What happens if the brake on the cement mixer suddenly fails?

1, according to the road conditions and speed control a good direction, off the high gear, while quickly booming empty oil, high-speed gear into low gear. In this way, the engine will have a lot of traction resistance so that the speed of the vehicle quickly decreases. In addition, the handbrake should be used in combination with the low gear, but it should be noted that the handbrake can't be pulled tight or pulled too slowly. If you pull too tight, it is easy to make the brake disc "locked", it is likely to damage the transmission parts and lose the braking ability; if you pull too slowly, it will make the brake disc wear ablation and lose the braking effect.

2. Use friction and collision between rigid parts such as bumpers and carriages of cement mixers and natural obstacles on the roadside to achieve the purpose of forcibly parking out and reduce accident losses as much as possible.

3. When the cement mixer goes uphill, there is a brake failure. It should be reduced to the mid-low range in due course and keep enough power to drive uphill to stop. If you need to stop on a half-slope, you should keep the low gear in the forward direction and tighten the hand brake. The occupant will promptly block the wheels with stones, padding and other objects. If there is a phenomenon of backsliding, the rear of the vehicle should face the hillside or the side of safety, and turn on the headlights and emergency signal lights to attract the attention of the front and rear vehicles.

4. When the brake on the downhill of the cement mixer fails to use the mechanical parts of the vehicle to control the vehicle speed, the driver should decisively use natural obstacles, such as roadside rocks, trees, etc., to cause resistance to the vehicle. If you can't find a suitable terrain and objects can be used for a while, you can bring one side of the car body closer to the mountain side in an emergency, increase resistance with friction, and gradually reduce the speed.

5, cement mixer should be stepped on the brake when there is no condition in the next long slope, steep slope. Both can test the braking performance, but also can be found in the brake failure to gain control of the time, also known as predictive braking.
