Regular maintenance of the ambulance can effectively prolong the service life of the vehicle.

When maintaining the vehicle, the vehicle driver should be notified in advance.

Here we summarize some maintenance skills

1. Check your radiator and cooling system

A quick check of the radiator coolant is as simple as checking the fluid level in the plastic overflow bottle on most cars. The coolant level should be between the high and low marks.

Once the engine has cooled, you can also remove the radiator cap and check the fluid level in the radiator. Open the hood and inspect the hoses and pipes

2. Check the oil

It is very important to check your oil at least once a month. If you leave the oil on for too long, it's easy to overlook the oil problem and can cause expensive damage to your engine

3. Check the tires

Checking your tire pressure and general condition can help extend its life and make your car safer overall.

Incorrect tire pressure can shorten the life of your tires and potentially make your car less safe to drive. The correct tire pressure for your car is on the tire placard, usually located inside one of the front doors.

It is also important to check the tread of all tires. The legal minimum tread depth on any part of the tire surface is 1.5 mm. The tire has tread depth indicators in the grooves between the treads. When the tread wears down to the level of the indicator, it's time for a new tire. Also check your tires for unusual wear and damage, such as cracks or bulges, which could indicate a suspension problem.

4. Check the transmission and power steering fluid

Low transmission and power steering fluid may indicate bigger problems with your car

5. Maintenance of windshield wipers and washer fluid

Making sure your windshield wipers are in top condition and that you have enough washer fluid is essential for a clear view while driving.

Fill your washer bottle with clean water and the right amount of windshield washer additive. Do not use household cleaners as they can damage your paint and wiper blades.

7. Check your headlights, taillights and indicators

Headlights are not only important for your safety and the safety of others, it's also the law. Test your indicators and headlights frequently, including high beams

8. Maintenance of rescue equipment is also important

This is especially frustrating when, for example, the stretcher fails and renders the entire vehicle inoperable. The cost of downtime is as high as the cost of a serious accident
