SECTION 5
Pronar T683
given, so that chemical substances used for this purpose do not damage the materials of the
hydraulic system. During normal trailer use change of hydraulic oil is not necessary, but if
required, this operation should be entrusted to a specialist service point.
Because of its composition the oil applied is not classified as a dangerous substance,
however long-term action on the skin or eyes may cause irritation. In the event of contact of
oil with skin wash the place of contact with water and soap. Do NOT apply organic solvents
(petrol, kerosene). Contaminated clothing should be changed to prevent access of oil to skin.
In the event of contact of oil with eye, rinse with large quantity of water and in the event of the
occurrence of irritation consult a doctor. Hydraulic oil in normal conditions is not harmful to
the respiratory tract. A hazard only occurs when oil is strongly atomised (oil vapour), or in the
case of fire during which toxic compounds may be released. Oil fires should be quenched
with the use of carbon dioxide, foam or extinguisher steam. Do not use water to quench oil
fires.
5.7.2 LUBRICANTS
For parts under great load it is recommended to apply lithium grease with molybdenum
disulphide (MOS
) or graphite additive. In the case of less loaded sub-assemblies the
2
application of general purpose machine greases is recommended, which contain
anticorrosion additive and have significant resistance to being washed away by water. Similar
characteristics should typify aerosol preparations (Silicon greases and anticorrosive lubricant
substances).
Before starting to use greases acquaint oneself with the content off the information leaflet for
the chosen product. In particular, the principles of safety and handling of the lubricant and
method of disposal (waste containers, contaminated rags, etc.) are essential. Information
leaflet (product sheet) should be stored together with the grease.
5.8 CLEANING TRAILER
Trailer should be cleaned depending on requirements and before longer idle periods (e.g.
before winter period). Before using pressure washer the user is obliged to acquaint himself
with the operating principles and recommendations concerning safe use of this equipment.
