Page 24
• Do NOT change the settings of bolts placed on axle body limiting angle of axle turning (turning block bolts are set in the factory). Change of bolt settings may cause damage to braking system elements and damage to tyres. •...
• Do NOT make repairs to drawbar eye (straightening, repairing or welding). Damaged drawbar eye should be replaced. • Reduce the oil or air pressure in the trans-shipment trailer before dismantling the hydraulic or pneumatic elements. • Regularly check the technical condition of the connections and the hydraulic and pneumatic leads.
2.4 HITCHING, UNHITCHING • Be especially careful when attaching the machine. Ensure appropriate visibility and check that persons assisting in hitching the machine are at a safe distance from danger zone. • When attaching, there must be nobody between the trans-shipment trailer and the tractor.
• Repair work on the wheels or tyres should be carried out by persons trained and entitled to do so. This work should be carried out using appropriately selected tools. • Regularly inspect the tightness of nuts securing the wheel to the axle according to the recommendations of the axle manufacturer.
• When disconnected from the tractor the trans-shipment trailer must be secured by parking brake and wedges. • Do NOT move off or drive when support is lowered. FIGURE 2.1 Positioning of warning sign (1) warning sign, (2) attachment point 2.7 OPERATION OF ARTICULATED TELESCOPIC SHAFT •...

4.1 PREPARING FOR WORK BEFORE FIRST USE The manufacturer guarantees that the trans-shipment 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.
Page 73
• Check if the nuts and bolts fixing the wheels, the drawbar and front conveyor are properly tightened, • Drain air tank of the brake system. • Ensure that pneumatic, hydraulic and electric connections in agricultural tractor are according to the requirements, if not the trans-shipment trailer should not be hitched to the tractor.
Page 74
• Disconnect PTO drive, turn off tractor engine, unhitch trans-shipment trailer from tractor. Service operation hitching/unhitching from tractor, regulation of clutch pressure supply etc. are described in detail in further parts of the instructions. The trans-shipment trailer may be hitched only when all preparatory activities including inspection of technical condition have been completed satisfactorily.
4.2 ATTACHING TO TRACTOR Ensure that pneumatic, hydraulic and electric connections and the hitch of agricultural tractor are according to the Manufacturer's requirements, if not the trans-shipment trailer should not be hitched to the tractor. In order to hitch the trans-shipment trailer to the tractor perform the actions below in the sequence presented.
Page 76
• Connect to conduit hydraulic clutch system (black). Conduit with mounted return valve should be connected to socket "slow pouring” by-passing hydraulic manifold. DANGER When hitching, there must be nobody between the trailer and the tractor. When hitching the machine, tractor driver must exercise caution and make sure that nobody is present in the hazard zone.
ATTENTION! Trans-shipment trailer may only be hitched to a tractor, which has the appropriate connection sockets for braking, hydraulic and electrical, and hydraulic oil in both machines is the same type and also the tractor hitch is capable of bearing the vertical drawbar loading of the loaded trailer.

IMPORTANT! Do not move and drive with lowered support. 4.4 LOADING Load box can be loaded only when the trailer is connected to the tractor and positioned horizontally. Always aim at distributing the load uniformly in the load box. This will ensure stability when travelling and correct axle and drawbar loads.
With regard to the varying density of materials, using the total load box capacity may cause exceeding permissible carrying capacity of the trailer. ATTENTION! Do NOT exceed permissible load weight of trailer because this may cause danger while travelling and cause damage to the machine. 4.5 SECURING LOAD Regardless of the type of load carried, the user is obliged to secure it in such a manner that the load is unable to spread and cause contamination of the road.
FIGURE 4.2 TARPAULIN COVER (1) crank strip, (2) tarpaulin cover, (3) strap clamp, (4) fastening strap 4.6 TRANSPORTING THE TRAILER When travelling on public or private roads, respect the road traffic regulations, exercise caution and prudence. Listed below are the key guidelines for driving the tractor and trailer combination.
Page 82
• Raise trans-shipment trailer support and secure it in transport position. • Ensure that trans-shipment trailer is properly hitched to the tractor and that the tractor hitch has been properly secured. • While reversing immobilise rear turning axle with the aid of turning interlock cylinder rams.
• Speed must be sufficiently reduced before making a turn or driving on an uneven road or a slope. • During reversing one should use the assistance of another person, who gives directions standing clear of the danger zone. 4.7 UNLOADING Unloading with the aid of vertical conveyor FIGURE 4.3 GEAR WHEEL TRANSMISSION...
Page 84
• Start tractor PTO at speed of approx. 500 revs (auger conveyor begins to rotate). • Using tractor manifold lever start hydraulic clutch (drive to container augers is started). Gradually increase PTO revs, until a speed of 1,000 revs is reached. •...
• Disconnect clutch. Operation of auger conveyors in container must be short enough so that grain from the collecting shaft does not reach the vertical conveyor. • During unloading monitor working pressure of hydraulic clutch. During unloading using the channel chute there is no need to unfold the vertical conveyor. The load from the container shall pour directly to the reception hopper grating.
• Unhitch trans-shipment trailer drawbar eye from tractor hitch and drive tractor away. Wheel wedges shall be so placed that one of the is in front of the wheel and the second is behind it. Pneumatic system conduits must be placed in the sockets designed for this purpose positioned on the drawbar bracket.
4.10 WEIGHER OPERATION 4.10.1 MOUNTING INDICATOR Weight indicator should be placed in tractor operator cab. Panel should be secured with the aid of rubber suction to windscreen. Select mounting place, we are indicator shall be visible and animal operation will not cause difficulty during driving the tractor. After securing indicator then connect conduit supply connecting attached to weighing system.
Power supply and signal lead plugs are so designed that it is impossible to connect them incorrectly to the indicator panel. 4.10.2 STANDARD WORK Switching weigher on. • Press ON/OFF button . A short HELLO message appears. Weigher moves into weighing mode GROSS (total weight).

sideways, if there is an insignificant pressure drop in braking system one should consider the system to be reliable. A metallic noise during braking, rapid heating of brake drums, uncontrolled slips sideways, jerking of trailer, too low air pressure, sudden pressure drop or other symptoms appearing during braking may be the cause of brake shoe lining wear, damage connectors or conduits, unreliability of control valve or other serious system faults.
Contact of pneumatic leads with oils, greases, petrol etc. may cause damage and accelerate ageing process. Bent conduits, permanently deformed, cut or worn should be replaced. Tightness inspection: • After a week of use • Every 12 months of use. 5.2.9 CLEANING THE AIR FILTERS 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.
