FAQ

 

Q: How to choose the appropriate main reducer gear ratio?

A: Gear ratio selection needs to consider factors such as vehicle engine horsepower, transmission model, and transportation scenario: For long-distance high-speed logistics, a small gear ratio of 3.08-3.73 is recommended to balance high-speed driving and fuel economy; for heavy-load and hilly scenarios, a large gear ratio of 4.44-6.72 is recommended to improve starting torque and climbing ability. You can consult our pre-sales technical team for accurate recommendations.

Q: What is the product's maintenance cycle? What precautions should I take?

A: The first maintenance is recommended within 5000 kilometers or 3 months of vehicle mileage, involving changing the gear oil. Subsequent regular maintenance intervals are 20000 kilometers or 12 months (whichever comes first). Use 85W-90 GL-5 heavy-duty gear oil during maintenance, ensuring the fill volume meets product requirements to avoid overfilling or underfilling affecting performance. Also check for leaks in the axle housing and loose bolts.

Q: Is the product compatible with my existing tractor?

A: This drive axle is compatible with mainstream tractor brands such as FAW J7, Dongfeng Tianlong, Sinotruk Howo, and Shaanxi Automobile Delong, and supports customization of various installation sizes and connection methods.

Q: How do I apply for after-sales service if a malfunction occurs during the warranty period?

A: If a malfunction occurs within the warranty period, you can submit a repair request through the official website's after-sales portal, service hotline, or regional dealer. You will need to provide the product serial number, proof of purchase, a description of the malfunction, and on-site photos. The after-sales team will verify the information and arrange for prompt handling. If on-site repair is required, technical personnel will be coordinated to ensure your operations are not affected.

Q: What could be the cause of abnormal noises during product operation?

A: Common causes include: insufficient or incompatible gear oil, abnormal gear meshing, damaged bearings, and loose half-shafts. It is recommended to first check the gear oil level and quality. If the abnormal noise persists despite normal levels, immediately stop using the product and contact after-sales service for inspection to prevent further damage.
