with the use of carbon dioxide, foam or extinguisher steam. Do not use water to quench oil

fires.

5.9.2 LUBRICANTS

For parts under great load it is recommended to apply lithium grease with molybdenum

disulphide (MOS

) or graphite additive. In the case of less loaded sub-assemblies the

application of general purpose machine greases is recommended, which contain

anticorrosion additive and have significant resistance to being washed away by water. Similar

characteristics should typify aerosol preparations (Silicon greases and anticorrosive lubricant

substances).

Before starting to use greases acquaint oneself with the content off the information leaflet for

the chosen product. Particularly relevant are safety rules and handling procedures for given

lubricant product and waste utilisation (used containers, contaminated rags etc.). Information

leaflet (material safety data sheet) should be kept together with grease.

Trailer should be cleaned depending on requirements and before longer idle periods (e.g.

before winter period). Before using pressure washer the user is obliged to acquaint himself

with the operating principles and recommendations concerning safe use of this equipment.

Trailer cleaning guidelines

• To clean trailer only use clean running water or water with a cleaning detergent

additive with neutral pH.

• Using pressure washer increases washing effectiveness, but particular care must

be taken during work. During washing, washer nozzle may not be closer than 50

cm from the surface being cleaned.

• Water temperature shall not exceed 55°C.

• Do not direct water stream directly at system elements and equipment of the

trailer i.e. control valve, braking force regulator, brake cylinders, pneumatic,

electric and hydraulic plugs, lights, electrical connections, information and

warning decals, identification plate, conduit connections and lubrication points etc.

Great water jet pressure may damage these elements.
