SECTION 5
• Washing detergent should be kept in original containers, optionally in replacement
containers, but very clearly marked. Preparations may not be stored in food and
drink containers.
• Care for the cleanness of elastic conduits and seals. The plastic from which these
elements are made may be susceptible to organic substances and some
detergents. As a result of long-term reaction of some substances, the ageing
process may be accelerated and risk of damage increased. Rubber elements
should be maintained with the aid of special preparations after previous thorough
washing.
• After finishing washing wait until trailer is dry and then grease all inspection points
according to recommendations. Remove excess oil or grease with a dry cloth.
• Observe environmental protection principles and wash trailer in a place designed
for this purpose.
• Washing and drying trailer must take place at temperatures above 0° C.
• After washing and drying, trailer should be greased at all control points regardless
of last lubrication period.
