07 - 4 RT60 Rough Terrain Crane
7. 6 ECONOMICAL DRIVING
Economical driving which can save fuel and prolong service lives of tires must follow the
items below:
a) Develop good driving habits;
b) Do not unnecessarily run the engine at high speed. Shift the transmission into high
gear as much as possible during driving. Shift the transmission into low gear only
when the engine RPM is unstable during driving;
c) Depress and release the throttle pedal gently. Avoid sharp turning, jackrabbit starting
and emergency braking except in a clear emergency. Thus, it can not only ensure
safety but also reduce fuel consumption;
d) Keep driving at medium speed (drive at a speed of 3/4 of the max. driving speed in
normal conditions), so that fuel can be burnt fully and the displacement and fuel
consumption can be reduced;
e) Advance gearshift is necessary before accelerating;
f) Keep coolant temperature varying from 70℃ to 95℃ during driving;
Excessively high or low engine coolant temperature will impair the engine
performance.
g) Check tire pressure frequently to ensure the crane drives with normal tire pressure;
If the tire pressure is excessively low, the rolling resistance, tire abrasion as
well as fuel consumption will be increased.
h) Correctly use air conditioning system;
i) Choose proper fuel and lubricating oil;
j) Maintain the vehicle regularly.
