If you are thinking to start your business on
heavy equipment then its very necessary to take

duty vehicle is not similar to owning a car.

work like new.

Dont Reverse the Engine after Starting It
In order to prolong the life of the engine you
should allow it to warm up on its own and avoid
the urge to rev it up. Whenever you are reversing
a cold engine you will be running cold liquids
over the engine. This damages the engine parts
rather than making it warm.
4
Frequent Change of Air Filter
Extra heat in an engine draws in more dirt, dust
and other debris. These materials are filtered by
the air filter and keep your engine free of
debris. If you are not properly changing the air
filter it leads to accumulation of waste
materials and causes severe damage to the engine.
5
Check Brake Parts and Other Components
When you are handling a heavy duty vehicle
youve to apply more weight and pressure on the
brake pads, shoes and rotors every time you stop.
If you are not changing these brake pads often it
results in thinning and even put your safety at
risk.
6
Hose down Engine Regularly
Its always recommended to open the hood and hose
down the exterior of the engine because it
removes any fluids that have splashed onto the
engine and keeps it cleaner overall. Whenever you
drive a long distance this should be done without
fail.
