerting all personnel of dangers associated with electrical power
lines and electrical power source. Do not allow unnecessary personnel in the vicinity during opera-
tion. The operator must prevent everyone from touching the machine.

It is not always necessary to contact a power line or power source. Depending on magnitude, elec-
tricity can arc or jump to any part of the machine if it comes too close to an electrical power source.

The use of electrocution hazard devices (insulated links, insulated boom cages or guards, proxim-
ity warning devices or mechanical limit stops) do not assure that electrical contact will not occur.

Grounding of the machine which is little or no protection from electrical hazards. The effectiveness
of grounding is limited by the size of the conductor (wire) used, the condition of the ground, the
magnitude of the voltage and current present, and numerous other factors.

Because of the voltages involved, overhead power lines present an extremely high risk of fatal
electric shock. If contact occurs, proper safety procedures should be followed. The danger posed
by overhead power lines at the job site is often compounded by other factors, such as uneven
ground that could cause the machine to weave or bob into power lines, and windy conditions that
can make the power lines sway.

To address these risks:

• Identify overhead power lines and mark safe routes where the machine must repeatedly travel.
• Operate the machine at a slower than normal speed in the vicinity of power lines.
• De-energize and ground overhead power lines or take other protective measures such as
guarding or insulating the lines.
• If the power lines are not de-energized, operate the machine in the area only if a safe minimum
clearance is maintained.
• If maintaining safe clearance by visual means is difficult, designate a person to observe the
clearance and to give immediate warning when the machine approaches the limits of safe
clearance.

Operation and Maintenance Manual-October-2021 2-15

 Safety Concrete Mixer Truck Chassis

• All personnel should keep away from the machine whenever it is close to power lines.
• Do not touch the machine until a signal person indicates that it is safe to do so.
• The use of electrocuting hazard devices is not a substitute for de-energizing lines, or
maintaining safe clearance.

When working near communication towers where the machine is close enough for an electrical
charge to be induced in the machine or materials being handled, the communication must be de-
energized or the following precautions must be taken:

• The machine must be provided with an electrical ground.

• If tag lines are used, they must be non-conductive.

If the machine or any of its components contacts an energized power source:

• Remain calm and do not panic.

• Immediately warn personnel in the vicinity to stay away.
• If in the operator cab, stay there until the power company has been contacted and the power
source has been de-energized. Do not attempt to come close to the machine until the power has
been turned off.

[Link] Danger of getting poisoned and choked

WARNING
Risk of getting poisoned and choked!
The exhaust gas emitted by the engine
contains certain carbon monoxide and other
harmful components, and they could block
the inbreath of oxygen, thus suffocating
people to death.

engine does not work, the power-assisted

steering system and the brake booster can
not work normally. If the extinguishing switch
is closed during running, the steering would
be out of control which will lead to serious in-
jury or death.

When there is no need to use the clutch dur-

ing the running, strictly prohibit putting foot on 4
the clutch pedal to prevent the wear of the fric-
tion plate.

During the uphill, do not stop the truck on the

ramp by stepping the clutch pedal (4) with
half foot. It will lead to needless wear of the
friction plate. Stop the truck by stepping the
brake pedal or using the parking brake. Do
not step the clutch pedal fast and repeatedly.

2.7.3 Parking precautions

Before parking, run the engine at idle speed for 3 minutes–5 minutes. Before the engine is off, step
the throttle pedal slightly for 2–3 times to lubricate the components completely. Then press the ex-
tinguishing switch to turn off the engine. Make sure that the engine does not extinguish rapidly in
high temperature conditions. It is against for the engine to cool down and will decrease the lifetime
of the engine.

Close all the electric equipment, then close the master switch of the electric power source to pre-
vent the electric discharge of the battery.

After parking, push the parking brake lever rearward to locking position to prevent the accident
movement of the truck and injury of the driver or the pedestrian. See “Parking brake” on page 4-
21.

Shift the gear to the neutral place after parking. See Gearshift operation on page 4-13.

Do not stop the truck on the steep slope. Lock

the tyres with wedges (1) if required.

Do not stop the truck near to the fire goods

such as withered grass in case of fire caused
by the high temperature of exhausting pipes.

Close the engine when resting in the cab. 1

Prohibit putting the cigarette lighters, carbonic
bottles in the cab in high-temperature
weather.

2.8 Treatment of emergencies

2.8.1 Brake failure

When it is confirmed that the brake of truck failed, the following measures may be taken according
to specific circumstances:

Brake failure on the highway

1. Turn on the right turn indicator immediately and turn into the emergency parking lane safely.

2. Turn on the double jump lights and shift the transmission from mid to low gear.

3. Decelerate the truck through shifting to the 3rd gear, 2nd gear and 1st gear.

4. Stop the truck through the handbrake when the traveling speed is below 30 km/h.

Brake failure before cornering or turning

• Control the direction and shift to the low 1

gear quickly.
• If appropriate, use the handbrake to slow
down before entering the corner.
• Release the handbrake as you enter the
corner before turning the steering wheel.
• Do not use the handbrake when turning.

Fig.2-41 Hung low gear

1. Low speed shift

Brake failure on uphill

• Change gear quickly to slow down and stop

the truck.
• If the road conditions are favorable, drive to
the slope top slowly, and then stop the truck
with the handbrake.
• If it is necessary to stop the truck halfway
on the slope, retain the advancing low gear,
push down the clutch, and then tension the
handbrake to stop the truck.
• If the truck tends to go backward, the clutch Fig.2-42 Depress the clutch
pedal may be loosened a bit so as to

2-32 Operation and Maintenance Manual-October-2021

Concrete Mixer Truck Chassis Safety

control the truck on the slope by taking

advantage of the half linkage of the clutch.
• After stopping at the halfway point, have the
wheels chocked up with hard articles, then
shift to the neutral gear, tighten the parking
brake, and shut off the engine to stop.
Brake failure on downhill

• Change gear quickly to slow down and stop the truck.

• If it is impossible to stop the truck, and the situation is very critical, put the unmanned side of the
car against the roadside fence or obstacles as far as possible. There is collision to slow down
the speed to ensure personnel safety first.
• Do not lean directly against surrounding objects without slowing down. High speed and violent
collision will directly damage the vehicle and easy to be bounced by objects.
• Learn to use the traction resistance of the motor brake to control the speed.

Predictive braking

• Before going downhill, brake to check the

braking performance.
• If the brake failure is found, time of
controlling gains, panic minimizes and
operator could control the vehicle calmly.

Fig.2-43 Predictive braking

2.8.2 Tyre leakage and flat tyre

If the truck suffers air leak and flat tyre during

operation, the following methods may be
taken:

Leak in the tyre

• The driver should tightly hold the steering

wheel, apply the brake to decelerate
gradually.

Operation and Maintenance Manual-October-2021 2-33

 Safety Concrete Mixer Truck Chassis

• Control the traveling direction to the utmost,

and drive out of the carriage way as soon
as possible.
• Do not apply emergency braking so as to
avoid traffic accidents.

Rear tyre blowing out

• The driver should tightly hold the steering
wheel and get into low gear quickly.
• Control the truck to the utmost to keep it
traveling on a straight line, and decelerate
the truck until stop it.

Front tyre blowing out

• The driver should tightly hold the steering
wheel, get into low gear quickly.
Fig.2-44 Hold the steering wheel
• Point on the brake pedal, try to control the
car driving in a straight line, slow down to
stop gradually.
• When the truck sheers off, do not make
excessive rectification. Push the brake
pedal slightly to decelerate gradually while
controlling the traveling direction.

Methods of avoiding flat tyre

• Check tyres regularly.
• Replace damaged tyres in time.

Matters after flat tyre

• Do not slam on the brake.
• Shift gears to decelerate gradually by using
the brake.

2.8.3 Engine stalling during travel

When the engine stalls during travel, the driver shall do the steps:

1. Decelerate gradually and keep the truck traveling on a straight line.

2. Drive the truck off highway carefully and park it at the safe place.

3. Turn on the emergency flash lamp.

4. Re-start the engine. If it cannot be started, dial the after-sales service line for help.

2-34 Operation and Maintenance Manual-October-2021

Concrete Mixer Truck Chassis Safety

2.8.4 Engine overheating during travel

If the thermometer indicates that the engine is overheated or the power is not enough, and there is
clear sound of knock or deflagration, this means that the engine becomes too hot. In case of any
above phenomena, the following procedures must be enforced:

CAUTION
Risk of injuries!
When the engine works, any moving part, such as fan, drive belt and so on, could result in
crushing injuries.
When the engine works, keep hair, hands and clothes far from any moving part.

1. Drive the truck off highway and park it at a safe place as soon as possible.

2. Turn the gear shifter to the neutral gear, set parking brake, and shut down the air conditioner.

3. Check whether the cooling water runs off and the cooling fan works. If the fan does not work,
shut down the engine.

4. Check whether the pump drive belt is missing. If it is not missing, check the tension of the belt. If
there is no problem, check whether the cooling water is leaked from the radiator, hose, or
underbody.

5. If the pump drive belt is damaged or the cooling water gets leaked, stop the engine immediately
and dial the after-sales service line of SANY for help.

6. If the cause for engine overheating is not found, wait until the engine recovers. If the cooling
water is not enough, add cooling water into the water tank carefully to the two-thirds part between
upper body and lower limits.

Note: excessive consumption of the cooling water for engine indicates that the cooling system has
leakage. Check at the designated service point as soon as possible.

2.8.5 Treatment of special driving circumstances

[Link] Dangerous road conditions

When encountering dangerous road condi-

tions, such as rain, snow, ice, sludge, sand,
and the other conditions, obey the following
suggestions:
• Drive the truck carefully and keep a big
brake distance.
• Prevent sudden braking or steering.
• Push down the brake pedal until the truck
stops.

Fig.2-45 Dangerous road conditions

CAUTION
Risk of bystanders injuries!
When the truck is fixed, wheel idling at high
speed could cause bystanders to get hurt.
Never make wheels idle at high speed.

NOTICE
Risk of tyres damage!
When the truck is fixed, wheel idling at high
speed could lead to tyres overheating which
could cause damage to tyres.
Do not make wheels idle at high speed. Fig.2-46 No high speed idling

• Shift to the second gear to accelerate

slowly so as to avoid idling the driving
wheel when the truck gets stuck in snow,
mud or sand.
• When the truck gets stuck in snow, mud, or
sand, place sand, rock salt, tyre antiskid
chain or other antiskid articles below the

2-36 Operation and Maintenance Manual-October-2021

Concrete Mixer Truck Chassis Safety

driving wheel, so as to provide tractive

force.

[Link] Turning

Avoid pushing down brake pedal or shifting gear when making a turn, especially when the road is
wet. Try to turn with slight acceleration. The wear rate of tyre and probability of accident may be
minimized by observing these opinions.

[Link] Driving at night

It is more dangerous to drive at night than dur-

ing daytime, so observe the following essen-
tials for driving:

• Reduce the truck speed and keep a big

safe distance from other vehicles. It is
especially important when there are no
street lamps on the road.
• Adjust the position of the rearview mirror to
reduce the light from headlights of vehicles
behind.
• When the headlight does not focus
automatically, keep the headlight clean and
focusing. A dirty headlight or improper
focusing will lead to a worse vision.
Fig.2-47 Driving at night
• Avoid watching the headlight of a vehicle
coming head-on, otherwise it will lead to
temporary blindness and it requires several
seconds to adapt to a black environment.

[Link] Driving in rainy days

It is very dangerous to drive the truck in a

rainy day or on a wet and slippery road, espe-
cially when not prepared for such a road. The
following precautions should be taken to drive
in a rainy day:
• A downpour will lead to a bad vision.
Increase the brake distance, and travel at a
reduced speed by all means.
• Keep the windshield wiper in a good state.
Replace the blade of the windshield wiper
Fig.2-48 Driving in rainy days

Operation and Maintenance Manual-October-2021 2-37

 Safety Concrete Mixer Truck Chassis

when there are strips on the windshield or

areas missed.
Keep all tyres in a good condition.

Open the headlight of the truck so that other people may see the truck.

Rapid travel on a road with gathered water will influence the brake, so reduce the speed by all
means when traveling on such a road.

If the brake is sloppy, push down the brake pedal slightly when driving, until the truck resumes its
normal braking operation.

Unless confirming that the submerging height does not reach beyond the lower edge of the hub,
do not drive the truck to pass a submerged area. Always travel at a reduced speed when driving
the truck across water areas. Since the braking performance may be impacted, it requires a suffi-
cient brake distance.

When driving the truck across a submerged area, push the brake pedal down slightly several times
when the truck travels slowly, so as to dry the brake.

[Link] Driving in winter

CAUTION
Risk of traffic accident, personnel injury or death!
Installing tyre antiskid chains could provide a bigger driving force, but it could not prevent side
skidding which could cause traffic accidents, personnel injury or death.
Drive carefully on the road with snow or ice.

The bad driving environment in winter may increase abrasion of tyres or cause other faults, which
will increase the accident rate. In order to reduce accidents in winter, obey the following
suggestions:

• It is necessary to use antiskid tyres or

antiskid chains to drive the truck in deep
snow. The antiskid tyres must be of the
same size and specification as the original
tyres specification. Install the proper size of
antiskid chain correctly. An improper size
and installation of antiskid chain will
damage the brake piping, suspension, truck
body and wheel.
• Make a full use of the braking function to
reduce speed. On the road with snow or
Fig.2-49 Driving in winter
ice, emergency braking will result in the
truck gets drifted and skidded. Keep a

2-38 Operation and Maintenance Manual-October-2021

Concrete Mixer Truck Chassis Safety

proper safe distance from the vehicle

ahead and push down the brake pedal
slightly.

2.9 Precautions with tyres

2.9.1 Handling tyres

Explosive separation of a tyre or rim parts can

cause serious injury or death. To ensure
safety, always do as follows.

• When carrying out maintenance,

disassembly, repair, or assembly of the tyre
or rim, special tools and procedures must
be used. Ask the local distributor to do the
work.
• Use only specified tyres and inflate them to
the specified pressure.
• When pumping up the tyres, insure that no
one is near the tyre, install an air chuck that
can be secured to the air valve. Measure Fig.2-50 Explosive separation
the pressure from time to time with an air
gauge to prevent the tyre inflation pressure
from becoming too high.

• If the pressure goes down abnormally or

the rim parts do not fit the tyre, or there is a
problem with the tyres or rim parts, always
contact the Komatsu distributor for repairs.
• If the rim parts are not fitted properly when
the tyre is being pumped up, there is
danger that the rim parts may fly off, so set
up a protective fence around the tyre, and
do not stand directly in front of the rim.
Stand beside the tread when pumping up
the tyre.
• Do not adjust the tyre inflation pressure
immediately after traveling at high speed or Fig.2-51 Stand beside the tread
operations under heavy load.
• Never weld or light a fire near the tyre.

Operation and Maintenance Manual-October-2021 2-39

Safety Concrete Mixer Truck Chassis

• Always release all pressure from a single

tyre, or from both tyres of a dual assembly,
prior to removing any rim components.

2.9.2 Safe using

• Do not discharge air immediately after tyres running in high speed.

• Slow down and take care in special climate or environment.

• Do check, maintenance, transposition, repair frequently.

• Do not use the repaired tyres in the front wheel.

• Change tyres immediately when faults happen.

2.9.3 Storing tyres

• Store the tyre in a warehouse where

unauthorized persons can not enter. Always
erect a fence and put up No Entry signs if
the tyre must be stored outside.
• Stand the tyre on level ground, and block it
securely so that it cannot roll or fall over if
1
any person should touch it.
• Place the tyre against a wall at an angle of
A
→
60°– 70° (A) and hold the tyre against the
→

wall with a block (1).

• If the tyre should fall over, do not attempt to
Fig.2-52 How to place tyres
stop it. Get out of the way quickly.

4.5 Transport
4.5.1 Transport guidelines

Before transport, make sure the operator read and fully understand the precautions and
information.

• Set traveling speed switch to low gear and do not operate the switch to avoid danger caused by
high-speed movement.

• Turn engine speed dial to low speed.

• When loading or unloading the machine, choose solid and level ground and keep a safe distance
from road edge.

• Use a slope with sufficient width, length, thickness and strength, its maximum slope angle being
15°. When using a soil slope, compact the soil. When using the trailer’s ramp, its angle from the
ground shall not exceed 15°.

• When using ramp or a platform, place spacer blocks under trail wheels to prevent trailer from
moving.

• It is extremely dangerous to change direction when driving up or down a ramp. Drive back to
ground or trailer plate to change traveling direction.

• When the mixer truck is traveling on a slope, never operate any control lever other than traveling
lever.

4.5.2 Loading

1. Start the engine. Align tracks with ramp or slope, and drive truck in reverse onto the trailer.

2. With the help of a guide person, drive mixer truck slowly onto ramp or slope. Drive it onto trailer
plate at its minimum speed.

3. Stop the truck at a suitable position on the trailer plate. Ensure that the tracks of both sides have
an equal clearance from trail sides.

4. Stop the engine. Shift the gear to the neutral place after parking and remove the key.

5. Shut cab window, ventilator and door, and cover air vent to shield wind or rain.

6. Install swing locking connecting rod.

4.5.3 Towing

1. Only use existing towing hitches for towing and observe the regulations of truck manufacturer.

2. Comply with the prescribed driving position, permitted speed and itinerary when towing.

4-30 Operation and Maintenance Manual-October-2021

Concrete Mixer Truck Chassis Operation

3. Observe the stipulations of manufacturer of chassis when towing the truck with other towing
machines.

4. Use the towing eye to tow the truck. The towing eye is fixed on the traction hook seat at the
forepart of the truck.

5. Use the outrigger drag loop to tow the truck. But the outriggers shall be retracted and put at the
axle of towing direction. When towing the truck, if the outrigger swings out or is at an angle to the
towing direction, it may cause a serious accident.

found, especially at cylinder rods and control levers.

After operating the machine, thoroughly wash away the salt residue, apply grease where rust is
found, and perform maintenance carefully on the electric components to prevent corrosion.

3. Rocky ground surface

Inspect the wheels and tires for damage, such as cracks, abrasions, scars, loose bolts and missing
bolts.

4. Cold environments

In the environment that the air temperature is below 0°C (32°F) or water is prone to freeze, drain
off the water in water tank and pipelines to avoid frost crack.

Before starting the truck at cold environments, clear the ice in the water tank, valve, pipelines and
other elements.

Perform the following warm-up procedure.

• Start the engine and run it at idle speed for 7 minutes– 10 minutes. Then increase the engine
speed to 1200 r/min till the hydraulic oil temperature is at least 20℃ (68℉).
• Proceed with usual operation only after completing warm-up procedure as above.
• Adjust the warm-up period according to the ambient temperature.

During usual construction operation, take care to operate the controls slowly and observe the trav-
eling system for any sign of trouble.

5. Other weather environments

If there is evidence of bearings or bushings overheating, loose parts or rust during regular inspec-
tion, increase the frequency of lubrication. “Lubricants and fluids” on page 5-16. The table applies
only to usual operating conditions. Shorten the lubricating intervals in harsh environments,

5.3.3 New truck – maintain

When the running range of new truck reaches 2000 km–3000 km or the service time reaches two
months (subject to the first arrival), the compulsory maintenance must be applied to the truck.
SANY can supply new truck with running-in compulsory maintenance with free labor cost. SANY
can offer free engine oil filter and fuel filter, whereas the other material cost (such as engine oil,

Operation and Maintenance Manual-October-2021 5-15

transmission gear oil, middle and rear axle gear oil, wheel hub grease and superstructure mainte-
nance oil) must be paid.

• Before starting the truck, do the ordinary check and make sure that every system is usual.
• In the running period, drive the truck on the flat road as possible.
• In the running period, the appropriate engine speed range is 1200 r/min–1600 r/min.
• Do not accelerate immediately after engine starting. Accelerate smoothly after the engine
temperature reaches usual working state through 3 minutes– 5 minutes idle running, and the
maximum vehicle speed is below 50 km/h.
• Do not let the engine flamed out at the hot state, and maintain machine after 3 minutes– 5
minutes idle running and engine temperature descending to the usual working state.
• Do not accelerate and brake rapidly, the clutch must be engaged smoothly.
• In order to avoid the engine working at lower speed, shift gears to low gear before uphill.
• In the first 3000 km period, the load must be below 60% of nominal load capacity, and strictly
prohibit overload.
• In the running-in period, check the temperature and working noise of engine, transmission, rear
axle wheel hub, brake hub and riding wheel. If the unusual state appears, identify the cause and
troubleshoot it.
• If the looseness and interference appear, check the position of oil pipelines, air pipelines and
circuit. Clear them immediately.

5.6 Safety preparation

5.6.1 Work place preparation

The maintenance area should be dedicated, separate, large and ventilated.

The machine should be transferred to maintenance area, and there are certain distance or anti-
clash device between the machine and surroundings.

Operation and Maintenance Manual-October-2021 5-21

 Maintenance Concrete Mixer Truck Chassis

5.6.2 Machine safety measures

• Stop the truck and pull off the keys which must be kept by operator to avoid irregular operation
of unauthorized people.
• Shift gears to neutral gear, then pull up parking brake valve and jam the tyre with wedge-shaped
blocks.
• Clean the oil, fuel and antiseptic before maintenance, and check whether all fuel, engine and
hydraulic pipelines leak or not.
• Clean the mud, snow and ice on handle, step, flat floor and ladder.
• Use proper jack to jack up the truck. The jack is used to change the tyre.
• Use the proper tools, device and measure tools.
• Do not trample any pipeline and assistant device to avoid parts damage or failure.
• After maintenance, check all components and make sure that all is normal.
• Ask service station for help about the situation unmentioned in the manual.

5.6.3 Personnel safety measures

• The operator must wear safety device: safety shoes, safety gloves, safety helmet and so on.
• The dedicated operator must be according to work requirements.

5.7 Maintenance attentions

5.7.1 Attentions of lubricating oil

Adding and changing lubricating oil or grease periodically can improve performance and reduce
downtime.

5.7.2 Attentions of checking or changing grease

Attentions of adding and changing lubricating oil or grease:

• Stop the truck and wait a moment. When the oil temperature drops to the normal, check and
change the lubricating oil of engine, transmission and differential gear.
• Before adding lubricating oil, check whether there are leakages or not. If leakages appear,
contact the local SANY service station and check the trouble.
• Discharge the unused grease and cooling liquid to a container. Do not pour the stuff to an
unauthorized place (such as floor or barrel-drain). Dispose the unused stuff according to the
local law regulation and environment protection requirement.
• Clear the splashed oil to avoid corrosion, environment pollution and fire.
• Clear the engine oil splashed on the surrounding, including engine oil filler lid, engine oil filler tap
and drain plug after adding and changing the oil, which is convenient to inspect leakage.
• Clear the dust and soil on oil gun nozzle and lubricated parts before filling grease.

5-22 Operation and Maintenance Manual-October-2021

Concrete Mixer Truck Chassis Maintenance

• Use the long-term good lubrication to avoid abnormal abrasion. Grease deficiency can cause
excessive free clearance and larger friction between parts, and the abnormal sound and part
abrasion.
• Check whether there are leakages or not by truck running test after adding and changing
grease.

5.7.3 Attentions of truck cleaning

• When flushing, avoid the electric joint, electric element, electronic device, plug and loudspeaker.
Meanwhile, do not splash water into the air inlet when using the water-pipe to flush off the truck.
• Do not wash the chassis wiring joint with water gun directly. The high pressure water can make
the waterproof rubber distorted and cause water inflow. Because of the waterproof structure, the
water inside joints is so hard to vaporize that the wires break for being rusted and corroded.
• Clear the whole truck after running on the road which is corroded by salt (like seawater) or
chemical stuff.
• Check the brake system after truck clearing: if the brake system is abnormal, drive the truck
slowly, meanwhile step the brake pedal lightly and repeatedly until the brake become dry and
safe, and keep safety all time.
• Do not splash water on any engine electronic element to prevent them from damage, which can
cause engine start trouble.
• Do not use sharp or pointed tools to clean the truck, otherwise the paint can be damaged.
• Do not pour or sprinkle the water into cab, otherwise the splashed water can damage electronic
elements.
• Do not use organic solvent to clean safety belt and do not blanch or color the safety belt,
otherwise the safety belt performance can be discounted. Clean the safety belt with cleanser
which have no organic solvent and use the belt after complete dry.
• Do not use organic solvent to clean the elements inside cab, otherwise, some elements can be
discolored and polluted. Some cleanser in common use have organic solvent, identify them to
use.

5.8.1 Windshield washing fluid – check

NOTICE
Risk of spraying device damage!
When temperature is lower than 0°C (32°F), residual washing fluid could cause frost crack.
When the temperature is lower than 0°C (32°F), drain off washing fluid in reservoir to avoid frost
crack of spraying device. In the north where the temperature is low, add some alcohol to prevent
the fluid from freezing.

[Link] Tyres and wheels – check

WARNING
Risk of accident and personal injury!
During air charging, the inappropriate mounting position of retainer, and no safeguard on the
wheel rim could cause accident and personal injury.
Before air charging, check whether the retainer is at the correct mounting position or not. Add
safeguard on the wheel rim during air charging.

NOTICE
Risk of freight damage and abnormal abrasion of tyres!
If the air pressure of tyres is too low or too high, uncomfortable driving and abnormal abrasion of
tyres could occur, and the freight could be damaged easily. Especially when the air is not enough,
the tyre could be easy to cause overheating and bursting on the earth point.
Check the air pressure of tyres everyday. Charge the air in the maintenance station timely if it is
too low.

• Check the air pressure of the tyres

everyday. Charge the air in the
maintenance station timely if it is not
enough.
The standard for the air pressure of tyres:
Nominal section width of the tyre 11.00: 1.1
± 0.1 MPa
Nominal section width of the tyre 12.00: 1.3
± 0.1 MPa

• Check everyday and make sure that there

are no metal pieces, nails or other things
sticking into the tyres. Check everyday and
ensure that there are no stones or other
sundries inserting the tyre thread or
between two tyres.

• Check the looseness of the wheel nut (1)

every week. Tighten them immediately if
there is looseness.
The torque with oil lubrication : (600 ± 30)

or other defects or not on the tyre surface
every week.

• Check the depth of the tyre pattern every

week. Change the tyres when the depth is
smaller than 2.0 mm.

• Check whether there is abnormal abrasion

or not on the tyre surface. If there is,
contact SANY service station to check the
vehicles.

[Link] Tyres – transpose

Because of the different load distribution on the front and rear axles and the braking patterns,
transpose the position of tyres every 10000 km. This can minimize abnormal wearing of the tyres

DANGER
Risk of death or personnel injuries!
Changing a tyre on the public road or
highway lane will lead to a serious accident
which will cause death or personnel injuries.
Do not change tyre on the carriage way of
the public road or the expressway. Be away
from the carriage way thoroughly and park
the vehicle on the shoulder of the road before
changing tyre. Light the warning lamp and
use the triangle warning mark to attract
attention of other vehicles.

Dismounting the wheel

1. Pull up the parking brake when dismounting

the front wheel tyres. Plug the front and back
of the middle and rear axles tyres with triangle
stow-wood to prevent the movement of the
vehicles. When dismounting the tires of the
middle and rear axles, plug the left and right
front wheels with triangle stow-wood.

2. Loose the wheel nut (4) with the socket

spanner in the tool box.

3. Lift one side of the axles with the jack to

separate the wheel from the ground slightly.

• Do use the jack on stiff road.

• Ensure the jacking position correct and do Fig.5-86 Wheel nut
not support the jack on the bumper or other 4. Wheel nut
places.
• Do not keep it jacking for long time. If the
vehicle can not be jacked because of the
heavy load, discharge it or ask help from
the trailer companies.
• Do not get into the bottom of the jacked
vehicles. In the case of jacking, forbid
anyone to start the engine and get into the
cab, and make sure that children are far
away from the jacked vehicles.

4. Clean the nuts of the wheel bolts with water,

then soak them in the oil or apply them with lu-
bricant to make it easy for the wheel to roll out
of the hub.

5.15.6 Air-in strainer – check

Check the cleanliness of the strainer. If it is covered by dirt, unload it and clean it with water or blow
it with high pressure air rifle.

Matters needing attention:

• Whether the air conditioner is in use or not, check and maintain the pipelines and other devices.
• If the air conditioner is not in use in several months, start it one time every month and last for
about 10 minutes.
• When the air conditioner is not in use for a long time, do the first start at idling speed. Otherwise
the high engine speed may cause the high speed of compressor and it can not return oil
immediately.

5.16 Long-term shutdown or storage

1. The vehicle should be stored in a ventilated and moisture-proof garage when it is out of service
for a long time, and should not be stored in the open air. Drain the coolant and fuel, cut off the
power supply, and lock the doors and windows. For short-term storage in the open air, cover with
canvas to prevent vehicle corrosion.

2. Run the engine idling for 30 min every month to avoid serious corrosion of parts due to long peri-
ods of non-operation.

3. If the vehicle is not used for a long time, the entire vehicle needs to be maintained regularly. In
order to prevent corrosion, paint surface coating is required.

4. Battery maintenance:

a) If the vehicle is stored for more than 15 days, the negative connection of the battery should be
disconnected;

b) For stock vehicles that have not disconnected the battery connection, they need to be charged
once a month, and the charging time is not less than 30 min;

c) Disconnect the battery connected to the vehicle and recharge it every 45 days. The charging
current is one-tenth of the battery capacity and the charging time is 8 to 10 hours.

5. Air conditioning maintenance:

a) Regardless of whether the air conditioner is used or not, pipelines and other devices should be
inspected and maintained.

Operation and Maintenance Manual-October-2021 5-107

 Maintenance Concrete Mixer Truck Chassis

b) If the air conditioner is not used for several months, the air conditioner should be turned on once
a month for about 10 min each time to facilitate the normal operation of the system.

c) If the air conditioner is turned on for the first time after it has not been used for a long time, be
sure to start the air conditioner system at idling speed to avoid excessive engine speed, resulting
in excessive compressor speed and untimely compressor oil return, causing seizure failure.

6. Long-term parking of natural gas vehicles (parking more than 10 hours) maintenance:

a) All parts should be kept away from corrosive environment, and the storage place should not be
in the open air.

b) Keep the original dry nitrogen sealed (0.02 - 0.05) MPa pressure, and it is not permitted to open
any valve to release the internal pressure. Do not open the vacuum connector of the gas cylinder
(which is also the explosion-proof port of the outer container), otherwise the vacuum of the gas cyl-
inder will be lost and the gas cylinder will lose its heat preservation effect.

c) The lead seal of the safety valve shall not be damaged, unless the storage time of the gas cylin-
der exceeds the regular inspection period of the safety valve (within 12 months from the last cali-
bration) , and it needs to be sent to the technical supervision department for inspection.

d) All parts of the dust-proof device (such as filling cap, vent cap, etc.) must not be opened at will,
otherwise it may be blocked during use due to the entry of air. Due to the entry of dust particles,
the valve will leak and the engine will be damaged.

e) For liquid gas cylinders that are expected to be stored for more than 5 days, the liquid must be
drained before storage, the pressure must be set to 0 MPa, all valves should be closed, and it
should be placed in an open or ventilated space, electrical appliances in the space should be ex-
plosion-proof type.

f) Cylinders containing liquefied natural gas are strictly prohibited to be stored in a closed space. If
it must be stored in a confined space, a combustible gas alarm should be installed. The minimum
alarm limit of the alarm is when the content of natural gas in the air in the space reaches 1% by vol-
ume. The alarm signal should be able to emit sound, light, and the driver can see the warning
display.
