SECTION 5
DANGER
Carefully read the instructions for application of washing detergents and
maintenance preparations.
While washing with detergents wear appropriate protective clothing and
goggles protecting against splashing.
• Observe environmental protection principles and wash trailer in a place designed
for this purpose.
• Washing and drying the trailer must take place at temperatures above 0°C.
• Leaf springs should be cleaned using a hard brush. The space between spring
leaves should be blown using compressed air.

5.8 STORAGE

• Trailer should be kept in a closed or roofed building.
• If the machine will not be used for a long time, it is essential to protect it from
adverse weather conditions, especially those which initiate corrosion of steel,
have aggressive impact on anticorrosion coating and accelerate tyre ageing.
During this time the machine must be unloaded. Trailer should be very carefully
washed and dried.
• Corroded places should be cleaned of rust, degreased and protected using
undercoat paint and then painted with surface paint according to colour scheme.
• In the event of prolonged work stoppage, it is essential to lubricate all elements
regardless of the period of the last lubrication process.
• Wheel rims and tyres should be carefully washed and dried. During a longer
storage of unused trailer it is recommended that the machine should be moved a
bit once every 2 - 3 weeks in order to change the place of contact of tyres with the
ground. The tyres will not be deformed and maintain proper geometry. Also, tyre
pressure should be inspected from time to time, and if necessary pressure should
be increased to the appropriate value.
