Damaged connection body or socket for connecting the second trailer should be replaced. In
the event of damage to cover or seal, change these elements for new reliable elements.
Contact of pneumatic connector seals with oils, grease, petrol etc. may cause damage and
accelerate ageing process.
If the trailer is unhitched from the tractor, connections should be protected by cover or placed
in their designated socket. Before the winter, it is recommended to preserve the seal with
special preparations (e.g. silicon grease for rubber elements).
Each time before hitching the machine, inspect technical condition and cleanness of
connectors and sockets in tractor. If necessary, clean or repair tractor sockets.
Inspecting trailer connections:
• connection should be inspected every time before connecting trailer to
