Winter is coming, but we are preparing.
Ο August and the "people's bathrooms" it's time for them to end and we understand it with the sharp temperature variation that September has in store for us in its first days. His column Tip of the Week returns to provide her advice for her upcoming winter season, so that don't be surprised.
The first moves
From the end of August it is necessary to close a appointment in your workshops as the workload from the restart after August 15th rises and there are usual delays, which may take you out except programming.
The 4 basic checks
Dryer
First, check the situation where the dryer of the vehicle and the filter of, since this move will "witness" you any further problems who may become pregnant. For the best behavior of the air filtration system of the brakes and the suspension it would be good to carry out change of the filter (basic requirement of the vehicle or use certified of filters) and repair-replacement of the air drying system if is necessary.
Antifreeze fluids
Liquids with antifreeze property constitutes one Necessary winter vehicle preparations category. We start with the necessary antifreeze (prerequisite to repair air leaks) for the “boilers" air storage, in order to avoid immobilization of the vehicle from "frozen” valves brakes or their destruction.
Of course the basic one reference it is due to the existence of the main antifreeze, the one without which you do not start for winter, our "known" Paraflou for the engine cooling system. His choice Paraflou is a very important factor and it is optimal to choose the good quality for the avoidance of unpleasant effects in the future on Cooling system and its supporting parts.
We close with the anti-freezes fuel that you should use, especially those who move on north countries, where the thermometer often falls below the permissible –10 for the operation of the oil, as a result of which cooling is observed in the fuel. Select antifreeze oil with simultaneous antibacterial action to liquidate various unwanted microorganisms in the intercalary period from the summer to the winter months.
Battery and electrical parts
The batteries they empty fast in cold weather and may also be difficult to be charged. When preparing for winter, make sure your truck's battery is not past its expiration date. You will also want to check out the state of charge. Use one portable battery and one controller electrical system to count volts when fully charged and discharged.
