Manufacturers of concrete mixers explain the precautions for parking them. Surely not many people are very familiar with concrete mixers; many drivers who have just started using them don’t know how to park them properly. Next, we will explain to you what needs to be taken into account when parking a concrete mixer: before stopping, reduce the throttle to lower the vehicle’s speed, and drive it to the designated parking area. After applying the neutral brake, let the diesel engine idle at low speed for a few minutes, then turn off the throttle to shut it down and engage the hand brake. After turning off the engine, close the fuel tank switch. If it is parked for an extended period, the flywheel needs to be turned so that the piston is at the top dead center position, to prevent dust and moisture from entering the cylinder. When parking at night during cold seasons, the engine oil in the oil pan should be drained while it is still warm; the cooling water should then be drained after the diesel engine’s temperature has dropped, to prevent parts from deforming or cracking due to sudden cooling. The released engine oil and cooling water can be placed in separate, clean containers; they can be reused after being heated before the next start-up. The correct way to heat engine oil is to use hot water for indirect heating; it must never be heated directly with an open flame. Through the above introduction to concrete mixers, you should now have a basic understanding of the aspects to keep in mind when parking them.
