5.19 LUBRICATION
IMPORTANT
During trailer operation, the user is obliged to ob-
serve lubrication instructions according to attached
lubrication schedule.
After the first month of trailer use grease all lubrica-
tion points.
After completed washing wait until the trailer is dry
and then grease all inspection points according to
recommendations. Remove excess oil or grease
with a dry cloth.
Trailer lubrication should be performed
with the aid of a manually or foot operated
grease gun, filled with recommended
grease. Before commencing work insofar
as is possible remove old grease and
other contamination. After completed lu-
brication, wipe off excess grease.
Parts to be lubricated with machine oil
should be wiped with dry clean cloth.
Apply oil to their surfaces using a brush or
oil can. Wipe off excess oil.
Change of grease in hub bearings should
be made at specialised service points,
equipped with the appropriate tools. In
order to conduct this lubrication, the com-
plete hub should be disassembled as
well as bearings and individual sealing
rings should be removed. After careful
washing and inspection, mount lubricated
elements. If necessary, bearing and seals
should be replaced with new ones.
Before beginning to grease leaf springs
remove contamination, wash with water
and leave to dry. Do not use pressure
washers, which may cause moisture pen-
etration between individual leaf spring
plates. Absorber plates should be lubri-
cated using an agent having both anticor-
rosion and lubricating properties, it is rec-
ommended to apply on outer leaf spring
surfaces very thin layer of lithium or lime
alkali grease. For this purpose, silicone
spray (for lubricating guides, locks, etc.)
can be used. Sliding surface of leaf spring
and leaf spring pin should be lubricated
according to recommendations presented
in Table 5.4.
Empty grease or oil containers should be
disposed of according to the recommen-
dations of the lubricant Manufacturer.
