    PRONAR T679/5 SECTION 5 Switch off the tractor's engine and check all hydraulic cylinders for tightness. If oil is found on hydraulic cylinder body, check origin of leak. Inspect hydraulic seals when hydraulic cylinder is completely extended. Minimum leaks are permissible with symptoms of "sweating".

    SECTION 5 PRONAR T679/5 • Detergents should be kept in original containers, optionally in replacement containers, but very clearly marked. Preparations may not be stored in food and drink containers. • Ensure cleanliness of elastic conduits and seals. The plastic from which these elements are made may be susceptible to organic substances and some detergents.

  • Page 110 PRONAR T679/5 SECTION 5 The tailgate position should be checked during trailer operation. If the tailgate position is incorrect, a gap will occur between the side edge of the tailgate and the rear surface of the load box. If both surfaces do not adhere precisely to each other, the load box is not tight and scattering of bulk materials may occur.
