Pronar T902 SECTION 4 The load box tailgate is equipped with the grain chute – figure (4.4) for unloading loose materials. The width of the grain chute opening (1) can be adjusted during unloading. The nut on the securing clamp (3) must be loosened in order to open the grain chute gate.
Page 80
SECTION 4 Pronar T902 maximum carrying capacity must not be exceeded as this can damage the machine and pose a risk to the operator or other road users. • Permissible design speed and maximum speed allowed by road traffic law must not be exceeded.
Pronar T902 SECTION 4 • Speed must be sufficiently reduced before making a turn or driving on an uneven road or a slope. 4.7 DISCONNECTING FROM TRACTOR In order to disconnect the trailer from the tractor proceed as follows: Once the tractor is stopped, immobilise the trailer using parking brake. The brake is activated by means of the crank mechanism - see figure (3.14).
Page 82
SECTION 4 Pronar T902 • Inspect tightness of nuts before the first use of trailer, after the first travel under load and then every 6 months of use or every 25,000 km. In the event of intensive work, check the nut tightening at least every100 km. The inspection should be repeated individually if a wheel has been removed from the wheel axle.
Pronar T902 SECTION 5 5.1 PRELIMINARY INFORMATION When using the trailer, regular inspections of its technical condition are essential and the performance of maintenance procedures, which keep the machine in good technical condition. In connection with this the user of the trailer is obliged to perform all the maintenance and adjustment procedures defined by the Manufacturer.

Page 88
SECTION 5 Pronar T902 Checking wheel axle bearings for slackness Turning the wheel slowly in both directions check that movement is smooth and that the wheel rotates without excessive resistance. Turn the wheel so that it rotates very quickly, check that the bearing does not make any unusual sounds.
Pronar T902 SECTION 5 Check condition of hub cover, if necessary replace with new cover. Inspection of bearing slackness may only be conducted, when the trailer is hitched to a tractor, and the load box is empty. 5.2.4 ADJUSTMENT OF SLACKNESS OF WHEEL AXLE BEARINGS FIGURE 5.2...
SECTION 5 Pronar T902 Unscrew nut (not less than 1/3 rotation) to align the nearest thread groove with the opening in wheel axle pin. Wheel should rotate with insignificant resistance. Nut may not be excessively tightened. Do not apply excessive pressure because working conditions of the bearings may deteriorate.
Page 91
Pronar T902 SECTION 5 Place wheel on hub, tighten nuts so that wheel rim tightly fits the hub. Lower trailer, tighten nuts according to recommended torque and given sequence. Wheel nuts should be tightened using a torque of 570 Nm - nuts M22x1.5.
SECTION 5 Pronar T902 IMPORTANT! Wheel nuts must not be tightened with impact wrench, because of danger of exceeding permissible tightening torque, the consequence of which may be breaking the thread connection or breaking off the hub pin. The greatest precision is achieved using a torque spanner. Before commencing work, ensure that correct tightening torque value is set.
Pronar T902 SECTION 5 Air pressure in tyres should be checked each time after changing a spare wheel and at least once a month. In the event of intensive use, air pressure in tyres should be checked more frequently. During this time trailer must be unloaded. Checking should be done before travelling when tyres are not heated, or after an extended period of parking.
