1. Reduce speed
Slow down immediately: When you find that the tires are slipping, you should release the accelerator immediately and reduce the driving speed. Avoid sudden braking, as this may further aggravate the slip.
Maintain a constant speed: In the case of slipping, try to maintain a constant speed and avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration. Constant speed can help the tires better contact with the ground and reduce the possibility of slipping.
2. Use low gear
Switch to low gear: If the Road Roller is equipped with multiple speed gears, you should switch to low gear. Low gear can provide greater torque and help the tires grip the ground better.
Avoid high gear and low speed: Do not drive in high gear, as this will cause the engine speed to be too high and the tires cannot obtain enough torque, which will aggravate the slip.
3. Accelerate gradually
Accelerate slowly: In the case of tire slipping, you should accelerate slowly and avoid suddenly increasing the throttle. Slow acceleration can help the tires gradually regain grip.
Avoid sudden acceleration: Sharp acceleration will cause the friction between the tires and the ground to increase instantly, which may make the slipping situation more serious.
4. Use engine braking
Engine braking: If you need to slow down, you can use engine braking to reduce speed instead of directly stepping on the brakes. Engine braking can be achieved by releasing the accelerator and keeping it in a low gear.
Avoid emergency braking: Emergency braking may cause the tires to lock, thereby losing grip and further exacerbating skidding.
5. Pay attention to ground conditions
Observe the ground conditions: During driving, always observe the ground conditions and avoid driving at high speeds on wet, soft or uneven ground.
Adjust speed: Adjust the driving speed according to the ground conditions. On wet or soft ground, you should reduce speed and maintain a constant speed.
6. Use auxiliary equipment
Anti-skid chains or anti-skid spikes: If the ground conditions are poor, you can consider installing anti-skid chains or anti-skid spikes to increase the friction between the tires and the ground.
Differential lock: If the Road Roller is equipped with a differential lock, you can enable the differential lock when skidding to prevent one tire from spinning.
7. Operator Experience
Familiarity with the Equipment: The operator should be familiar with the performance and operating characteristics of the Road Roller and be able to react quickly and correctly when the tire slips.
Keep Calm: When the tire slips, the operator should stay calm and avoid panic operation.
8. Practical Operation Steps
Discovering Slippage: When you feel the Road Roller tire slipping, release the accelerator immediately.
Shift to Low Gear: Shift the gear to a low gear to obtain more torque.
Accelerate Slowly: Slowly press the accelerator and gradually increase the speed until the tire regains grip.
Maintain a Constant Speed: After regaining grip, maintain a constant speed and avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration.
Observe the Ground: Continue to observe the ground conditions and adjust the speed or take other measures if necessary.
