Water proves to be crucial in daily operation and maintenance of a concrete mixer truck. You need it to balance moisture content rate of concrete and to clean the tank after unloading. Then do you know how to fill water into a concrete mixer truck as a new driver? Generally there are two notes: pressure control and water filling.
Pressure Control
The pressure value of a concrete mixer truck for sale has usually been set in advance and there is no need to adjust most of the time, but special circumstances might arise when you are recommended to keep the tank pressure around 3.5Mpa. Excessively high pressure may lead to explosion. In addition, it is necessary to tighten the pipe joints of a new truck at any time to prevent them falling off.
Water Filling
In spite of diversity in brands, concrete mixer trucks have similar procedures in water filling: gas outlet of the water tank--water filling--valve turning off. The lever should be placed in the middle when it’s not used, so that the tank will be confronted with no pipe explosion from long-term high pressure. This procedure is set in accordance with our 5 yard concrete mixer truck for sale.
It’s worth mentioning that you should pay special attention to water tank maintenance in winter. After finishing a day’s work, you should completely outlet remaining water in the tank and pipes. Compressed air should be used to blow off the residual water in each pipe to make the pipes thoroughly dry. In this way the pipes will not crack from freezing ice.
