1. Preparation before turning
1. Reduce speed:
Before turning, reduce the driving speed in advance to avoid sharp turns or high-speed turns. The speed should be controlled below 3km/h to ensure a smooth turning process.
It is strictly forbidden to accelerate or decelerate suddenly when turning to avoid losing control of the vehicle.
2. Observe the surrounding environment:
Observe the road conditions in the turning area in advance to ensure that there are no obstacles or people.
Pay attention to whether the turning radius is sufficient to avoid collision or jamming of the equipment due to a small turning radius.
3. Use turn signals:
Turn on the turn signals in advance to remind the surrounding people and vehicles of your driving intentions.
Ensure that the turn signals and other warning devices work properly.
2. Operation skills in turning
1. Slow and smooth operation:
When turning, operate the steering wheel slowly and smoothly to avoid sharp turns.
Maintain a constant speed and avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration during the turning process.
2. Keep driving at a low speed:
Always keep driving at a low speed during the turning process to avoid rollover due to excessive speed.
It is generally recommended that the turning speed should not exceed 3km/h.
3. Avoid sudden braking:
Avoid sudden braking when turning, because sudden braking may cause the center of gravity of the vehicle to move forward, increasing the risk of rollover.
If you need to slow down, you should slow down slowly in advance to ensure that the vehicle is stable.
4. Pay attention to the change of center of gravity:
The center of gravity of the Road Roller is high, and the center of gravity of the vehicle will shift to the outside of the turn when turning, so pay special attention to the balance of the vehicle.
Avoid vibrating operations when turning, as vibration will increase the instability of the vehicle.
5. Use low gear:
When turning, it is recommended to use low gear to obtain greater torque and better control.
Low gear can provide more stable driving performance and reduce the risk of vehicle loss of control.
III. Turning precautions under special working conditions
1. Slope turning:
When turning on a slope, you should be particularly careful to avoid unstable center of gravity of the vehicle due to the slope.
When turning uphill, you should roll from low to high to ensure the stability of the center of gravity of the vehicle.
When turning downhill, you should slow down in advance to avoid sliding in neutral gear and use engine braking to control the speed.
2. Turning in narrow areas:
When turning in narrow areas, the driving route should be planned in advance to ensure that there is enough space to complete the turn.
When using a hand-held Road Roller, you should be more careful and operate cautiously at a low speed.
3. Turning on slippery ground:
When turning on slippery ground, the speed should be further reduced to avoid the vehicle slipping due to insufficient ground friction.
The tire pressure can be appropriately increased to improve the grip of the tire.
IV. Inspection after turning
1. Check the equipment status:
After the turn, check whether the various parts of the equipment are normal, especially the steering system and braking system.
Make sure that the equipment is not damaged during the turn.
2. Check the surrounding environment:
Make sure that the equipment is in a safe position after turning, and there are no obstacles or people around.
If any abnormality is found, stop and check immediately.
V. Training and awareness
1. Strengthen operator training:
Improve the operator's operating skills and safety awareness, and ensure that they are familiar with the turning operation procedures of the Road Roller.
Carry out safety training regularly to ensure that the operator understands the structure and performance of the equipment.
2. Improve the safety management system:
Strengthen on-site safety management to ensure that the accident rate is reduced.
Formulate and implement strict safety operating procedures to ensure that operators strictly abide by them when turning.
