Automobile driving and control
General guidance of the automobile driving and the rules of its towing
Automobile driving doesn’t have any problems on good roads.
When the automobile takes off and moves on a slippery length of the road it is recommended to switch for a short-term the block system of the
interbridge and interwheel differential. The block system should be switched on just before a slippery length of the road. In this case it is necessary to
switch off the clutch and switch on the block system after the automobile stop.
It is forbidden to switch on the block system of the differentials when the wheels are slipping.
During winter operation and on the slippery roads poor oiling of the hooking device base plate results in bad turning over.
During cargo and containers transportation with the high center of gravity the traverse speed should be chosen under the condition that lateral
stability will be ensured.
In order to improve vision when it is misty or rainy it’s necessary to use fog-light.
MAZ automobiles have separate contours of the brake gears pneumatic drive of the front and rear wheels, contours of the auxiliary, parking and
emergency brake. It is forbidden to move when control lamps 26, 27 (Fig. 7) are alight, signaling about inadequate pressure in the contours of the brake
pneumatic drive.
In order to slow down a train along the downgrade it is necessary to use the auxiliary brake. Also it is necessary to take into account that the
maximal effectiveness of the auxiliary brake is reached when the reducing gear in the gearbox is switched.
Automobiles are equipped with the antilock system, that is why during braking on the slippery road surface it is recommended to hold the brake
pedal in the pressed position up to automobile stop. When the pressure falls in the drive contour of the parking brake the automobile brakes because
accumulator spring goes off. In order to unbrake the automobile it is necessary to unscrew the stop bolts 8 of the tappet out of accumulator
cylinders (Fig. 20) or press the tappet 4 (Fig. 21).
At the parking places the automobile should be stopped by the parking brake and the gearbox should be in the neutral position.
For car towing it’s necessary to:
1 disconnect the driveshaft from the back (vehicle 4х2) /intermediate (vehicle 6х4) axle flange and fix it safely on the automobile frame.
2 unbrake the automobile out of the spring accumulator action and carry out the towing with the rigid hitch.
3 unblock the steering tube or disconnect the steering link from the steering arm.
