- Fill the battery with electrolyte and charge to the maximum.
After that, the transport can be checked for correct operation:
- Check the operation of electrical appliances, the presence of leakage of technical liquids;
- Check the reliability of the mounting wheels and the pressure level in the tires;
- Check the status of the control and braking systems.
If any of the systems found faults, use the machine is prohibited. To eliminate it, it is recommended to contact the specialized KamAZ service, where repairs will be carried out under warranty. If all goes well, you can start the engine.
After start it is necessary to allow the power plant to work in idle mode. This is necessary to warm all the technical components to the operating temperature. The first trip should be trial - a distance of no more than 20-25 kilometers. The running period is 1000 kilometers. During this time, it is not recommended to exceed the speed of 50 km / h, and the load should not be more than 75% of the nominal.
The manufacturer gives the following recommendations for the operation of the truck:
- Refuel with fuel complying with GOST 305-82;
- To buy technical fluids from among those recommended by the plant;
- Movement can begin as soon as there is sufficient pressure in the brake circuit. This driver informs a special indicator in the cabin;
- It is not recommended to disconnect the battery when the engine is running;
- If one of the indicators of the information management system caught fire, it is required to complete a full stop of the transport and find out the exact reason for its activation;
- Oil and air filters must be changed at the exact time. Poor filter quality can cause serious damage;
- Locking differentials when driving on the ground or off-road is unacceptable.
