of steel and accelerate the aging of the tires. The machine must be unloaded
during storage time. The trailer should be washed and dried very thoroughly.
• Corroded areas should be cleaned of rust, degreased and protected with a primer
paint and then painted with a topcoat according to the color scheme.
• In the event of a longer downtime, it is necessary to grease all components
regardless of the period of the last treatment.
• Rims and tires should be carefully washed and dried. During longer storage of
unused trailer, it is recommended to move the machine once every 2-3 weeks so
that the place of contact of the tire with the ground is in a different position. The
tires will not deform and will maintain proper geometry. Tire pressure should be
checked from time to time and, if necessary, the tires inflated to the correct value.

5.11 FLOOR CONVEYOR CHAINS TENSION REGULATION

The tension of the floor conveyor chains must be checked every day, especially during the
initial period of operation. The tension is checked visually by observing the arrangement of
the chains on the trailer slides, checking the tension force. If there is hopping of links on the
drive sprocket of the conveyor mechanism during operation of the chains, tension of both
chains should be adjusted. The tensioning force for each of the chains is 200kg.
