Trailer Cleaning - PRONAR T400 Operator's Manual

CHAPTER 5
Before using lubricants, read the information leaflet for the selected product. Particularly
important are safety rules and how to handle a given lubricant and how to dispose of waste
(used containers, contaminated rags, etc.). The information leaflet (product card) should be
kept together with the grease.

5.9 TRAILER CLEANING

The trailer should be cleaned depending on demand and before a longer standstill (e.g.
before winter). The use of a pressure washer obliges the user to become familiar with the
principle of operation and recommendations for the safe operation of this device.
Guidelines for cleaning the trailer
• Before washing the trailer, open all walls and extensions. Thoroughly clean the
load box from cargo residues (sweep or blow with compressed air), especially
around walls and extensions.
• To clean the trailer, use only clean tap water or water with a cleaning detergent
additive with a neutral pH.
• The use of pressure washers increases the washing efficiency, but be careful
when working. During washing, the nozzle of the cleaning aggregate must not be
closer than 50 cm to the surface being cleaned.
• The water temperature should not exceed 55 °C.
• Do not direct the water jet directly at the elements of the installation and
equipment of the trailer, i.e. control valve, braking force regulator, brake cylinders,
hydraulic cylinders, pneumatic, electric and hydraulic plugs, lights, electrical
connectors, information and warning stickers, statutory plate, cable connectors,
trailer lubrication points, etc. High pressure water jet may cause mechanical
damage to these components.
• For cleaning and maintenance of plastic surfaces, it is recommended to use clean
water or special preparations intended for this purpose.
• Do not use organic solvents, preparations of unknown origin or other substances
that may damage the painted, rubber or plastic surface. It is recommended to
carry out the test on a not visible surface in case of doubt.
