HINO QUALITY SERVICE BRAKES
Brakes: Your most important safety system
No other safety system on your Hino (or any truck, for that matter) is as important as the brakes. Proper adjustment, lining thickness and fluid levels are crucial to ensuring the shortest possible stopping distances, and to maintaining vehicle stability under braking.

Periodic inspection is the key
Your Hino original equipment braking system was carefully designed to provide maximum performance and service life. However, like all moving parts, it is subject to wear with use. Brake parts may not always give a clear indication that they are reaching the end of their service life. The only way to know for sure is to have your brakes inspected regularly by a qualified technician.

Tips on getting maximum brake life:

• Anticipate slowing down well ahead of time and apply the brakes with an easy, steady pressure. Use your exhaust brake when possible;
• While braking, leave the truck in gear and allow “engine braking” to assist in the slowing or stopping process;
• Use lower gears during long downhill sections, rather than relying on the brakes;
• Allow extra room between you and the vehicle ahead to allow more time for slowing or stopping;
• Have your braking system inspected regularly—worn-out linings ultimately lead to metal-on-metal contact and expensive damages to non-lining components.

Trust your brakes to your Hino Care Professional

All brake parts are not created equal. Hino heavy-duty linings are designed specifically for maximum performance and service life on your Hino truck.

COOLING SYSTEM
The importance of keeping your cool!
The cooling system is one of the most important systems in your Hino engine. Even in winter, a diesel engine develops significant internal heat that must be transferred to the outside atmosphere. Clean radiator passages and water jackets, a well-lubricated water pump, secure Vbelts and a properly functioning thermostat are all essential for your Hino to warm up quickly and operate in an optimum temperature range for highest efficiency.

Did you know that Hino trucks only need to be serviced after 600,000 kilometers or 3 years (whichever occurs first):
All Hino conventional trucks provides for these extended intervals.)

Trust your cooling system service to your Hino Care Professional
Your Hino cooling system was designed to keep operating temperatures in the optimum range to deliver hundreds of thousands of trouble-free kilometers. To ensure maximum life, your Hino dealer uses only genuine Hino parts and anti-freeze specifically formulated for your Hino truck. Why take a chance anywhere else?

OIL
The importance of clean oil
Motor oil plays a vital role in lubricating the internal moving parts in an engine. This is especially critical in a diesel truck that—by nature—creates high internal pressures and is often under heavy loads. What you may not be aware of is that oil plays a crucial role in cooling. Motor oil works hand-in-hand with the cooling system to carry heat away from the internal engine parts. Oil that is contaminated with carbon and other by-products of the internal combustion process not only increases wear on moving parts, but is also less efficient as a supplementary coolingagent.

Why you should change your oil and filter every 10,000 kilometers:

• Build-up of combustion by-products can result in greater friction between moving parts, resulting in premature wear and high operating temperatures;
• Continuous high heat can cause viscosity breakdown, reducing the oil’s ability to protect moving parts;
• Water can build up in the oil through condensation ruining the lubricating capability of the oil.
• If the oil filter becomes clogged, the oil will bypass it, sending dirty, unfiltered oil to critical engine parts.

Things you can do to protect your investment:

• Check your oil level daily to ensure that it is in the operating range on the dipstick. If the engine is hot, allow a few minutes for the oil to return to the pan for a more accurate reading;
• Take a walk around your truck looking for any leaks. These can be caused by coolant and brake fluid as well as motor oil. If you spot any tell-tale signs, contact us immediately at 604-881-4667
