10.4.2 Cleaning the vehicle
There is a risk of injuries on rotating and movable parts when cleaning work is
performed with the trailer coupled.
When performing cleaning tasks, turn off the towing vehicle engine, apply the parking
brake and remove the ignition key.
Empty the trailer completely before cleaning the inside.
Remove stones or other foreign objects from the trailer with a shovel or similar tool.
Cleaning
During the first four weeks, clean the trailer only with clear water and do not use a high-pressure
cleaner. If the trailer is delivered in winter, it must be washed immediately after it is received to remove
any road salt that has collected on the trailer.
Note the following rules for upkeep of the trailer:
- Wash the trailer only with clear water without any cleaning additives to prevent paint
damage. Repair any paint damage immediately.
- When cleaning with a high-pressure cleaner, maintain a distance of at least 400 mm with the
spray nozzle.
- The water temperature must not exceed 60° when cleaning.
- Clean the trailer after every use in winter to prevent damage from road salt.
- Clean impurities out of the dirt traps regularly. This can be done with a high-pressure
cleaner.
Note the following rules for cleaning and maintaining the electrical connections:
As a rule, electrical connections must not be cleaned with water or mechanical objects. We recommend
that you use compressed air at 6 to 8 bar in combination with an air blow gun.
10.4.3 Corrosion protection
Assemblies and components of the vehicle are supplied from the factory with comprehensive corrosion
protection. This corrosion protection can be damaged by a wide range of external influences. It must
therefore be checked on a regular basis and restored if necessary.
Caution: risk of damage!
Road salt is highly aggressive and can damage the corrosion protection.
Therefore, observe the following during winter:
- Clean the vehicle more frequently
- Carefully remove any road salt residue
- Check the corrosion protection more frequently and, if necessary, have
it restored
To avoid corrosion:
- Check the corrosion protection more frequently when using the vehicle in winter.
- Check the vehicle, and the compressed air and hydraulic lines in particular, for corrosion on a
regular basis.
- Have damaged corrosion protection restored by a specialist workshop.
- Have a specialist workshop remove any corrosion and apply corrosion protection to the affected
areas.
