1. If the engine overheats happens on ordinary roads, you should reduce the speed as quickly as possible, drive the concrete mixer truck to the tree shade or a relatively cool place and stop the vehicle. Open the engine cover and allow the engine to idle and wait for the engine temperature to return to normal gradually. After the temperature returns to normal, turn off the engine. Then wait for a period of time until the water temperature of the engine has sufficiently decreased, and then check the cooling water volume. If the amount of cooling water in the engine is seriously insufficient, replenish the cooling water by the specified amount, check the cooling system again. After confirming that there is no other problem, start the engine and continue driving.
2. If the engine is overheated on the expressway, the heater must be fully opened and the windows must be opened. Because the warm air helps to dissipate heat, the temperature of the cooling water can be greatly reduced. In this way, you can continue to drive, find the exit of the expressway nearby, and drive the mobile concrete mixer truck to a safe place for parking. Next, just follow the method described above to bring down the temperature of the engine.
