Pronar T669XL, Pronar T700XL SECTION 1 1.3 EQUIPMENT Some standard equipment elements, which were listed in table (1.4), may not be present in the delivered trailer. This allows the possibility of ordering new machines with a different set of optional equipment, replacing standard equipment.
Pronar T669XL, Pronar T700XL 1.4 TERMS & CONDITIONS OF WARRANTY PRONAR Sp. z o.o. Narew guarantees the reliable operation of the machine when it is used according to its intended purpose as described in the OPERATOR'S MANUAL. The repair period is specified in the WARRANTY BOOK.
Pronar T669XL, Pronar T700XL SECTION 1 The user is obliged to report immediately on noticing any wear in the paint coating or traces of corrosion, and to have the faults rectified whether they are covered by the warranty or not.
Page 21
SECTION 1 Pronar T669XL, Pronar T700XL must be nailed to the low platform planks of the vehicle or secured in another manner preventing their movement. The number of securing elements (cables, straps, chains and stay etc.) and the force necessary for their tensioning depends on a number of things, including weight of the trailer, the construction of vehicle carrying trailer, speed of travel and other conditions.
Pronar T669XL, Pronar T700XL SECTION 1 FIGURE 1.3 Positioning of transport lugs (1) transport lug, (2) lower longitudinal frame, (3) load box 1.5.2 INDEPENDENT TRANSPORT BY THE USER In the event of independent transport by the user after purchase of the trailer, the user must read the trailer Operator's Manual and adhere to the recommendations contained therein.
SECTION 1 Pronar T669XL, Pronar T700XL 1.6 ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS A hydraulic oil leak constitutes a direct threat to the natural environment owing to its limited biodegradability. The negligible solubility of hydraulic oil in water does not cause extreme toxicity of organisms living in the aquatic environment. The formation of a film of oil on the water may be the direct cause of physical action on organism, perhaps causing change of oxygen values in the water because of lack of direct contact of air with the water.
Pronar T669XL, Pronar T700XL SECTION 1 1.7 WITHDRAWAL FROM USE In the event of decision by the user to withdraw the trailer from use, comply with the regulations in force in the given country concerning withdrawal from use and recycling of machines withdrawn from use.

SECTION 2 Pronar T669XL, Pronar T700XL • The load must be arranged in such a way that it does not threaten the stability of the trailer and does not hinder driving. • Do NOT drive with the load box raised.
Pronar T669XL, Pronar T700XL SECTION 2 • Lower the load box before proceeding to deal with a malfunction. If it is necessary to raise the load box then secure it against dropping with the aid of load box support. The load box may not be loaded, and the trailer must be connected to a tractor and secured with the aid of chocks and also immobilised with the parking brake.
Page 31
SECTION 2 Pronar T669XL, Pronar T700XL FIGURE 2.1 Method of placing chocks (1) wheel chock, (2) axle wheel • While driving on public roads the trailer must be fitted with a certified or authorised reflective warning triangle. • Periodically drain water from the air tanks in pneumatic system. During frosts, freezing water may cause damage to pneumatic system components.
Page 32
Pronar T669XL, Pronar T700XL SECTION 2 the gross weight of the trailer. Exceeding the weight limit causes drastic reduction of the main brake force. • If the trailer is the last vehicle in the group, a slow-moving vehicle warning sign should be placed on the trailer's rear load box wall - figure (2.2).
SECTION 2 Pronar T669XL, Pronar T700XL 2.1.6 TYRES • When working with tyres, the trailer should be immobilised with parking brake and secured against rolling by placing chocks under wheel. Wheels can be taken off the trailer axle only when the trailer is not loaded.
Page 34
Pronar T669XL, Pronar T700XL SECTION 2 • The trailer can only be stood on when it is absolutely motionless and the tractor engine is switched off. Tractor and trailer should be immobilized with parking brake and chocks should be placed under the trailer wheels. Ensure that unauthorised persons do not have access to the tractor cab.
Page 35
SECTION 2 Pronar T669XL, Pronar T700XL • During welding work pay attention to flammable or fusible elements (parts of the pneumatic, electric and hydraulic systems, plastic parts). If there is a risk that they will catch fire or be damaged, they should be removed or covered with non- flammable material before commencing welding work.

Page 79
SECTION 4 Pronar T669XL, Pronar T700XL Loading of material in pieces or solid lumps must be from a low height. The load must not fall with great force on the floor of the load box, even if it is protected.
Pronar T669XL, Pronar T700XL SECTION 4 DANGER Overloading the trailer, erroneous loading and securing of the load is the most frequent cause of accidents during transport. If there is a danger of load packaging moving, do NOT transport this type of material.
Page 81
SECTION 4 Pronar T669XL, Pronar T700XL carrying capacity must not be exceeded as this can damage the trailer and pose a risk to the operator or other road users. • Permissible design speed and maximum speed allowed by road traffic law must not be exceeded.
Pronar T669XL, Pronar T700XL SECTION 4 ATTENTION Travelling with a high-volume load over ruts, ditches, roadside slopes etc. constitutes a great risk of overturning the trailer. Exercise particular caution. • Please note that the braking distance of the tractor and trailer combination is substantially increased at higher speeds and loads.
Page 83
SECTION 4 Pronar T669XL, Pronar T700XL ATTENTION Tipping may only be performed when trailer is hitched to tractor. Tipping the load box must be done on hard and level ground. Do NOT tip load box in strong gusty winds conditions.
Pronar T669XL, Pronar T700XL SECTION 4 DANGER Ensure that during unloading nobody is near tipped load box or load material pouring out. When closing the rear grain chute gate take particular care to avoid crushing fingers.
