1, the use of anti-skid chain to increase friction

We also know the role of the anti-skid chain, the installation of anti-skid chain increases the friction between the tire and the snow and ice pavement, so that the driving is more stable, we should pay attention to the timely removal of the anti-skid chain after spending the snow and ice pavement, otherwise the damage to the tire is great.

In particular, it is worth mentioning that the last bridge of tractor drive axle and trailer should be equipped with anti-skid chain. Small anti-skid chain can solve big problems.

2. Don’t overdo it

If the tire rotates at high speed, the adhesion between the tire and the ground will be reduced, and it is easy to slip.

Truck drivers must remember to slowly lift the clutch, light oil, usually 2 gear start, then can choose 3 gear start, to reduce torque.If the start of skid phenomenon, immediately full throttle, gently adjust the steering wheel, to ensure that the vehicle into the correct driving direction.

3, the use of engine inertia braking

When using engine exhaust braking and other methods, it is necessary to pay more attention when driving in snow days.The exhaust valve brake system, which can be electronically controlled and adjustable type, needs to operate the engine exhaust valve brake system with low power according to the instructions. For the non-electronically controlled adjustable type, especially the case of high speed, it is forbidden to use the engine brake.
