After all, water tanker special tanks are in contact with different water quality and foreign substances every day. If they are not maintained, the operation effect of the vehicle will also be affected. Therefore, water tanker anti-corrosion maintenance is particularly important in many maintenances.

Below, Brother Biao lists a few water tanker maintenance tips for riders to share with you.

  1. According to the application requirements of the paint, the Water tanker should be filled with water and soaked for five days before use, then rinse the coating surface with water, then rinse the coating surface with water, and then fill with water and wait for two days, then drain the water It is ready to be filled with drinking water.
  2. Frequently check the sealing conditions of parts such as the connection switch and water absorption hose of the sprinkler water system. If any leakage is found, restore or replace the seals immediately.
  3. Frequently check the fixed conditions of the Water tanker, pump frame, and bracket. All nuts are tightened to ensure that the connection is tight and reliable.
  4. Frequently check the connection between the power take-off and the water pump. The connection should be reliable and normal operation. If oil leakage is found in the power take-off and the water pump during use, the seals should be replaced.
  5. Water tanker waterway system has no antifreeze device. Therefore, after use in severe cold areas with temperatures below degrees Celsius, all the accumulated water in the water pump, water tank and waterway system should be drained immediately. Pay attention to the water pump drain screw plug after draining the water, it should be closed tightly to ensure Seal, otherwise it will affect the water pump suction.
  6. The paint on the tank body must not be stuck with gasoline and kerosene, because this will accelerate the damage of the paint. Check the quality of the paint on the tank body on time. When the paint is damaged, touch up the paint in time to prevent the tank body from rusting.
  7. The medium passing through the ball valve should not be too dirty, so as not to damage the sealing ring and reduce the service life of the ring valve. Each ball valve should not work in a half-open state for a long time, otherwise the sealing ring will be easily deformed.
  8. The filter screen of the inlet pump should be removed and washed frequently to prevent the dregs from clogging the filter screen and affecting the flow of water.
  9. Because there is a wood rubber pad between the tank body and the water tanker girder, the U-shaped bolts will loosen due to the deformation of the wood glue after the water tank is loaded. Therefore, the U-shaped bolts must be tightened regularly, especially for new cars. This must be done when using it.

Of course, the quality of the water tanker also determines the speed and degree of rust and corrosion. Some manufacturers have taken this into consideration, and deliberately put a lot of thought into this area;

For example, the Water tanker produced by Chengli Company especially uses Akzo primer. Akzo Paint is famous for its high-quality, innovative products and modern production facilities. Its advantages are that it is non-toxic, pollution-free, and waste-free, and is called environmentally friendly paint.

When the appearance of the Water tanker is fully formed, sandblasting process, automatic paint baking process and multi-layer anticorrosive coating will be used to make the paint adhere evenly, with high adhesion, and high gloss on the tank body. The paint will not last for 6-8 years. Will fall off and last longer.

Therefore, before you choose a sprinkler, you must also consider the baking process, which is related to the durability and life of the water tanker.
