4.1 PREPARING FOR WORK BEFORE FIRST USE The manufacturer guarantees that the trailer is fully operational and has been checked according to quality control procedures and is ready for normal use. This does not release the user from an obligation to check the machine's condition after delivery and before first use.
• Check of the hydraulic system operates correctly by activating individual hydraulic cylinders (first extend hydraulic cylinders of the left and right outrigger prior to activating any other components), • Ensure that hydraulic system does not have any leaks. ATTENTION! The trailer must not be used for purposes other than those for which it is intended.
Page 52
TABLE 4.1 TECHNICAL INSPECTION SCHEDULE DESCRIPTION SERVICE OPERATION FREQUENCY check the technical condition of safeguards, if Condition of safeguards complete and correctly mounted. Attach trailer to the tractor and test the brakes Operation of main brakes after moving off. After connecting trailer to the tractor activate in Correct operation of lights sequence individual lights, check if all and indicators.
ATTENTION! The trailer must not be used when not in working order. Prior to commencing hydraulic system conduits the user must familiarise himself with the content of the tractors operating instructions and observe all recommendations of the manufacturer. 4.3 ATTACHING TO TRACTOR Linkage of the trailer and the tractor is only possible when tractor is equipped with a hitch with permissible vertical load off more than 2,000 kg.
When connecting braking system conduits (this refers to double-conduit pneumatic system), first connect the yellow connector to yellow socket in the tractor and only then connect the red connector to the red socket in the tractor. Once the 2nd conduit connected, the braking system will switch to normal mode of operation (disconnection or piercing of the conduits causes the trailer's braking system control valve to automatically apply brakes).
Page 55
DANGER The maximum carrying capacity of the trailer and the grapple loader lift must not be exceeded. People or animals must not be carried. Loading and unloading work should be carried out by someone experienced in this type of work. The load may not protrude further out than the upper edge of the trailer's front wall.
Page 57
FIGURE 4.2A Jib rotation angle Depending on the size (length) of wood logs prepared for transport, load space can be increased or reduced. In order to do this use relevant tractor's manifold levers to adjust the loading space length to current needs. This operation should be performed prior to loading. Spacing between trailer stakes is shown on figure (3.16A).
All hydraulic oil flow regulators of the jib rotation circuit have factory settings and are lead- sealed. Any attempt to change the setting in this circuit may damage the trailer and void the guarantee. 4.5 TRANSPORTING THE TRAILER When travelling on public roads, respect the road traffic regulations, exercise caution and prudence.
Page 59
FIGURE 4.3A Grapple loader transportation position • When driving the trailers and rabble loader must be retracted so that the grapple rests on the load box. Recommended grapple loader transportation position is shown in figure (4.3A). • When travelling on public roads trailer must be marked with a slow-moving vehicle warning sign attached to the extendable frame.
• When driving on public roads, drawbar must be positioned on a symmetry plane and blocked by a pin. Repositioning of the drawbar using the power steering system is allowable in difficult terrain only. FIGURE 4.4A Drawbar locking mechanism (1) Drawbar locking pin 4.6 DISCONNECTING FROM TRACTOR In order to disconnect the trailer from the tractor perform the following: •...
DANGER When disconnecting the trailer maintain safe distance from the drawbar, which can suddenly move upwards. Trailer must not be disconnected when grapple loader jib is raised. Jib must be retracted to its transportation position, Trailer must not be disconnected when loaded. When disconnecting pneumatic system conduits (this refers to double-conduit pneumatic system), first disconnect the red connector and only then disconnect the yellow connector.

• Grasp wheel above and below and try to feel any slack play, this may equally be checked with the aid of a jack placed under the wheel supported on the floor/ground. If slack is felt, it is necessary to adjust bearing. Unusual sounds coming from bearing may be symptoms of excess wear, dirt or damage.
Inspection of slack and technical condition of wheel axle bearings must be performed after the first month of use or 100km of travel, and then every 6 months of trailer use. 5.2 REGULATION OF MAIN BRAKES Brakes regulation is necessary when: •...

FIGURE 5.2A Regulation of main brakes (1) expander shaft, (2) expander arm, (3) spring ring, (4) washer, (A), (B) regulation direction With properly regulated brakes, trailer main brake braking force should reach a value not less than that given in table (5.2).
The main brake system should be inspected annually and in case of need should be regulated. Difference in braking force of left and right wheel may not be greater than 30%, considering that 100% constitutes greater force. IMPORTANT! Main brake braking force, is the braking force of all trailer wheels. 5.3 REGULATION OF ROCKER ARM BEARING Regulation of rocker arm bearing should take place at the same time as wheel axle bearings regulation.

DANGER: The trailer must not be supported with the aid of brittle crumbling elements, e.g. hollow blocks, bricks or concrete blocks. The trailer should be prevented from rolling using wedges placed both sides under the wheels. After raising the trailer an additional strong solid support should be placed. 5.4 PNEUMATIC SYSTEM OPERATION As a part of trailer maintenance, it is necessary to conduct inspection of individual pneumatic systems, giving particular attention to places of all connections.
Page 71
FIGURE 5.4A Air tank (1) air tank, (2) drain valve, (3) braking force regulator Annually before the winter period unscrew and clean drain valve. Inspection of tightness and inspection of pneumatic braking systems in detail should be conducted at least annually and after repairs associated with this system. Depending on trailer working conditions, but not less than once in three months, take out and clean air filter inserts, which are placed in pneumatic system connection conduits.
Page 72
The insert and the air filter body should be cleaned at least every 3 months of trailer use. FIGURE 5.5A Air filter (1) securing slide lock, (2) air filter cover DANGER: Before proceeding to dismantle filter, reduce pressure in supply conduit. While disengaging filter slide lock, hold cover with other hand.

IMPORTANT! Trailer with a leaking hydraulic system must NOT be used. The condition of hydraulic systems should be inspected regularly while using trailer. The hydraulic system is under high pressure when operating. Regularly check the technical condition of the connections and the hydraulic conduits. Use the hydraulic oil recommended by the Producer.
Work connected with the repair, change or regeneration of system elements (hydraulic ram cylinders, conduit connections, hydraulic manifold, flow regulators etc.) should be entrusted to specialist establishments, having the appropriate technology and qualifications for this type of work. 5.6 STORAGE After finishing work with trailer cleaned thoroughly and wash with water jet.
